Cardiac Functions and All-Cause Mortality in Kyphoscoliosis Patients with Chronic Respiratory Failure Using Non-invasive Ventilation
Abstract
Introduction: We aimed to evaluate
cardiac functions and mortality rate in kyphoscoliosis patients with chronic
respiratory failure under long term non-invasive ventilation (NIV).
Patients and Methods: Kyphoscoliosis patients,
who used NIV, were included in the study. Patients’ characteristics and
cardiovascular risk factors were recorded. Ambulatory rhythm monitoring and
echocardiography were performed for all patients. Results were compared with 26
age-gender matched volunteers without dyspnea. Patients had been followed for
five years.
Results: Twenty-three
kyphoscoliosis patients (54 ± 13 years, 15 male) were included in the study.
Hypertension and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation were more frequent in patients.
Left ventricular systolic functions were normal but diastolic functions were
worsened. Right ventricular sizes were normal but systolic and diastolic
functions were worsened and the mean pulmonary artery pressure was higher in
kyphoscoliosis patients. Four patients were died in follow up. Two of patients
died due to severe hypoxia and two of them died due to sepsis. Clinical and
laboratory properties including cardiovascular risk factors, echocardiographic
examination were not different between the survived patients and dying ones.
