ALLHAT, which enrolled participants aged 55 years or older with hypertension (HTN) starting in February 1994, completed follow-up in March 2002. The current study was conducted from a subset of Black GenHAT participants randomized to the treatment groups of either chlorthalidone (n = 3745) or lisinopril (n = 2294), with genetic data available from a prior genetic association study. The current study's objective was to examine the association of the SBP PRS to AHT response over 6 months, as well as to examine the predictive accuracy of the SBP PRS with aTRH. The current analysis took place in February 2023, with additional analyses conducted in July 2024.ExposureAn SBP PRS (comprising 1 084 157 genetic variants) stratified as quintiles and per SD.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcome was change in SBP (ΔSBP) and diastolic BP (ΔDBP) over 6 months. aTRH was defined as the use of 3 AHTs with uncontrolled HTN at year 3 of follow-up or taking 4 or more AHTs at year 3 of follow-up, regardless of BP. Baseline demographics were compared across PRS quintiles using Kruskal-Wallis or χ2 tests as appropriate. The least-square means of BP response were calculated through multivariable adjusted linear regression, and multivariable adjusted logistic regression was used to calculate the odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for aTRH.ResultsAmong 3745 Black GenHAT participants randomized to chlorthalidone treatment, median (IQR) participant age was 65 (60-71) years, and 2064 participants (55.1%) were female. Each increasing quintile of the SBP PRS from 1 to 5 was associated with a reduced BP response to treatment over 6 months. Participants in the lowest quintile experienced a mean ΔSBP of -10.01 mm Hg (95% CI, -11.11 to -8.90) compared to -6.57 mm Hg (95% CI, -7.67 to -5.48) for participants in the median quintile. No associations were observed between the SBP PRS and BP response to lisinopril. Participants in the highest PRS quintile had 67% higher odds of aTRH compared to those in the median quintile (odds ratio, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.19-2.36). These associations were independently validated.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this genetic association study, Black individuals with HTN at a lower genetic risk of elevated BP experienced an approximately 3.5 mm Hg-greater response to chlorthalidone compared with those at an intermediate genetic risk of elevated BP.

To understand factors explaining these trends, a series of logistic regression models was constructed for each outcome, with time as the primary explanatory variable. After adjusting for changing patent characteristics and procedural factors, a series of exploratory analyses was performed to examine the extent to which these findings could be explained by several plausible hypotheses.ResultsThis study's analytic cohort included a total of 210 495 patients. Median (IQR) patient age was 79 (73-85) years, and 91 313 patients (43.4%) were female. Median (IQR) STS predicted risk of mortality (PROM) was 3.3% (2.0%-5.3%).

However, no site-level, patient-related, or process-related factors were identified that could explain these findings. Although the absolute increase in risk-adjusted mortality during the study period was relatively small, these findings warrant continued surveillance.","PeriodicalId":14657,"journal":{"name":"JAMA cardiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":24.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142443755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite numerous advancements in transcatheter and surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR), HF decompensation remains the leading cause of cardiac rehospitalization and a major predictor of mortality in patients with AS, before or after AVR. This review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the interplay between AS and HF, delving into myocardial changes caused by stenotic insult, the impact of AVR on these changes, and the prevalence and contributing elements of HF before and after AVR.ObservationsThe prevalence of HF remains high before and after AVR, particularly among patients with left ventricular dysfunction. Increased afterload from AS causes cardiac remodeling, which is initially benign but over time these changes become maladaptive, contributing to HF and increased mortality. The progression of HF is influenced by the degree of reverse cardiac remodeling, which can be affected by comorbid conditions, the hemodynamic performance of the valve prosthesis, and vascular stiffness. Several blood and imaging biomarkers offer insights into underlying AS pathophysiology, serving as mortality predictors and predicting HF in this patient population.Conclusions and RelevanceHF development in AS is multifactorial and its link to left ventricular dysfunction is a complex process. Delineating the determinants of HF admissions in AS is crucial for identifying individuals at high risk. Identifying the early signs of left ventricular decompensation by using surrogate markers may be the key, even before left ventricular function becomes impaired. Translating multimodality imaging techniques and biomarkers into routine clinical practice for evaluating cardiac damage and integrating these markers with patient and procedural factors that affect HF before and after AVR can facilitate timely intervention, minimizing the likelihood of HF progression and influencing future guidelines.","PeriodicalId":14657,"journal":{"name":"JAMA cardiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":24.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142443749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
