Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1, Page A4141272-A4141272, November 12, 2024. Aims:This study aimed to analyze two decades of consecutive mortality data to investigate the association between cancer and cancer with heart failure across the United States (US), discerning patterns and disparities in mortality rates.Methods:Data were obtained from the multiple cause of death files using CDC WONDER spanning 1999 to 2020; ICD-10 codes were used to identify cancer and cancer with heart failure related deaths in adults aged ≥25. Demographic and regional distributions of mortality were analyzed. Joinpoint regression analysis was used to determine trends in age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMR) to estimate annual percentage changes (APC).Results:Between 1999 and 2020, 14,309,991 cancer-related deaths occurred in the US out of which 612,346 were associated with cancer and heart failure. The overall AAMR per 100,000 for cancer-related deaths decreased from 353.9 in 1999 to 260.9 in 2020 characterized by an annual percentage change (APC) of -1.60 spanning from 1999 to 2018, and an APC of 0.58 thereafter till 2020. AAMR per 100,000 for heart failure and cancer-related deaths decreased from 16.1 to 14.0, with varied APCs, declining from 1999 to 2013, reaching a minimum AAMR of 11 followed by a rise from 2013 to 2020. For cancer related only, men accounted for 52.7% of deaths, compared to 47.3% for women. Similarly, cancer with heart failure had mortality higher in males. Non-Hispanic (NH) White and Hispanic populations had the highest AAMRs for cancer related mortality while NH White and NH American Indian or Alaskan Native had the highest mortality in cancer with heart failure. Regional differences were observed, with the most cancer-related deaths observed in the South while the most cancer with heart failure related deaths occurred in the Midwest. State-wise stratification further supported the difference.Conclusions:Cancer-related mortality is decreasing while cancer with heart failure related mortality is increasing following initial decline. The highest AAMRs were observed for cancer related mortality among NH White population, men, people living in the South; and non-metropolitan US while cancer with heart failure had highest mortality in NH White population, men, people living in Midwest; and non-metropolitan areas. The findings underscore the need for focused interventions aimed at reducing mortality related to cancer and cancer with heart failure, particularly among vulnerable populations.

Abstract 4146635: Title: Socioeconomic and gender disparities in Stroke-related Mortality among Older Adults with Malignancy in the US from 1999 to 2020: CDC WONDER database analysis.
Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1, Page A4146635-A4146635, November 12, 2024. Background:Stroke in malignancy is a significant cause of mortality among older adults. This study analyzes demographic trends and disparities in mortality rates due to stroke in malignancy among adults aged 65 and older from 1999 to 2020.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted using CDC WONDER death certificate data from 1999 to 2020. Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) were calculated per 100,000 persons stratified by year, sex, race/ethnicity, and geographical regions. Trends were assessed using Average Annual Percentage Change (AAPC) and annual percent change (APC).Results:Between 1999 and 2020, Stroke in Malignancy resulted in 198,659 deaths among adults (≥65 years) in the United States. Fatalities occurred predominantly in medical facilities (36.5%), followed by nursing homes (29.3%), and at decedents’ homes (24.2%). The overall age-adjusted mortality rate (AAMR) for Stroke in Malignancy-related deaths decreased from 32.8 in 1999 to 16.5 in 2020, with an Average Annual Percentage Change (AAPC) of -3.35 (p-value < 0.000001). Notably, there was a significant decline in AAMR from 1999 to 2018 (APC: -4.23, p-value < 0.000001), followed by a notable increase from 2018 to 2020 (APC: 5.33, p-value = 0.025595). Both men and women showed decreased AAMRs, with men having higher rates (men: 28.1; women: 17.5). AAMRs varied among racial/ethnic groups, with Black/African Americans having the highest AAMR (31.0), followed by Whites (21.8), American/Alaska Natives (18.6), Asian/Pacific Islanders (12.9), and Hispanics (12.5). AAMRs decreased across all races, with the most significant decline observed in Asians (AAPC: -4.62, p-value < 0.000001). Geographically, AAMRs varied among states, ranging from 11.0 in Arizona to 33.7 in Mississippi. Across regions, the Midwestern region had the highest mortality (AAMR: 23.4), with nonmetropolitan areas exhibiting slightly higher AAMRs (AAMR: 25.9). Both metropolitan and nonmetropolitan regions experienced decreased AAMRs over the study period (p-value < 0.000001).Conclusion:The analysis reveals substantial demographic disparities in mortality rates attributed to Stroke in malignancy among older adults. While the overall decline in mortality rates indicates progress, the concerning upsurge in recent years necessitates proactive measures. Addressing these disparities through targeted interventions and equitable healthcare access is imperative to optimize outcomes for this at-risk population.
