Preoperative sST2 levels relate to myocardial remodeling and cardiac function improvement after cardiac valve surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

We aim to investigate the correlation between preoperative soluble suppression of tumourigenicity 2 (sST2) and postoperative myocardial remodelling and cardiac function in patients with valvular heart disease.

Methods and results

This retrospective study included patients who underwent heart valve surgery at the General Hospital of Northern Theatre Command from July 2019 to June 2020. Preoperative, early postoperative, and 1-month postoperative cardiac ultrasound data were collected. Multivariable linear regression was used to analyse the factors associated with preoperative sST2 and postoperative cardiac function parameters. A receiver operator characteristic curve analysis was used to analyse the predictive value of sST2 for left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) r
