Left Ventricular Function and Volume with Coronary CT Angiography Improves Risk Stratification and Identification of Patients at Risk for Incident Mortality: Results from 7758 Patients in the Prospective Multinational CONFIRM Observational Cohort Study

Abstract: LV dysfunction and volumes measured with cardiac CT angiography augment risk prediction and discrimination for future mortality.

“…Despite the many causes of DCM, there are many similarities in the final structural and functional alterations, related to long-term stress and neurohormonal activation [5] , that eventually lead to systolic heart failure. Increased left ventricular end-diastolic volume and decreased left ventricular ejection fraction are risk factors for cardiac morbidity and mortality in the general population [6] . The mechanisms that determine the progression of DCM are not completely understood, but 30–48% are related to genetic mutations [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] ; DCM is also closely associated with hypertension [3] .…”

“…In 7758 patients from the Coronary CT Angiography Evaluation for Clinical Outcomes: An International Multicenter (CONFIRM) registry, worsening LV EF, and larger LV volumes predicted mortality and were associated with CAD. 62 In this registry, LV EF was classified as normal (≥55%), mildly reduced (55% but ≥45%), moderately reduced (45% but ≥35%), and severely reduced (<35%). Abnormal LV end-systolic volume (LVESV) was defined as ≥90 mL and abnormal LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) as ≥200 mL.…”
