Fgf 23

Introduction: Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) is a bone-derived phosphaturic hormone strongly associated with cardiovascular mortality and left ventricular hypertrophy among individuals with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Whether the relationship between FGF-23 and cardiac dysfunction extends to participants without ESRD is not clearly established. Hypothesis: We tested whether FGF-23 is associated with left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in participants with coronary heart disease (CHD) and a broad range of kidney function in the Heart and Soul Study. Methods and Results: In cross-sectional analyses of 887 participants of the Heart and Soul Study, FGF-23 was positively associated with LVMI (2.09 g/m 2 , 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.15 to 4.03 per 1 standard-deviation [SD] higher ln FGF-23) and inversely associated with LVEF (-0.96%, CI -1.71% to -0.21%, per 1 SD higher ln FGF-23) after adjustment for age, CHD risk factors, microalbuminuria, and cystatin-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). In multinomial logistic regression, FGF-23 was associated with an increased prevalence of concentric hypertrophy (odds ratio 1.66, CI 1.00 to 2.76, per 1 SD increase in ln FGF-23) but not eccentric hypertrophy (odds ratio 1.14, CI 0.96 to 1.36). The association between FGF-23 and concentric hypertrophy was stronger among individuals with an estimated GFR < 60 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 , and was not statistically significant among individuals with normal to mildly reduced kidney function (Figure, p interaction 0.11). Conclusion: In conclusion, FGF-23 was associated with greater left ventricular mass and concentric hypertrophy, particularly among individuals with diminished kidney function. Additional studies are necessary to determine the pathways that mediate this association.

Introduction: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is more prevalent in blacks than whites, and is a major independent predictor of coronary heart disease (CHD)/CVD survival in blacks. We evaluated the ability of LVH to predict CHD outcomes beyond traditional cardiovascular risk factors in blacks, compared with whites from a large community-based cohort. Methods: Data were analyzed on 14,489 participants (mean age 54 +/- 5.7 years, 43.5% men, and 26% black) within the ARIC cohort, with baseline (1987-1989) electrocardiograms (ECG), followed through 2009. Risk estimates for incident CHD were assessed using the 10-year Framingham Risk Score (FRS). Model 1 was the Framingham base model, while model 2 included the base model plus LVH by any of 11 traditional ECG-LVH criteria (Table). Net reclassification improvement (NRI) was calculated, and the distribution of risk was compared using model 2 vs. model 1. Results: There were 690 (4.8%) 10-year and 1515 (10.5%) 20-year CHD events. LVH defined by any criteria was associated with CHD events in the entire cohort [HR (95% CI): 1.42 (1.20-1.7)]. LVH defined by the Framingham ECG score and LV strain criteria were the criteria most associated with CHD overall. LVH by Framingham ECG score was most associated with CHD in blacks [HR (95%CI): 2.53 (1.65-3.89)], while LV strain showed the strongest association with CHD in whites [1.73 (1.18-2.56)]. No statistically significant improvement in NRI or C-statistic was observed in model 2 [C-statistic (95% CI): 0.779 (0.763-0.794), NRI = 0.006 (p = 0.41)], compared with the base model [0.777 (0.762-0.792)]; and no racial interactions were observed. Findings were unchanged when the base model was replaced with the 10 and 20-year ARIC risk model (includes diabetes) for CHD. Conclusions: In this cohort of black and white men and women, LVH (defined by ECG) was significantly associated with CHD after adjustment for FRS; but did not significantly improve CHD risk prediction beyond the FRS. No significant black-white differences in risk prediction were observed. Table.
