Abstract:
AIM To explore the correlation between bone metabolism index and cardiac function and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in elderly patients with Chronic heart failure CHF.
METHODS The clinical data of 133 elderly patients with CHF admitted to Beijing Friendship Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from October 2021 to October 2023 were retrospectively selected. According to the occurrence of MACE, they were divided into MACE group (n=79) and non-MACE group (n=54), and the general data, cardiac function index, bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolism index of the two groups were compared. The levels of bone turnover markers were detected by chemiluminescence immunoassay, including serum fetuin A(fetuin-A), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), total type 1 collagen amino-terminal peptide (PINP), β-collagen degradation product (β-CTX), N-terminal molecular fragment of osteocalcin (N-MID) and osteocalcin (OC). Logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation between bone metabolism indexes and cardiac function and the risk of MACE.
RESULTS Compared with the non MACE group, the proportion of patients with grade II、IV heart function in the MACE group significantly increased, while the proportion of patients with grade III heart function significantly decreased (all P<0.05). Fetuin-A (P<0.01), PINP (P<0.05) β-CTX (P<0.01), OC (P<0.01), and BMD (P<0.01) levels decreased, while BALP and N-MID levels increased (all P<0.01). LVEDV (P<0.01), LVESV (P<0.01), LVSV (P<0.05), and NT proBNP (P<0.01) increased, while LVEF decreased (P<0.01); Logistic analysis showed that fetuin-A (OR=0.887, 95% CI: 0.820~0.959), LVEF (OR=0.922, 95% CI: 0.864~0.983), BALP (OR=0.021, 95% CI: 0.001~0.478), PINP (OR=0.953, 95% CI: 0.911~0.996), β-CTX (OR=0.001, 95% CI: 0.911~0.993) is a protective factor for MACE in elderly CHF patients, while OC (OR=1.128, 95% CI: 1.043~1.220), NT proBNP (OR=1.074, 95% CI: 1.029~1.122), and BMD (OR=0.888, 95% CI: 0.796~0.991) are correlated risk factors for MACE in elderly CHF patients.
CONCLUSION Bone metabolism index and cardiac function index are related to the occurrence of MACE in CHF patients.
