Abstract
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third most common type of cardiovascular disease and carries a high mortality rate of 30% if left untreated. Although it is commonly known that individuals who suffer heart failure (HF) are more likely to experience a pulmonary embolism, little is known concerning the prognostic relationship between acute PE and HF. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic usefulness of heart failure and pro-BNP in pulmonary embolism cases. A scientific literature search, including PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane reviews, was used to assess and evaluate the most pertinent research that has been published. The findings showed that increased N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels could potentially identify pulmonary embolism patients with worse immediate prognoses and were highly predictive of all-cause death. Important prognostic information can be obtained from NT-proBNP and Heart-type Fatty Acid Binding Proteins (H-FABP) when examining individuals with PE. The heart, distal tubular cells of the renal system, and skeletal muscle are where H-FABP is primarily found, with myocardial cells having the highest concentration. Recent studies have indicated that these biomarkers may also help assess the severity of PE and its long-term risk.

Abstract
Background Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) is a common clinical condition. Its severity ranges from asymptomatic radiological findings to fatal obstructive shock. The potential circulating biomarkers have been studied to predict APE outcomes. This study aimed to explore their predictive power on prognosis in APE. Material and Method It was a prospective observational study between March 2008 and April 2010. All consecutive patients diagnosed with APE were categorized as massive/high-risk, submassive/moderate-risk, and non-massive/low-risk. Cardiac troponin T (cTnT), myoglobin, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP), growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15), and D-dimer levels were measured. Results Of these patients, 14 (29.8%), 16 (34.0%), and 17 (36.2%) patients were categorized as low-risk, moderate-risk, and high risk-patients, respectively. There was no significant difference between the patient groups categorized based on the risk stratification in terms of demographic and clinical characteristics. The cTnT, myoglobin, HFABP, and D-dimer levels have also not differed significantly between the groups. There was a significant difference between the groups in respect of NT-proBNP and GDF-15 levels (p=0.009 and p=0.037, respectively). Nine (19.1%) patients had died by the 3rd-month follow-up. Adverse events were seen in 26 (55.3%) patients. GDF-15 had the highest area under the curve (AUC) value for predicting any adverse event (cut-off value=9.3 ng/mL, AUC=0.796, CI (confidence interval) 95%: 0.653-0.899). NT-ProBNP was determined as the best predictor for mortality (cut-off value=229.2 pg/mL, AUC=0.889, CI 95%: 0.756-0.964). Conclusion Higher levels of NT-proBNP and GDF-15 were found to be associated with more severe APE, worse outcomes, and mortality.

