Abstract Background The immunomodulatory molecule sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) has received attention in the cardiovascular field due to its significant cardioprotective effects, as revealed in animal studies. Until now, it has been unclear what is the normal range of S1P in chronic heart failure patients and whether it is related to long term prognosis. Purpose The purpose of our study was to identify the distribution characteristics of S1P in systolic heart failure patients and the prognostic value of S1P for long-term prognosis. Methods We recruited 210 chronic systolic heart failure patients from June 2014 to December 2015. Meanwhile 54 healthy people in the same area were selected as controls. Plasma S1P was measured by mass spectrometry. Patients were grouped according to the baseline S1P level quartiles, and restricted cubic spline plots described a U-shaped association between S1P and all cause death. Cox proportional hazard analysis was used to determine the relationship between category of S1P and all-cause death. Survival curves were using the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test was used for comparison. Results Compared with the control group, the plasma S1P in chronic heart failure patients demonstrated a higher mean level (1.269 μmol/L vs 1.122 μmol/L, P=0.006) and a larger standard deviation (0.441 vs 0.316, P=0.022). After a follow-up period of 31.7±10.3 months, the second quartile (0.967–1.192μml/L) with largely normal S1P levels had the lowest all-cause mortality and either an increase (HR=3.87, 95% CI 1.504–9.960, P=0.005, adjusted HR=3.134, 95% CI 1.211–8.111, P=0.019) or a decrease (HR=3.271, 95% CI 1.277–8.381, P=0.014, adjusted HR=1.90, 95% CI 0.711–5.083, P=0.200) predicted a worse prognosis. Conclusions Plasma S1P levels in systolic heart failure patients are related to the long-term all-cause mortality with a U-shaped correlation. Through restoring abnormal levels to a normal range instead of simply up regulation or down regulation, S1P may have the potential to be a therapeutic target for reducing the risk of death in patients with heart failure in the future.

Abstract Background: The endogenous lipid molecule sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) has received attention in the cardiovascular field due to its significant cardioprotective effects, as revealed in animal studies. The purpose of our study was to identify the distribution characteristics of S1P in systolic heart failure patients and the prognostic value of S1P for long-term prognosis. Methods: We recruited 210 chronic systolic heart failure patients from June 2014 to December 2015. Meanwhile 54 healthy people in the same area were selected as controls. Plasma S1P was measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Patients were grouped according to the baseline S1P level quartiles, and restricted cubic spline plots described the association between S1P and all cause death. Cox proportional hazard analysis was used to determine the relationship between category of S1P and all-cause death. Results: Compared with the control group, the plasma S1P in chronic heart failure patients demonstrated a higher mean level (1.269 μmol/L vs 1.122 μmol/L, P=0.006) and a larger standard deviation (0.441 vs 0.316, P=0.022). After a follow-up period of 31.7 ± 10.3 months, the second quartile (0.967-1.192μml/L) with largely normal S1P levels had the lowest all-cause mortality and either an increase (HR=3.87, 95%CI 1.504-9.960, P=0.005) or a decrease (HR=3.271, 95%CI 1.277-8.381, P=0.014) predicted a worse prognosis. Being grouped into the quartile4 group after correction of other variables with prognostic values for all-cause mortality (adjusted HR=3.685 [1.391-9.763], p=0.009) still predicted a worse prognosis. The survival curves showed that S1P levels in the quartile1 and quartile4 groups significantly reduced the patient survival rate. Conclusions: Plasma S1P levels in systolic heart failure patients are related to the long-term all-cause mortality with a U-shaped correlation.

Based on multivariable Cox regression with restricted cubic spline analysis, a non-linear and U-shaped association between S1P levels and the risk of all-cause death was observed. After a follow-up period of 31.7 ± 10.3 months, the second quartile (0.967-1.192μml/L) with largely normal S1P levels had the lowest all-cause mortality and either an increase (adjusted HR=2.368, 95%CI 1.006-5.572, P =0.048) or a decrease (adjusted HR=0.041, 95%CI 0.002-0.808, P =0.036) predicted a worse prognosis.The survival curves showed that patients in the lowest quartile and highest quartile were at a higher risk of death. Conclusions: Plasma S1P levels in systolic heart failure patients are related to the long-term all-cause mortality with a U-shaped correlation.

Background: Acute heart failure is a global health problem with high morbidity and mortality. Short term and long term prognosis of these patients is poor. Therefore, early identification of patients at high risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) during hospitalization was needed to improve outcome. Creatinine levels at admission could be used as predictors of major adverse cardiovascular events in acute heart failure patients because creatinine is a simple and routine biomarker of renal function examined in patients with acute heart failure. This study aimed to determine whether creatinine can be used as a predictor of major adverse adverse cardiovascular events in patients with acute heart failure.Methods: This study is a prospective cohort study of 108 acute heart failure patients treated at H. Adam Malik Hospital from July 2018 to January 2019. Creatinine cut-off points were determined using the ROC curve, then bivariate and multivariate analyzes were performed to determine predictors of major adverse cardiovascular events during hospitalization.Results: From 108 study subjects, 24 (22.2%) subjects experienced major adverse cardiovascular events during hospitalization. The subjects who died were 20 people (83.4%), subjects with arrhythmia were 2 people (8.3%), and those who had stroke were 2 people (8.3 %). Through the ROC curve analysis, we found creatinine cut-off values of ≥1.7 mg / dl (AUC 0.899, 95% CI 0.840- 0.957, p <0.05). Creatinine ≥1.7 mg/dl could predict major adverse cardiovascular events with a sensitivity of 87.5% and specificity of 79.5%. Multivariate analysis showed that creatinine ≥1.7 mg / dl was an independent factor to predict MACEs during hospitalization in this study (OR 18,310, p 0.001) as well as creatinine clearance and heart rate.Conclusion: Creatinine levels at admission is an independent predictor for major adverse cardiovascular events during hospitalization in acute heart failure patients.

Cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular comorbidities are frequently observed in heart failure patients, complicating the therapeutic management and leading to poor prognosis. The prompt recognition of associated comorbid conditions is of great importance to optimize the clinical management, the follow-up, and the treatment of patients affected by chronic heart failure. Anaemia and iron deficiency are commonly reported in all heart failure forms, have a multifactorial aetiology and are responsible for reduced exercise tolerance, impaired quality of life, and poor long-term prognosis. Diabetes mellitus is highly prevalent in heart failure and a poor glycaemic control is associated with worst outcome. Two specific heart failure forms are usually observed in diabetic patients: an ischaemic cardiomyopathy or a typical diabetic cardiomyopathy. The implementation of use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors will much improve in the near future the long-term prognosis of patients affected by heart failure and diabetes. Among cardiovascular comorbidities, atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmic disease of heart failure patients and it is still not clear whether its presence should be considered as a prognostic indicator or as a marker of advanced disease. The aim of the present review was to explore the clinical and prognostic impact of anaemia and iron deficiency, diabetes mellitus, and atrial fibrillation in patients affected by chronic heart failure.
