Association of myeloperoxidase with total and cardiovascular mortality in individuals undergoing coronary angiography--the LURIC study.

ABSTRACT: The phagocytic enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO) acts as a front-line defender against microorganisms. However, increased MPO levels have been found to be associated with complex and calcified atherosclerotic lesions and incident cardiovascular disease. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate a predictive role of MPO, a biomarker of inflammation and oxidative stress, for total and cardiovascular mortality in patients referred to coronary angiography.MPO plasma concentrations along with eight MPO polymorphisms were determined in 3036 participants of the Ludwigshafen Risk and Cardiovascular Health study (median follow-up 7.75 years). MPO concentrations were positively associated with age, diabetes, smoking, markers of systemic inflammation (interleukin-6, fibrinogen, C-reactive protein, serum amyloid A) and vascular damage (vascular cellular adhesion molecule-1 and intercellular adhesion molecule-1) but negatively associated with HDL-cholesterol and apolipoprotein A-I. After adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors MPO concentrations in the highest versus the lowest quartile were associated with a 1.34-fold risk (95% CI: 1.09-1.67) for total mortality. In the adjusted model the hazard ratio for cardiovascular mortality in the highest MPO quartile was 1.42 (95% CI: 1.07-1.88). Five MPO polymorphisms were positively associated with MPO concentrations but not with mortality. Using Mendelian randomization, we did not obtain evidence for a causal association of MPO with either total or cardiovascular mortality.MPO concentrations but not genetic variants at the MPO locus are independently associated with risk for total and cardiovascular mortality in coronary artery disease patients.

Project description:Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurred in 12.8% of patients undergoing surgery and is associated with increased mortality. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a well-known risk for death and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Effects of AKI and CKD on patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) remain incompletely defined. The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between acute and CKD and mortality in patients undergoing CAG. The cohort study included 49,194 patients in the multicenter cohort from January 2007 to December 2018. Cox regression analyses and Fine-Gray proportional subdistribution risk regression analysis are used to examine the association between kidney disease and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. In the present study, 13,989 (28.4%) patients had kidney disease. During follow-up, 6144 patients died, of which 4508 (73.4%) were due to CVD. AKI without CKD (HR: 1.54, 95% CI: 1.36-1.74), CKD without AKI (HR: 2.02, 95% CI: 1.88-2.17), AKI with CKD (HR: 3.26, 95% CI: 2.90-3.66), and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD; HR: 5.63, 95% CI: 4.40-7.20) were significantly associated with all-cause mortality. Adjusted HR (95% CIs) for cardiovascular mortality was significantly elevated among patients with AKI without CKD (1.78 [1.54-2.06]), CKD without AKI (2.28 [2.09-2.49]), AKI with CKD (3.99 [3.47-4.59]), and ESKD (6.46 [4.93-8.46]). In conclusion, this study shows that acute or CKD is present in up to one-third of patients undergoing CAG and is associated with a substantially increased mortality. These findings highlight the importance of perioperative management of kidney function, especially in patients with CKD.Impact StatementWhat is already known on this subject? Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurred in 12.8% of patients undergoing surgery and is linked to a 22.2% increase in mortality. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a well-known risk for death and cardiovascular events. Effects of AKI and CKD on patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) remain incompletely defined.What do the results of this study add? This study shows that kidney disease is present in up to one-third of patients undergoing CAG and is associated with a substantially increased mortality. AKI and CKD are independent predicators for mortality in patients undergoing CAG.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? These findings highlight the importance of perioperative management of kidney function, especially in patients with CKD.
