ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Body mass index (BMI) is a known confounder for natriuretic peptides, but its influence on other biomarkers is less well described. We investigated whether BMI interacts with biomarkers' association with prognosis in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). METHODS AND RESULTS: B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI), galectin-3, serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (sNGAL), and urine NGAL were measured serially in patients with AHF during hospitalization in the AKINESIS (Acute Kidney Injury Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin Evaluation of Symptomatic Heart Failure) study. Cox regression analysis was used to determine the association of biomarkers and their interaction with BMI for 30-day, 90-day and 1-year composite outcomes of death or HF readmission. Among 866 patients, 21.2%, 29.7% and 46.8% had normal (18.5-24.9 kg/m2), overweight (25-29.9 kg/m2) or obese (≥ 30 kg/m2) BMIs on admission, respectively. Admission values of BNP and hs-cTnI were negatively associated with BMI, whereas galectin-3 and sNGAL were positively associated with BMI. Admission BNP and hs-cTnI levels were associated with the composite outcome within 30 days, 90 days and 1 year. Only BNP had a significant interaction with BMI. When BNP was analyzed by BMI category, its association with the composite outcome attenuated at higher BMIs and was no longer significant in obese individuals. Findings were similar when evaluated by the last-measured biomarkers and BMIs. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with AHF, only BNP had a significant interaction with BMI for the outcomes, with its association attenuating as BMI increased; hs-cTnI was prognostic, regardless of BMI.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Galectin-3, a biomarker of inflammation and fibrosis, can be associated with renal and myocardial damage and dysfunction in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). METHODS AND RESULTS: We retrospectively analyzed 790 patients with AHF who were enrolled in the AKINESIS study. During hospitalization, patients with galectin-3 elevation (> 25.9 ng/mL) on admission more commonly had acute kidney injury (assessed by KDIGO criteria), renal tubular damage (peak urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin [uNGAL] > 150 ng/dL) and myocardial injury (≥ 20% increase in the peak high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I [hs-cTnI] values compared to admission). They less commonly had ≥ 30% reduction in B-type natriuretic peptide from admission to last measured value. In multivariable linear regression analysis, galectin-3 was negatively associated with estimated glomerular filtration rate and positively associated with uNGAL and hs-cTnI. Higher galectin-3 was associated with renal replacement therapy, inotrope use and mortality during hospitalization. In univariable Cox regression analysis, higher galectin-3 was associated with increased risk for the composite of death or rehospitalization due to HF and death alone at 1 year. After multivariable adjustment, higher galectin-3 levels were associated only with death. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with AHF, higher galectin-3 values were associated with renal dysfunction, renal tubular damage and myocardial injury, and they predicted worse outcomes.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Multiple different pathophysiologic processes can contribute to worsening renal function (WRF) in acute heart failure. METHODS AND RESULTS: We retrospectively analyzed 787 patients with acute heart failure for the relationship between changes in serum creatinine and biomarkers including brain natriuretic peptide, high sensitivity cardiac troponin I, galectin 3, serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, and urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin. WRF was defined as an increase of greater than or equal to 0.3 mg/dL or 50% in creatinine within first 5 days of hospitalization. WRF was observed in 25% of patients. Changes in biomarkers and creatinine were poorly correlated (r ≤ 0.21) and no biomarker predicted WRF better than creatinine. In the multivariable Cox analysis, brain natriuretic peptide and high sensitivity cardiac troponin I, but not WRF, were significantly associated with the 1-year composite of death or heart failure hospitalization. WRF with an increasing urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin predicted an increased risk of heart failure hospitalization. CONCLUSIONS: Biomarkers were not able to predict WRF better than creatinine. The 1-year outcomes were associated with biomarkers of cardiac stress and injury but not with WRF, whereas a kidney injury biomarker may prognosticate WRF for heart failure hospitalization.
