  • Circulating microRNA-29-5p can add to the discrimination between dilated cardiomyopathy and ischaemic heart disease
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: ESC Heart Failure. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 2055-5822. ; 8:5, s. 3865-3874

    • Aims: Heart failure describes a large and heterogeneous spectrum of underlying cardiac diseases. MicroRNAs (miRs) are small non-coding RNAs that in recent years have been shown to play an important role in the pathogenesis of heart failure. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is a powerful imaging modality for the evaluation of cardiac characteristics in heart failure. In this study, we sought to compare heart failure patients with a diagnosis of either idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) or ischaemic heart disease (IHD), in the context of serum levels of certain miRs and also magnetic resonance imaging parameters of cardiac structure and function.Methods and results: A total of 135 subjects were studied: 53 patients with DCM (age: 59 +/- 12 years, mean +/- SD), 34 patients with IHD (66 +/- 9 years), and 48 controls (64 +/- 5 years). The participants underwent baseline medical examination, blood sampling, and a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging examination at 3 Tesla (Philips Ingenia). The serum levels of seven different miRs were analysed and assessed: 16-5p, 21-5p, 29-5p, 133a-3p, 191-5p, 320a, and 423-5p, all of which have been demonstrated to play potential roles in the pathogenesis of heart failure. The patients in the DCM and IHD groups had left ventricles that had larger end-diastolic volume (P < 0.001), larger mass ( P < 0.001), and lower ejection fraction (P < 0.001) compared with controls. Serum levels of miR-29-5p were increased in DCM compared with IHD (P < 0.005) and serum levels of miR-320a were elevated in DCM compared with healthy controls ( P < 0.05). There was no significant association between miR levels and magnetic resonance imaging parameters of left ventricular structure and function.Conclusions: Circulating miR-320a can add to the discrimination between patients with DCM and healthy controls and circulating miR-29-5p can add to the discrimination between DCM and IHD.

  • Mortality and pathophysiology of acute kidney injury according to time of occurrence in acute heart failure
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: ESC Heart Failure. - : Wiley. - 2055-5822. ; 7:5, s. 3219-3224
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • AimsAcute kidney injury (AKI) during acute heart failure (AHF) is common and associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The underlying pathophysiological mechanism appears to have prognostic relevance; however, the differentiation of true, structural AKI from hemodynamic pseudo‐AKI remains a clinical challenge.Methods and resultsThe Basics in Acute Shortness of Breath Evaluation Study (NCT01831115) prospectively enrolled adult patients presenting with AHF to the emergency department. Mortality of patients was prospectively assessed. Haemoconcentration, transglomerular pressure gradient (n = 231) and tubular injury patterns (n = 253) were evaluated to investigate pathophysiological mechanisms underlying AKI timing (existing at presentation vs. developing during in‐hospital period). Of 1643 AHF patients, 755 patients (46%) experienced an episode of AKI; 310 patients (19%; 41% of AKI patients) presented with community‐acquired AKI (CA‐AKI), 445 patients (27%; 59% of AKI patients) developed in‐hospital AKI. CA‐AKI but not in‐hospital AKI was associated with higher mortality compared with no‐AKI (adjusted hazard ratio 1.32 [95%‐CI 1.01–1.74]; P = 0.04). Independent of AKI timing, haemoconcentration was associated with a lower two‐year mortality. Transglomerular pressure gradient at presentation was significantly lower in CA‐AKI compared to in‐hospital AKI and no‐AKI (P < 0.01). Urinary NGAL ratio concentrations were significantly higher in CA‐AKI compared to in‐hospital AKI (P < 0.01) or no‐AKI (P < 0.01).ConclusionsCA‐AKI but not in‐hospital AKI is associated with increased long‐term mortality and marked by decreased transglomerular pressure gradient and tubular injury, probably reflecting prolonged tubular ischemia due to reno‐venous congestion. Adequate decongestion, as assessed by haemoconcentration, is associated with lower long‐term mortality independent of AKI timing.

