Project description:AimsThe importance of true worsening renal failure (WRF), which is associated with a poor prognosis, had been suggested in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). The aim of the present study was to establish the biomarker strategy for the prediction of true WRF in AHF.Methods and resultsTwo hundred eighty-one patients with AHF were analysed. Their biomarkers were measured within 30 min of admission. Patients were assigned to the non-WRF (n = 168), pseudo-WRF (n = 56), or true-WRF (n = 57) groups using the criteria of both acute kidney injury on admission and increasing serum creatinine value during the first 7 days. A Kaplan-Meier curve showed that the survival and heart failure event rate of the true-WRF group within 1000 days was significantly lower than that of the non-WRF and pseudo-WRF groups (P ≤ 0.001). The multivariate Cox regression model also indicated that true WRF was an independent predictor of 1000 day mortality and heart failure events [hazard ratio: 4.315, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.466-7.550, P ≤ 0.001, and hazard ratio: 2.834, 95% CI: 1.893-4.243, P ≤ 0.001, respectively]. The serum heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (s-HFABP) levels were significantly higher in the true-WRF group than in the non-WRF and pseudo-WRF groups (P ≤ 0.001). The multivariate logistic regression model indicated that the predictive biomarker for the true-WRF group was the s-HFABP level (odds ratio: 5.472, 95% CI: 2.729-10.972, P ≤ 0.001). The sensitivity and specificity for indicating the presence of true WRF were 73.7% and 76.8% (area under the curve = 0.831) for s-HFABP in whole patients, respectively, and 94.7% and 72.7% (area under the curve = 0.904) in non-chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, respectively.ConclusionsCardiac biomarkers, especially the s-HFABP, might predict the development of true WRF in AHF patients. Furthermore, the predictive value was higher in AHF patients without CKD than in those with CKD.

Project description:AimsRelationships between cardiac acoustic biomarkers (CABs) measured by acoustic cardiography and clinical outcomes have been reported in heart failure (HF) patients. However, no studies have investigated the temporal change of CABs and the corresponding changes in HF status. The purpose of this study was to assess whether the temporal changes of CABs in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) reflect changes in cardiac function and status.Methods and resultsSixty ADHF patients were enrolled prospectively. CABs and echocardiography data were collected at admission, before discharge, and at the first clinic visit. CABs included electromechanical activation time (EMAT); the time interval from Q wave onset on electrocardiography to the first heart sound (S1), QoS2; the time interval from Q wave onset on electrocardiography to the second heart sound (S2); and third heart sound (S3) and fourth heart sound (S4) intensities, defined as the peak-to-peak amplitudes of S3 and S4. EMATc (EMAT/RR) (P = 0.001), S3 intensity (P < 0.001), and S4 intensity (P < 0.001) were significantly decreased, and QoS2 (P = 0.005) was significantly increased from admission to discharge. The change in S3 intensity was significantly correlated with that of E/A (ρ = 0.571, P < 0.001), and the extended QoS2 was also significantly correlated with the increase in the stroke volume index (ρ = 0.383, P = 0.004).ConclusionsSome CABs in ADHF patients changed significantly in the normal direction throughout the treatment course and could be useful biomarkers in ADHF management.

