Abstract

Objectives: Little information exists concerning the role of natriuretic peptides in the prognosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). In this study, we evaluated the value of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (Nt-proBNP) in predicting clinical prognoses of patients with HCM. Study design: On a prospective design, 61 consecutive patients (36 males, 25 females; mean age 47 years; range 13-74 years) were monitored following a diagnosis of HCM upon detection of hypertrophy of the left ventricle (at least 15 mm in thickness) by transthoracic echocardiography. Peripheral blood samples were obtained to determine Nt-proBNP levels. Functional capacity was classified according to the NYHA (New York Heart Association) system. The patients were monitored for adverse clinical events defined as cardiovascular death, syncope, or worsening of heart failure symptoms for a mean of 416 days (range 150-570 days). Independent prognostic factors of adverse clinical events were determined with the use of the univariate and stepwise multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to validate the predictive performance of log Nt-proBNP for adverse clinical events. Results: Adverse clinical events developed in 11 patients (18%). Mortality occurred in one patient. In the multivariate analysis, log Nt-proBNP was found to be the only predictor of adverse clinical events (p=0.002, %95 CI). With an area of ROC curve being 0.9, the best value of log Nt-proBNP with the highest sensitivity (87%) and specificity (88%) was 7.3, equivalent to a level of 1500 pg/ml. The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a significantly higher event-free survival in patients having a Nt-proBNP level of less than 1500 pg/ml.Conclusion: Plasma levels of Nt-proBNP seem to be a reliable and practical parameter that can be used in predicting the clinical course of patients with HCM.

Özet

Amaç: Natriüretik peptidlerin hipertrofik kardiyomiyopatideki (HK) prognostik değeri üzerine bilgilerimiz yeterli değildir. Bu çalışmada, N-terminal pro B-tip natriüretik peptidin (Nt-proBNP) HK’li olgularda hastalığın seyri ile ilişkisi araştırıldı. Çalışma planı: Transtorasik ekokardiyografide sol ventrikülde hipertrofi (duvar kalınlığı en az 15 mm) saptanarak HK tanısı konan 61 hasta (36 erkek, 25 kadın; ort. yaş 47; dağılım 13-74) ileriye dönük olarak çalışmaya alındı. Tüm hastalardan Nt-proBNP için periferik tam kan örnekleri toplandı. Hastaların fonksiyonel kapasiteleri NYHA (New York Heart Association) sınıflandırmasına göre değerlendirildi. Hastalar ortalama 416 gün (dağılım 150-570 gün) süreyle kardiyovasküler ölüm, senkop ve kalp yetmezliği semptomlarında kötüleşme olarak tanımlan olumsuz klinik olaylar (OKO) açısından izlendi. Olumsuz klinik olayların bağımsız belirleyicisini araştırmak için tek ve çok değişkenli “stepwise Cox proportional hazard” regresyon analizi kullanıldı ve log Nt-proBNP'nin olumsuz klinik olayları göstermedeki yeterliliği ROC (receiver operating characteristic) analizi ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: On bir hastada (%18) OKO gelişti. Bir hastada ani ölüm görüldü. Çokdeğişkenli analizde, log Nt-proBNP’nin OKO’nun tek bağımsız belirteci olduğu görüldü (p=0.002, %95 GA). ROC analizinde eğri alanı 0.9 bulundu. Log Nt-proBNP’nin en yüksek duyarlılık (%87) ve özgüllük (%88) gösterdiği değer 7.3 (1500 pg/ml) bulundu. Kaplan-Meier sağkalım analizinde olaysız sağkalım oranının Nt-proBNP düzeyinin 1500 pg/ml altında olan hastalarda anlamlı derecede yüksek olduğu görüldü. Sonuç: Plazma Nt-proBNP düzeyi, HK’li hastalarda klinik seyrin öngörülmesinde kullanılabilecek, güvenilir ve tekrarlanabilir bir parametre olarak görünmektedir.
