PG - e5012 LID - 10.1002/bmc.5012 [doi] AB - Communication between amino acids (AAs) and heart failure (HF) is unclear. We evaluate the plasma metabolomic profile of AAs in HF and its subgroups and association with clinical features. This is a case-control study in which 90 patients with HF, 63 with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and 27 with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), were compared with 60 controls. The quantitative measurement of plasma concentrations of AA metabolites was performed using an AA analyzer. Compared with controls, HF patients had significantly higher levels of nine AAs and significantly lower levels of seven AAs. Leu, phenylalanine (Phe), and methionine (Met) were the independent predictors of HF that remained significant after adjustment for confounding factors in multivariate analysis. There was a significant difference in 10 AAs and some clinical features between HFpEF and HFrEF. The plasma levels of six AAs were significantly increased across the different New York Heart Association (NYHA) classes, (class II, class III, class IV) but they were not predictor of reduced EF and NYHA in multivariate regression analysis. There were significant associations between Leu, Phe, and Met with cardiovascular risk variables and prognosis. In conclusion, plasma Leu, Phe, and Met provide early prediction and prognostic values of HF. The plasma AAs could have significant impact on the risk-stratifying HFrEF and HFpEF and NYHA functional class but do not predict them. CI - (c) 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
