Abstract

The objective of this manuscript was to explore if left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) could predict the efficacy of metoprolol therapy on vasovagal syncope (VVS) in children. Forty-nine children, including 30 with VVS and 19 gender- and age-matched healthy controls, were included in the study. Metoprolol was prescribed to the VVS subjects. The clinical data were obtained during follow-up at 2 and 6 months. The results showed that LVEF and LVFS of responders were significantly higher than those of non-responders both at the 2-month follow-up (LVEF: 72.5 ± 3.2% vs. 64.6 ± 3.4%; LVFS: 40.9 ± 2.3% vs. 34.9 ± 2.9%), and at the 6-month follow-up (LVEF: 72.8 ± 2.8% vs. 65.5 ± 4.6%; LVFS: 41.1 ± 1.9% vs. 35.8 ± 3.6%). The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis demonstrated that 70.5% as a cutoff value of baseline LVEF yielded a sensitivity of 80% and a specificity of 100% in predicting the therapeutic effectiveness of metoprolol at 2 months. For baseline LVFS, 38.5% as a cutoff value yielded a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 90%. At the 6-month follow-up, the ROC analysis demonstrated that 70.5% as a cutoff value of baseline LVEF yielded a sensitivity of 81.3% and a specificity of 88.9% in the prediction of metoprolol efficacy. For baseline LVFS, 37.5% as a cutoff value yielded a sensitivity of 93.8% and a specificity of 66.7%. In conclusion, baseline LVEF and LVFS might be useful predictors of the efficacy of β-blocker therapy on VVS in children.
