N-terminal pro-brain natural peptide (NT-pro-BNP) is a well-established biomarker of tissue congestion and has prognostic value in patients with heart failure (HF). Nonetheless, there is scarce evidence on its predictive capacity for HF re-admission after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We performed a prospective, single-center study in all patients discharged after an ACS. HF re-admission was analyzed by competing risk regression, taking all-cause mortality as a competing event. Results are presented as sub-hazard ratios (sHR). Recurrent hospitalizations were tested by negative binomial regression, and results are presented as incidence risk ratio (IRR).
Of the 2133 included patients, 528 (24.8%) had HF during the ACS hospitalization, and their pro-BNP levels were higher (3220 pg/mL vs. 684.2 pg/mL; < 0.001). In-hospital mortality was 2.9%, and pro-BNP was similarly higher in these patients. Increased pro-BNP levels were correlated to increased risk of HF or death during the hospitalization. Over follow-up (median 38 months) 243 (11.7%) patients had at least one hospital readmission for HF and 151 (7.1%) had more than one. Complete revascularization had a preventive effect on HF readmission, whereas several other variables were associated with higher risk. Pro-BNP was independently associated with HF admission (sHR: 1.47) and readmission (IRR: 1.45) at any age. Significant interactions were found for the predictive value of pro-BNP in women, diabetes, renal dysfunction, STEMI and patients without troponin elevation.
In-hospital determination of pro-BNP is an independent predictor of HF readmission after an ACS.
N 末端脑钠肽前体(NT-pro-BNP)是一种公认的组织充血生物标志物,对心力衰竭(HF)患者具有预后价值。然而,关于其对急性冠状动脉综合征(ACS)后 HF 再入院的预测能力的证据很少。我们对所有 ACS 后出院的患者进行了一项前瞻性单中心研究。通过竞争风险回归分析 HF 再入院情况,将全因死亡率作为竞争事件。结果以亚危险比(sHR)表示。通过负二项回归测试再住院情况,结果以发病风险比(IRR)表示。
在纳入的 2133 例患者中,528 例(24.8%)在 ACS 住院期间发生 HF,他们的脑钠肽前体水平更高(3220 pg/mL 对 684.2 pg/mL;<0.001)。住院死亡率为 2.9%,这些患者的脑钠肽前体水平同样更高。住院期间脑钠肽前体水平升高与 HF 或死亡风险增加相关。在随访期间(中位 38 个月),243 例(11.7%)患者因 HF 至少有一次再次入院,151 例(7.1%)患者有不止一次。完全血运重建对 HF 再入院有预防作用,而其他几个变量与较高风险相关。脑钠肽前体在任何年龄均与 HF 入院(sHR:1.47)和再入院(IRR:1.45)独立相关。在女性、糖尿病、肾功能不全、ST 段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)和肌钙蛋白未升高的患者中,发现脑钠肽前体的预测价值存在显著相互作用。
住院期间测定脑钠肽前体是 ACS 后 HF 再入院的独立预测因素。
