Plasma Proteomic Profile Predicts Survival in Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

It remains unclear whether the plasma proteome adds value to established predictors in heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). We sought to derive and validate a plasma proteomic risk score (PRS) for survival in patients with HFrEF (HFrEF-PRS).

Methods

Patients meeting Framingham criteria for HF with EF<50% were enrolled (N=1017) and plasma underwent SOMAscan profiling (4453 targets). Patients were randomly divided 2:1 into derivation and validation cohorts. The HFrEF-PRS was derived using Cox regression of all-cause mortality adjusted for clinical score and NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide), then was tested in the validation cohort. Risk stratification improvement was evaluated by C statistic, integrated discrimination index