Abstract 4139724: Heart Transplant in Geriatric Population from 2000 to 2023: UNOS Database Study
Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1, Page A4139724-A4139724, November 12, 2024. Background:Advancements in heart transplant has expanded boundaries to greater range of patients to receive transplant. Despite concerns of increased morbidity and mortality, data from previous studies showed selected patients 70 years or older who underwent heart transplant had similar morbidity and mortality compared to younger patients. With growing population age and increase in technology, transplant candidacy is expanded to selected robust geriatric patients.Objective(s):Determine change in the number of transplant cases and the percent from total yearly cardiac transplant in geriatric populationMethod:Heart transplant recipients of all ages from 2000 to 2023 were identified in the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) database and stratified into different age groups. Primary outcomes of interest included number of heart transplant cases and percentage from total yearly transplant.Results:In total, we identified 66,079 heart transplant recipients from 2000 to 2023. Among these patients, 9,964 (12.40%) were patients aged 65 above and 28,554 (45.50%) were 50-64 years old (figure 1A). There was an overall increase in the number of heart transplants from 2000 to 2023, 2,199 to 4,545 cases per year, respectively. There was an increase in the number of heart transplants in the geriatric population from 216 to 841 (figure 1B). From 2000 to 2013, there was an increase in the percent of transplant recipients in patients 65 years and older from 9.80% to 17.60%, after which remained stable (figure 1C). There was a relative decrease in proportion of patients 50-64 years from 2000 to 2014, from 51.10% to 42.80%, respectively. The number of cardiac transplants among 50-64 year old group from 2000 to 2008 decreased from 1,123 to 920 then increased again by 2014.Conclusion:There has been a significant increase in the total number of heart transplants from 2000 to 2023. Currently, heart transplants in geriatric population consist of a significant portion of total heart transplants close to 1 of 5 transplants that occur per year (18% to 19%). This number has grown from 9.80% (2000) to 18.50% (2023) among all heart transplants per year.
Abstract 4129533: Phenotypes and clinical outcome of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients in China: Findings from the Chinese Cardiovascular Association Database-Heart Failure Center Registry
Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1, Page A4129533-A4129533, November 12, 2024. Background:Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a heterogenous syndrome with 5 phenotypes. We aimed to evaluate the clinical outcome of HFpEF patients with various phenotypes in China.Methods and Results:Data from the Chinese Cardiovascular Association (CCA) Database-HF Center Registry between January 2017 and December 2021 were analyzed, 51,466 hospitalized HFpEF patients with 1-year follow-up results were included in this analysis. The patients were categorized into five phenotypes based on published phenotyping method. Clinical characteristics and 1-year outcome and related risk factors of HFpEF patients with various phenotypes were explored. Results demonstrated significant differences in baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes among the phenotypes, patients with phenotype-3 (right heart and pulmonary-related HFpEF), phenotype-4 (valvular- and rhythm-related HFpEF) and phenotype-5 (extracardiac disease-related HFpEF) exhibited high incidence of adverse outcomes. Phenotype-3 and -4 exhibited high risk of heart failure rehospitalization, whereas phenotype-5 showed high cardiovascular mortality. The independent prognostic risk factors varied across different phenotypes as well.Conclusion:One-year outcome differs among HFpEF patients with various phenotyping. Future studies are warranted to validate if personalized treatment strategies based on HFpEF phenotypes could improve the individual outcome of HFpEF patients, especially for phenotype-3, -4 and -5 HFpEF patients.Keywords:Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, phenotype, prognosis, population study, risk factors.
