Background Delayed brain development, brain injury, and neurodevelopmental disabilities are commonly observed in infants operated for complex congenital heart defect. Our previous findings of poorer neurodevelopmental outcomes in individuals operated for simple congenital heart defects calls for further etiological clarification. Hence, we examined the microstructural tissue composition in cerebral cortex and subcortical structures in comparison to healthy controls and whether differences were associated with neurodevelopmental outcomes. Methods and Results Adults (n=62) who underwent surgical closure of an atrial septal defect (n=33) or a ventricular septal defect (n=29) in childhood and a group of healthy, matched controls (n=38) were enrolled. Brain diffusional kurtosis imaging and neuropsychological assessment were performed. Cortical and subcortical tissue microstructure were assessed using mean kurtosis tensor and mean diffusivity and compared between groups and tested for associations with neuropsychological outcomes. Alterations in microstructural tissue composition were found in the parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes in the congenital heart defects, with distinct mean kurtosis tensor cluster‐specific changes in the right visual cortex (pericalcarine gyrus, P=0.002; occipital part of fusiform and lingual gyri, P=0.019). Altered microstructural tissue composition in the subcortical structures was uncovered in atrial septal defects but not in ventricular septal defects. Associations were found between altered cerebral microstructure and social recognition and executive function. Conclusions Children operated for simple congenital heart defects demonstrated altered microstructural tissue composition in the cerebral cortex and subcortical structures during adulthood when compared with healthy peers. Alterations in cerebral microstructural tissue composition were associated with poorer neuropsychological performance.

Background Evidence of scaled‐up physical activity interventions is scarce. This study evaluates the uptake, engagement, and effectiveness of one such intervention program. Methods and Results The program was open to individuals aged ≥17 years in Singapore. The main intervention components comprised device‐based daily physical activity recording paired with step count goals and financial rewards. According to the different reward opportunities, we divided the evaluation period (August 2017 to June 2018) into the baseline monitoring phase, the main challenge phase, and the maintenance phase. Uptake was assessed by the number of individuals registered, and engagement by the step recording duration after registration. The effectiveness was defined as changes in mean daily step count from baseline to the main challenge phase and the maintenance phase. A total of 696 907 participants registered, including more Singapore citizens (versus noncitizens), women, and younger (aged 17–39 years) individuals. The evaluation of engagement and effectiveness included 421 388 (60.5%) participants who provided plausible characteristic information and step count data. The median duration of engagement was 74 (IQR, 14–149) days. Compared with the baseline of 7509 (SD, 3467) steps, mean daily step count increased by 1579 (95% CI, 1564–1594) steps during the main challenge phase and 934 (95% CI, 916–952) steps during the maintenance phase. Greater engagement and activity increase were found in participants who are citizens, women, aged ≥40 years, non‐obese, and using separate wearables (versus smartphones). Conclusions Mobile health physical activity interventions can successfully reach a large population and be effective in increasing physical activity, despite declining program engagement over time.

he development of novel devices and the favorable results of several randomized clinical trials have allowed for the rapid expansion of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) to elderly patients with aortic stenosis across all risk categories 1 ; however, the highly selected populations that are typically enrolled in randomized clinical trials may limit generalizability of the results to the real- world population with aortic stenosis. Furthermore, clinical trial or research program participation itself can facilitate behavior change in patients and health care providers and may contribute to improved patient outcomes, which is known as the “Hawthorne effect.” 2 Previous studies reported that research participation was associated with better survival in patients with acute coronary syndrome. 3,4 Given the lack of data exploring the effect of research participation on outcomes after TAVI, we compared the short- term survival after TAVI between clinical research participants and nonparticipants using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample. The data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon rea-sonable request. The Nationwide Inpatient Sample is the largest publicly available all- payer inpatient health care database in the United States and did not require ethical approval. All patients who underwent TAVI between 2013 and 2019 (n=56 648) were identified from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample using the following International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD- 10- CM) codes: 02RF37H, 02RF37Z, 02RF38H, 02RF38Z, 02RF3JH, 02RF3JZ, 02RF3KH, and 02RF3KZ. Patients with age ≤18 years (n=22), cirrhosis (n=760), end- stage renal disease (n=2136), do- not- resuscitate status or palliative care in-volvement (n=383), and cancer (n=1952) were excluded with reference to previous trials.

