Abstract
Objective
To explore the correlation between levels of serum lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (LP-PLA2) and soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2) and condition of acute heart failure (AHF) patients and their predictive value for prognosis.
Methods
The data of patients who complained of acute dyspnea and were treated in our hospital (January 2018-January 2020) were selected for review analysis, and those diagnosed with AHF by means of chest films, physical examination, cardiogram, and color Doppler ultrasonography (CDS) were selected as the study objects. The patients were split into the mild group (I or II, 55 cases) and the severe group (III or IV, 50 cases) according to the clinical condition grading standard in Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Heart Failure. In addition, 105 healthy individuals examined in our medical center in the same period were selected as the control group. The serum LP-PLA2 and sST2 levels of all study objects were measured to analyze the correlation between these levels and AHF condition. Readmission due to heart failure and all-cause death were regarded as the endpoint events, and after one year of follow-up visits, the occurrence of the endpoint events in patients of the two groups was recorded, and with the endpoint events as the variable, the patients were divided into the event group and nonevent group to establish a logistic regression analysis model and analyze the merit of serum LP-PLA2 and sST2 in evaluating patient outcome.
Results
The patients' general information such as age and gender between the severe group and the mild group were not statistically different (P > 0.05), and the levels of high-sensitivity c-reactive protein (CRP), hemoglobin, creatinine, and uric acid of the severe group were greatly different from those of the mild group (P < 0.001), the comparison result of serum LP-PLA2 and sST2 levels was severe group > mild group > control group (P all <0.001), and the serum LP-PLA2 and sST2 levels of the severe group were, respectively, 275.98 ± 50.68 ng/ml and 2,122.65 ± 568.65 ng/ml; among 105 AHF patients, 50 of them had endpoint events (47.6%), including 36 in the severe group (36/50, 72.0%) and 14 in the mild group (14/55, 25.5%), and the event group presented greatly higher serum LP-PLA2 and sST2 levels than in the nonevent group (P < 0.001); according to the logistic regression analysis, serum LP-PLA2 and sST2 had independent predictive value for prognosis of AHF patients, which could be used as the independent predictive factors for 1-year prognosis.
Conclusion
Serum LP-PLA2 and sST2 have a good diagnosis value for the condition and prognosis of AHF patients, which shall be promoted and applied in practice.