  • Acyl ghrelin increases cardiac output while preserving right ventricular-pulmonary arterial coupling in heart failure
  • 2023
  • Ingår i: ESC Heart Failure. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 2055-5822.
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • AIM: Acyl ghrelin increases cardiac output (CO) in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). This could impair the right ventricular-pulmonary arterial coupling (RVPAC), both through an increased venous return and right ventricular afterload. We aim to investigate if acyl ghrelin increases CO with or without worsening the right-sided haemodynamics in HFrEF assessed by RVPAC.METHODS AND RESULTS: The Karolinska Acyl ghrelin Trial was a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial of acyl ghrelin versus placebo (120-min intravenous infusion) in HFrEF. RVPAC was assessed echocardiographically at baseline and 120 min. ANOVA was used for difference in change between acyl ghrelin versus placebo, adjusted for baseline values. Of the 30 randomized patients, 22 had available RVPAC (acyl ghrelin n = 12, placebo n = 10). Despite a 15% increase in CO in the acyl ghrelin group (from 4.0 (3.5-4.6) to 4.6 (3.9-6.1) L/min, P = 0.003), RVPAC remained unchanged; 5.9 (5.3-7.6) to 6.3 (4.8-7.5) mm·(m/s)-1 , P = 0.372, while RVPAC was reduced in the placebo group, 5.2 (4.3-6.4) to 4.8 (4.2-5.8) mm·(m/s)-1 , P = 0.035. Comparing change between groups, CO increased in the acyl ghrelin group versus placebo (P = 0.036) while RVPAC and the right ventricular pressure gradient remained unchanged.CONCLUSION: Treatment with acyl ghrelin increases CO while preserving or even improving RVPAC in HFrEF, possibly due to increased contractility, reduced PVR and/or reduced left sided filling pressures. These potential effects strengthen the role of acyl ghrelin therapy in HFrEF with right ventricular failure.

  • Implementation of sacubitril/valsartan in Sweden: clinical characteristics, titration patterns, and determinants
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: Esc Heart Failure. - : Wiley. - 2055-5822.
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Aims The aim of this study is to study the introduction of sacubitril/valsartan (sac/val) in Sweden with regards to regional differences, clinical characteristics, titration patterns, and determinants of use and discontinuation. Methods and results A national cohort of heart failure was defined from the Swedish Prescribed Drug Register and National Patient Register. A subcohort with additional data from the Swedish Heart Failure Registry (SwedeHF) was also studied. Cohorts were subdivided as per sac/val prescription and registration in SwedeHF. Median sac/val prescription rate was 20 per 100 000 inhabitants. Between April 2016 and December 2017, we identified 2037 patients with >= 1 sac/val prescription, of which 1144 (56%) were registered in SwedeHF. Overall, patients prescribed with sac/val were younger, more frequently male, and had less prior cardiovascular disease than non-sac/val patients. In SwedeHF subcohort, patients prescribed with sac/val had lower ejection fraction. Overall, younger age [hazard ratio 2.81 (95% confidence interval 2.45-3.22)], registration in SwedeHF [1.97 (1.83-2.12)], male gender [1.50 (1.37-1.64)], ischaemic heart disease [1.50 (1.39-1.62)], lower left ventricular ejection fraction [3.06 (2.18-4.31)], and New York Heart Association IV [1.50 (1.22-1.84)] were predictors for sac/val use. As initiation dose in the sac/val cohort, 38% received 24/26 mg, 54% 49/51 mg, and 9% 97/103 mg. Up-titration to the target dose was achieved in 57% of the overall cohort over a median follow-up of 6 months. The estimated treatment persistence for any dose at 360 days was 82%. Conclusions Implementation of sac/val in Sweden was slow and varied five-fold across different regions; younger age, male, SwedeHF registration, and ischaemic heart disease were among the independent predictors of receiving sac/val. Overall, treatment persistence and tolerability was high.

