Apolipoprotein A1 is associated with pulmonary vascular resistance and adverse clinical outcomes in patients with pulmonary hypertension secondary to heart failure.

ABSTRACT: Pulmonary hypertension secondary to heart failure (HF-PH) combined with pulmonary vascular remodeling has a high mortality rate. Apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) has been shown to adversely affect outcomes in patients with HF. A prospective follow-up study was performed on 239 consecutive patients with HF-PH who underwent right heart catheterization. Proteomics technology was used to analyze different proteins in plasma between post- and precapillary pulmonary hypertension (CpcPH) and isolated postcapillary pulmonary hypertension (IpcPH) filtered by propensity score matching. Ultimately, 175 patients were enrolled and followed for an average of 4.4 years. Lipoprotein components in plasma were measured, and the following clinical events were tracked. Proteomics data showed that lipid metabolism an