Background Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the United States, yet a significant proportion of adults at high risk remain undetected by standard screening practices. Polygenic risk score for coronary artery disease (CAD‐PRS) improves precision in determining the 10‐year risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease but health benefits and health care costs associated with CAD‐PRS are unknown. We examined the cost‐effectiveness of including CAD‐PRS as a risk‐enhancing factor in the pooled cohort equation (PCE)—the standard of care for determining the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease—versus PCE alone. Methods and Results We applied a Markov model on a cohort of 40‐year‐old individuals with borderline or intermediate 10‐year risk (5% to <20%) for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease to identify those in the top quintile of the CAD‐PRS distribution who are at high risk and eligible for statin prevention therapy. Health outcomes examined included coronary artery disease (CAD; ie, myocardial infarction) and ischemic stroke. The model projected medical costs (2019 US$) of screening for CAD, statin prevention therapy, treatment, and monitoring patients living with CAD or ischemic stroke and quality‐adjusted life‐years for PCE+CAD‐PRS versus PCE alone. Deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses and scenario analyses were performed to examine uncertainty in parameter inputs. PCE+CAD‐PRS was dominant compared with PCE alone in the 5‐ and 10‐year time horizons. We found that, respectively, PCE+CAD‐PRS had 0.003 and 0.011 higher mean quality‐adjusted life‐years and $40 and $181 lower mean costs per person screened, with 29 and 50 fewer events of CAD and ischemic stroke in a cohort of 10 000 individuals compared with PCE alone. The risk of developing CAD, the effectiveness of statin prevention therapy, and the cost of treating CAD had the largest impact on the cost per quality‐adjusted life‐year gained. However, this cost remained below the $50 000 willingness‐to‐pay threshold except when the annual risk of developing CAD was <0.006 in the 5‐year time horizon. Results from Monte Carlo simulation indicated that PCE+CAD‐PRS would be cost‐effective. with the probability of 94% and 99% at $50 000 willingness‐to‐pay threshold in the 5‐ and 10‐year time horizon, respectively. Conclusions Implementing CAD‐PRS as a risk‐enhancing factor in the PCE to determine the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease reduced the mean cost per individual, improved quality‐adjusted life‐years, and averted future events of CAD and ischemic stroke when compared with PCE alone.

Background Catheter‐based slow‐pathway modification (SPM) is the treatment of choice for symptomatic atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT). We sought to investigate the interactions between patient age and procedural outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing catheter‐based SPM for AVNRT. Methods and Results A retrospective cohort study was performed, including consecutive patients undergoing acutely successful SPM for AVNRT from 2008 to 2017. Those with congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathy, and accessory pathways were excluded. Patients were stratified by age quartile at time of SPM. The primary outcome was AVNRT recurrence. A total of 512 patients underwent successful SPM for AVNRT. Age quartile 1 had 129 patients with a median age and weight of 8.9 years and 30.6 kg, respectively. Radiofrequency energy was used in 98% of cases. Follow‐up was available in 447 (87%) patients with a median duration of 0.8 years (interquartile range, 0.2–2.5 years). AVNRT recurred in 22 patients. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard modeling identified atypical AVNRT (hazard ratio [HR], 5.83; 95% CI, 2.01–16.96; P=0.001), dual atrioventricular nodal only (HR, 4.09; 95% CI, 1.39–12.02; P=0.011), total radiofrequency lesions (HR, 1.06 per lesion; 95% CI, 1.01–1.12; P=0.032), and the use of a long sheath (HR, 3.52; 95% CI, 1.23–10.03; P=0.010) as predictors of AVNRT recurrence; quartile 1 patients were not at higher risk of recurrence (HR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.10–1.97; P=0.29). Complete heart block requiring permanent pacing occurred in one quartile 2 patient at 14.9 years of age. Conclusions Pediatric AVNRT can be treated with radiofrequency‐SPM with high procedural efficacy and minimal risk of complications, including heart block. Atypical AVNRT and dual atrioventricular nodal physiology without inducible tachycardia remain challenging substrates.

