The association of midregional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) at ICU admission and fluid overload in patients post elective cardiac surgery. Sci Rep 2024; 14:20897. [PMID: 39245743 PMCID: PMC11381535 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-71918-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 09/02/2024] [Indexed: 09/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Postoperative fluid overload (FO) after cardiac surgery is common and affects recovery. Predicting FO could help optimize fluid management. This post-hoc analysis of the HERACLES randomized controlled trial evaluated the predictive value of MR-proADM for FO post-cardiac surgery. MR-proADM levels were measured at four different timepoints in 33 patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. Patients were divided into FO (> 5% weight gain) and no-FO at ICU discharge. The primary outcome was the predictive power of MR-proADM at ICU admission for FO at discharge. Secondary outcomes included the predictive value of MR-proADM for FO on day 6 post-surgery and changes over time. The association between MR-proADM and FO at ICU discharge or day 6 post-surgery was not significant (crude odds ratio (cOR): 4.3 (95% CI 0.5-40.9, p = 0.201) and cOR 1.1 (95% CI 0.04-28.3, p = 0.954)). MR-proADM levels over time did not differ significantly between patients with and without FO at ICU discharge (p = 0.803). MR-proADM at ICU admission was not associated with fluid overload at ICU discharge in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. MR-proADM levels over time were not significantly different between groups, although elevated levels were observed in patients with FO.

Abstract
Adrenomedullin (ADM) is a peptide hormone produced primarily in the adrenal glands, playing a crucial role in various physiological processes. As well as improving vascular integrity and decreasing vascular permeability, ADM acts as a vasodilator, positive inotrope, diuretic, natriuretic and bronchodilator, antagonizing angiotensin II by inhibiting aldosterone secretion. ADM also has antihypertrophic, anti-apoptotic, antifibrotic, antioxidant, angiogenic and immunoregulatory effects and antimicrobial properties. ADM expression is upregulated by hypoxia, inflammation-inducing cytokines, viral or bacterial substances, strength of shear stress, and leakage of blood vessels. These pathological conditions are established during systemic inflammation that can result from infections, surgery, trauma/accidents or burns. The ability to rapidly identify infections and the prognostic, predictive power makes it a valuable tool in severe viral and bacterial infections burdened by high incidence and mortality. This review sheds light on the pathophysiological processes that in severe viral or bacterial infections cause endothelitis up to the development of organ damage, the resulting increase in ADM levels dosed through its more stable peptide mid-regional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM), the most significant studies that attest to its diagnostic and prognostic accuracy in highlighting the severity of viral or bacterial infections and appropriate therapeutic insights.

Changes in mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin during treatment with sacubitril/valsartan. Eur J Heart Fail 2023; 25:1396-1405. [PMID: 37401523 DOI: 10.1002/ejhf.2957] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Revised: 05/26/2023] [Accepted: 06/23/2023] [Indexed: 07/05/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS Adrenomedullin is a vasodilatory peptide with a role in microcirculatory and endothelial homeostasis. Adrenomedullin is a substrate for neprilysin and may therefore play a role in beneficial effects of sacubitril/valsartan (Sac/Val) treatment. METHODS AND RESULTS Mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) was measured in 156 patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) treated with Sac/Val and 264 patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) randomized to treatment with Sac/Val or valsartan. Echocardiography and Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire results were collected at baseline and after 6 and 12 months in the HFrEF cohort. Median (Q1-Q3) baseline MR-proADM concentrations were 0.80 (0.59-0.99) nmol/L in HFrEF and 0.88 (0.68-1.20) nmol/L in HFpEF. After 12 weeks of treatment with Sac/Val, MR-proADM increased by median 49% in HFrEF and 60% in HFpEF, while there were no significant changes in valsartan-treated patients (median 2%). Greater increases in MR-proADM were associated with higher Sac/Val doses. Changes in MR-proADM correlated weakly with changes in N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, cardiac troponin T and urinary cyclic guanosine monophosphate. Increases in MR-proADM were associated with decreases in blood pressure, but not significantly associated with changes in echocardiographic parameters or health status. CONCLUSIONS MR-proAD concentrations rise substantially following treatment with Sac/Val, in contrast to no change from valsartan. Change in MR-proADM from neprilysin inhibition did not correlate with improvements in cardiac structure and function or health status. More data are needed regarding the role of adrenomedullin and its related peptides in the treatment of heart failure.

