We assessed differences in long-term all-cause and cardiovascular (CV) mortality in heart failure (HF) outpatients based on the etiology of HF. Consecutive patients admitted to the HF Clinic from August 2001 to September 2019 (<i>N</i> = 2587) were considered for inclusion. HF etiology was divided into ischemic heart disease (IHD), dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), hypertensive heart disease, alcoholic cardiomyopathy, drug-induced cardiomyopathy (DICM), valvular heart disease, and hypertrophic cardi ...[more]

Project description:BackgroundPatients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) are at high risk of upcoming events, in particular heart failure (HF), but reliable stratification methods are lacking. Our goal was to evaluate the potential role of circulating miRNAs as prognostic biomarkers in patients presenting with MI.Methods and resultsWe conducted a prospective study among 311 consecutive patients hospitalized with MI (65% ST-segment elevation MI & median age of 55 years) with long-term follow-up. An initial screening was conducted to select candidate miRNAs, with subsequent study of 14 candidate miRNAs. The primary outcome was the composite of hospital admission for HF or cardiovascular death. During a mean follow-up of 2.1 years miR-21-5p, miR-23a-3p, miR27b-3p, miR-122-5p, miR210-3p, and miR-221-3p reliably predicted the primary outcome. Multivariate Cox regression analyses highlighted that miR-210-3p [hazard ratio (HR) 2.65 per 1 SD increase, P < 0.001], miR-23a-3p (HR 2.11 per 1 SD increase, P < 0.001), and miR-221-3p (HR 2.03 per 1 SD increase, P < 0.001) were able to accurately predict the primary outcome, as well as cardiovascular death, HF hospitalizations, and long-term New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class. These three miRNAs clearly improved the performance of multivariate clinical models: ΔC-statistic = 0.10 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.03-0.17], continuous net reclassification index = 34.8% (95%CI, 5.8-57.4%), and integrated discrimination improvement (P < 0.001).ConclusionsThis is the largest study evaluating the prognostic value of circulating miRNAs for HF-related events among patients with MI. We show that several miRNAs predict HF hospitalizations, cardiovascular mortality, and poor long-term NYHA status and improve current risk prediction methods.

Project description:We sought to identify prognostic factors of long-term mortality, specific for the underlying etiology of chronic systolic heart failure (CHF).Between 1995 and 2009 baseline characteristics, treatment and follow-up data from 2318 CHF-patients due to ischemic (ICM; 1100 patients) or dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM; 1218 patients) were prospectively compared. To calculate hazard ratios with 95%-confidence intervals cox regression was used. We respectively established etiology-specific multivariable models of independent prognostic factors. During the follow-up period of up to 14.8 years (mean = 53.1 ± 43.5 months; 10,264 patient-years) 991 deaths (42.8%) occurred. In the ICM-cohort, 5-year-survival was 53.4% (95% CI: 49.9-56.7%), whereas in DCM-patients it was higher (68.1% (95% CI: 65.1-71.0%)). Age, ejection fraction, or hyponatremia were independent predictors for mortality in both cohorts, whereas diabetes, COPD, atrial fibrillation and a heart rate of ≥ 80/min carried independent predictive power only in ICM-patients.This study demonstrates the disparity of prognostic value of clinically derived risk factors between the two main causes of CHF. The effects of covariables in DCM-patients were lower, suggesting a less modifiable disease through risk factors considering mortality risk. An etiology-specific prognostic model may improve accuracy of survival estimations in CHF.

