The Association of Protein Biomarkers With Incident Heart Failure With Preserved and Reduced Ejection Fraction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) are distinct clinical entities, yet there is scant evidence for associations of proteomic signatures with future development of HFpEF versus HFrEF.

Methods

We evaluated the association of 71 protein biomarkers with incident HFpEF versus HFrEF (left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ versus <50%) among Framingham Heart Study participants using multivariable Cox models.

Results

Among 7038 participants (mean age 49 years; 54% women), 5 biomarkers were associated with increased risk of incident HFpEF (false discovery rate q<0.05): NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide; hazard ratio [HR], 2.13; 95% CI, 1.52-2.99; P<0.001), growth dif