Abstract
Although many models are available to predict prognosis of heart failure patients, most tools combining survival analysis are based on proportional hazard model. Non-linear machine learning algorithms would overcome the limitation of the time-independent hazard ratio assumption and provide more information in readmission or mortality prediction among heart failure patients. The present study collected the clinical information of 1796 hospitalized heart failure patients surviving during hospitalization in a Chinese clinical center from December 2016 to June 2019. A traditional multivariate Cox regression model and three machine learning survival models were developed in derivation cohort. Uno's concordance index and integrated Brier score in validation cohort were calculated to evaluate the discrimination and calibration of different models. Time-dependent AUC and Brier score curves were plotted to assess the performance of models at different time phases.

Abstract
Numerous clinical studies have revealed the utility of circulating AM (adrenomedullin) or MR-proAM (mid-regional proAM 45-92) as an effective prognostic and diagnostic biomarker for a variety of cardiovascular-related pathophysiologies. Thus, there is strong supporting evidence encouraging the exploration of the AM-CLR (calcitonin receptor-like receptor) signaling pathway as a therapeutic target. This is further bolstered because several drugs targeting the shared CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide)-CLR pathway are already Food and Drug Administration-approved and on the market for the treatment of migraine. In this review, we summarize the AM-CLR signaling pathway and its modulatory mechanisms and provide an overview of the current understanding of the physiological and pathological roles of AM-CLR signaling and the yet untapped potentials of AM as a biomarker or therapeutic target in cardiac and vascular diseases and provide an outlook on the recently emerged strategies that may provide further boost to the possible clinical applications of AM signaling.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 9:1017867. [PMID: 36756642 PMCID: PMC9900105 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.1017867] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/28/2022] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Various clinical scores have been developed to predict organ dysfunction and mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, but outcome prediction may be inaccurate for some patient groups. Proenkephalin A (penKid) and bioactive adrenomedullin (bio-ADM) have emerged as promising biomarkers correlating with shock and organ dysfunction. This imposes the question of whether they can be used as prognostic biomarkers for risk stratification in the perioperative setting of cardiac surgery. Methods Patients undergoing cardiac surgery were prospectively enrolled in this observational study. PenKid and bio-ADM plasma levels, as well as markers evaluating inflammation and organ dysfunction, were measured at five perioperative time points from before the induction of anesthesia to up to 48 h postoperatively. Clinical data regarding organ dysfunction and patient outcomes were recorded during the intensive care unit (ICU)-stay with a special focus on acute kidney injury (AKI). Results In 136 patients undergoing cardiac surgery, the bio-ADM levels increased and the penKid levels decreased significantly over time. PenKid was associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD), the incidence of AKI, and renal replacement therapy (RRT). Bio-ADM was associated with lactate and the need for vasopressors. PenKid was useful to predict an ICU-length of stay (LOS)>1 day and added prognostic value to the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation Score (EuroSCORE) II when measured after the end of cardiopulmonary bypass and 24 h after cardiac surgery. For bio-ADM, the same was true when measured 24 h after surgery. PenKid also added prognostic value to the EuroSCORE II for the combined outcome "ICU length of stay >1 day and in-hospital mortality." Conclusion The combination of preoperative EuroSCORE II and intraoperative measurement of penKid may be more useful to predict a prolonged ICU LOS and increased mortality than EuroSCORE II alone. Bio-ADM correlates with markers of shock. More research is encouraged for early risk stratification and validation of penKid and bio-ADM as a tool involved in clinical decisions, which may enable the early initiation of organ protective strategies.

