Abstract
Iron deficiency (ID) is common in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). It is unknown whether patients with AMI combined with ID will benefit from iron supplementation therapy. This study aimed to assess the relationship between iron therapy and mortality in AMI patients. Retrospective analysis was performed in subjects screened from the Medical Information Mart in Intensive Care-IV database. The data were obtained from ICU patients admitted to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center between 2008 and 2019. The patients were divided into two groups according to iron treatment exposure. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed in the original cohort at a 1:1 ratio. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to adjust for confounding factors. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality. A total of 426 patients were included in this study. After 1:1 PSM, 208 patients were analyzed. Iron treatment was associated with a lower risk of 28-day mortality (9 deaths (8.65%) in the iron treatment group vs. 21 deaths (20.19%) in the non-iron treatment group; HR = 0.39; 95% CI = 0.17-0.89; p = 0.025) and in-hospital mortality (4 deaths (3.85%) in the iron treatment group vs. 12 deaths (11.54%) in the non-iron treatment group; OR, 0.15; 95% CI, 0.03-0.74; p = 0.029). Iron treatment was associated with reduced 28-day mortality in patients with AMI combined with ID. Iron treatment had no significant effect on the length of hospitalization or the length of ICU stay. Prospective studies are needed to verify this conclusion.

Discovering novel biomarkers for diagnosis and treatment monitoring of active pulmonary tuberculosis by ion metabolism analysis. Microbiol Res 2024; 283:127670.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is a highly lethal infectious disease that poses a global threat. Timely and accurate biomarker for TB diagnosis and treatment monitoring remains a pressing need. Ions, the crucial trace element for humans, may be potential targets for TB diagnosis and the forecasting of TB development. To explore the potential of ions as biomarkers, we measured and compared the levels of various ions in whole blood and plasma samples from healthy control (HC), pulmonary TB patients (TB), cured pulmonary TB patients (RxTB), and other non-TB pneumonia patients (PN) by using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Our study demonstrated that Cu (AUC = 0.670), Pb (AUC = 0.660), and Zn (AUC = 0.701) in whole blood exhibited promising diagnostic performance for TB. Then we used a neural network (NNET) for TB prediction, the AUC values used to differentiate definite TB from HC or PN in plasma were 0.867 and 0.864, respectively. The AUC values used to differentiate definite TB from HC or PN in whole blood were 0.818 and 0.660, respectively. Our correlation analysis showed that Zn (r= 0.356, p=0.001) and Cu (r= 0.361, p=0.0004) in plasma are most closely related to disease severity. Additionally, six ions (Cu, Sb, V, Mn, Fe, Sr) in plasma and whole blood were altered following anti-TB therapy. These results showed that ions could be diagnostic biomarkers for TB. Furthermore, the level of particular ions can forecast the degree of lung damage and the success of the TB treatment. In conclusion, this study highlights the possibility of using ions from blood samples to enable rapid tuberculosis diagnosis.

Abstract
Systemic iron deficiency (SID), even in the absence of anaemia, worsens the prognosis and increases mortality in heart failure (HF). Recent clinical-epidemiological studies, however, have shown that a myocardial iron deficiency (MID) is frequently present in cases of severe HF, even in the absence of SID and without anaemia. In addition, experimental studies have shown a poor correlation between the state of systemic and myocardial iron. MID in animal models leads to severe mitochondrial dysfunction, alterations of mitophagy, and mitochondrial biogenesis, with profound alterations in cardiac mechanics and the occurrence of a fatal cardiomyopathy, all effects prevented by intravenous administration of iron. This shifts the focus to the myocardial state of iron, in the absence of anaemia, as an important factor in prognostic worsening and mortality in HF. There is now epidemiological evidence that SID worsens prognosis and mortality also in patients with acute and chronic coronary heart disease and experimental evidence that MID aggravates acute myocardial ischaemia as well as post-ischaemic remodelling. Intravenous administration of ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) or ferric dextrane improves post-ischaemic adverse remodelling. We here review such evidence, propose that MID worsens ischaemia/reperfusion injury, and discuss possible molecular mechanisms, such as chronic hyperactivation of HIF1-α, exacerbation of cytosolic and mitochondrial calcium overload, amplified increase of mitochondrial [NADH]/[NAD+] ratio, and depletion of energy status and NAD+ content with inhibition of sirtuin 1-3 activity. Such evidence now portrays iron metabolism as a core factor not only in HF but also in myocardial ischaemia.

