Cardiac biomarkers in chf
1. Cardiac biomarkers in heart
failure : where are we now?
Dr Arun Kochar
MD;DM;DNB
Senior consultant, interventional cardiology
Fortis hospital, Mohali.
2. Heart Failure- Clinical syndrome
⌠can result from any structural
or functional cardiac disorder that
impairs ability of ventricle to fill
with or eject blood
â˘5 million Americans- have heart
failure
â˘500,000 new cases every year
⢠30 billion dollars a year spent on heart
failure treatment
⢠6,500,000 hospital days / year and
300,000 deaths/year
â˘Heart failure in India has been
conservatively estimated to affect up to
4.6 million people, with up to 1.8 million
new diagnoses made each year
3. What exactly is the term biomarker?
⢠The National Institutes of
Health define a biomarker
as a âcharacteristic that is
objectively measured and
evaluated as an indicator
of normal biologic processes,
pathogenic processes, or
pharmacologic
responses to a therapeutic interventionâ
These are substances detectable in blood, urine,
or other bodily fluids. Tests measuring them
should be readily available, be quantitative,
reproducible and generally inexpensive,
6. ď¨ Accurate, reproducible measurements must
be available to clinicians at reasonable cost with
short turn-around time
ď¨ Biomarker must provide information that is not
already available from a careful clinical
assessment
ď¨ Measured level should aid in clinical decision
making
10. What exactly are BNP
and NT-proBNPâŚ..
⢠BNP is a hormone produced in r in
response to ventricular overload, and NT-
proBNP is the fragment produced from the
cleavage of proBNP.
⢠BNP and NT-proBNP levels are elevated in
patients with HF and correlate with functional
and morphological left ventricular parameters
and they independently predict prognosis
⢠The BNP gene natriuretic peptide B (NPPB)
is the precursor molecule for both
12. Punch linesâŚ.( BNP)
-BNP concentration increases, when there
is an abnormal cardiac dilatation.
-Factors as age, BMI, renal function can
alter levels resulting in âgrey-zoneâ values.
- 100-400 ng/l = grey zone
- < 100 = to exclude HF
- Lower cutoff <50 to exclude HF = BMI>35
- the optimal times to assess BNP levels at
admission, 24 hours after admission and
at discharge.
- Dry and wet BNP
13. NT-proBNP
⢠Adding NT-proBNP levels to the
differential resulted in increase of 24.4%
with a diagnosis of HF and 47.5% with
lung failure. It helped diagnose 18% of
patients presenting with acute dyspnea.
⢠NT-proBNP had shown superior
prognostic power for all cause mortality
when compared with BNP.
17. For NT-proBNP, apply one rule-out value (<300 pg/ml)
and one of three rule-in values based on age.

25. ď¨ most useful in the evaluation of pts with
dyspnea presenting to the ED where they may
provide the advantages of convenience and
rapid turnaround times facilitating clinical
management
ď¨ Maisel et al showed in the Breathing Not
Properly study that BNP levels greatly
increased the accuracy of the diagnosis of HF in
pts presenting to ED with dyspnea;
ď¨ level > 100 pg/ml HF unlikely but level >400
pg/ml makes the diagnosis likely.

occurred in 24% of patients in whom the BNP level was
lowered vs 52% of the control group (p < 0.001)
28. ď¨ predischarge level of BNP was a strong,
independent predictor of postdischarge
outcomes
ď¨ patients with HF whose BNP level does not
decline to < 600 pg/ml should receive
intensified treatment before discharge
ď¨ useful in screening asymptomatic subjects at
risk of HF such as elderly and those with HPN,
DM & asymptomatic CAD
ď¨ may also be used to screen for acute or late
cardiotoxic effects associated with cancer
chemotherapy
29.
30. HFPEFâŚ
⢠Patients with HFPEF overall have lower levels of
BNP than do HF patients with reduced LVEF, but
for a given BNP level, the associated risk of all-
cause mortality and HF hospitalization is at least
as high in patients with HFPEF as it is in those with
low LVEF.
⢠Use of cardiac peptides (BNP or NT-proBNP) to
guide pharmacologic therapy in patients with
HFPEF is associated with a significant reduction
of mortality and HF-related hospitalization,
especially in patients younger than 75 years.
31. In chronic HFâŚ
⢠90-day combined event rate with BNP
<200 pg/mL was 9% versus 29% for >200.
⢠A reduction of 25% (24 hours ) 46%( at
discharge) compared with the admission,with
the absolute value of less than 300 pg/mL is
very strong favorable prognosis.
⢠Val-HeFT trial reported them strongest
mortality and hospitalization predictors.
⢠35% increase in risk of mortality with an
increase of 100 pg/mL from baseline.
⢠BNP level >189 pg/mL at 2 months with >15%
change from baseline had worst survival
despite being stable after discharge for HF
32. ACC 2013 recommendations
Ambulatory/Outpatient
BNP- or NT-proBNP guided HF therapy can be useful to
achieve optimal dosing of GDMT in select clinically
euvolemic patients followed in a well-structured HF
disease management program.
The usefulness of serial measurement of BNP or NT-
proBNP to reduce hospitalization or mortality in patients
with HF is not well established.
Measurement of other clinically available tests such as
biomarkers of myocardial injury or fibrosis may be
considered for additive risk stratification in patients with
chronic HF.

35. Ambulatory/Outpatient
In ambulatory patients with dyspnea, measurement of
BNP or N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-
proBNP) is useful to support clinical decision making
regarding the diagnosis of HF, especially in the setting of
clinical uncertainty.
Measurement of BNP or NT-proBNP is useful for
establishing prognosis or disease severity in chronic HF.

37. Galectin-3
⢠Inflammatory and fibrotic processes are
central to cardiac remodeling and the
development of HF
⢠Galectin-3, secreted by activated
macrophages, causes cardiac fibrosis
⢠Increasingly being used as a s surrogate
indicator of cardiac remodeling and
fibrosis
⢠PROVE IT-TIMI22 , higher galectin-3 levels
in ACS showed a positive relationship with
the development of HF.
⢠âremodelingâ and ânon-remodelingâ HF
38. High sensitivity troponin
- When comparing hs cTnI and NT-proBNP
to cardiac troponins measured using
conventional assay in 258 HF pts. hs cTnI
was single best independent prognostic
predictor
- hs c Tnl is independently predictive of
higher risk of death and 1-year mortality
and provide additional prognostic
information in patients with ADHF
39. ď¨ Modest elevations of cT I levels are also found in
patients with HF without ischemia.
ď¨ Horwich et al â cT I was detectable (âĽ0.04 ng /ml)
in approx half of 240 patients with advanced,
chronic heart failure without ischemia.
ď¨ cT I remained an independent predictor of death.
ď¨ cT T levels > 0.02 ng /ml chronic HF associated
with a hazard ratio for death of more than 4
40. An ideal HF bio marker
should âŚ
-Be measurable at a reasonable
cost on short notice;
-Add new information to the clinical workup;
-Aid in the management of patients with HF.
-Identify possible underlying/reversible causes
of HF;
-Confirm the presence or absence of the HF
syndrome;
-Estimate the severity of HF and risk of disease
progression
41. Expectations of the ideal
biomarker
⢠Patient acceptability
⢠In vivo and in vitro stability
⢠Adequate analytical (functional) sensitivity
⢠Reproducibility and accuracy
⢠Feasibility
⢠Complete assay automation
⢠International standardization
⢠Low cost
⢠Low biological variation
⢠Reference range and cut-off values tested for gender, age,
