Left ventricular ejection fraction and mortality in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction and bundle branch block.
CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE(2017)
摘要
Background The aim of our study is to assess the effect of bundle branch block (BBB) on mortality and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients treated in the current era of percutaneous reperfusion therapy. Patients and methods In this retrospective cohort study, a total of 1123 STEMI patients treated in the University Medical Center Groningen from January 2011 until May 2013 were included. The follow-up duration was 2-4 years. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed within 2 weeks after STEMI. Results In total, 23 (2.0%) patients presented with left BBB and 49 (4.4%) patients presented with right BBB. Two-year mortality after STEMI was 25.0% (n=18) in patients with BBB and 9.2% (n=97, P<0.001) in patients without BBB. Patients with BBB had more frequently a severely reduced LVEF (<30%) [20.0% (n=6) compared with 4.2% (n=21), P=0.002] and less frequently a normal LVEF [16.7% (n=5) compared with 35.7% (n=179), P=0.046]. After multivariable analysis, BBB did not remain an independent predictor of mortality, but was an independent predictor of reduced LVEF. Conclusion The presence of a BBB was an independent predictor of a reduced LVEF. However, we found no effect of BBB on 2-year mortality in the current era of percutaneous reperfusion therapy.
