Heart failure & cardiomyopathies

Biomarker Profiles in Heart Failure with Preserved vs. Reduced Ejection Fraction: Results from the DIAST-CHF Study

ESC Heart FailPublished Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

The identified proteins and signalling pathways offer new therapeutic and diagnostic approaches for patients with chronic HF.

Study context

Population
Patients with chronic heart failure (HF) (heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) or HFrEF) from the DIAST-CHF trial, representative subgroup aged 71 yearsHF n = 127
Exposure
HFpEF vs HFrEF vs healthy controls
  • Healthy controln = 40reference
Outcome
Plasma levels of 180 biomarkers (proteomic approach)
Methodological detailsproteomic analysis, subgroup of the DIAST-CHF study
  • Proteomic analysis
  • Subgroup of the DIAST-CHF study

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Differentially expressed plasma proteins

Proteins expressed significantly differently in both HF groups vs control

35

Unique proteins expressed in HFpEF

29

Unique proteins expressed in HFrEF

33

Observational data: associations, not effects.