  • Prevalence and prognostic impact of left ventricular systolic dysfunction or pulmonary congestion after acute myocardial infarction.
  • 2023
  • Ingår i: ESC heart failure. - : Wiley. - 2055-5822. ; 10:2, s. 1347-1357
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The aim was to describe the prevalence, characteristics, and outcome of patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) developing left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction or pulmonary congestion by applying different criteria to define the population.In patients with MI included in the Swedish web-system for enhancement and development of evidence-based care in heart disease (SWEDEHEART) registry, four different sets of criteria were applied, creating four not mutually exclusive subsets of patients: patients with MI and ejection fraction (EF)<50% and/or pulmonary congestion (subset 1); EF<40% and/or pulmonary congestion (subset 2); EF<40% and/or pulmonary congestion and at least one high-risk feature (subset 3, PARADISE-MI like); and EF<50% and no diabetes mellitus (subset 4, DAPA-MI like). Subsets 1, 2, 3, and 4 constituted 31.6%, 15.0%, 12.8%, and 22.8% of all patients with MI (n=87177), respectively. The age and prevalence of different co-morbidities varied between subsets. For median age, 70 to 77, for diabetes mellitus, 22 to 33%; for chronic kidney disease, 22 to 38%, for prior MI, 17 to 21%, for atrial fibrillation, 7 to 14%, and for ST-elevations, 38 to 50%. The cumulative incidence of death or heart failure hospitalization at 3years was 17.4% (95% CI: 17.1-17.7%) in all MIs; 26.9% (26.3-27.4%) in subset 1; 37.6% (36.7-38.5%) in subset 2; 41.8% (40.7-42.8%) in subset 3; and 22.6% (22.0-23.2%) in subset 4.Depending on the definition, LV systolic dysfunction or pulmonary congestion is present in 13-32% of all patients with MI and is associated with a two to three times higher risk of subsequent death or HF admission. There is a need to optimize management and improve outcomes for this high-risk population.

  • Patients with moderate chronic kidney disease without heart disease have reduced coronary flow velocity reserve
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: ESC Heart Failure. - : Wiley. - 2055-5822. ; 7:5, s. 2797-2805
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Aims The overall aim was to identify sub-clinical cardiac abnormalities by echocardiography in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3 and 4 and to investigate underlying mechanisms. Methods and results Ninety-one patients with CKD stages 3 and 4, without a diagnosis of heart disease, and 41 healthy matched controls were included in this cross-sectional study. Cardiac morphology and function were analysed with Doppler echocardiography and coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) in response to adenosine was measured in the left anterior descendent artery to detect coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD). All study subjects had a left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction > 50%. Patients with CKD showed statistically significant increases in left atrial volume index and transmitral and pulmonary vein flow velocities during atrial contraction and prolonged LV isovolumetric relaxation time. Patients with CKD had significantly reduced CFVR vs. controls (2.74 +/- 0.86 vs. 3.40 +/- 0.89, P < 0.001), and 43% of patients were classified as having CMD compared with 9% of controls (P = 0.001). Conclusions Patients with CKD stages 3 and 4, without a diagnosis of heart disease, showed early abnormalities in LV diastolic function that did not fulfil the criteria for LV dysfunction according to current guidelines. A large proportion of CKD patients had CMD, suggesting that microvascular abnormalities may have a pathogenic role in the development of heart failure in this patient group.

