Abstract

Objective: To analyze the clinical features, risk factors and prognosis of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) complicated with ischemic stroke (IS) (DCM-IS). Methods: The clinical data of patients with idiopathic DCM (n=613) in Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Liangxiang Hospital and Fuxing Hospital from January 2016 to December 2020 were retrospectively collected, and among them, 123 cases were DCM-IS. Clinical features of patients with DCM-IS were summarized and multivariate logistic regression model was utilized to analyze the independent risk factors of DCM-IS. Furthermore, 1-year follow-up was conducted and Kaplan-Meier curve was adopted to analyze the prognosis of DCM, using all-cause death and heart transplantation as adverse outcomes. Results: Among the 70 patients with DCM-IS, 6 patients (8.6%, 6/70) were in accordance with the subtype of large artery atherosclerosis, and 47 patients (67.1%, 47/70) were in line with the subtype of cardiogenic embolism, and small artery occlusion subtype (ie, lacunar infarction) were detected in 17 cases (24.3%, 17/70). Hypertension [odds ratio (OR)=1.617, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.049-2.491, P=0.029], hyperlipidemia (OR=1.918, 95%CI: 1.198-3.073, P=0.007), atrial fibrillation (AF) (OR=1.617, 95%CI: 1.016-2.572, P=0.043), lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (OR=0.986, 95%CI: 0.977-0.996, P=0.005) and a higher incidence of intracardiac thrombus (OR=6.127, 95%CI: 3.174-11.827, P<0.001) were risk factors for DCM-IS. The overall 1-year survival rate was lower in DCM-IS patients (70.7%) than DCM patients without stroke (83.6%, P=0.004), and the main causes of death included obstinate heart failure (3 cases of DCM-IS, and 5 cases of non-DCM-IS) and malignant arrhythmia (DCM-IS) (22 cases of DCM-IS, and 18 cases of non-DCM-IS). Conclusions: Among IS patients with idiopathic DCM, cardioembolism is the most common, followed by lacunar infarction, and the large-artery atherosclerotic subtype is the least common.Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, AF, lower eGFR value and higher incidence of intracardiac thrombus are risk factors for DCM-IS. DCM patients complicated with IS have poor short-term prognosis, and obstinate heart failure and malignant arrhythmia are their main causes of death.

目的: 分析特发性扩张型心肌病(DCM)合并缺血性卒中(IS)的临床特点、危险因素及其预后。 方法: 回顾性分析2016年1月至2020年12月首都医科大学附属北京安贞医院、北京市房山区良乡医院和首都医科大学附属复兴医院住院的613例特发性DCM患者的临床资料(其中合并IS者123例)。总结了特发性DCM患者合并IS的临床特点,采用多因素logistic回归模型分析特发性DCM合并IS的独立危险因素。对特发性DCM患者进行1年随访,以全因死亡和心脏移植为不良结局,采用Kaplan-Meier曲线描述患者的预后。 结果: 在70例特发性DCM合并IS患者中发现,符合大动脉粥样硬化亚型者6例(8.6%,6/70)、心源性栓塞亚型者47例(67.1%,47/70)、小动脉闭塞亚型(即腔隙性梗死)者17例(24.3%,17/70)。高血压(OR=1.617,95%CI:1.049~2.491,P=0.029)、高血脂(OR=1.918,95%CI:1.198~3.073,P=0.007)、心房颤动(AF)(OR=1.617,95%CI:1.016~2.572,P=0.043)、估算肾小球滤过率(eGFR)低(OR=0.986,95%CI:0.977~0.996,P=0.005)以及心内血栓(OR=6.127,95%CI:3.174~11.827,P<0.001)是特发性DCM合并IS的危险因素。在特发性DCM合并IS患者中,1年的累积生存率(70.7%)(即未发生全因死亡/心脏移植)低于不合并IS者(83.6%,P=0.004),死因主要包括恶性心律失常(合并IS者3例、不合并IS者5例)、顽固性心衰(合并IS者22例、不合并IS者18例)。 结论: 在特发性DCM合并IS的患者中,心源性栓塞最常见,其次是腔隙性梗死,大动脉粥样硬化亚型最少见;高血压、高血脂、AF,更低的eGFR值以及心内血栓是特发性DCM合并IS的危险因素;特发性DCM合并IS的短期预后差,顽固性心衰和恶性心律失常是其主要死因。.
