PG - 359-65 LID - S0167-4943(14)00206-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.archger.2014.11.005 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between PTH and Nt-proBNP in elderly patients with CHF in an attempt to gain insights into the role of PTH in a community-based cohort of elderly patients with CHF. METHODS: A total of 182 consecutive CHF patients with follow-up for mortality after 3 years were prospectively studied. Serum levels of intact PTH, Nt-proBNP and biochemical parameters were examined. The enrolled patients were divided into groups by the levels of PTH and New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classes. RESULTS: A total of 66 (36%) patients had PTH values above the upper limit of the normal range. Serum creatinine (p=0.001), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (p=0.001), Nt-proBNP (p<0.001), serum calcium (p=0.030), heart rate (p=0.002) showed statistical significance in different stages of PTH. The mean PTH and Nt-proBNP levels increased as the NYHA functional class increased. The optimal cut-off value of PTH to predict CHF-related death was 48.98 pg/ml, with 57.14% sensitivity and 86.24% specificity. The best cut-off point of Nt-proBNP was 480 ng/ml with 76.47% sensitivity and 80.48% specificity. Over a mean follow-up of 3 years, Kaplan-Meier survival curves demonstrate that patients with higher levels of intact PTH had lower survival time, with a hazard ratio of 2.5 (95% CI 1.5-3.9). CONCLUSIONS: The study has shown that serum intact PTH level obtained in the elderly patients with CHF is a novel biomarker associated with Nt-proBNP and could provide supplementary information for the diagnosis and prognostic prediction of CHF, especially when it is used in combination with Nt-proBNP.
