Quality of life (QoL) is possibly the most important variable for the patient when subjective results of heart procedures are evaluated. The purpose of this study was to analyze the change in the quality of life 1 year after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). Design. A Finnish single-center prospective cohort intervention study was performed from 2013 to 2018. QoL was assessed with the EQ-5D-3L VAS questionnaire before surgery and 6 and 12 months after surgery. We used univariate analysis to assess the change in the number of people experiencing problems and logistic regression analysis to assess the patients’ characteristics on the change in QoL. Results. At one year follow-up, patients’ quality of life improved in all EQ-5D dimensions. The greatest decreases in patients experiencing problems 12 months after surgery occurred in the dimension “mobility” (–24.1% change in reporting problems, p < .01), “self-care” (–32.9%, p < .01), and “pain or discomfort” (–25.7%, p < .01). Before surgery mean of EQ visual analogue scale (VAS, from 0 to 100) was 63.0 (SD 17.7, n = 604), and 12 months after surgery 81.2 (SD 13.8, n = 367, p < .001). In multivariable analysis, preoperative obesity was associated with better quality of life (OR 3.39, 95% CI 1.007–11.439) in “daily activities” and patients’ higher operative risk was associated with better “self-care” after surgery. Conclusions. SAVR can improve the 1-year quality of life in all dimensions of EQ–5D and self-rated overall health (VAS).","PeriodicalId":21383,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Cardiovascular Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49015118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Urinary albumin excretion is a risk marker for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Studies suggest that urinary orosomucoid may be a more sensitive marker of general endothelial dysfunction than albuminuria. The aim of this population-based cross-sectional study was to examine the associations between urinary orosomucoid to creatinine ratio (UOCR), urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) and subclinical CVD. Design. From the Tromsø Study (2007/2008), we included all men and women who had measurements of urinary orosomucoid (n = 7181). Among these, 6963 were examined with ultrasound of the right carotid artery and 2245 with echocardiography. We assessed the associations between urinary markers and subclinical CVD measured as intima media thickness of the carotid artery, presence and area of carotid plaque and diastolic dysfunction (DD). UOCR and UACR were dichotomized as upper quartile versus the three lowest. Results. High UOCR, adjusted for UACR, age, cardiovascular risk factors and kidney function, was associated with presence of DD in men (OR: 3.18, 95% CI [1.27, 7.95], p = .013), and presence of plaque (OR: 1.20, 95% CI [1.01, 1.44], p = .038) and intima media thickness in women (OR: 1.34, 95% CI [1.09, 1.65], p = .005). Analyses showed no significant interaction between sex and UOCR for any endpoints. UACR was not significantly associated with DD, but the associations with intima media thickness and plaque were of magnitudes comparable to those observed for UOCR. Conclusions. UOCR was positively associated with subclinical CVD. We need prospective studies to confirm whether UOCR is a clinically useful biomarker and to study possible sex differences.","PeriodicalId":21383,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Cardiovascular Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49240189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To evaluate the impact of sex on treatment and survival after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Iceland. Methods. A retrospective, nationwide cohort study of patients with STEMI (2008–2018) and NSTEMI (2013–2018) and obstructive coronary artery disease. Patient and procedural information were obtained from a registry and electronic health records. Survival was estimated with Kaplan–Meier method and Cox regression analysis used to identify risk factors for long-term mortality. Excess mortality from the AMI episode was estimated by comparing the survival with age- and sex-matched population in Iceland at 30-day interval. Results. A total of 1345 STEMI-patients (24% women) and 1249 NSTEMI-patients (24% women) were evaluated. Women with STEMI (mean age: 71 ± 11 vs. 67 ± 12) and NSTEMI (mean age: 69 ± 13 vs. 62 ± 12) were older and less likely to have previous cardiovascular disease. There was neither sex difference in the extent of coronary artery disease nor treatment. Although crude one-year post-STEMI survival was lower for women (88.7% vs. 93.4%, p = .006), female sex was not an independent risk factor after adjusting for age and co-morbidities after STEMI and was protective for NSTEMI (HR 0.67, 95% CI: 0.46–0.97). There was excess 30-day mortality in both STEMI and NSTEMI for women compared with sex-, age- and inclusion year-matched Icelandic population, but thereafter the mortality rate was similar. Conclusion. Women and men with AMI in Iceland receive comparable treatment including revascularization and long-term survival appears similar. Prognosis after NSTEMI is better in women, whereas higher early mortality after STEMI may be caused by delays in presentation and diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":21383,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Cardiovascular Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46007329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Composite frozen elephant trunk is an increasingly popular solution for complex aortic pathologies. This review aims to compare outcomes of zone 0 type II hybrid (hybrid II) with the composite frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique in managing acute Stanford type A aortic dissections. Methods. PubMed and Embase were systematically searched using PRISMA protocol. 11 relevant studies describing the outcomes of hybrid II arch repair and FET techniques in patients with type A aortic dissection were included in the meta-analysis. The study focused on early post-operative 30-day outcomes analysing mortality, stroke, spinal cord injury, renal impairment requiring dialysis, bleeding and lung infection. Results. 1305 patients were included in the analysis – 343 receiving hybrid II repair and 962 treated with the FET. Meta-analysis of proportions showed Hybrid II was associated with less early mortality [5.0 (CI 3.1–7.8) vs 8.1 (CI 6.5–10.0) %], stroke [2.3 (CI 1.1–4.6) vs 7.0 (CI 5.5–8.8) %], spinal cord injury [2.0 (CI 0.9–4.3) vs 3.8 (CI 2.8–5.3) %], renal impairment requiring dialysis [7.9 (CI 5.5–11.2) vs 11.8 (CI 9.8–14.0) %], reoperation for bleeding [3.9 (CI 1.8–8.4) vs 10.6 (CI 8.1–13.8) %] and lung infection [14.8 (CI 10.8–20.0) vs 20.7 (CI 16.9–25.1) %].