Abstract
Despite all the important advances in its diagnosis and treatment, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is still one of the most prominent causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Early identification of patients at high risk of poor outcomes through the measurement of various biomarker concentrations might contribute to more accurate risk stratification and help to guide more individualized therapeutic strategies, thus improving prognoses. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the role and applications of cardiac biomarkers in risk stratification and prognostic assessment for patients with myocardial infarction. Although there is no ideal biomarker that can provide prognostic information for risk assessment in patients with AMI, the results obtained in recent years are promising. Several novel biomarkers related to the pathophysiological processes found in patients with myocardial infarction, such as inflammation, neurohormonal activation, myocardial stress, myocardial necrosis, cardiac remodeling and vasoactive processes, have been identified; they may bring additional value for AMI prognosis when included in multi-biomarker strategies. Furthermore, the use of artificial intelligence algorithms for risk stratification and prognostic assessment in these patients may have an extremely important role in improving outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was designed to evaluate the role of biologically active adrenomedullin (bio-ADM) in congestion assessment and risk stratification in acute dyspnea. METHODS This is a sub-analysis of the Lithuanian Echocardiography Study of Dyspnea in Acute Settings. Congestion was assessed by means of clinical (peripheral edema, rales) and sonographic (estimated right atrial pressure) parameters. Ninety-day mortality was chosen for outcome analysis. RESULTS There were 1188 patients included. Bio-ADM concentration was higher in patients with peripheral edema at admission (48.2 [28.2-92.6] vs 35.4 [20.9-59.2] ng/L, P < .001). There was a stepwise increase in bio-ADM concentration with increasing prevalence of rales: 29.8 [18.8-51.1], 38.5 [27.5-67.1], and 51.1 [33.1-103.2] ng/L in patients with no rales, rales covering less than one-half, and greater than or equal to one-half of the pulmonary area, respectively (P < 0.001). Bio-ADM concentration demonstrated gradual elevation in patients with normal, moderately, and severely increased estimated right atrial pressure: 25.1 [17.6-42.4] ng/L, 36.1 [23.1-50.2], and 47.1 [30.7-86.7] ng/L, respectively (P < .05). Patients with bio-ADM concentration >35.5 ng/L were at more than twofold increased risk of dying (P < .001). Survival in those with high bio-ADM was significantly modified by neurohormonal blockade at admission (P < .05), especially if NT-proBNP levels were lower than the median (P = .002 for interaction). CONCLUSION Bio-ADM reflects the presence and the degree of pulmonary, peripheral, and intravascular volume overload and is strongly related to 90-day mortality in acute dyspnea. Patients with high bio-ADM levels demonstrated survival benefit from neurohormonal blockade.

Abstract
Adrenomedullin (AM) is a vasodilative peptide with various physiological functions, including the maintenance of vascular tone and endothelial barrier function. AM levels are markedly increased during severe inflammation, such as that associated with sepsis; thus, AM is expected to be a useful clinical marker and therapeutic agent for inflammation. However, as the increase in AM levels in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is relatively low compared to that in infectious diseases, the value of AM as a marker of CVDs seems to be less important. Limitations pertaining to the administrative route and short half-life of AM in the bloodstream (<30 min) restrict the therapeutic applications of AM for CVDs. In early human studies, various applications of AM for CVDs were attempted, including for heart failure, myocardial infarction, pulmonary hypertension, and peripheral artery disease; however, none achieved success. We have developed AM as a therapeutic agent for inflammatory bowel disease in which the vasodilatory effect of AM is minimized. A clinical trial evaluating this AM formulation for acute cerebral infarction is ongoing. We have also developed AM derivatives that exhibit a longer half-life and less vasodilative activity. These AM derivatives can be administered by subcutaneous injection at long-term intervals. Accordingly, these derivatives will reduce the inconvenience in use compared to that for native AM and expand the possible applications of AM for treating CVDs. In this review, we present the latest translational status of AM and its derivatives.

Abstract
Acute heart failure (AHF) affects millions of people worldwide, and it is a potentially life‐threatening condition for which the cardiologist is more often brought into play. It is crucial to rapidly identify, among patients presenting with dyspnoea, those with AHF and to accurately stratify their risk, in order to define the appropriate setting of care, especially nowadays due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) outbreak. Furthermore, with physical examination being limited by personal protective equipment, the use of new alternative diagnostic and prognostic tools could be of extreme importance. In this regard, usage of biomarkers, especially when combined (a multimarker approach) is beneficial for establishment of an accurate diagnosis, risk stratification and post‐discharge monitoring. This review highlights the use of both traditional biomarkers such as natriuretic peptides (NP) and troponin, and emerging biomarkers such as soluble suppression of tumourigenicity (sST2) and galectin‐3 (Gal‐3), from patients' emergency admission to discharge and follow‐up, to improve risk stratification and outcomes in terms of mortality and rehospitalization.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is characterized by frequent hospital admissions due to acute decompensation and shortened life span with a progressive clinical course leading to an advanced stage where traditional therapies become ineffective. Due to aging of the population and improved therapies, only a small of proportion of patients with advanced HF are candidates for surgical treatments, such as mechanical circulatory support or heart transplantation. In most cases, prompt identification and management of congestion is paramount to improving symptoms and quality of life and avoiding progression to severe multiorgan dysfunction and death.