Abstract 4147416: Racial Disparities in Periprocedural Outcomes and Mortality in Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation Among Congestive Heart Failure Patients in the United States: An Analysis from the National Inpatient Sample Database
Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1, Page A4147416-A4147416, November 12, 2024. Background:Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and congestive heart failure (CHF) are intertwined disorders that contribute to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Arrhythmia burden is a key prognostic factor in patients with AF and CHF. Numerous studies have suggested that catheter ablation outperforms conventional therapies in improving clinical outcomes for these patients. This study aims to evaluate the racial disparities affecting periprocedural outcomes and mortality in CHF patients undergoing AF ablation.Methods:We searched the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) data from 2016 to 2021 using ICD-10 and ICD-10-PCS9 codes to look for patients with CHF who underwent ablation for AF and stratified the data on the basis of race, particularly African American(AA) and White American (WA) population. We used the Pearson Chi-Square test to analyze categorical variables and the Wilcoxon Rank Sum test for continuous variables to evaluate racial disparities in the periprocedural outcomes in patients undergoing ablation. Additionally, we also used a multivariate logistic regression analysis to compute adjusted odds ratios (aORs) for outcomes.Results:After analyzing NIS data from 2016 to 2021, among 7,803,487 patients admitted for AF and CHF, only 94,245 underwent ablation. Among those who underwent ablation, AA were admitted and received ablation at a younger age compared to WA (63.89 years versus 71.48 years). We found that AA patients experienced higher rates of HF exacerbation (91% vs 88.9%, p:0.006, ), cardiogenic shock (7.8% vs 5.6%, p
Abstract 4134692: In-Hospital Mortality Rate and Predictors of 30-Day Readmission in Cancer Patients with MI Undergoing PCI -A Cross Sectional Study From Nationwide Readmission Database
Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1, Page A4134692-A4134692, November 12, 2024. Background and objectives:Data regarding readmission rates and predictors of readmission in cancer patients undergoing PCI are sparce. With the increasing survival rates and prevalence of cardiovascular complications in cancer patients, understanding the patterns and predictors of readmission in this population is paramount for optimizing their outcomes. Cancer patients pose unique clinical challenges due to their combined prothrombotic state and propensity for bleeding. We attempted to identify factors associated with readmission in cancer patients.Methods:We utilized the Nationwide Readmission Database from 2016 to 2020 and included patients more than 18 years of age with primary diagnosis of myocardial infarction(MI) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) and have a preexisting diagnosis of cancer. We used International Classification of Disease, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD10 CM) codes to define MI, PCI, and cancer. The primary outcome was the 30-day readmission rate, and secondary outcomes were mortality rates, predictors of readmission, and common causes of readmission. The independent predictors of readmission were analyzed using cox regression analysis.Results:Of the 52,307 cancer patients who underwent PCI, 7,767 were readmitted within a 30-day period. The readmission rate for these patients was 15.70%. The mortality rate was 6.05% for index admission and 6.80% for readmitted cases. Among the readmitted patients in the strongest independent predictor for readmission were leaving against medical advice(AMA), anemia, congestive heart failure, and discharge to a skilled nursing facility or home health. Common causes of readmission within this time included hypertensive heart disease with concomitant CKD stage I-IV and heart failure (6.21%), sepsis (6.12%), NSTEMI (5.60%), hypertensive heart disease with concomitant heart failure (4.62%) and acute kidney injury (1.98%).Conclusions:Thirty-day readmission rate was 15.70%. Independent predictors of readmission were anemia, diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, malnutrition, peripheral artery disease, leaving against medical advice, and discharge to facility. Most common cause of readmission was hypertensive heart and kidney disease with heart failure, which comprised 6.21%.
