Biomarkers for the diagnosis and management of heart failure.

ABSTRACT: Heart failure (HF) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Circulating biomarkers reflecting pathophysiological pathways involved in HF development and progression may assist clinicians in early diagnosis and management of HF patients. Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are cardioprotective hormones released by cardiomyocytes in response to pressure or volume overload. The roles of B-type NP (BNP) and N-terminal pro-B-type NP (NT-proBNP) for diagnosis and risk stratification in HF have been extensively demonstrated, and these biomarkers are emerging tools for population screening and as guides to the start of treatment in subclinical HF. On the contrary, conflicting evidence exists on the role of NPs as a guide to HF therapy. Among the other biomarkers, high-sensitivity troponins and soluble suppression of tumorigenesis-2 are the most promising biomarkers for risk stratification, with independent value to NPs. Other biomarkers evaluated as predictors of adverse outcome are galectin-3, growth differentiation factor 15, mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin, and makers of renal dysfunction. Multi-marker scores and genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses could further refine HF management.

Project description:BackgroundWith the rapid development of molecular biology, the kind of mircoRNA (miRNA) has been introduced into emerging role both in cardiac development and pathological procedure. Thus, we conduct this meta-analysis to find out the role of circulating miRNA as a biomarker in detecting heart failure.MethodsWe searched PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and World Health Organization clinical trials registry center to identify relevant studies up to August 2016. We performed meta-analysis in a fixed/random-effect model using Meta-disc 1.4. We used STATA 14.0 to estimate the publication bias and meta-regression. Besides, we took use of SPSS 17.0 to evaluate variance between several groups. Information on true positive, false positive, false negative, and true negative, as well as the quality of research was extracted.ResultsWe use results from 10 articles to analyze the pooled accuracy. The overall performance of total mixed miRNAs (TmiRs) detection was: pooled sensitivity, 0.74 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.72 to 0.75); pooled specificity, 0.69 (95%CI, 0.67 to 0.71); and area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curves value (SROC), 0.7991. The miRNA-423-5p (miR-423-5p) detection was: pooled sensitivity, 0.81 (95%CI, 0.76 to 0.85); pooled specificity, 0.67 (95%CI, 0.61 to 0.73); and SROC, 0.8600. However, taken the same patients population, we extracted the data of BNP for detecting heart failure and performed meta-analysis with acceptable SROC as 0.9291. Among the variance analysis, the diagnostic performance of miR-423-5p claimed significant advantages of other pooled results. However, the combination of miRNAs and BNP could increase the accuracy of detecting of heart failure. Unfortunately, there was no dramatic advantage of miR-423-5p compared to BNP protocol.ConclusionDespite interstudy variability, the performance test of miRNA for detecting heart failure revealed that miR-423-5p demonstrated the potential to be a biomarker. However, other miRNAs were not able to provide enough evidence on promising diagnostic value for heart failure based on the current data. Moreover, the combination of miRNAs and BNP could work as a better method to detection. Unfortunately, BNP was still the most convinced biomarker for such disease.

Project description:It is disheartening for parents to discover that their children have long-term cardiac dysfunction after being cured of life-threatening childhood cancers. As the number of childhood cancer survivors increases, early and late oncology-therapy-related cardiovascular complications continues to rise. It is essential to understand that cardiotoxicity in childhood cancer survivors is persistent and progressive. A child's cancer experience extends throughout his lifetime, and ongoing care for long-term survivors is recognized as an essential part of the cancer care continuum. Initially, there was a lack of recognition of late cardiotoxicities related to cancer therapy. About 38 years ago, in 1984, pioneers like Dr. Lipshultz and others published anecdotal case reports of late cardiotoxicities in children and adolescents exposed to chemotherapy, including some who ended up with heart transplantation. At that time, cardiac tests for cancer survivors were denied by insurance companies because they did not meet appropriate use criteria. Since then, cardio-oncology has been an emerging field of cardiology that focuses on the early detection of cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction occurring during and after oncological treatment. The passionate pursuit of many healthcare professionals to make life better for childhood cancer survivors led to more than 10,000 peer-reviewed publications in the last 40 years. We synthesized the existing evidence-based practice and described our experiences in this review to share our current method of surveillance and management of cardiac dysfunction related to cancer therapy. This review aims to discuss the pathological basis of cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction and heart failure, how to stratify patients prone to cardiotoxicity by identifying modifiable risk factors, early detection of cardiac dysfunction, and prevention and management of heart failure during and after cancer therapy in children. We emphasize serial longitudinal follow-ups of childhood cancer survivors and targeted intervention for high-risk patients. We describe our experience with the new paradigm of cardio-oncology care, and collaboration between cardiologist and oncologist is needed to maximize cancer survival while minimizing late cardiotoxicity.
