Abstract:

Objective To study the relationship between the serum levels of Vasostatin-2 and chronic heart failure(CHF) in patients with myocardial infarction and its prognosis. Methods A total of 450 patients with CHF after myocardial infarction were enrolled as CHF group,and the general clinical data,including age,sex,hypertension,diabetes mellitus,renal function,blood lipid,fasting blood glucose,glycated hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP),were collected. Serum Vasostatin-2,tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) levels were determined. A total of 149 healthy subjects with negative results of coronary angiography were enrolled as control group. All the CHF patients were followed up for 3 years to record major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE),and they were classified into MACE and MACE-free groups according to whether MACE occurred. The correlations between the indicators were assessed by Pearson correlation analysis or Spearman correlation analysis. Logistic stepwise regression analysis was used to assess the risk factors for developing MACE in CHF patients. Results Serum Vasostatin-2 levels were lower in CHF group than those in control group(P<0.001),and serum TNF-α,hs-CRP and NT-proBNP levels were higher than those in control group(P<0.001). There was statistical significance for serum Vasostatin-2 levels between different stages in CHF groups(P<0.001). Correlation analysis results showed that Vasostatin-2 levels were positively correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)(r=0.377,P<0.05),and they were negatively correlated with NT-proBNP,TNF-α,hs-CRP and heart failure stages(r values were -0.294,-0.267,-0.312 and -0.288,P<0.05,respectively). Compared with MACE-free group,NT-proBNP,hs-CRP and TNF-α were increased in MACE group(P<0.001),and Vasostatin-2 was decreased(P<0.001). Vasostatin-2,NT-proBNP,hs-CRP,TNF-α,advanced age,hypertension,diabetes mellitus,renal function,severe heart failure stags(C and D) and LVEF were all risk factors for MACE in CHF patients(P<0.05). Conclusions Serum Vasostatin-2 level is correlated with the occurrence and prognosis of CHF after myocardial infarction and can be used as one of the indicators of adjuvant diagnosis and prognostic judgment in CHF patients.
