Résumé
Pulmonary congestion assessed at discharge by lung ultrasonography predicts poor prognosis in heart failure (HF) patients. We investigated the association of B-lines with indices of hemodynamic congestion [BNP, E/e', pulmonary systolic arterial pressure (PAPs)] in HF patients, and their prognostic value overall and according to concomitant atrial fibrillation (AF), reduced (≤40%) ejection fraction (EF), and timing of quantification during hospitalisation for heart failure (HHF). In 110 HHF patients, B-lines were highly discriminative of BNP >400 pg/ml (AUC ≥ 0.80 for all), and moderately discriminative of PAPs >50 mmHg (AUC = 0.68, 0.56 to 0.80); conversely, B-lines poorly discriminated average E/e' ≥ 15, except at discharge. B-line count significantly predicted mid-term recurrent HHF or death (overall and in subgroups), regardless of AF status, EF, and timing of quantification during HHF (all p for interaction >0.10). regardless, B-lines ≥30 at discharge were most predictive of outcome (HR = 7.11, 2.06-24.48; p = 0.002) while B-lines ≥45 early during HHF were most predictive of outcome (HR = 9.20, 1.82-46.61; p = 0.007). Lung ultrasound was able to identify patients with high BNP levels, but not with increased E/e', also showing a prognostic role regardless of AF status, EF or timing of quantification; best B-line cut-off appears to vary according to the timing of quantification during hospitalization.