Background Exercise is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Increased high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C) levels are thought to contribute to these benefits, but much of the research in this area has been limited by lack of well‐controlled subject selection and exercise interventions. We sought to study the effect of moderate and high‐intensity exercise on HDL function, lipid/lipoprotein profile, and other cardiometabolic parameters in a homogeneous population where exercise, daily routine, sleep patterns, and living conditions were carefully controlled. Methods and Results Male Army recruits (n=115, age 22±0.3 years) completed a 12‐week moderate‐intensity exercise program. A subset of 51 subsequently completed a 15‐week high‐intensity exercise program. Fitness increased and body fat decreased after moderate‐ and high‐intensity exercise (P<0.001). Moderate‐intensity exercise increased HDL‐C and apolipoprotein A‐I levels (6.6%, 11.6% respectively), and decreased low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein B levels (7.2%, 4.9% respectively) (all P<0.01). HDL‐C and apolipoprotein A‐I levels further increased by 8.2% (P<0.001) and 6.3% (P<0.05) after high‐intensity exercise. Moderate‐intensity exercise increased ABCA‐1 (ATP‐binding cassette transporter A1) mediated cholesterol efflux by 13.5% (P<0.001), which was sustained after high‐intensity exercise. In a selected subset the ability of HDLs to inhibit ICAM‐1 (intercellular adhesion molecule‐1) expression decreased after the high (P<0.001) but not the moderate‐intensity exercise program. Conclusions When controlling for exercise patterns, diet, and sleep, moderate‐intensity exercise improved HDL function, lipid/lipoprotein profile, fitness, and body composition. A sequential moderate followed by high‐intensity exercise program showed sustained or incremental benefits in these parameters. Improved HDL function may be part of the mechanism by which exercise reduces cardiovascular disease risk.

Background Predicting a spontaneous rhythm change from nonshockable to shockable before hospital arrival in patients with out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest can help emergency medical services develop better strategies for prehospital treatment. The aim of this study was to identify predictors of spontaneous rhythm change before hospital arrival in patients with out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest and develop a predictive scoring system. Methods and Results We retrospectively reviewed data of eligible patients with out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest with an initial nonshockable rhythm registered in a nationwide registry between June 2014 and December 2017. We performed a multivariable analysis using a Cox proportional hazards model to identify predictors of a spontaneous rhythm change, and a ridge regression model for predicting it. The data of 25 804 patients were analyzed (derivation cohort, n=17 743; validation cohort, n=8061). The rhythm change event rate was 4.1% (724/17 743) in the derivation cohort, and 4.0% (326/8061) in the validation cohorts. Age, sex, presence of a witness, initial rhythm, chest compression by a bystander, shock with an automated external defibrillator by a bystander, and cause of the cardiac arrest were all found to be independently associated with spontaneous rhythm change before hospital arrival. Based on this finding, we developed and validated the Rhythm Change Before Hospital Arrival for Nonshockable score. The Harrell’s concordance index values of the score were 0.71 and 0.67 in the internal and external validations, respectively. Conclusions Seven factors were identified as predictors of a spontaneous rhythm change from nonshockable to shockable before hospital arrival. We developed and validated a score to predict rhythm change before hospital arrival.

Background Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a disease of unknown etiology that causes stenosis, aneurysmal dilatation, and dissection of vascular beds. Known to affect medium‐sized arteries, FMD is not typically considered to affect the aorta. We tested the hypothesis that aortic size in FMD is abnormal compared with age‐ and sex‐matched controls. Methods and Results Medical records and computed tomography angiography images were reviewed in female patients with a diagnosis of FMD who were seen in the vascular medicine clinic at Emory Healthcare. Aortic dimensions were measured at 6 different landmarks. Using 2 sample t tests, the aortic measurements and height‐indexed measurements were compared with published normal values in healthy women of a similar age. A total of 94 female patients were included in the study. The median age was 57 (interquartile range, 50–65). FMD involvement was present most commonly in the extracranial carotid (77.7%) and renal (43.6%) arteries. All 6 aortic segments were found to be larger in both absolute measures and height‐indexed measures in the FMD population (P<0.001). The largest differences were observed within the absolute measures of the sinotubular junction with mean±SD (mm) (29.9±4.1) versus (27±2.5), ascending aorta (32.7±4.4) versus (30.0±3.5), and descending aorta (24.7±3.0) versus (22.0±2.0) (P<0.001). Conclusions Aortic diameters in female patients with FMD are larger when compared with published age‐ and sex‐matched normal values. These findings suggest that FMD may also affect the large‐sized arteries.

