Natriuretic peptides for the detection of diastolic dysfunction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction-a systematic review and meta-analysis. BMC Med 2020; 18:290. [PMID: 33121502 PMCID: PMC7599104 DOI: 10.1186/s12916-020-01764-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2020] [Accepted: 08/25/2020] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND An overview of the diagnostic performance of natriuretic peptides (NPs) for the detection of diastolic dysfunction (DD) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), in a non-acute setting, is currently lacking. METHODS We performed a systematic literature search in PubMed and Embase.com (May 13, 2019). Studies were included when they (1) reported diagnostic performance measures, (2) are for the detection of DD or HFpEF in a non-acute setting, (3) are compared with a control group without DD or HFpEF or with patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, (4) are in a cross-sectional design. Two investigators independently assessed risk of bias of the included studies according to the QUADAS-2 checklist. Results were meta-analysed when three or more studies reported a similar diagnostic measure. RESULTS From 11,728 titles/abstracts, we included 51 studies. The meta-analysis indicated a reasonable diagnostic performance for both NPs for the detection of DD and HFpEF based on AUC values of approximately 0.80 (0.73-0.87; I2 = 86%). For both NPs, sensitivity was lower than specificity for the detection of DD and HFpEF: approximately 65% (51-85%; I2 = 95%) versus 80% (70-90%; I2 = 97%), respectively. Both NPs have adequate ability to rule out DD: negative predictive value of approximately 85% (78-93%; I2 = 95%). The ability of both NPs to prove DD is lower: positive predictive value of approximately 60% (30-90%; I2 = 99%). CONCLUSION The diagnostic performance of NPs for the detection of DD and HFpEF is reasonable. However, they may be used to rule out DD or HFpEF, and not for the diagnosis of DD or HFpEF.

Diagnostic value of echocardiographic markers for diastolic dysfunction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Heart Fail Rev 2020; 27:207-218.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of echocardiographic markers of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in comparison with the gold standard of cardiac catheterization. Diagnosing HFpEF is challenging, as symptoms are non-specific and often absent at rest. A clear need exists for sensitive echocardiographic markers to diagnose HFpEF. We systematically searched for studies testing the diagnostic value of novel echocardiographic markers for HFpEF and LVDD. Two investigators independently reviewed the studies and assessed the risk of bias. Results were meta-analysed when four or more studies reported a similar diagnostic measure. Of 353 studies, 20 fulfilled the eligibility criteria. The risk of bias was high especially in the patients' selection domain. The highest diagnostic performance was demonstrated by a multivariable model combining echocardiographic, clinical and arterial function markers with an area under the curve of 0.95 (95% CI, 0.89-0.98). A meta-analysis of four studies indicated a reasonable diagnostic performance for left atrial strain with an AUC of 0.83 (0.70-0.95), a specificity of 93% (95% CI, 90-97%) and a sensitivity of 77% (95% CI, 59-96%). Moreover, the addition of exercise E/e' improved the sensitivity of HFpEF diagnostic algorithms up to 90%, compared with 60 and 34% of guidelines alone. Despite the heterogeneity of the included studies, this review supported the current multivariable-based approach for the diagnosis of HFpEF and LVDD and showed a potential diagnostic role for exercise echocardiography and left atrial strain. Larger well-designed studies are needed to evaluate the incremental value of novel diagnostic tools to current diagnostic algorithms.

Clinical characteristics of asymptomatic left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and its association with self-rated health and N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide: a cross-sectional study. ESC Heart Fail 2016; 3:205-211. [PMID: 27818785 PMCID: PMC5071719 DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.12090] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2015] [Revised: 11/30/2015] [Accepted: 02/16/2016] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Aims Left ventricular hypertrophy, obesity, hypertension, and N‐terminal B‐type natriuretic peptide (Nt‐proBNP) predict left ventricular diastolic dysfunction with preserved systolic function (DD‐PSF). Self‐rated health (SRH) is shown to be associated with chronic diseases, but the association of SRH with DD‐PSF is unclear. In light of the clinical implications of DD‐PSF, the following goals are of considerable importance: (1) to determine the role of SRH in patients with DD‐PSF in the general population and (2) to study the association between Nt‐proBNP and DD‐PSF. Methods and results The current study is a cross‐sectional study conducted on a random sampling of a rural population. Individuals 30–75 years of age were consecutively subjected to conventional echocardiography and tissue velocity imaging. Data were collected on 500 (48%) men and 538 (52%) women (n = 1038). DD‐PSF was the main outcome, and SRH and Nt‐proBNP were the primary indicators. Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and obesity were accounted for as major confounders of the association with SRH. DD‐PSF was identified in 137 individuals, namely, 79 men (15.8%) and 58 women (10.8%). In a multivariate regression model, SRH (OR 2.95; 95% CI 1.02–8.57) and Nt‐proBNP (quartile 4 vs. quartile 1 OR 4.23; 95% CI 1.74–10.26) were both independently associated with DD‐PSF. Conclusions SRH, evaluated based on a descriptive question on general health, should be included in the diagnostic process of DD‐PSF. In agreement with previous studies, our study confirms that Nt‐proBNP is a major indicator of DD‐PSF.

Abstract
AIMS Amino-terminal portion of pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) is a valuable diagnostic and prognostic marker in congestive heart failure (CHF). In CHF patients, elevation of natriuretic peptide levels correlate with decreased left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) and increased left atrial (LA) volumes, but a correlation with LA function that is a determinant of haemodynamic and clinical status in CHF with independent prognostic value has never been investigated. Aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between cardiac neurohormonal activation and LA function in patients with CHF due to dilated cardiomyopathy. METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred and one patients (86% males; mean age, 64 ± 11 years) with dilated ischaemic or non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy, LV EF ≤45% (mean LV EF, 33 ± 8%), and New York Heart Association class II-IV underwent transthoracic echocardiography to evaluate LA fractional active and total emptying from M- and B-Mode images, and, on the same day, venous blood sample collection to dose NT-pro-BNP. By univariate analyses, NT-pro-BNP significantly correlated to age, LA dimensions, LA function indexes, EF, and functional class. At multivariate analysis, LV EF and M- or B-Mode indexes of LA function were the only independent predictors of NT-pro-BNP values. A NT-pro-BNP cut-off of 1480 pg/mL identified LA dysfunction with 89% specificity and 54% sensitivity. CONCLUSION In CHF patients with severely impaired systolic function, NT-pro-BNP levels reflect LA and LV dysfunction. These data should prompt studies to investigate the relationship between changes of LA function and NT-pro-BNP levels and their clinical value as prognostic and therapeutic targets in CHF.
