    Kurzfassung: Introduction: Right ventricular failure (RVF) and ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VA) are common causes of poor outcome and mortality in patients with left ventricular assist device (LVAD). VA can precipitate RVF and inotropic therapy can further exacerbate VA. The purpose of this observational study was to investigate the individual and combined impact of RVF and VA on mortality in the early postoperative period after LVAD. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients undergoing implantation of an LVAD between 2014 to 2017 (N=110). Telemetry tracings and device interrogations were reviewed. Early VA was defined as any ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation within the first month after LVAD associated with hemodynamic compromise that required device therapy, catheter ablation, and/or antiarrhythmic therapy. Kaplan-Meier statistics with the Mantel-Cox log-rank test was used to analyze survival. Results: We identified 110 LVAD patients, age 57±13 years, 80 males (73%), ischemic cardiomyopathy n=54 (49%), (HeartWare (n=44), HeartMate II (n=44), and HeartMate III (n=22)). Patients were categorized into group A - early VA and severe RVF (n=14); group B - early VA without RVF (n=16); group C - severe RVF without early VA (n=33); and group D - neither VA nor RVF (n=47). The 1-year survival of group A, B, C, and D was 50%, 69%, 73%, and 89%, respectively (p=0.001 comparing each group to the other groups, enclosed figure). The presence of early VA did not relate to RVF (p=0.7). Pre-operative VA was related to post-LVAD VA (RR 9.4, p=0.003). Conclusions: Patients without early VA or severe RVF demonstrated the best survival. Both, VA and severe RVF decreased survival. The presence of both, VA and RVF appears to potentiate mortality. Pre-operative VA is related to post-LVAD VA. These data raise the question if intra-operative ablative therapy in patients undergoing LVAD implantation could improve post-operative mortality, VA, and RVF.

    Kurzfassung: Ibrutinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor most commonly associated with atrial fibrillation. However, additional cardiotoxicities have been identified, including accelerated hypertension. The incidence and risk factors of new or worsening hypertension following ibrutinib treatment are not as well known. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of 144 patients diagnosed with B cell malignancies treated with ibrutinib (n=93) versus conventional chemoimmunotherapy (n=51) and evaluated their effects on blood pressure at 1, 2, 3 and 6 months after treatment initiation. Descriptive statistics were used to compare baseline characteristics for each treatment group. Fisher’s exact test was used to identify covariates significantly associated with the development of hypertension. Repeated measures analyses were conducted to analyse longitudinal blood pressure changes. Results Both treatments had similar prevalence of baseline hypertension at 63.4% and 66.7%, respectively. There were no differences between treatments by age, sex and baseline cardiac comorbidities. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure significantly increased over time with ibrutinib compared with baseline, whereas conventional chemoimmunotherapy was not associated with significant changes in blood pressure. Baseline hypertensive status did not affect the degree of blood pressure change over time. A significant increase in systolic blood pressure (defined as more than 10 mm Hg) was noted for ibrutinib (36.6%) compared with conventional chemoimmunotherapy (7.9%) at 1 month after treatment initiation. Despite being hypertensive at follow-up, 61.2% of patients who were treated with ibrutinib did not receive adequate blood pressure management (increase or addition of blood pressure medications). Within the ibrutinib group, of patients who developed more than 20 mm Hg increase in systolic blood pressure, only 52.9% had hypertension management changes. Conclusions Ibrutinib is associated with the development of hypertension and worsening of blood pressure. Cardiologists and oncologists must be aware of this cardiotoxicity to allow timely management of blood pressure elevations.