  • Five year risk assessment and treatment patterns in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: ESC Heart Failure. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 2055-5822. ; 9:5, s. 3264-3274
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Aims: Repeated risk assessments and treatment patterns over long time are sparsely studied in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH); thus, we aimed to investigate changes in risk status and treatment patterns in incident patients with CTEPH over a 5 year period.Methods and results: Descriptive and explorative study including 311 patients diagnosed with CTEPH 2008–2019 from the Swedish pulmonary hypertension registry, stratified by pulmonary endarterectomy surgery (PEA). Risk and PH-specific treatment were assessed in surgically treated (PEA) and medically treated (non-PEA) patients at diagnosis and up to 5 years follow-up. Data are presented as median (Q1–Q3), count or per cent. Prior to surgery, 63% in the PEA-group [n = 98, age 64 (51–71) years, 37% female] used PH-specific treatment and 20, 69, and 10% were assessed as low, intermediate or high risk, respectively. After 1 year post-surgery, 34% had no PH-specific treatment or follow-up visit registered despite being alive at 5 years. Of patients with a 5 year visit (n = 23), 46% were at low and 54% at intermediate risk, while 91% used PH-specific treatment. In the non-PEA group [n = 213, age 72 (65–77) years, 56% female], 28% were assessed as low, 61% as intermediate and 11% as high risk. All patients at high risk versus 50% at low risk used PH-specific treatment. The 1 year mortality was 6%, while the risk was unchanged in 57% of the patients; 14% improved from intermediate to low risk, and 1% from high to low risk. At 5 years, 27% had a registered visit and 28% had died. Of patients with a 5 year visit (n = 58), 38% were at low, 59% at intermediate and 1% at high risk, and 86% used PH-specific treatment.Conclusions: Risk status assessed pre-surgery did not foresee long-term post-PEA risk and pre-surgery PH-specific treatment did not foresee long-term post-PEA treatment. Medically treated CTEPH patients tend to remain at the same risk over time, suggesting a need for improved treatment strategies in this group.

  • Baseline characteristics of 547 new onset heart failure patients in the PREFERS heart failure study
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: ESC Heart Failure. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 2055-5822. ; 9:4, s. 2125-2138
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Aim We present the baseline characteristics of the PREFERS Stockholm epidemiological study on the natural history and course of new onset heart failure (HF) aiming to improve phenotyping focusing on HF with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFpEF) pathophysiology.Methods and results New onset HF patients diagnosed in hospital or at outpatient HF clinics were included at five Stockholm hospitals 2015-2018 and characterized by N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), biomarkers, echocardiography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (subset). HFpEF [left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) >= 50%) was compared with HF with mildly reduced LVEF (HFmrEF; LVEF 41-49%) and with HF with reduced LVEF (HFrEF; LVEF <= 40%). We included 547 patients whereof HFpEF (n = 137; 25%), HFmrEF (n = 61; 11%), and HFrEF (n = 349; 64%). HFpEF patients were older (76; 70-81 years; median; interquartile range) than HFrEF (67; 58-74; P < 0.001), more often women (49% vs. 30%; P < 0.001), and had significantly higher comorbidity burden. They more often had atrial fibrillation, hypertension, and renal dysfunction. NT-proBNP was lower in HFpEF (896; 462-1645 ng/L) than in HFrEF (1160; 563-2370; P = 0.005). In HFpEF, left ventricular (LV) diameters and volumes were smaller (P < 0.001) and septa! and posterior wall thickness and relative wall thickness higher (P < 0.001). E/e >= 14 was present in 26% of HFpEF vs. 32% of HFrEF (P = 0.017) and left atrial volume index > 34 mL/m(2) in 57% vs. 61% (P = 0.040). HFmrEF patients were intermediary between HFpEF and HFrEF for LV mass, LV volumes, and RV volumes but had the highest proportion of left ventricular hypertrophy and the lowest proportion of elevated E/e.Conclusions Phenotype data in new onset HF patients recruited in a broad clinical setting showed that 25% had HFpEF, were older, more often women, and had greater comorbidity burden. PREFERS is well suited to further explore biomarker and imaging components of HFpEF pathophysiology and may contribute to the emerging knowledge of HF epidemiology.

