There are limited prospective data evaluating the role of urinary F2-IsoP and NOX2 as predictive markers in atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim of this study was to analyse the role of urinary prostaglandin PGF2alpha (8-iso-PGF2α) and NOX2, markers of systemic oxidative stress, in predicting cardiovascular (CV) events and mortality in anticoagulated non-valvular AF patients. This was a prospective study including 1,002 anticoagulated AF patients, followed for a median time of 25.7 months (interquartile range: 14.8-50.9). All major CV events, CV deaths and all-cause deaths were considered as primary outcomes of the study. CV events included fatal/nonfatal ischaemic stroke, fatal/nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), cardiac revascularisation and transient ischaemic attack (TIA). Oxidative stress biomarkers, such as urinary 8-iso-PGF2α and serum sNOX2-dp, a marker of NOX2 activation, were measured. A CV event occurred in 125 patients (12.5 %); 78 CV deaths and 31 non-CV deaths were registered. 8-iso-PGF2α and sNOX2-dp were correlated (Rs=0.765 p< 0.001). A significant increased cumulative incidence of CV events and CV deaths was observed across tertiles for 8-iso-PGF2α and sNOX2-dp. An increased rate of all-cause death was observed across tertiles of urinary 8-iso-PGF2α. In Cox or Fine and Gray models, 8-iso-PGF2α predicted CV events and CV and non-CV deaths. The addition of tertiles of 8-iso-PGF2α to CHA2DS2-VASc score improved ROC curves for each outcome and NRI for CV events (0.24 [0.06-0.53] p=0.0067). The study shows that in AF patients 8-iso-PGF2α and NOX2 levels are predictive of CV events and total mortality. F2-IsoP may complement conventional risk factors in prediction of CV events.
评估尿F2-异前列腺素(F2-IsoP)和NOX2作为心房颤动(AF)预测标志物作用的前瞻性数据有限。本研究的目的是分析尿前列腺素PGF2α(8-异前列腺素F2α)和NOX2(全身氧化应激标志物)在预测抗凝非瓣膜性AF患者心血管(CV)事件和死亡率中的作用。这是一项前瞻性研究,纳入了1002例接受抗凝治疗的AF患者,中位随访时间为25.7个月(四分位间距:14.8 - 50.9个月)。所有主要CV事件、CV死亡和全因死亡均被视为该研究的主要结局。CV事件包括致命性/非致命性缺血性卒中、致命性/非致命性心肌梗死(MI)、心脏血运重建和短暂性脑缺血发作(TIA)。测量了氧化应激生物标志物,如尿8-异前列腺素F2α和血清sNOX2-dp(NOX2激活标志物)。125例患者(12.5%)发生了CV事件;记录到78例CV死亡和31例非CV死亡。8-异前列腺素F2α与sNOX2-dp相关(Rs = 0.765,p < 0.001)。在8-异前列腺素F2α和sNOX2-dp的三分位数中,观察到CV事件和CV死亡的累积发生率显著增加。在尿8-异前列腺素F2α的三分位数中,观察到全因死亡率增加。在Cox或Fine and Gray模型中,8-异前列腺素F2α可预测CV事件以及CV和非CV死亡。将8-异前列腺素F2α的三分位数添加到CHA2DS2-VASc评分中,可改善每个结局的ROC曲线以及CV事件的净重新分类指数(NRI)(0.24 [0.06 - 0.53],p = 0.0067)。该研究表明,在AF患者中,8-异前列腺素F2α和NOX2水平可预测CV事件和总死亡率。F2-IsoP可能在预测CV事件中补充传统危险因素。