Project description:Objective To assess associations between risks of cardiovascular disease, heart failure, and all cause mortality and different diabetes drugs in people with type 2 diabetes, particularly newer agents, including gliptins and thiazolidinediones (glitazones).Design Open cohort study.Setting 1243 general practices contributing data to the QResearch database in England.Participants 469 688 people with type 2 diabetes aged 25-84 years between 1 April 2007 and 31 January 2015.Exposures Diabetes drugs (glitazones, gliptins, metformin, sulphonylureas, insulin, other) alone and in combination.Main outcome measure First recorded diagnoses of cardiovascular disease, heart failure, and all cause mortality recorded on the patients' primary care, mortality, or hospital record. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios for diabetes treatments, adjusting for potential confounders.Results During follow-up, 21 308 patients (4.5%) received prescriptions for glitazones and 32 533 (6.9%) received prescriptions for gliptins. Compared with non-use, gliptins were significantly associated with an 18% decreased risk of all cause mortality, a 14% decreased risk of heart failure, and no significant change in risk of cardiovascular disease; corresponding values for glitazones were significantly decreased risks of 23% for all cause mortality, 26% for heart failure, and 25% for cardiovascular disease. Compared with no current treatment, there were no significant associations between monotherapy with gliptins and risk of any complications. Dual treatment with gliptins and metformin was associated with a decreased risk of all three outcomes (reductions of 38% for heart failure, 33% for cardiovascular disease, and 48% for all cause mortality). Triple treatment with metformin, sulphonylureas, and gliptins was associated with a decreased risk of all three outcomes (reductions of 40% for heart failure, 30% for cardiovascular disease, and 51% for all cause mortality). Compared with no current treatment, monotherapy with glitazone was associated with a 50% decreased risk of heart failure, and dual treatment with glitazones and metformin was associated with a decreased risk of all three outcomes (reductions of 50% for heart failure, 54% for cardiovascular disease, and 45% for all cause mortality); dual treatment with glitazones and sulphonylureas was associated with risk reductions of 35% for heart failure and 25% for cardiovascular disease; triple treatment with metformin, sulphonylureas, and glitazones was associated with decreased risks of all three outcomes (reductions of 46% for heart failure, 41% for cardiovascular disease, and 56% for all cause mortality).Conclusions There are clinically important differences in risk of cardiovascular disease, heart failure, and all cause mortality between different diabetes drugs alone and in combination. Overall, use of gliptins or glitazones was associated with decreased risks of heart failure, cardiovascular disease, and all cause mortality compared with non-use of these drugs. These results, which do not account for levels of adherence or dosage information and which are subject to confounding by indication, might have implications for prescribing of diabetes drugs.

Project description:AimsThis meta-analysis investigated the dose-response relationship between circulating galectin-3 levels and adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF).Methods and resultsPubMed and Embase were screened for studies on galectin-3 and HF. The outcomes of interest were all-cause mortality (ACM), and all-cause mortality or HF-related rehospitalization (ACM/HFR), with a follow-up time of more than 6 months. For categorical variables, comparisons between groups with the highest and lowest galectin-3 levels were pooled. For continuous variables, the risks of ACM and ACM/HFR increase per 1-standard deviation (SD) and 1-unit after logarithmic transformation galectin-3 levels were pooled. A random-effects model was employed to calculate the pooled results, and all pooled results were expressed as hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Besides, a dose-response analysis was performed. Twenty-four cohort studies were included. In HF patients, higher circulating galectin-3 levels were significantly associated with a higher risk of long-term ACM (HR, 1.65; 95% CI 1.28-2.13; I2 = 66%), and 1 ng/mL increase in galectin-3 was associated with a 4% (HR, 1.04; 95% CI 1.02-1.06; P = 0.002) increase in hazard. Similarly, higher circulating galectin-3 levels were significantly associated with a higher risk of long-term ACM/HFR (HR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.15 to 2.00; I2 = 76%), and 1 ng/mL increase in galectin-3 was associated with a 3% (HR, 1.03; 95% CI 1.02-1.04; P < 0.001) increase in hazard. An increase of 1-SD in galectin-3 units was associated with a 29% increased hazard of long-term ACM (HR 1.29; 95% CI 1.13-1.48; I2 = 42%) and a 22% increased hazard of ACM/HFR (HR 1.22; 95% CI 1.07-1.38; I2 = 60%). Similarly, an increase of 1-log in galectin-3 units was associated with a 98% higher hazard of long-term ACM (HR 1.98; 95% CI 1.48-2.65; I2 = 41%) and an 83% higher hazard of ACM/HFR in HF patients (HR 1.83; 95% CI 1.02-3.28; I2 = 7%). Correlation analysis showed a moderate positive correlation between baseline galectin-3 and N terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide levels (r = 0.48, P = 0.045) and a weak negative correlation with eGFR (r = -0.39, P = 0.077).ConclusionsHigher circulating galectin-3 levels after hospitalization of HF patients are linearly and positively associated with the risk of long-term ACM and ACM/HFR.

