<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 (sST2) has been considered as a prognostic factor of cardiovascular disease. However, the prognostic value of sST2 concentration in chronic heart failure remains to be summarized. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We searched PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science for eligible studies up to January 1, 2020. Data extracted from articles and provided by authors were used in agreement with the PRISMA statement. The endpoints were all-cause mortality (ACM), cardiovascular mortality (CVM)/heart failure-related hospitalization (HFH), and all-cause mortality (ACM)/heart failure-related readmission (HFR). <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total of 11 studies with 5,121 participants were included in this analysis. Higher concentration of sST2 predicted the incidence of long-term ACM (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.03, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02–1.04), long-term ACM/HFR (HR: 1.42, CI: 1.27–1.59), and long-term CVM/HFH (HR: 2.25, CI: 1.82–2.79), regardless of short-term ACM/HFR (HR: 2.31, CI: 0.71–7.49). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Higher sST2 concentration at baseline is associated with increasing risk of long-term ACM, ACM/HFR, and CVM/HFH and can be a tool for the prognosis of chronic heart failure.

Abstract Introduction Biomarkers plays a critical role in diagnostic, prognostication, and decision-making in cardiovascular medicine. Growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) has been reported as a potential biomarker in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, there is limited data on the long-term prognostic value after an ACS. Purpose To study the long-term prognostic value of GDF-15 in ACS. Methods We included patients with ACS who underwent coronary angiography. During angiography an arterial blood sample was collected. Plasma GDF-15 were measured and clinical data and long-term events were obtained. As previously reported, risk categories were defined as low risk (<1200ng/L), intermediate (1200–1800ng/L) and high risk (>1800ng/L). Incremental prognostic value of GDF-15 for all-cause death was assessed on top of a clinical model (GRACE score, LVEF<40% and age). Results A total of 358 patients were included; 157 as a low risk, 85 as an intermediate and 116 as a high risk. The median (IQR) age was 65 (56–74) years and 27.4% were female. Of all patients, 61.5% were admitted with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, 24.0% with ST-elevation myocardial infarction and 14.5% with unstable angina. Higher values of GDF-15 were consistently associated with an increased prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors. During 6 years of follow-up 54 patients died. Of those patients, 7 (4.5%) had values of GDF-15 below 1200ng/L, 6 (7.1%) between 1200–1800ng/L and 41 (35.3%) above 1800ng/L. After adjustment for a multivariate Cox regression model, GDF-15 >1800ng/L were independently associated with all-cause death (HR 4.5; 95% CI 1.8–11.6; p=0.002) and the composite of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) which were identified as all-cause death, nonfatal MI and heart failure (HR 2.5; 95% CI 1.4–4.4; p=0.001). For long-term all-cause death a significant increase of the c-statistic was seen after addition of GDF-15 to the clinical model 0.871 (95% CI 0.817–0.924; p=0.019) as well as net reclassification improvement (0.769; 95% CI 0.487–1.051; p<0.001) and integrated discrimination improvement (0.117; 95% CI 0.062–0.172; p<0.001). Of 18 events of heart failure, 17 occurred in patients with GDF>1800ng/L. A multivariate competing risk model showed a significant association between GDF-15>1800ng/L and incidence of heart failure (adjusted HR 30.8; 95% CI 4.1–231.5; p=0.001) but non-significant association were found for myocardial infarction. KM figures and all-cause death ROC curve Conclusions In the setting of ACS GDF-15 can predict long-term all-cause death, MACE and heart failure and provides incremental prognostic value beyond traditional risks factors in the long-term all-cause death.
