Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Nil OnBehalf NA Background Patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD) have reduced physical fitness that contributes to the disproportionately elevated risk of cardiovascular disease in this population. Our aim was to assess the association between E/e’ and exercise capacity in CKD patients and the prognostic role of E/e’. Methods Patients with Stage 3/4 CKD, without previous cardiac disease were prospectively recruited. Recruited patients underwent transthoracic echocardiogram and exercise stress echocardiogram with assessment of exercise E/e’. Patients were compared, one to one, to age, gender and risk factor matched controls and were followed annually for 5 years for cardiovascular death and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Exercise capacity was assessed as metabolic equivalents (METs) with reduced exercise capacity defined as METS of ≤7. Raised exercise E/e’ was defined as exercise E/average e’ of >13. Results 156 CKD patients (62.8 ± 10.6 yrs, male 62%) were compared to 156 matched controls. CKD patients had higher rates of anemia (p < 0.01), larger left ventricular indexed mass (p < 0.01), larger LAVI (p < 0.01) and higher resting (p < 0.01) and exercise E/e’ (p < 0.01). Overall, CKD patients achieved lower METs (p < 0.01) with exercise and a greater proportion of CKD patients had METs ≤7 (p < 0.01). Receiver operating curves (Figure1) showed exercise E/e’ (AUC 0.89, CI 0.84-0.95, p < 0.01) to be the strongest predictor of reduced exercise capacity in CKD patients. Exercise E/e’ of >13 was also associated with higher rates of cardiovascular death and MACE amongst CKD patients. Conclusion Exercise E/e’ is a strong predictor of exercise capacity amongst CKD patients, who commonly have reduced exercise capacity presumably consequent to diastolic dysfunction. Raised exercise E/e’ in CKD patients is predictor of cardiovascular death and MACE. Abstract 1679 Figure.

BACKGROUND. Cardiovascular complications caused by vascular calcification in chronic kidney disease (CKD) are closely related to disorders of bone and mineral metabolism, the mechanisms of which require further study.THE AIM: to clarify the role of the regulatory proteins of bone metabolism of sclerostin and osteoprotegerin in the processes of vascular calcification and the development of cardiovascular complications in CKD.PATIENTS AND METHODS. 110 patients with stage 3-5D CKD (67 men) were examined. Median age is 47.0 (23.0-68.0) years. Osteoprotegerin (OPG), sclerostin, intact parathyroid hormone (IPTG), troponin I in blood serum were determined using commercial kits "Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay Kit for Sclerostin" ("Cloud-Clone Corp.", USA) and commercial kits "ELISA kit" ("Biomedica" (Austria) by enzyme immunoassay (ELISA). Echocardiography with Dopplerography was performed on the device "ALOKA 4000" ("Toshiba", Japan). The left ventricular myocardial mass index (LVMI) and peak systolic blood flow velocity in the aortic arch (Vps, peak systolic velocity) were determined to quantify hemodynamic changes indirectly indicating the state of the aortic vascular wall.RESULTS. Analysis of the ratios of the calculated glomerular filtration rate (EGFR), IMLJ, Vps, OPG, and sclerostin showed that a decrease in excretory kidney function is accompanied by an increase in the concentrations of OPG and sclerostin in the blood serum. At the same time, there is an increase in IMLJ and Vps. During the correlation analysis, it was shown that the level of OPG was positively correlated with the level of sclerostin and negatively with the level of iPTG.CONCLUSION. In our study, we obtained data confirming the interactive interaction between the vascular and bone systems. Morphogenetic proteins-inhibitors of bone metabolism (sclerostin and OPG) play a significant role in the defeat of the cardiovascular system in patients with CKD, as they promotes the development of vascular calcification.

Abstract Background Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) characterizes myocardial disease and predicts an adverse cardiovascular (CV) prognosis. Myocardial abnormalities, are present in early chronic kidney disease (CKD). To date there are no data defining prevalence, pattern and clinical implications of LGE-CMR in CKD. Methods Patients with pre-dialysis CKD (stage 2–5) attending specialist renal clinics at University Hospital Birmingham (UK) who underwent gadolinium enhanced CMR (1.5 T) between 2005 and 2017 were included. The patterns and presence (LGEpos) / absence (LGEneg) of LGE were assessed by two blinded observers. Association between LGE and CV outcomes were assessed. Results In total, 159 patients received gadolinium (male 61%, mean age 55 years, mean left ventricular ejection fraction 69%, left ventricular hypertrophy 5%) with a median follow up period of 3.8 years [1.04–11.59]. LGEpos was present in 55 (34%) subjects; the patterns were: right ventricular insertion point n = 28 (51%), mid wall n = 18 (33%), sub-endocardial n = 5 (9%) and sub-epicardial n = 4 (7%). There were no differences in left ventricular structural or functional parameters with LGEpos. There were 12 adverse CV outcomes over follow up; 7 of 55 with LGEpos and 5 of 104 LGEneg. LGEpos was not predicted by age, gender, glomerular filtration rate or electrocardiographic abnormalities. Conclusions In a selected cohort of subjects with moderate CKD but low CV risk, LGE was present in approximately a third of patients. LGE was not associated with adverse CV outcomes. Further studies in high risk CKD cohorts are required to assess the role of LGE with multiplicative risk factors.

Objective. Previous studies have controversial results about the prognostic role of soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2) in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, we conduct this meta-analysis to access the association between sST2 and all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality, and CVD events in patients with CKD. Methods. The publication studies on the association of sST2 with all-cause mortality, CVD mortality, and CVD events from PubMed and Embase were searched through August 2020. We pooled the hazard ratio (HR) comparing high versus low levels of sST2 and subgroup analysis based on treatment, continent, and diabetes mellitus (DM) proportion, and sample size was also performed. Results. There were 15 eligible studies with 11,063 CKD patients that were included in our meta-analysis. Elevated level of sST2 was associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality (HR 2.05; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.51–2.78), CVD mortality (HR 1.68; 95% CI, 1.35–2.09), total CVD events (HR 1.88; 95% CI, 1.26–2.80), and HF (HR 1.35; 95% CI, 1.11–1.64). Subgroup analysis based on continent, DM percentage, and sample size showed that these factors did not influence the prognostic role of sST2 levels to all-cause mortality. Conclusions. Our results show that high levels of sST2 could predict the all-cause mortality, CVD mortality, and CVD events in CKD patients.