  • Serum potassium and clinical outcomes in heart failure patients : results of risk calculations in 21 334 patients in the UK
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: ESC Heart Failure. - : Wiley. - 2055-5822. ; 6:2, s. 280-290
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Aims: At present, the clinical burden of hypokalaemia and hyperkalaemia among European heart failure patients, and relationships between serum potassium and adverse clinical outcomes in this population, is not well characterized. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between mortality, major adverse cardiac events, and renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system inhibitor (RAASi) discontinuation across serum potassium levels, in a UK cohort of incident heart failure patients.Methods and results: This was a retrospective observational cohort study of newly diagnosed heart failure patients listed in the Clinical Practice Research Datalink, with a first record of heart failure (index date) between 2006 and 2015. Hypokalaemia and hyperkalaemia episodes were defined as the number of serum potassium measurements exceeding each threshold (<3.5, ≥5.0, ≥5.5, and ≥6.0 mmol/L), without such a measurement in the preceding 7 days. Risk equations developed using Poisson generalized estimating equations were utilized to estimate adjusted incident rate ratios (IRRs) relating serum potassium and clinical outcomes (death, major adverse cardiac event, and RAASi discontinuation). Among 21,334 eligible heart failure patients, 1969 (9.2%), 7648 (35.9%), 2725 (12.8%), and 763 (3.6%) experienced episodes of serum potassium <3.5, ≥5.0, ≥5.5, and ≥6.0 mmol/L, respectively. The adjusted IRRs for mortality exhibited a U‐shaped association pattern with serum potassium. Relative to the reference category (4.5 to <5.0 mmol/L), adjusted IRRs for mortality were estimated as 1.98 (95% confidence interval: 1.69–2.33), 1.23 (1.12–1.36), 1.35 (1.14–1.60), and 3.02 (2.28–4.02), for patients with serum potassium <3.5, ≥5.0 to <5.5, ≥5.5 to <6.0, and ≥6.0 mmol/L, respectively. The adjusted IRRs for major adverse cardiac events demonstrated a non‐statistically significant relationship with serum potassium. Discontinuation of RAASi therapy exhibited a J‐shaped trend in association with serum potassium. Compared with the reference category (4.5 to <5.0 mmol/L), adjusted IRRs were estimated as 1.07 (0.89–1.28) in patients with serum potassium <3.5 mmol/L, increasing to 1.32 (1.14–1.53) and 2.19 (1.63–2.95) among those with serum potassium ≥5.5 to <6.0 and ≥6.0 mmol/L, respectively.Conclusions: In UK patients with new onset heart failure, both hypokalaemia and hyperkalaemia were associated with increased mortality risk, and hyperkalaemia was associated with increased likelihood of RAASi discontinuation. Our results demonstrate the potential importance of serum potassium monitoring for heart failure outcomes and management.

  • Recurrent heart failure hospitalizations increase the risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in patients with heart failure in Sweden: a real-world study
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: ESC Heart Failure. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 2055-5822. ; 8:3, s. 2144-2153
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Aims: Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of hospitalization and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. We examined the impact of recurrent HF hospitalizations (HFHs) on cardiovascular (CV) mortality among patients with HF in Sweden.Methods and results: Adults with incident HF were identified from linked national health registers and electronic medical records from 01 January 2005 to 31 December 2013 for Uppsala and until 31 December 2014 for Västerbotten. CV mortality and all-cause mortality were evaluated. A time-dependent Cox regression model was used to estimate relative CV mortality rates for recurrent HFHs. Assessment was also done for ejection fraction-based HF phenotypes and for comorbid atrial fibrillation, diabetes, or chronic renal impairment. Overall, 3878 patients with HF having an index hospitalization were included, providing 9691.9 patient-years of follow-up. Patients were relatively old (median age: 80 years) and were more frequently male (55.5%). Compared with patients without recurrent HFHs, the adjusted hazard ratio (HR [95% confidence interval; CI]) for CV mortality and all-cause mortality were statistically significant for patients with one, two, three, and four or more recurrent HFHs. The risk of CV mortality and all-cause mortality increased approximately six-fold in patients with four or more recurrent HFHs vs. those without any HFHs (HR [95% CI]: 6.26 [5.24–7.48] and 5.59 [4.70–6.64], respectively). Similar patterns were observed across the HF phenotypes and patients with comorbidities.Conclusions: There is a strong association between recurrent HFHs and CV and all-cause mortality, with the risk increasing progressively with each recurrent HFH.