Abstract 4140549: Association of Liver Stiffness measured by Transient Elastography with All-Cause Mortality in Heart Failure patients: Trinetx Database 2015-2023
Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1, Page A4140549-A4140549, November 12, 2024. Introduction:Persistently elevated filling pressure leading to central venous congestion is associated with poor prognosis. This central venous congestion stimulates connective tissue hyperplasia causing tissue fibrosis and stiffness of the liver. However, risk stratification involving hepatic fibrosis in heart failure is limited.Research Question:Is liver stiffness associated with higher mortality in heart failure?Aims:To utilize liver stiffness measured by transient elastography as an imaging phenotype in HF risk stratification and prevention.Methods:De-identified data from 285 HF patients without pre-existing liver disease/cirrhosis, with liver stiffness measured (kPa) by transient elastography from 2015-2023 were extracted from TriNetX, a real-time, electronic, federated data network of 34 healthcare organizations. Liver stiffness was further classified as high and low with 8kPa as a cut-off. Comparisons employed the chi-square or Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables and the student’s t-test or Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test, as appropriate. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were applied to evaluate the association with mortality and readmissions in 30 days.Results:The mean age of the cohort is 65±11 years. The majority were women (57.9%). Participants were followed for a median of 3.8 (1.52-6.67) years; 83 out of 285 patients died. Multivariable analysis showed that 1 SD increase in liver stiffness was associated with increased mortality (HR 1.13, 95% CI 1.05-1.21; p
Abstract 4134922: Trends in Coronary Artery Disease-Related Mortality in Adults with Hyperlipidemia in the United States: A CDC WONDER Database Analysis
Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1, Page A4134922-A4134922, November 12, 2024. Background:Coronary artery disease (CAD), related to high blood lipid levels, is a significant contributor to adult mortality in the United States. This study examines the patterns of CAD-related deaths associated with high lipid levels in adults aged 25 and above, with a specific focus on variations related to geography, gender, and race/ethnicity from 1999 to 2020.Methods:This study employed a comprehensive retrospective analysis using death certificate data from the CDC WONDER database, covering 21 years from 1999 to 2020. We calculated age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs), annual percent change (APC), and average annual percentage change (AAPC) per 100,000 persons, categorized by year, gender, race/ethnicity, and geographic regions. This approach ensured a robust and reliable analysis of the trends in CAD-related deaths associated with high lipid levels.Results:Between 1999 and 2020, CAD in individuals with high levels of lipids resulted in 407,667 deaths among adults aged 25 and above in the United States. The majority of these deaths occurred in medical facilities (40.1%) and at home (37.3%). The AAMR for CAD in individuals with high lipid levels increased from 4.1 in 1999 to 12.1 in 2020, showing an AAPC of 4.44 (95% CI: 3.69 to 5.48, p < 0.000001). Men had a higher AAMR (12.4) than women (5.6), and both sexes experienced significant increases over time. Disparities in AAMRs by race/ethnicity revealed the highest rates among Whites (8.9), followed by American Indians/Alaska Natives (8.6), Blacks (7.3), Hispanics (6.5), and Asians/Pacific Islanders (5.9). The most significant increase was observed in Blacks (AAPC: 5.07, p < 0.000001). This detailed breakdown of the disparities in CAD mortality rates among different racial and ethnic groups provides a clear picture of the health inequalities that need to be addressed.Conclusion:This study emphasizes the discrepancies in CAD mortality related to high lipid levels among adults in the United States based on race, gender, and geographic location. The consistent rise in AAMRs between 1999 and 2020 emphasizes the necessity for specific public health interventions to tackle these increasing inequalities.
Abstract 4147410: Impact of HIV on In-Hospital Outcomes in STEMI Patients: A Propensity-Matched Analysis from the NIS Database
Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1, Page A4147410-A4147410, November 12, 2024. Introduction:Advancements in antiretroviral therapy (ART) have significantly increased the lifespan of patients living with HIV over the past decade. Studies have shown higher mortality and morbidity rates following acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in HIV patients, attributed to traditional cardiac risk factors, psychosomatic illness, metabolic effects of ART, and chronic immune activation caused by HIV.Hypothesis:We hypothesized that HIV patients presenting with ACS in the form of STEMI would have poorer in-hospital clinical outcomes compared to patients without HIV.Aims:We hypothesized that HIV patients presenting with ACS in the form of STEMI would have poorer in-hospital clinical outcomes compared to patients without HIV.Methods:We queried the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) Database from 2015-2019 using ICD-10 codes to identify STEMI patients with and without HIV. Propensity matching adjusted for confounders. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality; secondary outcomes included major bleeding, the need for mechanical circulatory support (MCS), and net adverse clinical events (NACE). STATA was used for statistical analysis.Results:A total of 581,859 patients were included in the analysis. Baseline comorbidities are listed in Table 1. STEMI patients with HIV were younger (54±12 vs 63±18 years) and had higher rates of liver disease, renal failure, depression, polysubstance abuse, and a history of MI. After propensity matching, in-hospital mortality was similar between both subgroups (Table 2). No significant differences were found between the subgroups in NACE, need for MCS, and major bleeding.Conclusion:Despite being a strong risk factor for CAD, the presence of HIV did not influence in-hospital clinical outcomes in patients presenting with STEMI. This may reflect improved ACS protocols, advancements in ART, and a younger patient cohort. Additional studies are needed to further validate these findings.
