| Popis: | Introduction: The prevalence of sarcoid cardiomyopathy (SCM) with female predominance is well known. However, gender differences amongst individual races remains poorly studied. Hypothesis: We sought to determine and compare within each gender and race, the rates of arrhythmias, implantable cardiac devices, and in-hospital mortality in patients with SCM after excluding those with a history of coronary artery disease. Methods: The Nationwide Inpatient Sample was queried from 2010 to 2014 using ICD-9 diagnosis code (135) for sarcoidosis among patients >18 years old. We combined it with code (425.8) for cardiomyopathy in other diseases including sarcoid and sarcoid heart muscle disease. We excluded patients with a history of prior myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass graft. Results: From 2010 to 2014, we identified 9,063 patients with SCM (mean age = 53.11 ± 11.28 years; men 51.8% and black 52.5%). Upon comparison of gender within races, event rates per 100 patients were (white male, white female, black male, black female; p-value): atrial fibrillation (20.7, 18.8, 18, 16.1; p=0.172), ventricular fibrillation (VF) (4.1, 1.7, 2.3, 2.1; p Conclusion: White males had higher rates of VF, VT, CHB, but they also had a lower in-hospital mortality and SCA rates likely due to higher procedural rates such as EMB, ICD, CRT-D, catheter ablation and OHT as compared to others. |