Abstract
AIMS Heart failure (HF) after myocardial infarction (MI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. We sought to investigate the functional importance of cardiac iron status after MI and the potential of pre-emptive iron supplementation in preventing cardiac iron deficiency (ID) and attenuating left ventricular (LV) remodelling. METHODS AND RESULTS MI was induced in C57BL/6J male mice by left anterior descending coronary artery ligation. Cardiac iron status in the non-infarcted LV myocardium was dynamically regulated after MI: non-haem iron and ferritin increased at 4 weeks but decreased at 24 weeks after MI. Cardiac ID at 24 weeks was associated with reduced expression of iron-dependent electron transport chain (ETC) Complex I compared with sham-operated mice. Hepcidin expression in the non-infarcted LV myocardium was elevated at 4 weeks and suppressed at 24 weeks. Hepcidin suppression at 24 weeks was accompanied by more abundant expression of membrane-localized ferroportin, the iron exporter, in the non-infarcted LV myocardium. Notably, similarly dysregulated iron homeostasis was observed in LV myocardium from failing human hearts, which displayed lower iron content, reduced hepcidin expression, and increased membrane-bound ferroportin. Injecting ferric carboxymaltose (15 µg/g body weight) intravenously at 12, 16, and 20 weeks after MI preserved cardiac iron content and attenuated LV remodelling and dysfunction at 24 weeks compared with saline-injected mice. CONCLUSION We demonstrate, for the first time, that dynamic changes in cardiac iron status after MI are associated with local hepcidin suppression, leading to cardiac ID long term after MI. Pre-emptive iron supplementation maintained cardiac iron content and attenuated adverse remodelling after MI. Our results identify the spontaneous development of cardiac ID as a novel disease mechanism and therapeutic target in post-infarction LV remodelling and HF.

Nitrosative and Oxidative Stress, Reduced Antioxidant Capacity, and Fiber Type Switch in Iron-Deficient COPD Patients: Analysis of Muscle and Systemic Compartments. Nutrients 2023; 15:nu15061454. [PMID: 36986182 PMCID: PMC10053245 DOI: 10.3390/nu15061454] [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] [Revised: 03/07/2023] [Accepted: 03/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/19/2023] Open
Abstract
We hypothesized that a rise in the levels of oxidative/nitrosative stress markers and a decline in antioxidants might take place in systemic and muscle compartments of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with non-anemic iron deficiency. In COPD patients with/without iron depletion (n = 20/group), markers of oxidative/nitrosative stress and antioxidants were determined in blood and vastus lateralis (biopsies, muscle fiber phenotype). Iron metabolism, exercise, and limb muscle strength were assessed in all patients. In iron-deficient COPD compared to non-iron deficient patients, oxidative (lipofuscin) and nitrosative stress levels were greater in muscle and blood compartments and proportions of fast-twitch fibers, whereas levels of mitochondrial superoxide dismutase (SOD) and Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) decreased. In severe COPD, nitrosative stress and reduced antioxidant capacity were demonstrated in vastus lateralis and systemic compartments of iron-deficient patients. The slow- to fast-twitch muscle fiber switch towards a less resistant phenotype was significantly more prominent in muscles of these patients. Iron deficiency is associated with a specific pattern of nitrosative and oxidative stress and reduced antioxidant capacity in severe COPD irrespective of quadriceps muscle function. In clinical settings, parameters of iron metabolism and content should be routinely quantify given its implications in redox balance and exercise tolerance.