Background Despite high female prevalence of peripheral artery disease (PAD), little is known about sex‐based outcomes after lower extremity revascularization (LER) for symptomatic PAD. The effects of rivaroxaban according to sex following LER have not been fully reported. Methods and Results In VOYAGER PAD (Vascular Outcomes Study of ASA [acetylsalicylic acid] Along with Rivaroxaban in Endovascular or Surgical Limb Revascularization for Peripheral Artery Disease), low‐dose rivaroxaban versus placebo on a background of aspirin reduced the composite primary efficacy outcome of cardiovascular and limb events in patients with PAD undergoing LER. Unplanned index limb revascularization was prespecified and prospectively ascertained. The primary safety outcome was Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction major bleeding. Analyses of outcomes and treatment effects by sex were performed using Cox proportional hazards models. Among 6564 randomly assigned patients followed for a median of 28 months, 1704 (26.0%) were women. Among patients administered placebo, women were at similar risk for the primary efficacy outcome (hazard ratio [HR], 0.90; [95% CI, 0.74–1.09]; P=0.29) as men, while female sex was associated with a trend toward higher risk of unplanned index limb revascularization (HR, 1.18; [95% CI, 1.00–1.40]; P=0.0499). Irrespective of sex, effects of rivaroxaban were consistent for the primary efficacy outcome (P‐interaction=0.22), unplanned index limb revascularization (P‐interaction=0.64), and bleeding (P‐interaction=0.61). Women were more likely than men to discontinue study treatment (HR, 1.13; [95% CI, 1.03–1.25]; P=0.0099). Conclusions Among >1700 women with PAD undergoing LER, women and men were at similar risk for the primary outcome, but a trend for greater risk of unplanned index limb revascularization among women was observed. Effects of rivaroxaban were consistent by sex, though women more often discontinued treatment. Better understanding of sex‐based outcomes and treatment adherence following LER is needed.

Background Exercise stress testing for cardiovascular assessment in kidney transplant candidates has been shown to be a feasible alternative to pharmacologic methods. Exercise stress testing allows the additional assessment of exercise capacity, which may have prognostic value for long‐term cardiovascular outcomes in pre‐transplant recipients. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of exercise capacity on long‐term cardiovascular outcomes in kidney transplant candidates. Methods and Results We retrospectively evaluated exercise capacity in 898 consecutive kidney transplant candidates between 2013 and 2020 who underwent symptom‐limited exercise stress echocardiography for pre‐transplant cardiovascular assessment. Exercise capacity was measured by age‐ and sex‐predicted metabolic equivalents (METs). The primary outcome was incident major adverse cardiovascular events, defined as cardiac death, non‐fatal myocardial infarction, and stroke. Cox proportional hazard multivariable modeling was performed to define major adverse cardiovascular events predictors with transplantation treated as a time‐varying covariate. A total of 429 patients (48%) achieved predicted METs. During follow‐up, 93 (10%) developed major adverse cardiovascular events and 525 (58%) underwent transplantation. Achievement of predicted METs was independently associated with reduced major adverse cardiovascular events (hazard ratio [HR] 0.49; [95% CI 0.29–0.82], P=0.007), as was transplantation (HR, 0.52; [95% CI 0.30–0.91], P=0.02). Patients achieving predicted METs on pre‐transplant exercise stress echocardiography had favorable outcomes that were independent (HR, 0.78; [95% CI 0.32–1.92], P=0.59) and of similar magnitude to subsequent transplantation (HR, 0.97; [95% CI 0.42–2.25], P=0.95). Conclusions Achievement of predicted METs on pre‐transplant exercise stress echocardiography confers excellent prognosis independent of and of similar magnitude to subsequent kidney transplantation. Future studies should assess the benefit on exercise training in this population.
研究背景:运动应激测试已被证明是替代药理学方法的可行方法。运动压力测试允许对运动能力进行额外的评估,这可能对移植前受者的长期心血管结果具有预后价值。本研究旨在评估运动能力对肾移植候选人长期心血管结局的预后价值。方法和结果我们回顾性评估了2013年至2020年间898例连续肾移植候选人的运动能力,这些患者在移植前接受了症状限制运动应激超声心动图检查,用于心血管评估。通过年龄和性别预测的代谢当量(METs)来测量运动能力。主要终点是主要不良心血管事件的发生率,定义为心源性死亡、非致死性心肌梗死和中风。采用Cox比例风险多变量模型来确定主要心血管不良事件的预测因素,并将移植作为时变协变量。共有429名患者(48%)达到了预期的METs。在随访期间,93例(10%)发生了严重的心血管不良事件,525例(58%)接受了移植。达到预期的METs与主要不良心血管事件的减少独立相关(危险比[HR] 0.49;[95% CI 0.29-0.82], P=0.007),移植也是如此(HR, 0.52;[95% ci 0.30-0.91], p =0.02)。在移植前运动应激超声心动图上达到预期METs的患者具有良好的独立预后(HR, 0.78;[95% CI 0.32-1.92], P=0.59),且与随后的移植相似(HR, 0.97;[95% ci 0.42-2.25], p =0.95)。结论:移植前运动应激超声心动图预测的METs具有良好的预后,与后续肾移植无关,且程度相似。未来的研究应该评估运动训练对这一人群的益处。
