Title:
Relationship of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure with extent of myocardial ischemia, myocardial salvage and long-term outcome in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
Abstract:
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to assess the association of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) with myocardial salvage and long-term mortality in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). BACKGROUND: The association of LVEDP with myocardial salvage or long-term mortality in patients with STEMI has not been investigated. METHODS: This study included 1,312 patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI between 2002 and 2007. LVEDP was measured at the time of intervention. Patients were divided into three groups: a group with LVEDP in the 1st tertile (LVEDP, 4-19 mmHg; n = 496), a group with LVEDP in the 2nd tertile (LVEDP >19-24 mmHg; n = 410) and a group with LVEDP in the 3rd tertile (LVEDP >24-45 mmHg; n = 406). The primary outcome was 8-year cardiac mortality. RESULTS: The primary outcome (cardiac deaths) occurred in 114 patients. Deaths occurred in 26 (7.9%), 36 (11.5%), and 52 (16.4%) patients with LVEDP in the 1st to 3rd tertiles, respectively (adjusted hazard ratio = 1.18, 95% confidence interval 1.02-1.36, P = 0.022, for 5 mmHg increment in the LVEDP values). LVEDP correlated with the extent of myocardial ischemia (R = 0.351; P < 0.001). In patients with LVEDP in the 1st to 3rd tertiles, the salvage index (proportion of initial area at risk salvaged) was 0.53 [0.27-0.84], 0.53 [0.28-0.80], and 0.43 [0.18-0.75], respectively (P = 0.012). After adjustment, LVEDP correlated inversely with myocardial salvage (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with STEMI, elevated LVEDP correlated with the extent of myocardial ischemia, reduced myocardial salvage and increased risk of 8-year cardiac mortality.
