ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Heart failure (HF) pathophysiology in patients with obesity may be distinct. To study these features, we identified obesity-related biomarkers from 4210 circulating proteins in patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and examined associations of these proteins with HF prognosis and biological mechanisms.METHODS:
In 373 patients with trimonthly blood sampling during a median follow-up of 2.1 (25th-75th percentile 1.1-2.6) years, we applied an aptamer-based multiplex approach measuring 4210 proteins in baseline samples and the last two samples before study end. Associations between obesity (BMI > 30 kg/m2) and baseline protein levels were analyzed. Subsequently, associations of serially measured obesity-related proteins with biological mechanisms and the primary endpoint (PEP; composite of cardiovascular mortality, HF hospitalization, left ventricular assist device implantation, and heart transplantation) were examined.RESULTS:
Obesity was identified in 26% (96/373) of patients. A total of 30% (112/373) experienced a PEP (with obesity 26% [25/96] vs. without obesity 31% [87/277]). A total of 141/4210 proteins were linked to obesity, reflecting mechanisms of neuron projection development, cell adhesion, and muscle cell migration. A total of 50/141 proteins were associated with the PEP, of which 12 proteins related to atherosclerosis or hypertrophy provided prognostic information beyond clinical characteristics, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, and high-sensitivity troponin T.CONCLUSIONS:
Patients with HFrEF and obesity show distinct proteomic profiles compared to patients with HFrEF without obesity. Obesity-related proteins are independently associated with HF outcome. These proteins carry potential to improve management of obesity-related HF and could be leads for future research.
