Metabolomic Association and Risk Prediction With Heart Failure in Older Adults

Circulation: Heart Failure

BACKGROUND:Older adults have markedly increased risks of heart failure (HF), specifically HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Identifying novel biomarkers can help in understanding HF pathogenesis and improve at-risk population identification. Circulation: Heart Failure, Ahead of Print.

Increased Plasma Pyruvate Kinase M2 (PK‐M2) in Heart Failure: A Novel Biomarker Related to Cardiac Function and its Clinical Implications

Journal of the American Heart Association

Patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction had higher PKM2 concentrations than those with preserved ejection fraction (18.34.5 A high PKM2 level had a 1.913fold higher risk of the primary outcome (P=0.033) after adjusting for multiple cardiovascular risk factors, but not with cardiovascular death.

Hepatocyte growth factor and B-type natriuretic peptide as independent predictors of mortality in HFpEF patients

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundHeart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a common and heterogeneous syndrome with high mortality and morbidity. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors for all-cause mortality in HFpEF patients. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality.
