Increased perioperative b-type natriuretic peptide associates with heart failure hospitalization or heart failure death after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

ABSTRACT: Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of hospitalization and mortality. Plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is an established diagnostic and prognostic ambulatory HF biomarker. We hypothesized that increased perioperative BNP independently associates with HF hospitalization or HF death up to 5 yr after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.The authors conducted a two-institution, prospective, observational study of 1,025 subjects (mean age = 64 ± 10 yr SD) undergoing isolated primary coronary artery bypass graft surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Plasma BNP was measured preoperatively and on postoperative days 1-5. The study outcome was hospitalization or death from HF, with HF events confirmed by reviewing hospital and death records. Cox proportional hazards analyses were performed with multivariable adjustments for clinical risk factors. Preoperative and peak postoperative BNP were added to the multivariable clinical model in order to assess additional predictive benefit.One hundred five subjects experienced an HF event (median time to first event = 1.1 yr). Median follow-up for subjects who did not have an HF event = 4.2 yr. When individually added to the multivariable clinical model, higher preoperative and peak postoperative BNP concentrations each, independently associated with the HF outcome (log10 preoperative BNP hazard ratio = 1.93; 95% CI, 1.30-2.88; P = 0.001; log10 peak postoperative BNP hazard ratio = 3.38; 95% CI, 1.45-7.65; P = 0.003).Increased perioperative BNP concentrations independently associate with HF hospitalization or HF death during the 5 yr after primary coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Clinical trials may be warranted to assess whether medical management focused on reducing preoperative and longitudinal postoperative BNP concentrations associates with decreased HF after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Project description:BackgroundCoronary artery bypass grafting success is limited by vein graft failure (VGF). Understanding the factors associated with VGF may improve patient outcomes.Methods and resultsWe examined 1828 participants in the Project of Ex Vivo Vein Graft Engineering via Transfection IV (PREVENT IV) trial undergoing protocol-mandated follow-up angiography 12 to 18 months post-coronary artery bypass grafting or earlier clinically driven angiography. Outcomes included patient- and graft-level angiographic VGF (≥75% stenosis or occlusion). Variables were selected by using Fast False Selection Rate methodology. We examined relationships between variables and VGF in patient- and graft-level models by using logistic regression without and with generalized estimating equations. At 12 to 18 months post-coronary artery bypass grafting, 782 of 1828 (42.8%) patients had VGF, and 1096 of 4343 (25.2%) vein grafts had failed. Demographic and clinical characteristics were similar between patients with and without VGF, although VGF patients had longer surgical times, worse target artery quality, longer graft length, and they more frequently underwent endoscopic vein harvesting. After multivariable adjustment, longer surgical duration (odds ratio per 10-minute increase, 1.05; 95% confidence interval, 1.03-1.07), endoscopic vein harvesting (odds ratio, 1.41; 95% confidence interval, 1.16-1.71), poor target artery quality (odds ratio, 1.43; 95% confidence interval, 1.11-1.84), and postoperative use of clopidogrel or ticlopidine (odds ratio, 1.35; 95% confidence interval, 1.07-1.69) were associated with patient-level VGF. The predicted likelihood of VGF in the graft-level model ranged from 12.1% to 63.6%.ConclusionsVGF is common and associated with patient and surgical factors. These findings may help identify patients with risk factors for VGF and inform the development of interventions to reduce VGF.Clinical trial registration urlhttp://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Project description:ObjectiveCorin is a natriuretic peptide-converting enzyme that cleaves precursor pro-B-type natriuretic peptide to active B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) (diuretic, natriuretic, and vasodilatory properties). Increased plasma BNP is a known diagnostic and prognostic heart failure (HF) biomarker in ambulatory and surgical patients. Recent studies indicate that plasma corin is decreased significantly in chronic HF patients, yet perioperative plasma corin concentrations have not been assessed in cardiac surgical patients. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on plasma corin concentrations and to assess the association between change in perioperative plasma corin concentration and long-term postoperative HF hospitalization or death. It was hypothesized that plasma corin concentrations decrease significantly from preoperative baseline during postoperative days 1 to 4 and that hospitalization or death from HF during the 5 years after surgery is associated with higher relative difference (preoperative baseline to postoperative nadir) in plasma corin concentrations.DesignProspective observational pilot study.SettingTwo institutions: Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts and the Texas Heart Institute, St. Luke's Hospital, Houston, Texas.Participants99 patients of European ancestry who underwent isolated primary CABG surgery with CPB.InterventionsNonemergency isolated primary CABG surgery with CPB.Measurements and main resultsPlasma corin concentration was assessed preoperatively and at 4 postoperative time points (postoperative days 1-4). HF hospitalization or HF death events during the 5 years after surgery were identified by review of hospital and death records. Postoperative plasma corin concentrations were significantly lower than preoperative baseline concentrations (p<0.0001). Perioperative corin concentrations were significantly higher in males than in females (p<0.0001). Fifteen patients experienced long-term postoperative HF events. Patients who experienced HF hospitalization or HF death during study follow-up had significantly higher relative difference in plasma corin concentration (preoperative baseline to postoperative nadir) than patients who did not experience HF events during study follow-up (p=0.03).ConclusionsPlasma corin concentrations decrease significantly from preoperative concentrations after CABG surgery. HF hospitalization or HF death during the 5 years after CABG surgery with CPB is associated with larger relative decrease in plasma corin concentration from preoperative baseline. Further investigation is warranted to determine the role of corin in postoperative HF biology.

Project description:ObjectiveApproximately 10% of patients undergoing cardiac surgery have perioperative myocardial injury. A recent genome-wide association study identified an association between myocardial infarction in nonsurgical populations and common genetic variants on chromosome 9p21. We hypothesized that these variants are also associated with perioperative myocardial injury after isolated primary coronary artery bypass graft surgery.MethodsIn a prospective observational study of 846 Caucasian patients undergoing primary coronary bypass surgery at 2 US centers, we genotyped 61 linkage-disequilibrium tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms, encompassing 436 kbp of the 9p21 region. A multivariable logistic model was used to adjust for previously identified clinical covariates of perioperative myocardial injury. Perioperative myocardial injury was defined as a postoperative day 1 cardiac troponin I in the top 10th percentile (>9.13 microg/L) of the cohort. Multiple testing of single nucleotide polymorphisms was corrected for with family-wise errors.ResultsPrior myocardial infarction and longer cardiopulmonary bypass time were significant independent predictors of perioperative myocardial injury. Levels of postoperative cardiac troponin I were incrementally increased for each additional copy of the risk alleles of 3 single nucleotide polymorphisms: rs10116277, rs6475606, and rs2383207. Adjusted additive odds ratios ranged between 1.64 and 1.79 (asymptotic P value between 3.7 x 10(-3) and 6 x 10(-4)) and remained significantly associated with perioperative myocardial injury even after accounting for clinical covariates including severity of coronary disease, and multiple comparisons.ConclusionsWe have now demonstrated that common genetic variants in the same 9p21 locus, previously known to be associated with myocardial infarction in nonsurgical populations, are also associated with perioperative myocardial injury after coronary artery bypass grafting. Further investigation is warranted to elucidate functional mechanisms.