Project description:Background: Systolic or diastolic blood pressure (BP) variability is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. We assessed whether BP variability measured by mean arterial pressure (MAP) was associated with increased risk of heart failure (HF) and death in individuals with or without hypertension. Methods: We evaluated 9,305 Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study participants with or without hypertension and calculated BP variability based on MAP values from visit 1 to 4 [expressed as standard deviation (SD), average real variability (ARV), coefficient of variation (CV), and variability independent of the mean (VIM)]. Multivariate-adjusted Cox regression model and restricted cubic spline curve were used to evaluate the associations of MAP variability with all-cause mortality and HF. Results: During a median follow-up of 16.8 years, 1,511 had an HF event and 2,903 died. Individuals in the highest quartile of VIM were both associated with a 21% higher risk of all-cause mortality [hazard ratio (HR), 1.21; 95% CI, 1.09-1.35] and HF (HR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.04-1.39) compared with the lowest quartile of VIM. Cubic spline curves reveal that the risk of deaths and HF increased with MAP variability when it reached a higher level. Results were similar in individuals with normotension (all-cause mortality: HR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.09-1.55; HF, HR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.12-1.98). Conclusions: In individuals with or without hypertension, greater visit-to-visit MAP variability was associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality and HF, indicating that the BP variability assessed by MAP might be a potential risk factor for HF and death.

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate the association between long term intake of dietary and supplemental calcium and death from all causes and cardiovascular disease.DesignProspective longitudinal cohort study.SettingSwedish mammography cohort, a population based cohort established in 1987-90.Participants61 433 women (born between 1914 and 1948) followed-up for a median of 19 years.Main outcome measuresPrimary outcome measures, identified from registry data, were time to death from all causes (n=11 944) and cause specific cardiovascular disease (n=3862), ischaemic heart disease (n=1932), and stroke (n=1100). Diet was assessed by food frequency questionnaires at baseline and in 1997 for 38 984 women, and intakes of calcium were estimated. Total calcium intake was the sum of dietary and supplemental calcium.ResultsThe risk patterns with dietary calcium intake were non-linear, with higher rates concentrated around the highest intakes (≥1400 mg/day). Compared with intakes between 600 and 1000 mg/day, intakes above 1400 mg/day were associated with higher death rates from all causes (hazard ratio 1.40, 95% confidence interval 1.17 to 1.67), cardiovascular disease (1 49, 1.09 to 2.02), and ischaemic heart disease (2.14, 1.48 to 3.09) but not from stroke (0.73, 0.33 to 1.65). After sensitivity analysis including marginal structural models, the higher death rate with low dietary calcium intake (<600 mg/day) or with low and high total calcium intake was no longer apparent. Use of calcium tablets (6% users; 500 mg calcium per tablet) was not on average associated with all cause or cause specific mortality but among calcium tablet users with a dietary calcium intake above 1400 mg/day the hazard ratio for all cause mortality was 2.57 (95% confidence interval 1.19 to 5.55).ConclusionHigh intakes of calcium in women are associated with higher death rates from all causes and cardiovascular disease but not from stroke.

Project description:ObjectivesTo compare age-adjusted all-cause and CVD mortality, relative to the general female population, for women registered for fertility treatment who received it and those who did not.DesignProspective cohort study; analysis of Monash IVF clinical registries data, 1975-2018, linked with National Death Index mortality data.ParticipantsAll women who registered for fertility treatment at Monash IVF (Melbourne, Victoria), 1 January 1975 - 1 January 2014, followed until 31 December 2018.Main outcome measuresStandardised mortality ratios (SMRs) for all-cause and CVD mortality, for women who did or did not undergo fertility treatment; SMRs stratified by area-level socio-economic disadvantage (SEIFA Index of Relative Socioeconomic Disadvantage [IRSD]) and (for women who underwent treatment), by stimulated cycle number and mean oocytes/cycle categories.ResultsOf 44 149 women registered for fertility treatment, 33 520 underwent treatment (66.4%), 10 629 did not. After adjustment for age, both all-cause (SMR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.54-0.62) and CVD mortality (SMR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.32-0.53) were lower than for the general female population. All-cause mortality was similar for women registered with Monash IVF who did (SMR, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.50-0.60) or did not undergo fertility treatment (SMR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.56-0.70). The SMR was lowest for both treated and untreated women in the fifth IRSD quintile (least disadvantage), but the difference was statistically significant only for untreated women. CVD mortality was lower for registered women who underwent fertility treatment (SMR, 0.29; 95% CI, 0.19-0.43) than for those who did not (SMR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.42-0.81).ConclusionFertility treatment does not increase long term all-cause or CVD mortality risk. Lower mortality among women registered for fertility treatment probably reflected their lower socio-economic disadvantage.

