{"title":"Beta blockers, digoxin or both following an incident diagnosis of atrial fibrillation; a prospective cohort study","authors":"J. Brophy, L. Nadeau","doi":"10.1101/2023.05.18.23290189","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.05.18.23290189","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common arrhythmias but the optimal drug choice for a rate control strategy remains uncertain. In particular, controversy and uncertainty exists regarding the safety of digoxin in this context. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort claims database study of patients with an incident hospital discharge diagnosis of atrial fibrillation between 2011 and 2015. The exposure variables were a discharge prescription for beta blockers, digoxin or both. The primary outcome was a composite of total in-hospital mortality or a repeat cardiovascular (CV) hospitalization. Secondary outcomes were the individual components of the primary outcome. Baseline confounding was controlled with propensity score inverse probability weighting using a entropy balancing algorithm and the prespecified estimand was the average treatment effect among the treated. In sensitivity analyses, baseline covariate imbalances were adjusted using a maximum likelihood algorithm and an overall average treatment effect estimand. Treatment effects for the weighted samples were calculated from a Cox proportional hazards model. Results: 12,723 patients were discharged on beta blockers alone, 406 on digoxin alone, and 1,499 discharged on combined beta blocker / digoxin therapy with a median follow-up time of 356 days. In the unadjusted analyses, the primary outcome occured most frequently in the combined exposure group (15.5%) compared to the isolated digoxin (13.3%) and beta blocker (11.5%) groups (p < 0.001 for trend). There were more CV hospitalizations in the combined beta blocker / digoxin group (14.4%) compared to the BB (10.7%) or digoxin (10.6%) groups (p = 0.006 for trend). There were more deaths in the digoxin group (2.7%) and the combined group (1.1%) groups compared to the BB alone group (0.8%) (p < 0.001 for trend). However, after baseline covariate adjustment, the digoxin alone (hazard ratio (HR) 1.24, 95% CI 0.85 - 1.81) and the combined group (HR 1.09, 95% CI 0.90 - 1.31) were not associated with increased risk for the composite endpoint compared with the beta blocker alone group. These results were robust to sensitivity analyses. Conclusion: After accounting for baseline imbalances, patients hospitalized for incident atrial fibrillation and discharged on digoxin alone or the combination of digoxin and a beta blocker were not associated with an increase in the composite outcome of recurrent CV hospitalizations and death compared to those discharged on isolated beta blocker therapy. However, additional studies are required to refine the precision of these estimates.","PeriodicalId":425026,"journal":{"name":"The Canadian journal of cardiology","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130833135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lettre","doi":"10.1101/2023.03.13.23287209","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.03.13.23287209","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Hypertension, clinically defined by elevated blood pressure (BP), is an important cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Many risk factors for hypertension are known, including a positive family history, which suggests that genetics contribute to inter-individual BP variation. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified >1000 loci associated with BP, yet the identity of the genes responsible for these associations remains largely unknown. Methods: To pinpoint genes that causally impact BP variation in humans, we analyzed predicted loss-of-function (pLoF) variants in the UK Biobank whole-exome sequencing dataset (n=454,709 participants, 6% non-European ancestry). We analyzed genetic associations between systolic or diastolic BP (SBP/DBP) and single pLoF variants (additive and recessive genetic models) as well as with the burden of very rare pLoF variants (minor allele frequency [MAF] <0.01%). Results: Single pLoF variants in ten genes associated with BP (ANKDD1B, ENPEP, PNCK, BTN3A2, C1orf145 [OBSCN-AS1], CASP9, DBH, KIAA1161 [MYORG], OR4X1, and TMC3). We also found a burden of rare pLoF variants in five additional genes associated with BP (TTN, NOS3, FES, SMAD6, COL21A1). Except for PNCK, which is located on the X-chromosome, these genes map near variants previously associated with BP by GWAS, validating the study of pLoF variants to prioritize causal genes at GWAS loci. Conclusions: Our study highlights 15 genes that likely modulate BP in humans, including five genes that harbor pLoF variants associated with lower BP.","PeriodicalId":425026,"journal":{"name":"The Canadian journal of cardiology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131319188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
