ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Systemic inflammation has been identified as a major cardiovascular risk factor in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), yet currently, it is not adequately portrayed in scores for pre-interventional risk assessment. The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive ability of TNF-α in TAVR.METHODS:
A total of 431 patients undergoing transfemoral TAVR were enrolled in this study. Blood samples were drawn prior to intervention, 24 h post-intervention, 4, 5, and 7 days post-intervention, and 1, 3, and 6 months post-TAVR.RESULTS:
In a univariate Cox proportional hazard analysis, plasma concentrations of TNF-α after 24 h and after 5 days were associated with mortality after 12 months (after 24 h HR 1.002 (1.000-1.004), p = 0.028; after 5d HR 1.003 (1.001-1.005), p = 0.013). This association remained significant even after correction for confounders in a multivariate Cox regression analysis. Additionally, cut-offs were calculated. Patients above the cut-off for TNF-α after 5d had a significantly worse 12-month mortality than patients below the cut-off (18.8% vs. 2.8%, p = 0.046).CONCLUSION:
Plasma levels of TNF-α after 24 h and 5 days were independently associated with 12-month mortality in patients undergoing TAVR. Thus, TNF-α could represent a novel biomarker for enhanced risk stratification in these patients.Palavras-chave