Project description:BackgroundHeart failure (HF) represents an accumulated burden of systemic vascular damage and is the fastest growing form of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Due to increasing HF-attributable mortality rates, we sought to assess the association of the new 2019 Pooled Cohort equations to Prevent Heart Failure (PCP-HF) risk score with CVD and all-cause mortality.MethodsWe linked data for 6333 black and white men and women aged 40-79 years, whom underwent electrocardiographic examination from the Third National Health and Nutrition Exam Survey, to National Death Index record matches. Sex- and race-specific PCP-HF risk scores were calculated using data on age, smoking, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, QRS complex duration, and antihypertensive and/or glucose-lowering medications. Cox regression estimated hazard ratios for the association of the PCP-HF risk score with CVD and all-cause mortality.ResultsIndividuals were on average 54.9 years old (51.7% women, 25.4% black) and the median 10-year HF risk was 1.6% (Q1 = 0.5, Q3 = 4.8). There were 3178 deaths, 1116 from CVD, over a median follow-up time of 22.3 years. Black women had a higher 10-year HF risk compared to white women (2.1% vs. 1.1%; p < 0.01), while no significant difference was observed in predicted HF risk between black men and white men (2.3% vs. 2.1%, p = 0.16). A two-fold higher PCP-HF risk score was associated with a significant 58% (HR = 1.58; 95% CI, 1.48-1.70; p < 0.0001) and 38% (HR = 1.38; 95% CI, 1.32-1.46; p < 0.0001) greater risk of CVD and all-cause mortality, respectively.ConclusionThe PCP-HF risk score predicts CVD and all-cause mortality, in addition to the 10-year risk of incident HF among white and black men and women. These results underline the expanded utility of the PCP-HF risk score and suggest that its implementation in the clinical and population health settings may improve primary CVD prevention in the United States.

Project description:BackgroundFew studies compared the effects of BP changes in short- and long-terms on all-cause mortality and CVD mortality.MethodsWe performed a 12.5-year follow-up study to examine the association between short- (2008 to 2010) and long-term [baseline (2004-2006) to 2010] BP changes and the risk of mortality (2010 to 2017) in the Fuxin prospective cohort study. The Cox proportional hazards model was used for this study, and the average BP was stratified according to the Seven Joint National Committee (JNC7).ResultsWe identified 1496 (805 CVD deaths) and 2138 deaths (1222 CVD deaths) in short- and long-term study. Compared with BP maintainer, in short-term BP changes, for participants from normotension or prehypertension to hypertension, the hazards ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of all-cause mortality were 1.948 (1.118-3.392) and 1.439 (1.218-1.700), respectively, while for participants from hypertension to prehypertension, the HRs (95% CIs) were 0.766 (0.638-0.899) for all-cause mortality and 0.729 (0.585-0.908) for CVD mortality, respectively. In long-term BP changes, for participants from normotension or prehypertension to hypertension, the HRs (95% CIs) of all-cause mortality were 1.738 (1.099-2.749) and 1.203 (1.023-1.414), and they were 2.351 (1.049-5.269) and 1.323 (1.047-1.672) for CVD mortality, respectively. In addition, the effects of short-term BP changes on all-cause and CVD mortality, measured as regression coefficients (β), were significantly greater than those in long-term change (all P<0.05).ConclusionsOur study emphasizes that short-term changes in BP have a greater impact on all-cause and CVD mortality than long-term changes and assess the cut-off value of the changes in blood pressure elevation.

Project description:The aim of this study was to examine the relationship of liver fibrosis (determined via fibrosis scores) with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in HF patients. The study examined demographic and clinical data were collected from NHANES database (1999 to 2018). A total of 1356 HF patients were enrolled in our analysis. During a median follow-up time of 70 months, 455 patients died. Compared to the survivors, the death group showed significantly elevated LFSs levels. RCS analysis revealed a linear relationship between various LFSs and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. KM curves and Cox regression models indicated that higher FIB-4 (≥ 1.637), NFS (≥ -0.064), and AST/ALT ratio (≥ 1.172) were linked to higher risk of all-cause mortality [Cox model 2: FIB-4 adjusted hazard ratio (aHR), 1.24; 95% CI, 1.04-1.48; NFS aHR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.01-1.38; AST/ALT ratio aHR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.07-1.47] and cardiovascular mortality in heart failure patients (FIB-4 aHR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.07-1.67; AST/ALT ratio aHR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.08-1.79). ROC curves indicated that FIB-4, NFS, and the AST/ALT ratio were important predicators of all-cause mortality (AUC: 0.715, 0.707, and 0.715, respectively) and cardiovascular mortality (AUC: 0.658, 0.657, and 0.659, respectively) in heart failure patients. Random survival forests showed that FIB-4, AST/ALT ratio, and NFS emerged as important factors potentially influencing mortality of HF. Consistent associations were observed in subgroup analysis. Liver fibrosis scores (FIB-4, NFS, and AST/ALT ratio) were strongly linked to all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in heart failure patients.