Fatty Acid Binding Proteins 3 and 4 Predict Both All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality in Subjects with Chronic Heart Failure and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:antiox12030645. [PMID: 36978893 PMCID: PMC10044995 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12030645] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) are at increased risk for heart failure (HF). The cardiac-specific (FABP3) and adipose-tissue-specific (FABP4) types of the fatty acid binding proteins have been associated with both all-cause and cardiovascular (CV) mortality. The aim of this study was to explore the prognosis value of FABP3 and FABP4 in ambulatory subjects with chronic HF (CHF), with and without T2D. A prospective study involving 240 ambulatory CHF subjects was performed. Patients were followed-up for a mean of 5.78 ± 3.30 years and cause of death (if any) was recorded. Primary endpoints were defined as all-cause and CV death, and a composite endpoint that included CV death or hospitalization for HF was included as a secondary endpoint. Baseline serum samples were obtained and the serum FABP3 and FABP4 concentrations were assessed by sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Survival analysis was performed with multivariable Cox regressions, using Fine and Gray competing risks models when needed, to explore the prognostic value of FABP3 and FABP4 concentrations, adjusting for potential confounders. Type 2 diabetes mellitus was highly prevalent, accounting for 47.5% for total subjects with CHF. Subjects with T2D showed higher mortality rates (T2D: 69.30%; non-T2D: 50.79%, p = 0.004) and higher serum FABP3 (1829.3 (1104.9–3440.5) pg/mL vs. 1396.05 (820.3–2362.16) pg/mL, p = 0.007) and FABP4 (45.5 (27.6–79.8) ng/mL vs. 34.1 (24.09–55.3) ng/mL, p = 0.006) concentrations compared with non-T2D CHF subjects. In the whole study cohort, FABP3 was independently associated with all-cause death, and both FABP3 and FABP4 concentrations were associated with CV mortality. The predictive values of these two molecules for all-cause (FABP3: HR 1.25, 95% CI 1.09–1.44; p = 0.002. FABP4: HR 2.21, 95% CI 1.12–4.36; p = 0.023) and CV mortality (FABP3: HR 1.28, 95% CI 1.09–1.50; p = 0.002. FABP4: HR 4.19, 95% CI 2.21–7.95; p < 0.001) were only statistically significant in the subgroup of subjects with T2D. Notably, FABP4 (HR 2.07, 95% CI 1.11–3.87; p = 0.022), but not FABP3, also predicted the occurrence of the composite endpoint (death or hospitalization for HF) only in subjects with T2D. All these associations were not found in CHF subjects without T2D. Our findings support the usefulness of serum FABP3 and FABP4 concentrations as independent predictors for the occurrence of all-cause and CV mortality in ambulatory subjects with CHF with T2D.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pulmonary embolism (PE) remains one of the leading causes of mortality among cardiovascular diseases. We aimed at investigating risk factors of PE complications in patients with intermediate risk and integrate them into a simple model for its' bedside prediction. METHODS Among 173 patients with PE, 136 were classified as high or intermediate risk. Patients were retrospectively divided into groups of complicated (n = 44) or uncomplicated (n = 92) course. Study endpoints: obstructive shock, recurrent PE, needs for resuscitation/thrombolysis/hemodynamic support and death during 30 days. RESULTS Predictors of PE complications were: chronic heart failure, diabetes mellitus (DM), atrial fibrillation, permanent risk factor of venous thromboembolism, syncope, positive heart-type fatty acid binding protein (hFABP), positive troponin I, heart rate (HR) ≥ 110 bpm, systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≤ 100 mmHg, creatinine clearance ≤ 70 ml/min. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to model a simple predictive score named ROCky (Risk of Complications): HR ≥ 110 bpm (1.5 points), SBP ≤ 100 mmHg (2.5 points), positive hFABP (2 points) and presence of DM (2.5 points). The AUROC of this model was 0.89 to predict any complication, 0.83 for obstructive shock and 0.92 for death from any cause; the optimal cut-off scores for any complication was ≥2.5 points, ≥3.5 for obstructive shock and ≥4.5 points for death within 30 days. CONCLUSION hFABP, tachycardia, hypotension and DM were identified as the major independent determinants of complications development in patients with pulmonary embolism and may be used in combination as the bedside simple predictive ROCky score for early risk stratification in intermediate-risk group.

Abstract
Fatty acid-binding proteins, whose clinical applications have been studied, are a family of proteins that reflect tissue injury. Heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) is a marker of ongoing myocardial damage and useful for early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In the past decade, compared to other cardiac enzymes, H-FABP has shown more promise as an early detection marker for AMI. However, the role of H-FABP is being re-examined due to recent refinement in the search for newer biomarkers, and greater understanding of the role of high-sensitivity troponin. We discuss the current role of H-FABP as an early marker for AMI in the era of high sensitive troponin. H-FABP is highlighted as a prognostic marker for a broad spectrum of fatal diseases, viz., AMI, heart failure, arrhythmia, and pulmonary embolism that could be associated with poor clinical outcomes. Because the cut-off value of what constitutes an abnormal H-FABP potentially differs for each cardiovascular event and depends on the clinical setting, an optimal cut-off value has not been clearly established. Of note, several factors such as age, gender, and cardiovascular risk factors, which affect H-FABP levels need to be considered in this context. In this review, we discuss the clinical applications of H-FABP as a prognostic marker in various clinical settings.
