TAPSE/sPAP prognostic value for In-Hospital Adverse Events in Patients Hospitalized for Acute Coronary Syndrome.
European Heart Journal Cardiovascular Imaging 2024 April 24
AIMS: Although several studies have shown that the right ventricular to pulmonary artery (RV-PA) coupling, assessed by the ratio between tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion and systolic pulmonary artery pressure (TAPSE/sPAP) using echocardiography, is strongly associated with cardiovascular events, its prognostic value is not established in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We aimed to assess the in-hospital prognostic value of TAPSE/sPAP among patients hospitalized for ACS in a retrospective analysis from the prospective ADDICT-ICCU study.
METHODS AND RESULTS: 481 consecutive patients hospitalized in intensive cardiac care unit (mean age 65±13 years, 73% of male, 46% STEMI) for ACS (either ST-elevation [STEMI] or non-ST-elevation [NSTEMI] myocardial infarction) with TAPSE/sPAP available were included in this prospective French multicentric study (39 centers). The primary outcome was in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) defined as all-cause death, resuscitated cardiac arrest or cardiogenic shock and occurred in 33 (7%) patients. ROC-curve analysis identified 0.55 mm/mmHg as the best TAPSE/sPAP cut-off to predict in-hospital MACEs. TAPSE/sPAP <0.55 was associated with in-hospital MACEs, even after adjustment with comorbidities (OR:19.1, 95%CI[7.78-54.8]), clinical severity including left ventricular ejection fraction (OR:14.4, 95%CI[5.70-41.7]) and propensity-matched population analysis (OR:22.8, 95%CI[7.83-97.2], all p<0.001). After adjustment, TAPSE/sPAP <0.55 showed the best improvement in model discrimination and reclassification above traditional prognosticators (C-statistic improvement: 0.16; global chi-square improvement: 52.8; LR-test p<0.001) with similar results for both STEMI and NSTEMI subgroups.
CONCLUSION: A low RV-PA coupling defined as TAPSE/sPAP ratio <0.55 was independently associated with in-hospital MACEs and provided incremental prognostic value over traditional prognosticators in patients hospitalized for ACS.
