Prognostic significance of left ventricular aneurysm in the Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial (CAST) population.

Abstract:

:Left ventricular aneurysm has been associated with increased mortality rates. The Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial (CAST) database was used prospectively to assess (1) the prognostic significance of left ventricular (LV) aneurysm after myocardial infarction on mortality rates and (2) the relation of LV aneurysm to ventricular arrhythmias and their suppressibility. All patients in the CAST study were enrolled after myocardial infarction. They had > or = 6 ventricular premature depolarizations (VPDs) per hour and ejection fraction < or = 55%; they were enrolled in the study an average of 96 days after the index myocardial infarction. Of 2494 patients with wall motion data, 164 had LV aneurysm, 600 had only dyskinesis, 913 had only akinesis, and 817 had none of these. Radionuclide scan was used in 39%, two-dimensional echocardiography in 30%, and LV angiogram in 31%. Baseline VPDs and nonsustained ventricular tachycardia were similar in all groups. LV aneurysm patients were more frequently eliminated during open-label titration. The incidence of sustained VT during follow-up was only 2.8% for aneurysm patients, a rate that was similar to the other groups. Patients with LV aneurysm had significantly lower survival rates (82% vs 91%) at 16 months after study entry than those without these wall motion abnormalities (p < 0.005). When survival rates were adjusted for ejection fraction there was still a moderately large hazard ratio (1.34) of LV aneurysm that was not statistically significant (p = 0.18). We conclude that (1) the presence of LV aneurysm does not independently worsen prognosis, and (2) older concepts of LV aneurysm and ventricular arrhythmias must be reevaluated.