Abstract 4140872: Causes of 30-Day Readmissions Following Permanent Pacemaker Implantation in Dialysis-Dependent End-Stage Renal Disease Patients: Analysis of the National Readmission Database 2020
Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1, Page A4140872-A4140872, November 12, 2024. Background:Permanent Pacemaker (PPM) implantation is recognized as a class I indication treatment for patients with high-grade Atrioventricular (AV) blocks, infra-Hisian conduction blocks, and symptomatic sinus node diseases such as sinus bradycardia. There remains a scarcity of data regarding the impact of dialysis-dependent End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) on PPM implantation outcomes, particularly in terms of readmission rates. We aim to evaluate short-term readmissions in dialysis-dependent ESRD patients post-PPM placement, utilizing data from the National Readmission Database (NRD).Methods:The NRD for the year 2020 was used to identify dialysis-dependent ESRD adults who underwent PPM implantation, employing ICD-10 CM and PCS codes. We focused on outcomes including 30-day readmission rates, length of stay (LOS), total hospital charge (THC), and predictors of readmissions. Both multivariate and univariate logistic and linear regression analyses were employed to assess outcomes and adjust for potential confounders.Results:Out of 2,497 dialysis-dependent ESRD patients who underwent PPM implantation, 2,353 were discharged alive. Within 30 days of discharge, 540 (22.9%) patients were readmitted. Those readmitted had a longer LOS and higher comorbidity burden but were similar in age, sex, hospital characteristics, and household income status compared to those not readmitted. Readmissions incurred an additional average THC of $103,599 and an average LOS of 7.3 days. The top five causes of readmissions were hypertensive heart disease with heart failure (11.3%), sepsis (9.9%), fluid overload (2.4%), hypoglycemia without coma in type II diabetes mellitus (2.0%), and non-rheumatic aortic valve stenosis (1.7%).Conclusion:This analysis reveals that 22.9% of dialysis-dependent ESRD patients who underwent PPM implantation were readmitted within 30 days, resulting in extended LOS and increased THC. These readmissions negatively impact patient outcomes and exacerbate the burden on healthcare resources. Optimizing the management plans for this patient group is crucial to enhancing outcomes and using healthcare resources more effectively.
Abstract 4144346: Gender, Racial/Ethnic and Regional Differences in Trends of Stroke-related Mortality in Atrial Fibrillation: a National Database Analysis 1999-2020
Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1, Page A4144346-A4144346, November 12, 2024. Background:Stroke is a leading cause of death globally. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an important modifiable risk factor for stroke. Ascertaining the burden of stroke in AF, its temporal trends and demographic disparities can inform public health policy measures.AimsTo describe national temporal trends of ischemic stroke-related mortality in patients with AF and identify any differences by gender, race, ethnicity, or region.Methods:In this cross-sectional analysis we used death certificate data from the national CDC Wide-Ranging ONline Data for Epidemiologic Research (WONDER) database for adults aged 35-84 years between 1999 and 2020. We queried for both ischemic stroke and AF as contributing or underlying cause of death. Crude and age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMR) were computed for the overall population and stratified by sex, race/ethnicity, geographic region, state, and rural/urban status. Joinpoint Regression Analysis software was used for trend analysis. Average annual percentage change (APC) in AAMR were computed using log-linear regression models.ResultsA total of 32,386 ischemic-stroke related deaths occurred in patients with AF between 1999 and 2020. Overall mortality trends were stable until 2014, sharply rose between 2014 and 2017 (APC 27.6% [95% confidence interval, CI, 18.8-33.4]), slowing down between 2017 and 2020 (APC 2.48 [95% CI, -4.81-7.03]). Overall AAMR per 100,000 was higher in men (1.00 vs 0.86 in women; Figure 1); Non-Hispanic Whites (0.98 versus 0.81 in Non-Hispanic Blacks and 0.70 in Hispanics; Figure 2), individuals in the Western census region (1.07 vs 0.95 in Southern, 0.92 in Midwestern and 0.78 in Northeast regions; Figure 3) and non-metropolitan areas (1.06 versus 0.91 in metropolitan). The rate of increase in AAMR over recent years was significantly greater in Black populations.Conclusion:Stroke mortality in AF rose sharply since 2014. Our findings underscore racial and geographic differences that exist in stroke-related deaths in the US.