Abstract
Iron deficiency has been extensively researched and is associated with adverse outcomes in heart failure. However, to our knowledge, the temporal evolution of iron status has not been previously investigated in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Therefore, we aimed to explore the temporal pattern of repeatedly measured iron, ferritin, transferrin, and transferrin saturation (TSAT) in relation to prognosis post-ACS. BIOMArCS (BIOMarker study to identify the Acute risk of a Coronary Syndrome) is a prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study conducted in The Netherlands between 2008 and 2015. A total of 844 patients with post-ACS were enrolled and underwent high-frequency (median 17) blood sampling during 1 year follow-up. Biomarkers of iron status were measured batchwise in a central laboratory. We analyzed 3 patient subsets, including the case-cohort (n = 187). The primary endpoint (PE) was a composite of cardiovascular mortality and repeat nonfatal ACS, including unstable angina pectoris requiring revascularization. The association between iron status and the PE was analyzed using multivariable joint models. Mean age was 63 years; 78% were men, and >50% had iron deficiency at first sample in the case-cohort. After adjustment for a broad range of clinical variables, 1 SD decrease in log-iron was associated with a 2.2-fold greater risk of the PE (hazard ratio 2.19, 95% confidence interval 1.34 to 3.54, p = 0.002). Similarly, 1 SD decrease in log-TSAT was associated with a 78% increased risk of the PE (hazard ratio 1.78, 95% confidence interval 1.17 to 2.65, p = 0.006). Ferritin and transferrin were not associated with the PE. Repeated measurements of iron and TSAT predict risk of adverse outcomes in patients with post-ACS during 1 year follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Iron deficiency is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in older adults. However, data on its prevalence and incidence among older adults is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and incidence of iron deficiency in European community-dwelling older adults aged ≥ 70 years. METHODS Secondary analysis of the DO-HEALTH trial, a 3-year clinical trial including 2157 community-dwelling adults aged ≥ 70 years from Austria, France, Germany, Portugal and Switzerland. Iron deficiency was defined as soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) > 28.1 nmol/L. Prevalence and incidence rate (IR) of iron deficiency per 100 person-years were examined overall and stratified by sex, age group, and country. Sensitivity analysis for three commonly used definitions of iron deficiency (ferritin < 45 μg/L, ferritin < 30 μg/L, and sTfR-ferritin index > 1.5) were also performed. RESULTS Out of 2157 participants, 2141 had sTfR measured at baseline (mean age 74.9 years; 61.5% women). The prevalence of iron deficiency at baseline was 26.8%, and did not differ by sex, but by age (35.6% in age group ≥ 80, 29.3% in age group 75-79, 23.2% in age group 70-74); P < 0.0001) and country (P = 0.02), with the highest prevalence in Portugal (34.5%) and the lowest in France (24.4%). As for the other definitions of iron deficiency, the prevalence ranged from 4.2% for ferritin < 30 µg/L to 35.3% for sTfR-ferritin index > 1.5. Occurrences of iron deficiency were observed with IR per 100 person-years of 9.2 (95% CI 8.3-10.1) and did not significantly differ by sex or age group. The highest IR per 100 person-years was observed in Austria (20.8, 95% CI 16.1-26.9), the lowest in Germany (6.1, 95% CI 4.7-8.0). Regarding the other definitions of iron deficiency, the IR per 100 person-years was 4.5 (95% CI 4.0-4.9) for ferritin < 45 µg/L, 2.4 (95% CI 2.2-2.7) for ferritin < 30 µg/L, and 12.2 (95% CI 11.0-13.5) for sTfR-ferritin index > 1.5. CONCLUSIONS Iron deficiency is frequent among relatively healthy European older adults, with people aged ≥ 80 years and residence in Austria and Portugal associated with the highest risk.

