5 Natriuretic Peptides 1. Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP) 2. Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) 3. C-Type Natriuretic Peptide (CNP) Chen H, Burnett Jr. Eur Heart J Suppl 2006

6 BNP in diagnosis In the Breathing Not Properly Study, a BNP cutoff of 100 pg ml was 76% specific and 90% sensitive for the diagnosis of HF in patients presenting to the emergency department with dyspnea. In Acute Shortness of Breath Evaluation (BASEL) study documented that in acute decompensated HF patients assessment of BNP levels can lead to rapid diagnosis and early treatment. Maisel AS, et al. N Engl J Med 2002;347(3): Mueller C, et al. N Engl J Med 2004;350(7):

10 BNP in prognosis BNP is an independent predictor of death in patients with chronic heart failure, and is superior to atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) for predicting mortality. Tsutamoto T et al. Circulation 1997;96: BNP is also an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in patients with asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic left ventricular dysfunction, being superior to norepinephrine and left ventricular volumes Tsutamoto T et al. Eur Heart J 1999;20:

16 Biomarkers in HF Neurohormonal biomarkers Biomarkers of myocardial injury Biomarkers of inflammation & oxidative stress Other (fibrosis, cardiorenal, genetic etc)

17 Troponins Additional myocardial damage from necrosis or apoptosis due to acute or chronic heart failure is believed to be responsible for higher cardiac troponins in HF patients. The presence of plasma troponin in HF patients is considered a condition associated with poor prognosis Kawahara C et al. Am Heart J 2011;162(4): O'Connor CM et al.

22 Levels of TNF-α are related with echocardiographic indexes of both systolic and diastolic left ventricular function. Other cytokines implicated in the pathogenesis of CHF are IL-1 and IL-6.

Clin Chem 2008;54(4):752-6 ST2 The ST2 is a member of the interleukin-1 receptor family Concentrations of ST2 have been reported to be elevated in patients with HF. Increased ST2 plasma concentrations are independently and strongly associated with oneyear all-cause mortality in HF.

32 Changes in Galectin-3 > 15% predict mortality and hospitalization

33 Biomarkers in HF GUIDELINES

34 Measurement of natriuretic peptide (BNP, NT-proBNP, or MR-proANP) should be considered to: 1) Exclude alternative causes of dyspnoea (if the level is below the exclusion cut-point HF is very unlikely) 2) Obtain prognostic information (CLASS IIa, Level of Evidence: A)

35 In the acute setting: MR-proANP may also be used cut-off point 120 pmol/l <120 pmol/l = heart failure unlikely

38 CONCLUSION A variety of biomarkers reflects different pathophysiologic states of HF syndrome and different stages in the progression of the disease Only NP and cardiac troponins are widely used in every day clinical practice as the majority of the rest biomarkers are not easily available, are expensive, or their clinical value is low. Combination of several biomarkers is needed to strengthen the clinical value of established biomarkers in HF patients. If improvement of prognosis is a therapy target, NP therapy guidance could be useful Tousoulis D, Oikonomou E, Siasos G Stefanadis C. Curr Med Chem.

56 mmendations for Measurement of C-Reactive Protein (continued) I IIaIIb III I IIaIIb III I IIaIIb III In asymptomatic intermediate-risk men 50 years of age or younger or women 60 years of age or younger, measurement of CRP may be reasonable for cardiovascular risk assessment. In asymptomatic high-risk adults, measurement of CRP is not recommended for cardiovascular risk assessment. In low-risk men younger than 50 years of age or women 60 years of age or younger, measurement of CRP is not recommended for cardiovascular risk assessment.
