Influence of growth and metabolic markers on hs-troponin T and NT-proBNP levels in healthy children.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

As part of the LIFE Child study, we previously described the associations between N-terminal-pro-hormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and hs-troponin T (hs-TnT) levels and an individual's sex, age and pubertal status, as well as with body mass index (BMI) and serum lipid levels. For NT-proBNP, we found inverse associations with advancing puberty, increasing BMI and serum lipid levels. These findings led us to further question the putative influences of the developing individual's metabolic and growth status as represented by levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and IGF-1-binding protein-3 (IGF-BP3) as well as hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and Cystatin C (CysC).

Material and methods

Serum values, medical history and anthropometric data provided by 2522 children aged 0.25-18 years were collected and analyzed as per study protocol.

Results

A strong negative association between NT-proBNP values and IGF-1, IGF-BP3 and HbA1c levels was identified. For IGF-BP3, this interaction was modulated by sex and age, for HbA1c only by age. For hs-TnT, a positive association was found with IGF-BP3, IGF-1 and CysC. The association between hs-TnT and IGF-1 was sex dependent. The association between CysC and hs-TnT was stronger in girls, but the interaction with age was only seen in boys. Between hs-TnT and HbA1c, the association was significantly negative and modulated by age.

Conclusion

Based on our large pediatric cohort, we could identify age- and sex-dependent interactions between the metabolic status represented by IGF-1, IGF-BP3, CysC and HbA1c levels and the cardiac markers NT-proBNP and hs-TnT.

Project description:BackgroundMineral metabolism (MM) system and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-ProBNP) have been shown to add prognostic value in patients with stable coronary artery disease (SCAD). However, the influence of NT-ProBNP on the prognostic role of MM in patients with SCAD has not been shown yet. The objective of this study is to assess the influence of NT-ProBNP on the prognostic role of MM markers in patients with SCAD.MethodsWe analyzed the prognostic value of MM markers (parathormone (PTH), klotho, phosphate, calcidiol (25-hydroxyvitamin D3), and fibroblast growth factor-23) in 964 patients with SCAD and NT-ProBNP > 125 pg/mL vs. patient with NT-ProBNP ≤ 125 pg/mL included in five hospitals in Spain. The main outcome was the combination of death, heart failure, and ischemic events (any acute coronary syndrome, ischemic stroke, or transient ischemic attack).ResultsA total of 622 patients had NT-proBNP > 125 pg/mL and 342 patients had NT-ProBNP ≤ 125 pg/mL. The median follow-up was 5.1 years. In the group of NT-proBNP > 125 pg/mL, the patients were older, and there were more females and smokers than in the group of patients with normal NT-proBNP. Additionally, the proportion of patients with hypertension, atrial fibrillation, ejection fraction < 40%, cerebrovascular attack, or prior coronary artery bypass graft was higher in the high NT-proBNP group. In the high NT-proBNP patients, the predictors of poor prognosis were PTH (HR = 1.06 (1.01-1.10), p < 0.001) and NT-proBNP (HR = 1.02 (1.01-1.03), p = 0.011), along with age (HR = 1.039 (1.02-1.06), p < 0.001), prior coronary artery bypass graft (HR = 1.624 (1.02-2.59), p = 0.041), treatment with statins (HR = 0.32 (0.19-0.53), p < 0.001), insulin (HR = 2.49 (1.59-4.09), p < 0.001), angiotensin receptor blockers (HR = 1.73 (1.16-2.56), p = 0.007), nitrates (HR = 1.65 (1.10-2.45), p = 0.014), and proton pump inhibitors (HR = 2.75 (1.74-4.36), p < 0.001). In the NT-proBNP ≤ 125 pg/mL subgroup, poor prognosis predictors were plasma levels of non-high-density lipoprotein (non-HDL) cholesterol (HR = 1.01 (1.00-1.02), p = 0.014) and calcidiol (HR = 0.96 (0.92-0.99), p = 0.045), as well as treatment with verapamil (HR = 11.28 (2.54-50.00), p = 0.001), and dihydropyridines (HR = 3.16 (1.63-6.13), p = 0.001).ConclusionIn patients with SCAD and NT-ProBNP > 125 pg/mL, PTH and NT-ProBNP, which are markers related to ventricular damage, are predictors of poor outcome. In the subgroup of patients with NT-ProBNP ≤ 125 pgm/L, calcidiol and non-HDL cholesterol, which are more related to vascular damage, are the independent predictors of poor outcome. Then, in patients with SCAD, baseline NT-ProBNP may influence the type of biomarker that is effective in risk prediction.

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a progressive disease, and early recognition and management may reflect an important strategy to reduce its disease burden. In this study, we evaluated plasma levels of three biomarkers - N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP), Troponin-T, and growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) - in patients with paroxysmal AF (pAF) (≤7 days of continuous AF, n = 323) and persistent AF ((AF duration > 7 days and < 1 year, n = 84) using patients from AF RISK study (NCT01510210). In this AF-RISK sub-study, patients with persistent AF experienced more symptoms (higher European Heart Rhythm Association class (p < 0.001)), had a higher comorbidity burden (p < 0.001), and had more unfavorable echocardiographic parameters (p < 0.001). All three biomarker levels were significantly higher in patients with persistent AF as compared to those with pAF (p < 0.001). Multivariate linear regression analyses showed that age (beta-coefficient for NTproBNP: 0.21; GDF-15: 0.41; Troponin-T: 0.23) and CHA2DS2-VASc (beta-coefficient for NTproBNP: 0.20; GDF-15: 0.25; Troponin-T: 0.27) were determinants of all three biomarkers, and that persistent AF determined NTproBNP (beta-coefficient: 0.34), but not Troponin-T and GDF-15. More detailed analysis of CHA2DS2-VASc score showed that for all three biomarkers age, coronary artery disease and heart failure were determinants of plasma biomarkers levels, whereas sex determined NTproBNP and Troponin T, and hypertension determined NTproBNP and GDF15. Overall, this study therefore suggests that in AF, Troponin T and GDF15, and especially NTproBNP could be used to detect those patients with more persistent form of AF that may warrant more aggressive treatment of AF and concomitant comorbidities. Future studies, however, are essential to evaluate if more aggressive AF treatment and risk factor management will reduce disease progression and holds a novel therapeutic intervention to reduce the burden of AF.
