PG - H248-H255 LID - 10.1152/ajpheart.00212.2022 [doi] AB - Nonplatelet thromboxane generation, stimulated largely by oxidative stress, is a novel mortality risk factor in individuals with coronary artery disease. Though inversely associated with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), a potential role in the pathobiology of heart failure (HF) remains poorly defined. Nonplatelet thromboxane generation and oxidative stress were assessed by measuring urine thromboxane-B(2) metabolites (TXB(2)-M) and 8-isoPGF(2alpha) by ELISA in 105 subjects taking aspirin and undergoing right heart catheterization for evaluation of HF, valve disease, or after transplantation. Multivariable logistic regression and survival analyses were used to define associations of TXB(2)-M to invasive measures of cardiovascular performance and 4-year clinical outcomes. TXB(2)-M was elevated (>1,500 pg/mg creatinine) in 46% of subjects and correlated with HF severity by New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class and brain natriuretic peptide level, modestly with LVEF, but not with HF etiology. There was no association of oxidative stress to HF type or etiology but a trend with NYHA functional class. Multiple invasive hemodynamic parameters independently associated with TXB(2)-M after adjustment for oxidative stress, age, sex, and race with pulmonary effective arterial elastance (E(a pulmonary)), reflective of right ventricular afterload, being the most robust on hierarchical analysis. Similar to E(a pulmonary), elevated urinary TXB(2)-M is associated with increased risk of death (adjusted HR = 2.15, P = 0.037) and a combination of death, transplant, or mechanical support initiation (adjusted HR = 2.0, P = 0.042). Nonplatelet TXA(2) thromboxane generation is independently associated with HF severity reflected by invasive measures of cardiovascular performance, particularly right ventricular afterload, and independently predicted long-term mortality risk.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Nonplatelet thromboxane generation in heart failure is independently associated with risk of death, transplant, or need for mechanical support. Measurement of urine thromboxane metabolites using a clinically available assay may be a useful surrogate for invasive measurement of cardiovascular hemodynamics and performance that could provide prognostic information and facilitate tailoring of therapy in patients with heart failure. Inhibiting thromboxane generation or its biological effects is a potential strategy for improving cardiovascular performance and outcomes in heart failure.
