Relationship between Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Pressure Gradient and Hemoglobin in Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
摘要
Background: Anemia caused by left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) has been reported, however, large clinical studies confirming this association are lacking. The objective of the present study was to investigate the relationship between left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) pressure gradient and hemoglobin in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Methods: Patient demographics, laboratory and echocardiography data from 310 patients diagnosed with HCM from our hospital who had undergone echocardiography from July 2014 to March 2019 were collected from medical records. Patients were classified into HOCM and non-HOCM groups. Results: Compared to the non-HOCM group, patients in the HOCM group had a lower hemoglobin level (112.2 ± 16.7 vs. 132.9 ± 22.2 g/L, p ＜ 0.001). In addition, significant negative correlations between hemoglobin and LVOT pressure gradient were found in males (r = -0.568, p ＜ 0.001) and females (r = -0.589, p ＜ 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that the best cut-off value for hemoglobin to predict HOCM in male patients was 128 g/L with 74.19% sensitivity and 75.51% specificity (area under the curve: 0.763, p ＜ 0.001). For female patients, the cut-off value was 125 g/L, with a sensitivity and specificity of 89.39% and 48.48%, respectively (area under the curve: 0.718, p ＜ 0.001). Conclusions: Our results indicate that hemoglobin level is inversely proportional to the LVOT gradient pressure and has value for predicting outflow tract obstruction in patients with HCM.
