ABSTRACT
Abstract

Background:

Cardiac cachexia is an important predictive factor of the reduction in survival of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

Objectives:

The aims of the present study were to evaluate adropin and irisin levels in cachectic and non-cachectic subjects and the relationships between the levels of these proteins and clinical and laboratory parameters in patients with HFrEF.

Methods:

The clinical records of patients who were admitted to the cardiology outpatient clinic for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction were screened. Cachectic patients were identified and assigned to the study group (n = 44, mean age, 65.4 ± 11.2 y; 61.4% men). Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction patients without weight loss were enrolled as the control group (n = 42, mean age, 61.0 ± 16.5 y; 64.3% men). The serum adropin and irisin levels of all patients were measured. A p-value < 0.05 was considered significant.

Results:

Serum adropin and irisin levels were significantly higher in the cachexia group than in the controls (Adropin (ng/L); 286.1 (231.3-404.0) vs 213.7 (203.1-251.3); p < 0.001, Irisin (µg/mL); 2.6 (2.2-4.4) vs 2.1 (1.8-2.4); p = 0.001). Serum adropin and irisin levels were positively correlated with brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels and New York Heart Association (NYHA) class and negatively correlated with body mass index (BMI) and serum albumin levels (all p values < 0.001). In a multivariate analysis, adropin was the only independent predictor of cachexia in the heart failure with reduced ejection fraction patients (OR 1.021; 95% CI 1.004−1.038; p = 0.017).

Conclusions:

The results suggest that adropin and irisin may be novel markers of cardiac cachexia in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction patients. Adropin and irisin are related with the severity of heart failure.
RESUMO
Resumo Fundamento A caquexia cardíaca é um importante preditor de redução de sobrevida em pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca com fração de ejeção reduzida (ICFER). O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os níveis de adropina e irisina em pacientes com ICFER caquéticos e não caquéticos, assim como a relação entre os níveis dessas proteínas e os parâmetros clínicos e laboratoriais nesses pacientes.

Objetivos:

Os objetivos do presente estudo foram avaliar os níveis de adropina e irisina em indivíduos caquéticos e não caquéticos e as relações entre os níveis dessas proteínas e os parâmetros clínicos e laboratoriais em pacientes com ICFEN.

Métodos:

Os prontuários de pacientes atendidos no ambulatório de cardiologia para ICFER foram triados. Aqueles com ICFER caquéticos foram identificados e constituíram o grupo de estudo (n = 44; idade média, 65,4 ± 11,2 anos; 61,4% de homens). Aqueles com ICFER e sem perda de peso foram arrolados como grupo controle (n = 42; idade média, 61,0 ± 16,5 anos; 64,3% de homens). Os níveis séricos de adropina e irisina de todos os pacientes foram medidos. Considerou-se significativo um p-valor < 0,05.

Resultados:

Os níveis séricos de adropina e irisina foram significativamente mais altos nos pacientes caquéticos do que nos controles [adropina (ng/l) 286,1 (231,3-404,0) vs 213,7 (203,1-251,3); p < 0,001; irisina (µg/ml) 2,6 (2,2-4,4) vs 2,1 (1,8-2,4); p = 0,001]. Os níveis séricos de adropina e irisina correlacionaram-se positivamente com os níveis de peptídeo natriurético cerebral (BNP) e a classe funcional da New York Heart Association (NYHA), e negativamente com o índice de massa corporal (IMC) e os níveis séricos de albumina (todos os p-valores < 0,001). Na análise multivariada, a adropina foi o único preditor independente de caquexia nos pacientes com ICFER (OR 1,021; IC 95% 1,004−1,038; p = 0,017).

Conclusões:

Os resultados sugerem que a adropina e a irisina possam ser novos marcadores de caquexia cardíaca em pacientes com ICFER. Adropina e irisina estão relacionadas com a gravidade da insuficiência cardíaca.
