High aortic pulse wave velocity is associated with poor quality of life in surgical aortic valve stenosis patients.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:Aortic stiffness is an emerging risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The predictive value of aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) for quality of life (QoL) and severity of surgical aortic valve stenosis (AS) have not been examined. METHODS:PWV was measured in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR) for AS. QoL [SF-36 and European QoL 5-dimensions (EQ-5D) questionnaires] was assessed pre- and postoperatively (409 ± 159 days). PWV was analysed: (i) as a continuous variable and (ii) as a dichotomous variable (PWV-norm and PWV-high groups) according to the published normal reference value. RESULTS:Fifty-six patients (16 females), mean age of 71 ± 8.4 years, were included, and 50 (89%) patients completed follow-up. The two groups were matched for age, gender and classical haemodynamic measurements. There was no significant relation between AS severity and PWV. PWV-norm patients (n = 35) scored significantly better than PWV-high (n = 21) patients in the EQ-5D visual analogue scale and the EQ-5D index pre- (P < 0.001 and P = 0.03, respectively) and postoperatively (P < 0.001 for both). In SF-36, PWV-norm group scored better than PWV-high group in physical health domains preoperatively and in all domains postoperatively. Spearman's correlation was significant between PWV and QoL component summaries pre- and postoperatively. Among PWV, age and gender, multiple regression analysis demonstrated PWV to be independently related to QoL pre- and postoperatively (P-values ranged from <0.01 to <0.05). CONCLUSIONS:PWV does not correlate with AS severity, but is associated with QoL before and after AVR. The published European PWV reference values can be used to categorise preoperative AS patients for QoL risk stratification.
