Clinical Impact of ABO and Rhesus D Blood Type Groups in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure.
The American Journal of Cardiology(2018)
摘要
Blood group systems based on red blood cell antigens are genetically determined and can identify patients at risk. Type non-O of the ABO blood group system has been associated with coronary artery disease, thrombosis, and a worse prognosis. The present study evaluated the distribution of blood group types in patients with heart failure (HF) and the impact on clinical outcome. We evaluated the ABO and Rhesus D antigen (RhD) blood types in a large cohort of chronic HF patients (n = 3,815). ABO blood type distribution in the HF population was not significantly different to that reported in the general national population (A 40%, B 20%, AB 8%, and O 33%). The percentage of Rh-negative per blood type was also similar (A 10%, B 9%, AB 10%, and O 7%). Patients with type 0 were more likely to be hypertensive compared with non-O type. Mean follow-up was 4.2 years. Overall survival during follow-up was 55%. Cox regression analysis after adjustment for significant predictors demonstrated that RhD-negative was associated with a worse prognosis in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (n = 2,881, 76 %): hazard ratio 1.26, 95% confidence interval 1.04 to 1.53, p = 0.02. Type non-O was also independently associated with a worse prognosis compared with type 0 in patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy: hazard ratio 1.32, 95% confidence interval 1.04 to 1.67, p = 0.02. In conclusion, blood group type distribution in HF patients are similar to the general population. RhD-negative is associated with a worse prognosis in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy.