The inflammatory response after OHCA has been associated with increased mortality. This study investigates the associations and predictive value between inflammatory markers and outcome in resuscitated OHCA patients.

Blood was analyzed for levels of inflammatory markers the day following admission. Primary endpoint was time to death for up to 180 days. Secondary endpoints included 180-day mortality and poor neurological outcome after 180 days, defined as a cerebral performance category (CPC) of 3 to 5. Results Among 110 included patients we found significant associations between higher leucocyte quartile and increasing mortality in univariable analysis (OR 2.6 (95%CI 1.6–4.2), p < .001), as well as in multivariable analysis (OR 2.1 (95%CI 1.1–4.0), p = .02).

The safety and effectiveness of the Trifecta GT bioprosthesis (introduced in 2016) in less invasive aortic valve replacement are scarcely investigated. Our aim was to evaluate the immediate and initial follow-up results of this device in the context of less invasive surgery. We discuss patient-specific strategies for the selection of the surgical approach. Methods. A retrospective review of 133 patients undergoing AVR with the Trifecta GT through three less invasive accesses (UMS, Upper ministernotomy; RMS, Reversed ministernotomy; RAMT, Right anterior minithoracotomy) was performed. In-hospital, follow-up and hemodynamic performance (PPM, Patient-prosthesis mismatch) data were collected. Results. Among patients, 79% received UMS, 11% RMS and 10% RAMT. Selection of approach was based on preoperative anatomical analysis (CT-scan) and planned concomitant procedures. There was no operative mortality, no valve-related adverse events. There were 36 concomitant procedures. No significant intergroup differences occurred in cardiopulmonary bypass, aortic clamp, mechanical ventilation time, ICU stay and average bleeding. There were two cases of moderate PPM (1.5%) and no instances of severe PPM; there were no significant (≥2/4) perivalvular leaks. Average mean gradient at discharge was 8 ± 3 mmHg. At follow-up (average: 2.5 ± 0.9 years, 100% complete, 315 patient years) there was no mortality and no valve-related adverse event. Hemodynamic performance was maintained at follow-up. Conclusions. The optimal device for less invasive AVR needs to be individualized, as well as the selection of the surgical approach. The use of the Trifecta GT bioprosthesis appears to be reproductible whatever less invasive approach is employed, with confirmed excellent hemodynamic performance.","PeriodicalId":21383,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Cardiovascular Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48877140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lower extremity atherosclerotic disease (LEAD) diagnosis is largely based on ankle-brachial index (ABI) recordings. Equipment that could automatically determine ABI may facilitate LEAD identification within a broad range of health services. We aimed to test the measurement properties of an automated oscillometric ABI measurement device (MESI ABPI MD®) as compared to manual reference ABI measurements in patients with and without LEAD. Design. A total of 153 patients with and without LEAD visiting a vascular surgery clinic underwent manual and automated ABI measurements. In total, 306 limbs were investigated. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated to assess the automated ABI device overall validity, with the manual method as reference. Correlation analysis (Spearman) was used to assess patterns of correlation between measurement methods while Bland–Altman plots were used to quantify measurement agreement. Results. Sensitivity and specificity for the automated ABI device were 75 and 67% whereas PPV and NPV were 72 and 71%, respectively. The correlation coefficient (automated versus manual measurements) was r = 0.552, p < .01. Bland-Altman plots revealed proportional bias and a tendency by the automated device to overestimate lower ABI values and underestimate higher ABI values. The best agreement between automated and manual ABI recordings was observed within the normal ABI range. Conclusions. The ABPI MD® device performance was unfavorable. The automated device tended to overestimate lower ABI values while underestimating higher values, which may lead to underdiagnosis of LEAD. Our data do not support the use of this automated ABI measurement device in clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":21383,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Cardiovascular Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49626235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
