Abstract

Background: It is uncertain how much candidate biomarkers improve risk prediction when added to comprehensive models including routinely collected clinical and laboratory variables in heart failure. Methods: Aldosterone, cystatin C, high sensitivity-troponin T (hs-TnT), galectin-3, growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 (ST2), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) and urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) were measured in 1559 of PARADIGM-HF participants.We tested whether these biomarkers, individually or collectively, improved the performance of the PREDICT-HF prognostic model, which includes clinical, routine laboratory, and natriuretic peptide data, for the primary endpoint and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Results: The mean age of participants was 67.3 ± 9.9 years, 1254 (80.4%) were men and 1103 (71%) were NYHA class II. During a mean follow-up of 30.7 months, 300 patients experienced the primary outcome and 197 died. Added individually, only 4 biomarkers were independently associated with all outcomes: hs-TnT, GDF-15, cystatin C and TIMP-1. When all biomarkers were added simultaneously to the PREDICT-HF models, only hs-TnT remained an independent predictor of all three endpoints. GDF-15 also remained predictive of the primary endpoint; TIMP-1 was the only other predictor of both cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Individually or in combination, these biomarkers did not lead to statistically significant improvements in discrimination or reclassification. Conclusions: None of the biomarkers studied individually or collectively led to a meaningful improvement in the prediction of outcomes over what is provided by clinical, routine laboratory, and natriuretic peptide variables.
