Aim. To determine the relationships between serum concentrations of growth and differentiation factor 15 (GDF 15) and NTproBNP and features of heart remodeling in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) depending on the history of Q-myocardial infarction (MI).
Materials and methods. The study was performed on the basis of the Cardiology Department of the Municipal non-profit Enterprise “City Hospital of Urgent and Emergency Medical Care” of Zaporizhzhia City Council. 72 patients (mean age 62.1 ± 1.7 years) with HFPEF after MI were enrolled. The patients were divided into two groups depending on the time of previous MI. The patients were examined using two-dimensional echocardiography on a MyLab50 device (Esaote, Italy) according to the recommendations of the American Society of Echocardiography. Serum concentrations of GDF 15 and NTproBNP were measured by enzyme immunoassay using Elabscience reagent kits (USA).
Results. In the 1st and 2nd groups of patients who suffered MI within a year, a significant increase in GDF 15 has been found (by 66.1 % and 74.7 %, respectively; p < 0.05) compared to the control group. The level of GDF 15 was significantly higher (by 41.8 %, p < 0.05) in the group of patients who had MI over a one-to-two-year period as compared to those who had MI within one year. The serum concentration of NTproBNP was also significantly higher in HFPEF groups compared to the control group (by 84.7 % and 87.2 %, respectively, p < 0.05). In the 2nd group of patients with the history of MI between 1 and 2 years, a significant increase in end-systolic volume (by 11.8 %, p < 0.05), end-diastolic volume (by 22.3 %, p < 0.05), left ventricular myocardial mass index (by 19.1 %, p < 0.05) and the E/e’ ratio (by 20.9 %, p < 0.05) has been revealed as compared to the 1st patient group. A strong direct correlation has been shown between the time of MI occurrence and the concentration of GDF 15 (r = 0.58, p < 0.05), the interventricular septum thickness at diastole (r = 0.61, p < 0.05) and the left ventricular myocardial mass index (r = 0.63, p < 0.05), GDF 15 and E/e’ (r = 0.37, p < 0.05), GDF 15 and the left atrial volume index (r = 0.41, p < 0.05), GDF 15 and NTproBNP (r = 0.56, p < 0.05).
Conclusions. Progression of left ventricular myocardial hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction with dilatation of the heart chambers has been observed in HFPEF patients with a longer history of MI. The time period of MI in patients with HFPEF was associated with the serum concentration of GDF 15, the interventricular septum thickness and the mass index of the left ventricular myocardium. The serum concentration of GDF 15 was significantly correlated with the deterioration of the left ventricular diastolic function, such as an increase in the E/e’ ratio and the left atrial volume index.
