Determinants of Exercise Capacity Following ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)
Background: Abnormal left ventricular systolic and diastolic function and reduced exercise capacity are associated with worse prognosis following ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, evidence is lacking on the determinants of exercise capacity following STEMI. We sought to determine...

Methods: In a retrospective analysis of 139 consecutive STEMI patients who had a transthoracic echocardiogram following STEMI and completed exercise treadmill testing, the primary outcome was to identify clinical and echocardiographic determinants of exercise capacity, and the secondary outcome was to identify determinants of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs).

Age, female sex, anterior infarction, abnormal diastolic function, minimum left atrial indexed volume (LAVI<sub>min</sub>) ≥ 18 mL/m<sup>2</sup>, average e’, and E/e’ were associated with METs ≤ 8, but not left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). On multivariate analysis, LAVI<sub>min</sub> (OR 4.3, 95%CI 1.3–14.2; <i>p</i> = 0.017), anterior infarction (OR 2.6, 95%CI 1.2–5.9; <i>p</i> = 0.022), and abnormal diastolic function (OR 3.73, 95%CI 1.7–8.4; <i>p</i> = 0.001) were independent predictors of METs ≤ 8. On Kaplan–Meier analysis, METs ≤ 8 (<i>p</i> = 0.01) and abnormal diastolic function (<i>p</i> = 0.04) were associated with MACEs (median follow-up 2.3 years). METs ≤ 8 was an independent predictor of MACEs (HR 3.4, 95%CI 1.2–9.8; <i>p</i> = 0.02). Conclusions: Following first-ever STEMI, increased LAVI<sub>min</sub>, anterior infarction, and abnormal diastolic function were independent predictors of reduced exercise capacity.

Background: Abnormal left ventricular systolic and diastolic function and reduced exercise capacity are associated with worse prognosis following ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, evidence is lacking on the determinants of exercise capacity following STEMI. We sought to determine the impact of systolic and diastolic dysfunction on exercise capacity and outcomes following first-ever STEMI. Methods: In a retrospective analysis of 139 consecutive STEMI patients who had a transthoracic echocardiogram following STEMI and completed exercise treadmill testing, the primary outcome was to identify clinical and echocardiographic determinants of exercise capacity, and the secondary outcome was to identify determinants of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs). Results: Mean number of metabolic equivalents (METs > 8) was used as a cut-off. Age, female sex, anterior infarction, abnormal diastolic function, minimum left atrial indexed volume (LAVI<sub>min</sub>) ≥ 18 mL/m<sup>2</sup>, average e’, and E/e’ were associated with METs ≤ 8, but not left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). On multivariate analysis, LAVI<sub>min</sub> (OR 4.3, 95%CI 1.3–14.2; <i>p</i> = 0.017), anterior infarction (OR 2.6, 95%CI 1.2–5.9; <i>p</i> = 0.022), and abnormal diastolic function (OR 3.73, 95%CI 1.7–8.4; <i>p</i> = 0.001) were independent predictors of METs ≤ 8.