Activity of the adrenomedullin system to personalise post-discharge diuretic treatment in acute heart failure. Clin Res Cardiol 2021; 111:627-637. [PMID: 34302189 PMCID: PMC9151518 DOI: 10.1007/s00392-021-01909-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2021] [Accepted: 07/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Background Quantifying the activity of the adrenomedullin system might help to monitor and guide treatment in acute heart failure (AHF) patients. The aims were to (1) identify AHF patients with marked benefit or harm from specific treatments at hospital discharge and (2) predict mortality by quantifying the adrenomedullin system activity. Methods This was a prospective multicentre study. AHF diagnosis and phenotype were centrally adjudicated by two independent cardiologists among patients presenting to the emergency department with acute dyspnoea. Adrenomedullin system activity was quantified using the biologically active component, bioactive adrenomedullin (bio-ADM), and a prohormone fragment, midregional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM). Bio-ADM and MR-proADM concentrations were measured in a blinded fashion at presentation and at discharge. Interaction with specific treatments at discharge and the utility of these biomarkers on predicting outcomes during 365-day follow-up were assessed. Results Among 1886 patients with adjudicated AHF, 514 patients (27.3%) died during 365-day follow-up. After adjusting for age, creatinine, and treatment at discharge, patients with bio-ADM plasma concentrations above the median (> 44.6 pg/mL) derived disproportional benefit if treated with diuretics (interaction p values < 0.001). These findings were confirmed when quantifying adrenomedullin system activity using MR-proADM (n = 764) (interaction p values < 0.001). Patients with bio-ADM plasma concentrations above the median were at increased risk of death (hazard ratio 1.87, 95% CI 1.57–2.24; p < 0.001). For predicting 365-day all-cause mortality, both biomarkers performed well, with MR-proADM presenting an even higher predictive accuracy compared to bio-ADM (p < 0.001). Conclusions Quantifying the adrenomedullin’s system activity may help to personalise post-discharge diuretic treatment and enable accurate risk-prediction in AHF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early identification of patients at high risk of progression to severe COVID-19 constituted an unsolved challenge. Although growing evidence demonstrates a direct association between endotheliitis and severe COVID-19, the role of endothelial damage biomarkers has been scarcely studied. We investigated the relationship between circulating mid-regional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) levels, a biomarker of endothelial dysfunction, and prognosis of SARS-CoV-2-infected patients. METHODS Prospective observational study enrolling adult patients with confirmed COVID-19. On admission to emergency department, a blood sample was drawn for laboratory test analysis. Primary and secondary endpoints were 28-day all-cause mortality and severe COVID-19 progression. Area under the curve (AUC) and multivariate regression analysis were employed to assess the association of the biomarker with the established endpoints. RESULTS A total of 99 patients were enrolled. During hospitalization, 25 (25.3%) cases progressed to severe disease and the 28-day mortality rate was of 14.1%. MR-proADM showed the highest AUC to predict 28-day mortality (0.905; [CI] 95%: 0.829-0.955; P < .001) and progression to severe disease (0.829; [CI] 95%: 0.740-0.897; P < .001), respectively. MR-proADM plasma levels above optimal cut-off (1.01 nmol/L) showed the strongest independent association with 28-day mortality risk (hazard ratio [HR]: 10.470, 95% CI: 2.066-53.049; P < .005) and with progression to severe disease (HR: 6.803, 95% CI: 1.458-31.750; P = .015). CONCLUSION Mid-regional proadrenomedullin was the biomarker with highest performance for prognosis of death and progression to severe disease in COVID-19 patients and represents a promising predictor for both outcomes, which might constitute a potential tool in the assessment of prognosis in early stages of this disease.

Mid-Regional Proadrenomedullin as a New Biomarker of Kidney and Cardiovascular Diseases-Is It the Future? J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10030524.