Decreased Iron Ion Concentrations in the Peripheral Blood Correlate with Coronary Atherosclerosis. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14020319. [PMID: 35057500 PMCID: PMC8781549 DOI: 10.3390/nu14020319] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2021] [Revised: 12/29/2021] [Accepted: 01/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Obesity and diabetes continue to reach epidemic levels in the population with major health impacts that include a significantly increased risk of coronary atherosclerosis. The imbalance of trace elements in the body caused by nutritional factors can lead to the progression of coronary atherosclerosis. (2) Methods: We measured the concentrations of sodium (Na), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), Zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe) in peripheral blood samples from 4243 patients and performed baseline analysis and propensity matching of the patient datasets. The patients were grouped into acute myocardial infarction (AMI, 702 patients) and stable coronary heart disease (SCAD1, 253 patients) groups. Both of these groups were included in the AS that had a total of 1955 patients. The control group consisted of 2288 patients. The plasma concentrations of calcium, magnesium, and iron were measured using a colorimetric method. For comparison, 15 external quality assessment (EQA) samples were selected from the Clinical Laboratory Center of the Ministry of Health of China. SPSS software was used for statistical analysis. The average values and deviations of all of the indicators in each group were calculated, and a p-value threshold of <0.05 was used to indicate statistical significance. (3) Results: The iron ion concentrations of the acute myocardial infarction (AMI) group were significantly lower than the control group (p < 0.05, AUC = 0.724, AUC = 0.702), irrespective of tendency matching. Compared to the data from the stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) group, the concentration of iron ions in the acute myocardial infarction group was significantly lower (p < 0.05, AUC = 0.710, AUC = 0.682). Furthermore, the iron ion concentrations in the (AMI + SCAD) group were significantly lower (p < 0.05) than in the control group. (4) Conclusions: The data presented in this study strongly indicate that the concentration of iron ions in the peripheral blood is related to coronary atherosclerosis. Decreases in the levels of iron ions in the peripheral blood can be used as a predictive biomarker of coronary atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Imbalances in trace element concentrations in the blood as a result of poor nutrition may affect the development of coronary heart disease. To study the relationship between zinc ion concentration in the peripheral blood and coronary heart disease, we performed multiple logistic regression and hierarchical analyses on blood measurements of 3541 patients. The experimental group comprised 1253 patients diagnosed with coronary heart disease, and the control group included 2288 healthy patients. The zinc ion concentrations were measured by a color rendering method, and the results were analyzed using SPSS software. Fifteen laboratory quality evaluation samples from the Clinical Laboratory Center of the Chinese Ministry of Health were selected for analysis. The mean values and average bias were calculated. The estimated qualified judgment standard was < 1/2 TEa (the allowable total error for zinc). A hierarchical analysis of risk factors, including smoking, age, sex, and menopause in women, was performed. The results revealed that non-smoking, aging (especially postmenopausal women), and low blood zinc concentrations were independent risk factors for the development of coronary heart disease (P ≤ 0.05, zinc ion concentration less than 13.82 ± 2.91). The findings strongly suggest that decreased zinc ion concentrations in the peripheral blood can be used as an independent risk factor for the prediction of coronary heart disease, especially in older patients, non-smokers, and women, in particular, postmenopausal women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Iron deficiency (IDef) is a prevalent condition in patients with heart disease and in those with heart failure (HF). Evidence has shown that this deficit is associated with worse prognosis. Data in literature are scarce on the prognostic impact of IDef in acute coronary syndromes (ACS), which is the main objective of this study. METHODS Observational, retrospective study which included 817 patients admitted for ACS. Two groups were defined according to the presence (n=298) or absence of IDef (n=519) on admission. The clinical event under study was the occurrence of death or severe HF in the long term. Independent predictors of prognosis were determined with logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Thirty-six percent of patients had IDef. There was higher mortality (p=0.004), higher incidence of HF (p=0.011) during follow-up and a higher rate of hospital readmissions (p=0.048) in this group. IDef was an independent predictor of death or severe HF in follow-up, along with anemia, left ventricular dysfunction, renal dysfunction and the absence of revascularization. IDef also enabled us to further stratify the prognosis of patients without anemia based on the occurrence of death or severe HF and those with lower Killip classes (≤2) based on the occurrence of death. CONCLUSION IDef was an independent predictor of death or severe HF in patients admitted with ACS and enabled additional stratification for those without anemia on admission and in those with Killip classes ≤2.

Abstract
In patients with STEMI treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention, iron deficiency is associated with larger infarcts, more extensive microvascular obstruction, and a higher frequency of adverse left ventricular remodeling. An iron-deficient diet reduces the tolerance to ischemia/reperfusion in mice at least in part by interfering with the cardioprotective pathway eNOS/soluble guanylate cyclase/protein kinase G. An iron-deficient diet reduces eNOS activity by increasing oxidative/nitrosative stress and its proteasome-dependent degradation. Not only iron excess but also iron deficiency may have deleterious effects in the context of acute myocardial ischemia.
In patients with a first anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention, iron deficiency (ID) was associated with larger infarcts, more extensive microvascular obstruction, and higher frequency of adverse left ventricular remodeling as assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. In mice, an ID diet reduced the activity of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase/soluble guanylate cyclase/protein kinase G pathway in association with oxidative/nitrosative stress and increased infarct size after transient coronary occlusion. Iron supplementation or administration of an sGC activator before ischemia prevented the effects of the ID diet in mice. Not only iron excess, but also ID, may have deleterious effects in the setting of ischemia and reperfusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Iron deficiency (ID) is an important predictor of adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure, however it is unclear whether ID also affects prognosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the prognostic value of iron deficiency in patients with ACS. METHODS We searched PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane library and included cohort studies of patients with ACS that were stratified by ID status. There were no restrictions on definition of ACS or ID. Studies were systematically appraised and data extracted by two independent reviewers. Meta-analysis was performed where two or more studies reported on the same pre-determined outcome measure. RESULTS Seven studies with 2821 participants were identified, reporting a high prevalence of ID in the ACS population. Three studies reported worse long-term outcomes in the ID population, whereas short-term outcomes were heterogeneous across studies. CONCLUSIONS Patients with ID presenting with ACS may have a worse long-term prognosis but more studies are required for confirmation. A role for ID in prognosis of patients with ACS and as a potentially treatable condition may have implication for the current management of this patient population.
