Myocardial ischemia in patients with mild-to-moderate aortic stenosis: Interaction with cardiac remodeling and adverse events
Background
The association between aortic valve stenosis (AVS) and myocardial perfusion abnormalities has been incompletely characterized. We sought to assess the predictors of myocardial ischemia in patients with mild-to-moderate AVS, and its relationship with long-term prognosis.
Methods
Eighty-nine patients with mild-to-moderate AVS (peak velocity between 2.6 and 4.0 m/second and aortic valve area > .6 cm2/m2), preserved left ventricular (LV) function, and either normal coronary arteries (28 patients) or non-obstructive coronary artery disease (<50% stenosis; 61 patients) were individuated. Myocardial perfusion imaging was performed using a cadmium–zinc–telluride camera, and the summed difference score (SDS) was computed. The presence of either LV hypertrophy (LVH) (LV mass index [LVMI] > 115 g/m2 [males] or 95 g/m2 [females]) or concentric LV remodeling (relative wall thickness: >.42) was determined at two-dimensional echocardiography.
Results
Forty (45%) and 49 (55%) patients had mild and moderate AVS, respectively. Fifty (56%), 17 (19%), and 22 (25%) patients had normal LV geometry, concentric LV remodeling, and LVH, respectively. An interaction between LV remodeling and inducible ischemia was revealed with progressively higher values of SDS in patients with normal LV geometry (3 ± 3), concentric remodeling (4 ± 2), and LVH (7 ± 2) (P < .001).
Accordingly, a moderate correlation existed between LVMI and SDS values (R: .67; P < .001). After a median follow-up of 84 ± 47 months, 27 adverse events were recorded, including 19 AV replacements and 8 deaths. On multivariable analysis, the presence of LVH (hazard ratio [HR]: 6.46; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.09–20.00; P = .001) and a higher SDS (HR: 1.41; 95% CI: 1.15–1.75; P = .001) were the two independent predictors of AE.
Conclusions
In patients with mild-to-moderate AVS, myocardial ischemia correlates with the severity of adverse LV remodeling. Patients with LVH and ischemia are at increased risk of AE.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Nuclear Cardiology is the only journal in the world devoted to this dynamic and growing subspecialty. Physicians and technologists value the Journal not only for its peer-reviewed articles, but also for its timely discussions about the current and future role of nuclear cardiology. Original articles address all aspects of nuclear cardiology, including interpretation, diagnosis, imaging equipment, and use of radiopharmaceuticals. As the official publication of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, the Journal also brings readers the latest information emerging from the Society''s task forces and publishes guidelines and position papers as they are adopted.