Abstract
The increasing prevalence of cardiovascular disease and concomitant chronic kidney disease among the aging populations is responsible for considerable growth of mortality. Additionally, frequent, prolonged hospitalizations and long-term treatment generates progressive decline in bodily functions as well as substantial public health and economic burden. Accessibility to easy, non-invasive prognostic markers able to detect patients at risk of cardiovascular events may improve effective therapy and mitigate disease progression. Moreover, an early diagnosis allows time for implementation of prophylactic and educational programs that may result in decreased morbidity, improved quality of life and reduced public health expenditure. One of the promising candidates for a novel cardiovascular biomarker is mid-regional proadrenomedullin, a derivative of adrenomedullin. Adrenomedullin is a peptide hormone known for its vasodilatory, antioxidant, antiapoptotic and antifibrotic effects. A remarkable advantage of mid-regional proadrenomedullin is its longer half-life which is a prerequisite for plasma measurements. These review aims to discuss the importance of mid-regional proadrenomedullin with reference to its usefulness as a biomarker of increased cardiovascular risk and kidney disease progression.

Abstract
Although congestion is considered to be the main reason for hospital admission in patients with acute heart failure, a simplistic view considering idro saline retention and total body volume accumulation did not provide convincing data. Clinical congestion occurrence is often the tip of the iceberg of several different mechanisms ranging from increased filling pressure to extravascular fluid accumulation and blood flow redistribution. Therefore, the clinical evaluation is often restricted to a simple physical examination including few and inaccurate signs and symptoms. This superficial approach has led to contradictory data and patients have not been evaluated according to a more realistic clinical scenario. The integration with new diagnostic ultrasonographic and laboratory tools would substantially improve these weaknesses. Indeed, congestion could be assessed by following the most recognized HF subtypes including primitive cardiac defect, presence of right ventricular dysfunction, and organ perfusion. Moreover, there is a tremendous gap regarding the interchangeable concept of fluid retention and redistribution used with a univocal meaning. Overall, congestion assessment should be revised, considering it as either central, peripheral, or both. In this review, we aim to provide different evidence regarding the concept of congestion starting from the most recognized pathophysiological mechanisms of AHF decompensation. We highlight the fact that a better knowledge of congestion is a challenge for future investigation and it could lead to significant advances in HF treatment.

Abstract
AIMS Whereas syncopal episodes are a frequent complication of cardiovascular disorders, including heart failure (HF), little is known whether syncopes impact the prognosis of patients with HF. We aimed to assess the impact of a history of syncope (HoS) on overall and hospitalization-free survival of these patients. METHODS AND RESULTS We pooled the data of prospective, nationwide, multicentre studies conducted within the framework of the German Competence Network for Heart Failure including 11 335 subjects. Excluding studies with follow-up periods <10 years, we assessed 5318 subjects. We excluded a study focusing on cardiac changes in patients with an HIV infection because of possible confounding factors and 849 patients due to either missing key parameters or missing follow-up data, resulting in 3594 eligible subjects, including 2130 patients with HF [1564 patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), 314 patients with heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction, and 252 patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)] and 1464 subjects without HF considered as controls. HoS was more frequent in the overall cohort of patients with HF compared with controls (P < 0.001)-mainly driven by the HFpEF subgroup (HFpEF vs. controls: 25.0% vs. 12.8%, P < 0.001). Of all the subjects, 14.6% reported a HoS. Patients with HFrEF in our pooled cohort showed more often syncopes than subjects without HF (15.0% vs. 12.8%, P = 0.082). Subjects with HoS showed worse overall survival [42.4% vs. 37.9%, hazard ratio (HR) = 1.21, 99% confidence interval (0.99, 1.46), P = 0.04] and less days alive out of hospital [HR = 1.39, 99% confidence interval (1.18, 1.64), P < 0.001] compared with all subjects without HoS. Patients with HFrEF with HoS died earlier [30.3% vs. 41.6%, HR = 1.40, 99% confidence interval (1.12, 1.74), P < 0.001] and lived fewer days out of hospital than those without HoS. We could not find these changes in mortality and hospital-free survival in the heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction and HFpEF cohorts. HoS represented a clinically high-risk profile within the HFrEF group-combining different risk factors. Further analyses showed that among patients with HFrEF with HoS, known cardiovascular risk factors (e.g. age, male sex, diabetes mellitus, and anaemia) were more prevalent. These constellations of the risk factors explained the effect of HoS in a multivariable Cox regression models. CONCLUSIONS In a large cohort of patients with HF, HoS was found to be a clinically and easily accessible predictor of both overall and hospitalization-free survival in patients with HFrEF and should thus routinely be assessed.

