Abstract
Aim To evaluate the diagnostic significance of clinical and demographic parameters for predicting a 2-year probability of ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VT) in patients with chronic heart failure and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (CHFrLVEF).Material and methods This single-center, prospective cohort study included 175 patients with CHFrLVEF who were implanted with a cardioverter defibrillator (CD). The endpoint was a CD-detected episode of VT. Patients were followed up for 2 years with visits at 3, 12, and 24 months after CD implantation.Results The primary endpoint was observed in 43 (24.4 %) patients at an average of 20.9 months (95 % confidence interval (CI), 20-21.9). The 2-year risk of fatal ventricular arrhythmias increased with detection of unstable VT (one-factor analysis, odds ratio (OR), 4.2; 95 % CI, 1.1-16.5; р=0.041; multifactor analysis, OR, 6.3; 95 % CI, 1.5-26.3; р=0.012) and with ischemic CHFrLVEF origin (one-factor analysis, OR, 2.2; 95 % CI, 1.1-4.5; p=0.021; multifactor analysis, OR, 2.5; 95 % CI, 1.2-5.1; р=0.018). In the presence of any type of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with non-ischemic CHFrLVEF, the probability of VT increased threefold (one-factor analysis, OR, 2.97; 95 % CI...Continue Reading
