Incidence, Risk Factors, and Outcomes of Atrial Arrhythmias in Adult Patients With Atrioventricular Septal Defect

Résumé

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to assess the incidence, associated factors, and outcomes of atrial arrhythmias in adults with atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD). BACKGROUND: Data regarding atrial arrhythmias in adults with AVSD are particularly scarce. METHODS: Data were analyzed from a multicentric cohort of adult patients with AVSD. Lifetime cumulative incidences of atrial arrhythmias were studied. Multiple logistic regression models were used to identify risk factors. RESULTS: A total of 391 patients (61.6% women) were enrolled with a mean age of 36.3 ± 16.3 years and a mean follow-up of 17.3 ± 14.2 years after initial surgical repair. Overall, 98 patients (25.1%) developed at least 1 episode of atrial arrhythmia at a mean age of 39.2 ± 17.2 years. The mean ages of patients at first episode of intra-atrial re-entrant tachycardia (IART)/ focal atrial tachycardia (FAT) and atrial fibrillation were 33.7 ± 15.3 and 44.3 ± 16.5 years, respectively. The lifetime risks for developing atrial arrhythmia to ages 20, 40, and 60 years were 3.7%, 17.8%, and 55.3%, respectively. IART/FAT was the leading arrhythmia until the age of 45, then atrial fibrillation surpassed IART/FAT. Age (odds ratio [OR]: 1.4; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.2-1.6), number of cardiac surgeries (OR: 4.1; 95% CI: 2.5-6.9), left atrial dilatation (OR: 3.1; 95% CI: 1.4-6.8), right atrial dilatation (OR: 4.1; 95% CI: 1.7-10.3), and moderate or severe left atrioventricular valve regurgitation (OR: 3.7; 95% CI: 1.2-11.7) were independently associated with a higher risk of atrial arrhythmias, whereas the type of AVSD and the age at repair were not. The occurrence of atrial arrhythmias was associated with pacemaker implantation (41.8% vs. 8.5%; P \textless 0.001), heart failure (24.5% vs. 1.0%; P \textless 0.001), and cerebrovascular accidents (11.2% vs. 3.4%; P = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS: The lifetime risk of atrial arrhythmias in patients with AVSD is considerable with more than half of patients developing ≥1 atrial arrhythmia by the age of 60 and is associated with a significant morbidity. The risk in partial/intermediate AVSD is as high as in complete AVSD and is not impacted by age at repair.