Abstract
AIMS The performance of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in diagnosing acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) among patients presenting with breathlessness is markedly impaired in the presence of atrial fibrillation (AF). We evaluated the diagnostic performance of mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) and cardiac troponin T as possible alternative markers for discrimination of ADHF in this setting. METHODS AND RESULTS Breathless patients (n = 1107) were prospectively and contemporaneously recruited in emergency departments in Singapore and New Zealand. The diagnoses of ADHF and presence of AF were adjudicated by two clinician specialists, blinded to MR-proADM, NT-proBNP and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) results. MR-proADM exhibited strong discrimination of ADHF with little change in performance irrespective of the presence of AF (area under the curve 0.83 in non-AF vs. 0.76 in AF) compared to NT-proBNP (0.91 vs. 0.71) and hs-cTnT (0.83 vs. 0.62), respectively. The accuracy of MR-proADM (73.3%) for diagnosing ADHF among patients with AF was superior to both NT-proBNP (61.6%) and hs-cTnT (64.6%). The superior performance of MR-proADM remained apparent when data from Singapore and New Zealand were analysed separately. CONCLUSION In the presence of AF, MR-proADM showed greater discrimination and accuracy, and less impairment in performance compared to that in non-AF cases, for the diagnosis of ADHF, compared to the guideline-endorsed NT-proBNP.

Abstract
Introduction: Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) remains a significant health care burden as evidenced by high readmission rates and mortality. Over the years, the care of patients with ADHF has been transformed by the use of biomarkers, specifically to aid in the diagnosis and prognosis. Patients with HF follow a variable course given the complex and heterogenous pathophysiological processes, thus it is imperative for clinicians to have tools to predict short and long-term outcomes in order to educate patients and optimize management. Areas Covered: The natriuretic peptides, including B-type natriuretic peptide and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, are considered the gold standard biomarkers. Yet, other emerging biomarkers such as suppression of tumerogenicity-2, cardiac troponin, galectin-2, mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin, copeptin, cystatin, and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin have increasingly shown promise in evaluating prognosis in patients with ADHF. This article reviews the pathophysiology and utility of both established and emerging biomarkers for the prognostication of patients with ADHF. Expert Opinion: As of 2019, the most validated biomarkers for use in decompensated heart failure include natriuretic peptides, high sensitivity troponin, and sST2. These biomarkers are involved in the underlying pathophysiology of disease and as such provide added information to that of exam, x-ray, and echocardiography.

Prognostic value of NT-proBNP added to clinical parameters to predict two-year prognosis of chronic heart failure patients with mid-range and reduced ejection fraction - A report from FAR NHL prospective registry. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0214363. [PMID: 30913251 PMCID: PMC6435170 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0214363] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2018] [Accepted: 03/12/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND According to guidelines, the prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure can be predicted by determining the levels of natriuretic peptides, the NYHA classification and comorbidities. The aim our work was to develop a prognostic score in chronic heart failure patients that would take account of patients' comorbidities, NYHA and NT-proBNP levels. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 1,088 patients with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) (LVEF<40%) and mid-range EF (HFmrEF) (LVEF 40-49%) were enrolled consecutively. Two-year all-cause mortality, heart transplantation and/or LVAD implantation were defined as the primary endpoint (EP). The occurrence of EP was 14.9% and grew with higher NYHA, namely 4.9% (NYHA I), 11.4% (NYHA II) and 27.8% (NYHA III-IV) (p<0.001). The occurrence of EP was 3%, 10% and 15-37% in patients with NT-proBNP levels ≤125 ng/L, 126-1000 ng/L and >1000 ng/L respectively. Discrimination abilities of NYHA and NT-proBNP were AUC 0.670 (p<0.001) and AUC 0.722 (p<0.001) respectively. The predictive value of the developed clinical model, which took account of older age, advanced heart failure (NYHA III+IV), anaemia, hyponatraemia, hyperuricaemia and being on a higher dose of furosemide (>40 mg daily) (AUC 0.773; p<0.001) was increased by adding the NT-proBNP level (AUC 0.790). CONCLUSION The use of prediction models in patients with chronic heart failure, namely those taking account of natriuretic peptides, should become a standard in routine clinical practice. It might contribute to a better identification of a high-risk group of patients in which more intense treatment needs to be considered, such as heart transplantation or LVAD implantation.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is the end result of many different cardiac and non-cardiac abnormalities leading to a complex clinical entity. In this view, the use of biomarkers in HF should be deeply reconsidered; indeed, the same biomarker may carry a different significance in patients with preserved or reduced EF. The aim of this review is to reconsider the role of biomarkers in HF, based on the different clinical characteristics of this syndrome. The role of cardiac and non-cardiac biomarkers will be reviewed with respect of the different clinical manifestations of this syndrome.

