Ceruloplasmin and heart failure in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study.

ABSTRACT: Ceruloplasmin (Cp) decreases nitric oxide bioavailability in blood and has been associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) in clinical studies. We assessed the associations between Cp and incident heart failure (HF), death, and CVD in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study.Cp was measured at ARIC visit 4 (1996-1998). We studied 9240 individuals without HF or CVD at ARIC visit 4 and followed them for a mean of 10.5 years. Genome-wide association study was performed to identify genetic determinants of Cp levels and evaluate their association with incident HF in ARIC participants. Cp levels (mean±SD) were higher in women versus men (335±79 versus 258±44 mg/L; P<0.0001), women on versus not on hormone-replacement therapy (398±89 versus 291±60 mg/L; P<0.0001), and African Americans versus whites (299±63 versus 293±74 mg/L; P=0.0005). After adjusting for traditional risk factors, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T, higher levels of Cp were associated with HF (hazard ratio, 1.44; 95% confidence interval, 1.13-1.83) and mortality (hazard ratio, 1.38; 95% confidence interval, 1.11-1.63). A locus on the ceruloplasmin gene on chromosome 3 was significantly associated with Cp levels (normal 295.56±77.60 mg/L; heterozygote 316.72±88.02 mg/L; homozygote 331.04±85.40 mg/L; P=8.3×10(-13)) but not with incident HF. After adjustment for traditional risk factors, Cp levels were also weekly associated with CVD.Cp was associated with incident HF, mortality, and CVD in the ARIC population. A single locus on chromosome 3 was associated with Cp levels but not with HF.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Previous studies suggest that heart failure (HF) is an independent risk factor for cognitive decline. A better understanding of the relationship between HF, cognitive status, and cognitive decline in a community-based sample may help clinicians understand disease risk. OBJECTIVE:To examine whether persons with HF have a higher prevalence of cognitive impairment and whether persons developing HF have more rapid cognitive decline. DESIGN:This observational cohort study of American adults in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study has two components: cross-sectional analysis examining the association between prevalent HF and cognition using multinomial logistic regression, and change over time analysis detailing the association between incident HF and change in cognition over 15 years. PARTICIPANTS:Among visit 5 (2011-2013) participants (median age 75 years), 6495 had neurocognitive information available for cross-sectional analysis. Change over time analysis examined the 5414 participants who had cognitive scores and no prevalent HF at visit 4 (1996-1998). MEASUREMENTS:The primary outcome was cognitive status, classified as normal, mild cognitive impairment [MCI], and dementia on the basis of standardized cognitive tests (delayed word recall, word fluency, and digit symbol substitution). Cognitive change was examined over a 15-year period. Control variables included socio-demographic, vascular, and smoking/drinking measures. RESULTS:At visit 5, participants with HF had a higher prevalence of dementia (adjusted relative risk ratio [RRR] = 1.60 [95% CI 1.13, 2.25]) and MCI (RRR = 1.36 [1.12, 1.64]) than those without HF. A decline in cognition between visits 4 and 5 was - 0.07 standard deviation units [- 0.13, - 0.01] greater among persons who developed HF compared to those who did not. Results did not differ by ejection fraction. CONCLUSION:HF is associated with neurocognitive dysfunction and decline independent of other co-morbid conditions. Further study is needed to determine the underlying pathophysiology.

Project description:Essentials Ceruloplasmin (CP) is an acute-phase reactant and a potential biomarker of atherothrombotic risk. We assessed associations between CP and venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk in 9933 individuals. Higher circulating CP but not CP-related genes were associated with greater incident VTE rates. Circulating CP could be considered a non-causal biomarker of VTE risk in the community. SUMMARY: Background Ceruloplasmin (CP) is an acute-phase reactant and a potential biomarker of atherothrombotic risk. We assessed the associations between CP, CP-associated genetic variants and incident venous thomboembolism (VTE) in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study. Methods and results In an observational study, 9933 men and women aged 53-75 years without prevalent VTE were included in 1996-1998 and followed through 2011. Circulating CP was measured in stored blood samples obtained in 1996-1998. Polymorphisms rs11708215 and rs13072552, which have been previously associated with CP concentrations, were measured in 8439 participants. VTEs were identified from hospital discharge codes and validated by physician review of medical records and imaging reports. Over a mean of 10.5 years of follow-up, 376 cases of VTE were identified. The association between circulating CP, CP-associated polymorphisms and the incidence of VTE was estimated. After adjustment for traditional risk factors and biomarkers, higher concentrations of circulating CP were associated with greater incident VTE rates (hazard ratio 1.82, 95% confidence interval 1.12-2.95, comparing the 87.5-100th percentile with the bottom quartile). Both rs11708215 and rs13072552 were associated with CP concentrations but not with VTE risk. Conclusions Even though high CP concentrations were associated with an increased VTE risk, CP-associated genetic variants were not associated with a higher risk of VTE. Our results suggest that circulating CP concentrations may not be causally related to the risk of incident VTE.
