ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Reliable predictors of treatment efficacy in heart failure have been long awaited. DNA damage has been implicated as a cause of heart failure.OBJECTIVES:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of DNA damage in myocardial tissue with treatment response and prognosis of heart failure.METHODS:
The authors performed immunostaining of DNA damage markers poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) and γ-H2A.X in endomyocardial biopsy specimens from 175 patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) of various underlying etiologies. They calculated the percentage of nuclei positive for each DNA damage marker (%PAR and %γ-H2A.X). The primary outcome was left ventricular reverse remodeling (LVRR) at 1 year, and the secondary outcome was a composite of cardiovascular death, heart transplantation, and ventricular assist device implantation.RESULTS:
Patients who did not achieve LVRR after the optimization of medical therapies presented with significantly higher %PAR and %γ-H2A.X. The ROC analysis demonstrated good performance of both %PAR and %γ-H2A.X for predicting LVRR (AUCs 0.867 and 0.855, respectively). There was a negative correlation between the mean proportion of DNA damage marker-positive nuclei and the probability of LVRR across different underlying diseases. In addition, patients with higher %PAR or %γ-H2A.X had more long-term clinical events (PAR HR 1.63 [95% CI 1.31-2.01]; P < 0.001; γ-H2A.X HR 1.48 [95% CI 1.27-1.72]; P < 0.001).CONCLUSIONS:
DNA damage determines the consequences of human heart failure. Assessment of DNA damage is useful to predict treatment efficacy and prognosis of heart failure patients with various underlying etiologies.Palavras-chave
