Abstract:
PURPOSE:Oncological patients are at increasing risk of QT prolongation, a risk factor for ventricular arrhythmia. We assessed impact and risk factors for corrected QT (QTc) prolongation during multiple-cycle chemotherapy. METHODS:We enrolled 100 outpatients initiating chemotherapy in a university center specializing in female cancer. Clinical, drug, laboratory, and 12-lead ECG data collection at baseline and at each chemotherapy cycle was performed. RESULTS:Enrolled patients were followed for 992 chemotherapy cycles (median 7; interquartile range 6-13); 2438 ECGs were recorded (20; 18-31) 36.8% pre-therapy, 36.8% following chemotherapy, and 22.5% 7-10 days after chemotherapy. Maximum QTc (Max-QTc) was recorded after 4 chemotherapy administrations in >50% of the entire cohort and also within every subset of patients with prolonged QTc (57% 471-480 ms; 54% 481-500 ms; 66% >500 ms). No cumulative effect on QTc was shown. QTc prolongation was comparable among the various protocols. Prophylactic/supportive drugs were not associated with additional QTc prolongation. Variables independently associated with QTc prolongation >470 ms were age (OR 1.056 95% CI 1.006-1.108, p = 0.028) and the baseline-first chemotherapy averaged QTc (BC-QTc) (OR 1.092 95% CI 1.051-1.136), a novel parameter devised for this study. Only BC-QTc maintained significance for QTc >480 ms. BC-QTc >435 ms identified 100 % of patients with Max-QTc >500 ms, 96% with Max-QTc 481-500 ms, and 66% with Max-QTc 471-480 ms. Only 29% of patients with Max-QTc ≤470 ms presented a BC-QTc >435 ms. CONCLUSIONS:Our results confirm the high prevalence of QTc prolongation after chemotherapy. Most of the patients reached Max-QTc after several cycles. BC-QTc may help in stratifying arrhythmic risk in real-world clinical practice.
