Among persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (PHIV), incident heart failure (HF) rates are increased and outcomes are worse; however, the role of amino-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentrations among PHIV with HF has not been characterized.
Patients were derived from a registry of those hospitalized with HF at an academic center in a calender year. We compared the NT-proBNP concentrations and the changes in NT-proBNP levels between PHIV with HF and uninfected controls with HF.
Among 2578 patients with HF, there were 434 PHIV; 90% were prescribed antiretroviral therapy and 62% were virally suppressed. As compared to controls, PHIV had higher admission (3822 [IQR, 2413-7784] pg/ml vs 5546 [IQR, 3257-8792] pg/ml, respectively; P < .001), higher discharge (1922 [IQR, 1045-4652] pg/ml vs 3372 [IQR, 1553-5452] pg/ml, respectively; P < .001), and lower admission-to-discharge changes in NT-proBNP levels (32 vs 48%, respectively; P = .007). Similar findings were noted after stratifying based on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). In a multivariate analysis, cocaine use, a lower LVEF, a higher NYHA class, a higher viral load (VL), and a lower CD4 count were associated with higher NT-proBNP concentrations. In follow-up, among PHIV, a higher admission NT-proBNP concentration was associated with increased cardiovascular mortality (first tertile, 11.5; second tertile, 20; third tertile, 44%; P < .001). Among PHIV, each doubling of NT-proBNP was associated with a 19% increased risk of death. However, among patients living without HIV, each doubling was associated with a 27% increased risk; this difference was attenuated among PHIV with lower VLs and higher CD4 counts.
PHIV with HF had higher admission and discharge NT-proBNP levels, and less change in NT-proBNP concentrations. Among PHIV, VLs and CD4 counts were associated with NT-proBNP concentrations; in follow-up, higher NT-proBNP levels among PHIV were associated with cardiovascular mortality.
在人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染者(PHIV)中,心力衰竭(HF)的发生率增加,结局更差;然而,HF 合并 PHIV 患者的氨基末端 B 型利钠肽前体(NT-proBNP)浓度的作用尚未明确。
本研究患者来源于某学术中心住院 HF 患者的登记系统,在该系统中,我们比较了 HF 合并 PHIV 患者与未感染 HF 的对照组之间的 NT-proBNP 浓度和 NT-proBNP 水平变化。
在 2578 例 HF 患者中,有 434 例为 PHIV;90%接受了抗逆转录病毒治疗,62%病毒得到了抑制。与对照组相比,PHIV 的入院时(3822[IQR,2413-7784]pg/ml 比 5546[IQR,3257-8792]pg/ml;P<0.001)、出院时(1922[IQR,1045-4652]pg/ml 比 3372[IQR,1553-5452]pg/ml;P<0.001)和 NT-proBNP 水平入院-出院变化(32%比 48%;P=0.007)均较高。基于左心室射血分数(LVEF)分层后也有类似发现。在多变量分析中,可卡因使用、较低的 LVEF、较高的纽约心脏协会(NYHA)分级、较高的病毒载量(VL)和较低的 CD4 计数与较高的 NT-proBNP 浓度相关。随访期间,PHIV 中,较高的入院 NT-proBNP 浓度与心血管死亡率增加相关(第 1 三分位,11.5;第 2 三分位,20;第 3 三分位,44%;P<0.001)。PHIV 中,NT-proBNP 每增加一倍,死亡风险增加 19%。然而,在未感染 HIV 的患者中,NT-proBNP 每增加一倍,死亡风险增加 27%;这种差异在 VL 较低和 CD4 计数较高的 PHIV 中减弱。
HF 合并 PHIV 的入院和出院 NT-proBNP 水平较高,NT-proBNP 浓度变化较小。VL 和 CD4 计数与 PHIV 的 NT-proBNP 浓度相关;随访期间,PHIV 中较高的 NT-proBNP 水平与心血管死亡率相关。
