Abstract:

Objective

To explore the predictors for cardiac structural and functional reversal after pharmacological treatment in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.

Methods

A total of 156 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy admitted to Xuzhou Central Hospital from August 2016 to April 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. According to their clinical outcomes and different reactivity of echocardiographic findings after treatment, 156 patients were divided into a left ventricular reverse remodeling (LVRR) group (n=27) and a non-LVRR group (n=129). The age, sex, body mass index, course of disease, systolic blood pressure, New York Heart Association grade, hypertension, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker, β receptor blocker, spironolactone, complete left bundle branch block, QRS wave time limit, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular end-diastolic dimension, left ventricular end-systolic volume index, 6-min walk test, medication compliance, 6-month rehospitalization rate and 6-month mortality rate were recorded for all patients. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze factors related to LVRR in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate predictive value of QRS wave time limit and medication compliance in LVRR.

Results

Compared with the non-LVRR group, the age [(54±16) years vs. (60 ± 12) years, t=5.899, P=0.021] and QRS wave time limit [(104 ± 21) ms vs. (122 ± 29) ms, t=10.464, P=0.003] were significantly lower and the medication compliance [(6.0 ± 1.0) vs. (5.3 ± 1.5), t=8.962, P=0.002] was significantly higher in the LVRR group. The multivariate Logistic regression showed that the QRS wave time limit [odds ratio (OR)=0.969, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.946, 0.993), P=0.011] and medication compliance [OR=1.541, 95%CI (1.064, 2.230), P=0.022] were independent factors affecting the return to normal cardiac function. The ROC curve showed that the QRS wave time limit [area under the curve (AUC)=0.721, 95%CI (0.619, 0.824), P < 0.001] and medication compliance [AUC=0.661, 95%CI (0.559, 0.762), P < 0.009] both have predictive value for LVRR in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.

Conclusion

QRS wave time limit and medication compliance are important predictors for LVRR in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.