Abstract 4142312: 90-Day Readmission Rates, Predictors, and Causes of Readmission After Placement of Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Device in Patients With history of different malignancies: National Readmission Database analysis
Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1, Page A4142312-A4142312, November 12, 2024. Introduction:Patients with cancer have a higher risk for both arterial and venous thromboembolism. Furthermore, this population subset has an increased risk of bleeding when treated with anticoagulation. Left atrial appendage occlusion devices (LAAODs) have emerged as an alternative to oral anticoagulation in patients at high risk for bleeding events. There is a paucity of data regarding the efficacy of LAAODs in cancer patients. In our study, we investigated the readmission rates, predictors, and causes of readmission after LAAODs placement in patients with underlying malignancy.Methods:The National Readmission Database for 2016, 2018, and 2020 was queried to identify hospitalized adults for LAAOD placement with a history of cancer. Multivariate logistic and linear regression analyses were used to adjust for possible confounders.Results:A total of 566 patients were hospitalized for LAAOD placement and had a history of different malignancies with 563 discharged alive. Within 90 days from discharge, 141 patients (25%) were readmitted. Exacerbation of Congestive heart failure (CHF) (7.9%), Sepsis (6.7%), Lower GI bleeding (4.3%), Iron deficiency anemia (3.8%), unspecified gastrointestinal hemorrhage (3.1%), and paroxysmal Atrial fibrillation (2.6 %) were most common causes of readmissions. Independent predictors of readmission included female sex (aOR 1.68, 95% CI: 1.07 – 2.63, P=0.022), acute kidney injury (aOR 4.6, 95% CI: 1.5-8.4, P=0.008), and anemia (aOR 1.71, 95% CI: 1.08-2.7, P=0.023).Conclusion:Predictors of readmission included female sex, anemia, and acute kidney injury during index admission. The most common causes of readmission included Exacerbation of CHF, Sepsis, Lower GI bleeding, and Iron deficiency anemia. Addressing readmission causes and predictors is needed to prevent such a high rate of readmissions after LAAODs placement in cancer patients.
Abstract 4144389: Obstructive Sleep Apnea is Associated with Ablation Failure in Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Patients Only: Insights from a left atrial MRI Database
Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1, Page A4144389-A4144389, November 12, 2024. Background:Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may influence the outcomes of catheter ablation in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, but its impact at different stages of AF is not well understood.Objective:This study aims to evaluate whether OSA influences catheter ablation outcomes differently in patients with paroxysmal AF compared to those with persistent AF.Methods:We included AF patients with and without obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in a late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) MRI database of patients who underwent catheter ablation. Our study population was stratified based on the type of AF: paroxysmal or persistent. Patients were followed for 24 months post-ablation, with a 3-month blanking period. To analyze time-to-AF recurrence, we used Kaplan-Meier curve along with the log-rank test to compare recurrence rates between patients with and without OSA in both AF types. Additionally, we used Cox regression analysis to adjust for potential confounders.Results:324 patients with paroxysmal AF (mean age: 64.5) and 512 patients with persistent AF (mean age: 65.2) were included. The left atrial (LA) volume was similar between OSA and non-OSA patients in both the paroxysmal AF cohort (83.1 mm3 vs. 83.6 mm3; p=0.73) and the persistent AF cohort (115 mm3 vs. 119 mm3; p=0.37). Patients with OSA exhibited a higher prevalence of comorbidities, including congestive heart failure (CHF), coronary artery disease, obesity, and diabetes, compared to non-OSA patients (p
Abstract Sa904: Relationship between time of occurrence and survival of in-hospital cardiac arrests triggered by medical adverse events(Nationwide medical adverse events database in Japan)
Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1, Page ASa904-ASa904, November 12, 2024. Background:The outcome of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) has improved over the past decade, although the survival rate is still approximately 25%. Some cases of IHCA are triggered by medical adverse events, and their outcomes might be different by time when how many staffs is available. But the relationship between the time of occurrence and outcome remains unclear. The aim of this study is to compare the survival outcomes of IHCA at night with those during the daytime using the nationwide medical adverse events database in Japan.Methods:We searched the Japan Council for Quality Health Care nationwide in-hospital adverse events database, which registered 1 million cases per year, from 2010 to 2023. We extracted cases of IHCA and analyzed the cases by time of occurrence, grouping them into day time shift (8am-4pm), midnight shift (4pm-0am), and late night shift (0am-8am). The primary outcome was survival to discharge, and we performed multivariate logistic regression to adjust for age, sex, holiday, cause of medical adverse events, event location, occupation of the involved party, occupational history of the involved party and assignment period of the involved party as potential confounders.Result:A total of 4,252 cases were included during the study period. The most common age group was over 70years old (54.2%, n = 2,303 /4,252). 2,627 patients (61.8%) were male. The number of IHCA per time period was 1949 (45.8%) in the day time shift, 1,349 (31.7%) in the midnight shift and 954 (22.4%) in the late night shift. The most common cause of medical adverse events in all time periods was treatment or procedures. However, the rate of medical care was higher in the late night shift. Regarding the location of the event, the general ward was the most common location at all times. Multivariate logistic regression for survival on discharge yielded an adjusted odds ratio of 1.56 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.30–1.86) ,1.33 (95% CI: 1.11–1.59) for the day time shift and midnight shift compared to the late night shift.Conclusion:Approximately 20% of in-hospital cardiac arrests due to medical adverse events occurred on the late night shift, with poor outcomes.

Abstract 4144399: Impact of Protein-Calorie Malnutrition on Peri-procedural Outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Latest Insights from National Database
Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1, Page A4144399-A4144399, November 12, 2024. Introduction:Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as an effective and less invasive percutaneous treatment option for select patients with severe aortic stenosis. Nutritional status plays a role in risk stratification for TAVR given its impact on peri-procedural outcomes. We aim to evaluate the impact of protein-calorie malnutrition (PCM) on the outcomes of TAVR.Methods:We queried the national inpatient sample database from year 2016 – 2020 to identify all patients who underwent TAVR. They were classified based on the presence of protein-calorie malnutrition. Statistical significance was assigned at p
Abstract 4140731: Trends, Outcomes and Predictors of Mortality in Patients with Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Insights from National Database
Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1, Page A4140731-A4140731, November 12, 2024. Introduction:Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are stem cell disorders that include include polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), primary myelofibrosis (PMF), chronic neutrophilic leukemia, and less well defined entities such as chronic eosinophilic leukemia. MPN are associated with an increased cardiovascular risk including acute coronary syndrome. However, there is a lack of comprehensive data regarding the rate of coronary revascularization, as well as the in-hospital characteristics and outcomes for MPN patients.Objective:We aimed to evaluate the temporal trends and outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) among patients with MPN.Methods:The National Inpatient Sample database from 2016 to 2020 was queried to identify all PCI hospitalizations. Temporal trends and outcomes of patients with and without MPN following PCI were described. Propensity score matching (PSM) was implemented to compare outcomes between MPN and non-MPN groups.Results:Our study included 2,237,210 PCI hospitalizations with 7,560 (0.27%) patients having MPN. Throughout the study period, the prevalence of MPN among PCI admissions remained stable (p-value for trend = 0.12). Within the MPN subgroup, ET was the predominant condition (53.2%), followed by PV (24.2%), CML (19.6%) and PMF (3.0%), with no significant temporal variation in the distribution of these subtypes. Patients with MPN had higher prevalence of cardiovascular comorbidities than non-MPN patients. Following propensity score matching, MPNs were significantly associated with an higher risk of blood transfusions (OR: 1.66, 95% CI: 1.22-2.24, p=0.001) and AKI (OR: 1.39, 95% CI: 1.17-1.65, p