Abstract
RATIONALE Cardiac lymphangiogenesis contributes to the reparative process post-myocardial infarction, but the factors and mechanisms regulating it are not well understood. OBJECTIVE To determine if epicardial-secreted factor AM (adrenomedullin; Adm=gene) improves cardiac lymphangiogenesis post-myocardial infarction via lateralization of Cx43 (connexin 43) in cardiac lymphatic vasculature. METHODS AND RESULTS Firstly, we identified sex-dependent differences in cardiac lymphatic numbers in uninjured mice using light-sheet microscopy. Using a mouse model of Adm hi/hi ( Adm overexpression) and permanent left anterior descending ligation to induce myocardial infarction, we investigated cardiac lymphatic structure, growth, and function in injured murine hearts. Overexpression of Adm increased lymphangiogenesis and cardiac function post-myocardial infarction while suppressing cardiac edema and correlated with changes in Cx43 localization. Lymphatic function in response to AM treatment was attenuated in mice with a lymphatic-specific Cx43 deletion. In vitro experiments in cultured human lymphatic endothelial cells identified a novel mechanism to improve gap junction coupling by pharmaceutically targeting Cx43 with verapamil. Finally, we show that connexin protein expression in cardiac lymphatics is conserved between mouse and human. CONCLUSIONS AM is an endogenous, epicardial-derived factor that drives reparative cardiac lymphangiogenesis and function via Cx43, and this represents a new therapeutic pathway for improving myocardial edema after injury.

Abstract
Adrenomedullin (AM), a peptide isolated from an extract of human pheochromocytoma, comprises 52 amino acids with an intramolecular disulfide bond and amidation at the carboxy-terminus. AM is present in various tissues and organs in rodents and humans, including the heart. The peptide concentration increases with cardiac hypertrophy, acute myocardial infarction, and overt heart failure in the plasma and the myocardium. The principal function of AM in the cardiovascular system is the regulation of the vascular tone by vasodilation and natriuresis via cyclic adenosine monophosphate-dependent or -independent mechanism. In addition, AM may possess unique properties that inhibit aldosterone secretion, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and stimulation of angiogenesis, resulting in the protection of the structure and function of the heart. The AM receptor comprises a complex between calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR) and receptor activity-modifying protein (RAMP) 2 or 3, and the AM-CLR/RAMP2 system is essential for heart development during embryogenesis. Small-scale clinical trials have proven the efficacy and safety of recombinant AM peptide therapy for heart failure. Gene delivery and a modified AM peptide that prolongs the half-life of the native peptide could be an innovative method to improve the efficacy and benefit of AM in clinical settings. In this review, we focus on the pathophysiological roles of AM and its receptor system in the heart and describe the advances in AM and proAM-derived peptides as diagnostic biomarkers as well as the therapeutic application of AM and modified AM for cardioprotection.

Abstract
Several peptides play an important role in physiological and pathological conditions into the cardiovascular system. In addition to well-known vasoactive agents such as angiotensin II, endothelin, serotonin or natriuretic peptides, the vasoconstrictor Urotensin-II (Uro-II) and the vasodilators Urocortins (UCNs) and Adrenomedullin (AM) have been implicated in the control of vascular tone and blood pressure as well as in cardiovascular disease states including congestive heart failure, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and pulmonary and systemic hypertension. Therefore these peptides, together with their receptors, become important therapeutic targets in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Circulating levels of these agents in the blood are markedly modified in patients with specific CVDs compared with those in healthy patients, becoming also potential biomarkers for these pathologies. This review will provide an overview of current knowledge about the physiological roles of Uro-II, UCN and AM in the cardiovascular system and their implications in cardiovascular diseases. It will further focus on the structural modifications carried out on original peptide sequences in the search of analogues with improved physiochemical properties as well as in the delivery methods. Finally, we have overviewed the possible application of these peptides and/or their precursors as biomarkers of CVDs.
