Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction Change Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Correlates and Association With Prognosis

Background The association between left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) change (ΔLVEF) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and the long‐term mortality rate in patients with coronary artery disease is incompletely investigated. We aimed to assess the impact of PCI on LVEF and the...

description Background The association between left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) change (ΔLVEF) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and the long‐term mortality rate in patients with coronary artery disease is incompletely investigated. We aimed to assess the impact of PCI on LVEF and the association of ΔLVEF after PCI with the long‐term mortality rate. Methods and Results This observational study included 8181 patients with paired angiographic LVEF measurements performed at baseline and 6 to 8 months following the index PCI. ΔLVEF was defined as LVEF measured on the 6‐ to 8‐month angiography minus LVEF measured on the baseline angiography. LVEF change was classified according to the following categories: reduced (ΔLVEF <0), mildly improved (ΔLVEF >0% to <10%) and largely improved (ΔLVEF ≥10%). The primary outcome was the 5‐year mortality rate. In patients with baseline LVEF <40%, 40% to <50% and ≥50%, ΔLVEF (median [25th–75th percentiles]) was 6.0% [0.0% to 14.0%], 4.0% [−1.0% to 11.0%] and 0.0% [−4.0% to 3.0%], respectively (P<0.001). In patients with reduced, mildly improved, and largely improved ΔLVEF, the 5‐year mortality rate (n=712) was 29.1%, 23.1%, and 16.5%, respectively, in patients with baseline LVEF <40%; 17.0%, 12.2% and 9.8%, respectively, in patients with baseline LVEF 40% to <50%; and 7.8%, 7.1%, and 5.6%, respectively, in patients with baseline LVEF ≥50% (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 0.91 [95% CI, 0.86–0.96]; P<0.001) for all‐cause death and adjusted (HR, 0.86 [95% CI, 0.81–0.92]; P<0.001) for cardiac death, calculated for 5% higher ΔLVEF. Conclusions In patients with coronary artery disease undergoing PCI, improvement of LVEF following PCI was associated with a reduced long‐term mortality rate in patients with reduced LVEF but not in patients with preserved LVEF before intervention.
