ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To identify the predictive value on time to onset of heart failure (HF) or cardiac death of clinical, radiographic, and echocardiographic variables, as well as cardiac biomarkers N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and cardiac troponin I in dogs with preclinical myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD). ANIMALS One hundred sixty-eight dogs with preclinical MMVD and left atrium to aortic root ratio ≥1.6 (LAAo) and normalized left ventricular end-diastolic diameter ≥1.7 were included.METHODS:
Prospective, randomized, multicenter, single-blinded, placebo-controlled study. Clinical, radiographic, echocardiographic variables and plasma cardiac biomarkers concentrations were compared at different time points. Using receiving operating curves analysis, best cutoff for selected variables was identified and the risk to develop the study endpoint at six-month intervals was calculated.RESULTS:
Left atrial to aortic root ratio >2.1 (hazard ratio [HR] 3.2, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.9-5.6), normalized left ventricular end-diastolic diameter > 1.9 (HR 6.3; 95% CI 3.3-11.8), early transmitral peak velocity (E peak) > 1 m/sec (HR 3.9; 95% CI 2.3-6.7), and NT-proBNP > 1500 ρmol/L (HR 5.7; 95% CI 3.3-9.5) were associated with increased risk of HF or cardiac death. The best fit model to predict the risk to reach the endpoint was represented by the plasma NT-proBNP concentrations adjusted for LAAo and E peak.CONCLUSIONS:
Logistic and survival models including echocardiographic variables and NT-proBNP can be used to identify dogs with preclinical MMVD at higher risk to develop HF or cardiac death.Palabras clave
