Popis: Background The PARADISE-MI trial examined the efficacy of sacubitril/valsartan in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), pulmonary congestion or both. Little is known about the trajectory and echocardiographic correlates of pulmonary congestion in this population. Purpose We sought to assess the trajectory of pulmonary congestion using lung ultrasound (LUS) and its association with cardiac structure and function in a subset of patients enrolled in PARADISE- MI. Methods Participants underwent 8-zone LUS at baseline and 8 months. B-lines were quantified offline, blinded to treatment group, clinical findings, timepoint and outcomes by a core laboratory. Paired t-tests, chi-squared tests, and linear regression analyses were conducted. Results Among 152 patients (median age 65 years, 32% women, 35% obese, mean LVEF 41%), any B-lines were detectable in 87%, the median sum of B-lines in 8 zones was 4 [IQR 2–8], and 67% had ≥3 B-lines indicative of congestion. Greater number of B-lines at baseline was associated with larger left atrial (LA) size, higher E/e' and E/A ratios, greater degree of mitral regurgitation, worse right ventricular (RV) systolic function, and higher tricuspid regurgitation velocity (P trend Conclusions In this post-AMI cohort, sonographic B-lines, indicating pulmonary congestion, were common at baseline and were significantly higher at follow-up in those who developed HF. Worse pulmonary congestion at baseline was associated with prognostically important echocardiographic markers of LV filling pressure, pulmonary pressure, and RV function.
