Introduction: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a highly prevalent presentation of cardiac structural abnormality and a strong predictor of adverse outcomes in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Different left ventricular geometry may provide additional clinical information. Soluble ST2 is a novel cardiac prognostic biomarker in MHD patients and is closely related to cardiac remodeling.

Objective: This study sought to evaluate the association of sST2 and left ventricular structure in a cohort of MHD patients.

Methods: Two hundred eighty-seven patients were enrolled. Left ventricular structure was assessed via transthoracic echocardiography. Left ventricular geometric patterns were defined according to left ventricular mass index and relative wall thickness (RWT). Serum sST2 levels were measured.

Results: Prevalence of LVH was 44.9% in the study population. In univariate analysis, sST2 levels were correlated with interventricular septal wall thickness, posterior wall thickness, and RWT. After multivariate adjustment, sST2 was independently correlated with only RWT (p = 0.028). Comparing sST2 concentrations across different LV geometric patterns, we found sST2 levels were significantly increased in patients with concentric cardiac remodeling and concentric LVH.

Conclusions: The present study found that sST2 were significantly increased in patients with concentric remodeling and concentric LVH. ST2/interleukin (IL)-33 signaling might participate in the process of cardiac remodeling via its pro-fibrotic action. Future studies on the mechanism of ST2/IL-33 pathway are needed.

Impact of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy on Global and Cardiac Metabolism and Cardiac Mitochondrial Function.

Authors:
Pieter Martens Matthias Dupont Pieter Vermeersch Jeroen Dauw Petra Nijst Virginie Bito Liesbet Mesotten Joris Penders Stefan Janssens W H Wilson Tang Wilfried Mullens

Background: Alterations in myocardial mitochondrial function and metabolism have been implicated in the pathophysiology of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The impact of mechanical dyssynchrony and its alleviation through cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on myocardial mitochondrial function and metabolism remain poorly understood.

Methods: HFrEF patients with an indication for CRT underwent targeted metabolomic analysis of 84 energetic substrates at baseline (coronary sinus and peripheral venous blood). Read More

Background: In the general population, increased aortic stiffness is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. Previous studies have demonstrated an increase in aortic stiffness in continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (CF-LVAD) patients. However, the association between aortic stiffness and common adverse events is unknown. Read More

Department of Cardiovasology, Hunan Provincial People's Hospital, Changsha, Hunan, 410000, People's Republic of China.

Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely used cytotoxic drug whose application is limited by its severe side effects. Little was known regarding how to offset its side effects. Therefore this study aims to explore the role of miR-200a-3p in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and its possible mechanism. Read More

State Key Laboratory of Cardiovascular Disease, Arrhythmia Center, Fuwai Hospital, National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College, No. 167, Beilishi Road, Xicheng District, Beijing, 100037, China.

Pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) or heart failure accompanied with chronic right ventricular pacing (CRVP-HF) has no established treatments. We aimed to carry out a meta-analysis of published studies about the therapeutic effects of the upgrade to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients of PICM/CRVP-HF. The PUBMED, EMBASE, MEDLINE, OVID databases, and Cochrane Library were systemically searched for relevant publications. Read More
