Prognostic Implications of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction and Left Ventricular End-Diastolic Diameter on Clinical Outcomes in Patients with ICD

Background: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a suboptimal indicator of risk stratification for patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). Studies have shown that left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) was associated with all-cause mortality and ventricular ar...

description Background: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a suboptimal indicator of risk stratification for patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). Studies have shown that left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) was associated with all-cause mortality and ventricular arrhythmias. We examined the quantified prognostic value of LVEF and LVEDD for clinical outcomes, respectively. Method: This study retrospectively enrolled patients with ICD implantation in a single center. The associations between LVEF or LVEDD and all-cause mortality and appropriate shocks were analyzed using Cox regression and Fine-gray competing risk regression, respectively. Result: During a median follow up of 59.6 months, 168/630 (26.7%) patients died. LVEF and LVEDD were strongly associated with all-cause mortality (LVEF per 10%: HR 0.77, 95%CI 0.64–0.93, <i>p</i> = 0.006; LVEDD per 10 mm: HR 1.54, 95%CI 1.27–1.85, <i>p</i> < 0.001). After a median interrogation time of 37.1 months, 156 (24.8%) patients received at least one shock. LVEF was not associated with appropriate shock, whereas larger LVEDD (per 10 mm) was significantly associated with a higher risk of shock (HR: 1.27, 95%CI 1.06–1.52, <i>p</i> = 0.008). The addition of LVEF or LVEDD to clinical factors provided incremental prognostic value and discrimination improvement for all-cause mortality, while only the addition of LVEDD to clinical factors improved prognostic value for shock intervention. Conclusions: Baseline LVEF and LVEDD show a linear relationship with all-cause mortality in patients with ICD. However, whereas LVEF is not associated with shock, a linear relationship exists between LVEDD and appropriate shock. LVEDD adds more predictive value in relation to all-cause mortality and appropriate shocks than LVEF.