Project description:AimTo evaluate the performance of kidney-specific biomarkers (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), and cystatin-C) in early detection of acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac arrest (CA) when compared to serum creatinine.MethodsAdult CA patients who had kidney-specific biomarkers of AKI collected within 12 h of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) were included. The association between renal biomarker levels post-ROSC and the development of KDIGO stage III AKI within 7 days of enrollment were assessed as well as their predictive value of future AKI development, neurological outcomes, and survival to discharge.ResultsOf 153 patients, 54 (35%) developed stage III AKI within 7 days, and 98 (64%) died prior to hospital discharge. Patients who developed stage III AKI, compared to those who did not, had higher median levels of creatinine, NGAL, and cystatin-C (p < 0.001 for all). There was no statistically significant difference in KIM-1 between groups. No biomarker outperformed creatinine in the ability to predict stage III AKI, neurological outcomes, or survival outcomes (p > 0.05 for all). However, NGAL, cystatin-C, and creatinine all performed better than KIM-1 in their ability to predict AKI development (p < 0.01 for all).ConclusionIn post-CA patients, creatinine, NGAL, and cystatin-C (but not KIM-1) measured shortly after ROSC were higher in patients who subsequently developed AKI. No biomarker was statistically superior to creatinine on its own for predicting the development of post-arrest AKI.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) records electrocardiograms and cardiohemic vibrations that can be algorithmically combined to provide cardiac acoustic biomarkers (CABs). We characterized CAB variability, diurnal variations, and changes over time among heart failure patients. METHODS:Wearable cardioverter defibrillator heart failure patients who had CAB recordings from March 2015 to July 2017 were included. CAB parameters included: electromechanical activation time (EMAT), EMATc (EMAT/RR interval), left ventricular systolic time (LVST), LVSTc (LVST/RR interval), S3 and S4 strengths, and systolic dysfunction index (SDI). Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and analysis of variance were used to report temporal and clinical associations. RESULTS:One thousand and sixty-six WCD patients met the study criteria. Diastolic CAB parameters showed significantly greater intra-subject variability than systolic CAB parameters (>29% vs. <15%, p < .01). CAB parameters varied very little with age, gender, and ejection fraction (R2 = 0.004 to 0.06) in this heart failure population. Similarly, all CABs except SDI (R2 = 0.58) were independent of QRS duration, (R2 = -0.01 to 0.58). Heart rate had a more of significant influence on the systolic CABs than the diastolic CABs (p < .05). CABs were significantly different when measured at daytime versus nighttime (p < .01) and were significantly lower at the end of WCD wear compared with the beginning of wear (p < .05). CONCLUSIONS:Noninvasive CABs offer the possibility to assess parameters associated with LV function, clinical status, and other aspects of cardiovascular physiology that differ between normal and heart failure states. The present study provides critical information about typical values in heart failure patients, intra-subject variability, circadian rhythms, and changes over time of these parameters.

Project description:The use of a large number of cardiovascular biomarkers, meant to complement the use of the electrocardiogram, echocardiography cardiac imaging, and clinical symptom assessment, has become a routine in clinical diagnosis, differential diagnosis, risk stratification, and prognosis and guides the management of patients with suspected cardiovascular diseases. There is a broad consensus that cardiac troponin and natriuretic peptides are the preferred biomarkers in clinical practice for the diagnosis of the acute coronary syndrome and heart failure, respectively, while the roles and possible clinical applications of several other potential biomarkers are still under study. This review mainly focuses on the recent studies of the roles and clinical applications of troponin and natriuretic peptides, which seem to be the best-validated markers in distinguishing and predicting the future cardiac events of patients with suspected cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, the review briefly discusses some of the large number of potential markers that may play a more prominent role in the future.

Project description:Cardiac troponin (cTn) is the primary biomarker for the diagnosis of myocardial necrosis in an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). cTn levels can also be elevated in many other conditions, including heart failure, with significant prognostic value. An elevated cTn level can be found in both acute and chronic heart failure and its presence is believed to be due to multiple different pathophysiological processes. In acute decompensated heart failure (AHF), an elevated cTn level has been repeatedly shown to correlate with increased short- and long-term mortality and, to a lesser extent, readmission rates. These associations have been demonstrated with both I and T isoforms of cTn, as well as when troponin is measured with conventional assays or new high-sense assays. In multimarker models, cTn has repeatedly been found to be an independent predictive variable enhancing prognostic ability of the model. cTn is therefore an important biomarker for prognosis in AHF.

Project description:Background The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) is a measure of heart failure (HF) health status. Worse KCCQ scores are common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), even without diagnosed heart failure (HF). Elevations in the cardiac biomarkers GDF-15 (growth differentiation factor-15), galectin-3, sST2 (soluble suppression of tumorigenesis-2), hsTnT (high-sensitivity troponin T), and NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) likely reflect subclinical HF in CKD. Whether cardiac biomarkers are associated with low KCCQ scores is not known. Methods and Results We studied participants with CKD without HF in the multicenter prospective CRIC (Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort) Study. Outcomes included (1) low KCCQ score <75 at year 1 and (2) incident decline in KCCQ score to <75. We used multivariable logistic regression and Cox regression models to evaluate the associations between baseline cardiac biomarkers and cross-sectional and longitudinal KCCQ scores. Among 2873 participants, GDF-15 (adjusted odds ratio 1.42 per SD; 99% CI, 1.19-1.68) and galectin-3 (1.28; 1.12-1.48) were significantly associated with KCCQ scores <75, whereas sST2, hsTnT, and NT-proBNP were not significantly associated with KCCQ scores <75 after multivariable adjustment. Of the 2132 participants with KCCQ ≥75 at year 1, GDF-15 (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.36 per SD; 99% CI, 1.12-1.65), hsTnT (1.20; 1.01-1.44), and NT-proBNP (1.30; 1.08-1.56) were associated with incident decline in KCCQ to <75 after multivariable adjustment, whereas galectin-3 and sST2 did not have significant associations with KCCQ decline. Conclusions Among participants with CKD without clinical HF, GDF-15, galectin-3, NT-proBNP, and hsTnT were associated with low KCCQ either at baseline or during follow-up. Our findings show that elevations in cardiac biomarkers reflect early symptomatic changes in HF health status in CKD patients.

