Associations between Left Ventricular Cavity Size and Cardiac Function and Overload Determined by Natriuretic Peptide Levels and a Covariance Structure Analysis.

ABSTRACT: The effects of left ventricular (LV) cavity size on cardiac function and overload have not yet been fully elucidated. We performed a covariance structure analysis and drew theoretical path models to clarify the effects of hemodynamic parameters on the stroke volume index (SVI) as a marker of cardiac function and on the plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level as a marker of cardiac overload. We simultaneously measured various hemodynamic parameters and the BNP levels during cardiac catheterization in 1,715 inpatients of our institution. The current path models tested the validity of the Frank-Starling law in patients with heart failure using the SVI, the LV end-systolic volume index (LVESVI) and the LV end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI). Using the BNP levels, the path models clearly demonstrated that LVESVI substantially augmented cardiac overload, whereas LVEDVI palliated this parameter. These volume indices exerted opposite effects on cardiac function and overload. These results advance the understanding of the relationships between LV cavity size and both cardiac function and overload and indicate the increasing importance of LV diastolic volume in heart failure and the utility of LVESVI as an important marker of cardiac remodeling for further relevant studies.

Project description:AimsNatriuretic peptides have reportedly been associated with cardiac hypertrophy and insulin resistance; however, it has not been established if B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is associated with either insulin resistance or cardiac remodelling in a population with normal plasma BNP levels. We investigated the relationship among plasma BNP levels, insulin resistance, and left ventricular (LV) remodelling in a population with normal physiological plasma BNP levels.Methods and resultsAmong 1632 individuals who participated in annual health checks between 2005 and 2008 in Arita-cho, Saga, Japan, 675 individuals [median (interquartile range) for age 62 (51-69) years; 227 men (34%)] with LV ejection fraction 50% and BNP level <35 pg/mL were enrolled in this study. Insulin resistance was assessed using homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). LV geometry, including LV concentric remodelling, was classified based on relative wall thickness (RWT) and LV mass index values derived from echocardiographic findings. Factors associated with insulin resistance and LV geometry were investigated using multiple logistic regression analysis. Tertiles of BNP were inversely associated with HOMA-IR [1st tertile, 1.33 (0.76-1.74); 2nd tertile, 1.05 (0.72-1.59); 3rd tertile, 0.95 (0.66-1.58), P = 0.005]. Lower BNP was associated with the prevalence of insulin resistance, defined as HOMA-IR ≥1.37, even after full multivariate adjustment [1 SD increment in BNP = adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 0.740; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.601-0.912; P = 0.005]. LV concentric remodelling (RWT >0.42; LV mass index ≤115 g/m2 in men and ≤95 g/m2 in women) was observed in 107 (16%) participants, while normal LV geometry (RWT ≤0.42; LV mass index ≤115 g/m2 in men and ≤95 g/m2 in women) was seen in 423 (63%), and LV hypertrophy (LV mass index >115 g/m2 in men and >95 g/m2 in women) in 145 (21%). Both low BNP level and higher insulin resistance were independently linked to LV concentric remodelling after multivariate adjustment (1 SD increment in BNP = aOR 0.714, 95% CI 0.544-0.938, P = 0.015; HOMA-IR ≥ 1.37 vs. <1.37: aOR 1.694, 95% CI 1.004-2.857, P = 0.048, respectively).ConclusionsLower BNP levels are linked to either insulin resistance or LV concentric remodelling in a population with normal plasma BNP levels, suggesting that participants with lower natriuretic peptide level might be vulnerable to the development of metabolic disorders and LV morphological abnormalities.

Project description:BackgroundElevated N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is associated with clinically overt heart failure (HF). However, whether it provides additive prognostic information for incident HF beyond traditional risk factors and left ventricular (LV) mass index among multi-ethnic asymptomatic individuals has not yet been determined. We studied the associations of plasma NT-proBNP and magnetic resonance imaging defined LV mass index with incident HF in an asymptomatic multi-ethnic population.Methods and resultsA total of 5597 multi-ethnic participants without clinically apparent cardiovascular disease underwent baseline measurement of NT-proBNP and were followed for 5.5±1.1 years. Among them, 4163 also underwent baseline cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. During follow-up, 111 participants experienced incident HF. Higher NT-proBNP was significantly associated with incident HF, independent of baseline age, sex, ethnicity, systolic blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, smoking, estimated glomerular filtration rate, medications (anti-hypertensive and statin), LV mass index, and interim myocardial infarction (hazard ratio: 1.95 per 1U log NT-proBNP increment, 95% CI 1.54-2.46, P<0.001). This relationship held among different ethnic groups, non-Hispanic whites, African-Americans, and Hispanics. Most importantly, NT-proBNP provided additive prognostic value beyond both traditional risk factors and LV mass index for predicting incident HF (integrated discrimination index=0.046, P<0.001; net reclassification index; 6-year risk probability categorized by <3%, 3-10%, >10% =0.175, P=0.019; category-less net reclassification index=0.561, P<0.001).ConclusionsPlasma NT-proBNP provides incremental prognostic information beyond traditional risk factors and the magnetic resonance imaging-determined LV mass index for incident symptomatic HF in an asymptomatic multi-ethnic population.Clinical trial registrationURL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.
