Synergistic effect of coronary artery disease risk factors on long-term survival in patients with normal exercise SPECT studies

Abstract: During follow-up, annualized mortality rate varies markedly according to the number of CAD risk factors in patients without known heart disease and a normal exercise SPECT stress. Despite overall excellent long-term prognosis of a normal exercise SPECT, the burden of traditional CAD risk factors exert a strong synergistic influence on long-term survival and warrant aggressive treatment in this patient population.

“…Previous studies have documented that patients with normal exercise stress 99mTc sestamibi scans had excellent prognosis not only in short-term follow-up [14][15][16] but also in very long-term observation [17,18]. In that group of patients the clinical outcome was mostly determined by the following factors: exercise heart rate, known CAD, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus and smoking [15,17,19].…”

“…Tampoco hubo resultados significativos al analizar los eventos mayores, hallazgo explicable por la baja incidencia de estos. Debiera considerarse la probabilidad de EC previa y el número de FRCV, pues en un trabajo con SPECT miocárdicos negativos con 6 años de seguimiento, la mortalidad a largo plazo aumentó significativamente según el número de factores 9,29 .…”

“…La tomografía computada de emisión de fotón único (SPECT) es superior a la PE para detección de EC 8 , con buen valor predictivo negativo; así un estudio normal tiene baja tasa de eventos mayores, en seguimiento a largo plazo 7 ; con ejercicio, en pacientes sin EC conocida, presenta tasa de mortalidad < 1% anual, desde 0,2% anual sin FRCV y hasta 1,7% anual con tres de ellos 9 . Un gran estudio que midió su impacto sobre muerte, infarto de miocardio (IM) y revascularización coronaria demostró que tiene implicancia pronós-tica con cualquier nivel de ejercicio y que aunque los defectos isquémicos fueron poco frecuentes sobre 10 METs estuvieron fuertemente asociados a eventos cardíacos 10 .…”