Project description:A quarter of patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) experience acute kidney injury (AKI), an abrupt loss of kidney function that doubles the risk of death at one-year. There is a critical need to identify early markers for AKI in ADHF, however, no protein candidates have been validated as diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers in this setting. We aimed to identify novel candidate protein biomarkers by quantifying changes in protein expression in the kidney that occur during ADHF development and recovery in an ovine model. Relative quantitative protein profiling was performed using Sequential Window Acquisition of All Theoretical Mass Spectrometry (SWATH-MS) in kidney cortex from healthy control sheep (n=5), sheep with established rapid pacing-induced ADHF (n=8) and sheep after ~4 weeks recovery from ADHF (n=7). Of 790 proteins quantified, we identified 17 candidate kidney injury markers, one potential marker of kidney recovery and two markers of long-term renal impairment that were differentially expressed between groups (1.2-2.6 fold-change, p<0.05). Differentially expressed proteins were enriched in pro-inflammatory signaling pathways: Glycoprotein VI (activated during ADHF development, adjusted p<0.01) and acute phase response (repressed during recovery from ADHF, p<0.01). This research identified 20 candidate protein markers of kidney injury, including 6 promising candidates supported by existing evidence and 14 novel candidates never implicated in AKI. Early awareness of AKI in ADHF through the use of biomarkers has the potential to reduce mortality and improve outcomes for these at-risk patients.

Project description:Being able to predict whether AKI will progress could improve monitoring and care, guide patient counseling, and assist with enrollment into trials of AKI treatment. Using samples from the Translational Research Investigating Biomarker Endpoints in AKI study (TRIBE-AKI), we evaluated whether kidney injury biomarkers measured at the time of first clinical diagnosis of early AKI after cardiac surgery can forecast AKI severity. Biomarkers included urinary IL-18, urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR), and urinary and plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL); each measurement was on the day of AKI diagnosis in 380 patients who developed at least AKI Network (AKIN) stage 1 AKI. The primary end point (progression of AKI defined by worsening AKIN stage) occurred in 45 (11.8%) patients. Using multivariable logistic regression, we determined the risk of AKI progression. After adjustment for clinical predictors, compared with biomarker values in the lowest two quintiles, the highest quintiles of three biomarkers remained associated with AKI progression: IL-18 (odds ratio=3.0, 95% confidence interval=1.3-7.3), ACR (odds ratio=3.4, 95% confidence interval=1.3-9.1), and plasma NGAL (odds ratio=7.7, 95% confidence interval=2.6-22.5). Each biomarker improved risk classification compared with the clinical model alone, with plasma NGAL performing the best (category-free net reclassification improvement of 0.69, P<0.0001). In conclusion, biomarkers measured on the day of AKI diagnosis improve risk stratification and identify patients at higher risk for progression of AKI and worse patient outcomes.

Project description:ObjectivesTo evaluate the association of intraoperative urinary biomarker excretion during cardiac surgery and the subsequent development of acute kidney injury (AKI).DesignProspective, nonrandomized, observational study.SettingSingle tertiary-level, university-affiliated hospital.ParticipantsNinety patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).InterventionsNone.Measurements and main resultsUrinary samples were collected every 30 minutes intraoperatively and then at four, 12, and 24 hours after CPB. Samples were measured for interleukin 18 (IL-18), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM1), and creatinine concentrations. Urinary biomarker excretion (raw and indexed to creatinine) for four intraoperative and three postoperative points were compared between patients with and those without subsequent AKI defined by increased serum creatinine concentration ≥0.3 mg/dL within the first 48 hours or ≥1.5 times baseline within seven days. Raw and indexed median IL-18 values were similar between AKI groups at all intraoperative points, but became significantly different at 12 hours after CPB. Raw and indexed median KIM1 values were significantly different between AKI groups at multiple intraoperative points and at four and 12 hours after CPB. During intraoperative and postoperative points, patients in the fourth quartile of KIM1 excretion had greater AKI incidence and longer intensive care and hospital lengths of stay than those in the first quartile. Only postoperatively did the differences in these outcomes between the fourth and first quartile of IL-18 excretion occur.ConclusionsIntraoperative KIM1 but not IL-18 excretion was associated with postoperative development of AKI.
