Purpose. To investigate the association of galectin-3 (Gal-3) and soluble ST2 (sST2) and their follow-up changes with the development of heart failure (HF) and echocardiographic parameters of HF (ejection fraction, atrial and ventricular size, left ventricular hypertrophy, e′, and E/e′) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). Methods. A prospective, observational study, BIOSTRAT (Biomarkers for Risk Stratification After STEMI), enrolled 117 patients between October 2014 and April 2017. Gal-3 and sST2 serum collection and echocardiography were performed twice (during index hospitalization and on a control visit at one-year follow-up). The primary endpoint was HF onset at one-year follow-up. Secondary assessments included associations of biomarker concentration with echocardiographic indices of systolic and diastolic dysfunction at baseline and at one year. Results. Mean baseline concentrations of Gal-3 and sST2 (7.5 and 26.4 ng/mL, respectively) were significantly increased at one-year follow-up (8.5 ng/mL and p<0.001 and 31.4 ng/mL and p=0.001, respectively). Patients who reached the primary endpoint (50 patients (48%)) had significantly higher baseline concentrations of both biomarkers and a higher Gal-3 level at one year compared to patients who did not. Both Gal-3 and sST2 were predictors of the primary endpoint in univariate logistic regression analysis, but only Gal-3 remained significant in multivariate analysis. There was no clear association between both biomarkers and echocardiographic parameters. Conclusions. Baseline, but not one-year, changes of Gal-3 and sST2 concentrations may be useful for risk stratification after STEMI. However, only Gal-3 was the independent predictor of HF development at one-year observation. This trial is registered with NCT03735719.

Abstract Background The occurrence of HF (heart failure) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has risen significantly over the past decade. Galectin-3 (Gal-3) and soluble ST2 (sST2) are involved in inflammatory processes and fibrosis and might be useful in estimation of the risk of HFpEF development after myocardial infarction (MI).Purpose: To investigate the association of Gal-3 and sST2, and their follow-up changeswith echocardiographic parameters of systolic and diastolic dysfunctionin patients (pts) with ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). Methods:A prospective, observational study, BIOSTRAT (NCT03735719), enrolled 117 pts. Gal-3 and sST2 serum collection and echocardiography were performed twice (during index hospitalization and on a control visit at one-year follow-up). Assessedat baseline and at one-year echocardiographic indices included left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), atrial and ventricular size, LV posterior wall and septal thickness, LV hypertrophy based on LV mass index, mitral inflow velocities, and early diastolic tissue velocities at the lateral and medial mitral annulus. Results:Mean baseline concentrations of Gal-3 and sST2 (7.5 and 26.4 ng/mL, respectively) were increased at one-year follow-up (8.5 ng/mL, p &lt; 0.001 and 31.4 ng/mL, p = 0.001, respectively). Fifty of 105 pts (48%) developed HF and 30% of the study population had LVEF &lt;50% at one-year. There were no significant differences between pts with LVEF &lt;50% and ≥50% in terms of baseline, follow-up, nor changes in Gal-3 and sST2 concentrations from baseline to the one-year visit. Gal-3 and sST2 concentrations at baseline, after one-year, and their changes were correlated with echocardiographic parameters. Correlation analysis revealed that higher baseline Gal-3 concentrations correlated inversely only with LV end-diastolic volume at one-year. There were no other significant correlations of baseline, follow-up, nor changes in Gal-3 concentration with echocardiographic parameters. Baseline sST2 values correlated positively with LV end-diastolic diameter, LV end-systolic volume, LV mass index, and inversely with LVEF at one-year, but not with baseline echocardiographic parameters. Changes in sST2 concentration correlated positively only with LVEF at one-year. There were no significant correlations of sST2 concentrations at follow-up with echocardiographic parameters. Only pts with a higher sST2 baseline level had lower LVEF at baseline and after one-year, and pts with higher concentrations of both Gal-3 and sST2 at baseline were more likely to have LV hypertrophy initially and after one-year. There was no clear association of rising biomarkers’ quartiles with other echocardiographic parameters. Conclusions:There was no clear association between both biomarkers and echocardiographic parametersof diastolic dysfunction. Increasing levels of Gal-3 and sST2 do not reflect the HFpEF development in pts after STEMI.

Echocardiographic Parameters

Improvement of risk scoring is particularly important for patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) who generally lack efficient monitoring of progressing heart failure. Here, we evaluated whether the combination of serum biomarkers and echocardiographic parameters may be useful to predict the remodeling-related outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and preserved LVEF (HFpEF) as compared to those with reduced LVEF (HFrEF). Echocardiographic assessment and measurement of the serum levels of NT-proBNP, sST2, galectin-3, matrix metalloproteinases, and their inhibitors (MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, TIMP-1) was performed at the time of admission (1st day) and on the 10th–12th day upon STEMI onset. We found a reduction in NT-proBNP, sST2, galectin-3, and TIMP-1 in both patient categories from hospital admission to the discharge, as well as numerous correlations between the indicated biomarkers and echocardiographic parameters, testifying to the ongoing ventricular remodeling. In patients with HFpEF, NT-proBNP, sST2, galectin-3, and MMP-3 correlated with the parameters reflecting the diastolic dysfunction, while in patients with HFrEF, these markers were mainly associated with LVEF and left ventricular end-systolic volume/diameter. Therefore, the combination of the mentioned serum biomarkers and echocardiographic parameters might be useful for the prediction of adverse cardiac remodeling in patients with HFpEF.

Timi Risk Score

Abstract Aims In ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) holds the potentiality to improve risk stratification in addition to Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk score. Nevertheless, the optimal timing for CMR after STEMI remains poorly defined. We aim at comparing the prognostic performance of three stratification strategies according to the timing of CMR after STEMI. Methods and results The population of this prospective registry-based study included 492 reperfused STEMI patients. All patients underwent post-reperfusion (median: 4 days post-STEMI) and follow-up (median: 4.8 months post-STEMI) CMR. Left ventricular (LV) volumes, function, infarct size, and microvascular obstruction extent were quantified. Primary endpoint was a composite of all-death and heart failure (HF) hospitalization. Baseline-to-follow-up percentage increase of LV end-diastolic (EDV; ΔLV-EDV) ≥20% or end-systolic volumes (ESV; ΔLV-ESV) ≥15% were tested against outcome. Three multivariate models were developed including TIMI risk score plus early post-STEMI (early-CMR) or follow-up CMR (deferred-CMR) or both CMRs parameters along with adverse LV remodelling (paired-CMRs). During a median follow-up of 8.3 years, the primary endpoint occurred in 84 patients (47 deaths; 37 HF hospitalizations). Early-CMR, deferred-CMR, and paired-CMR demonstrated similar predictive value for the primary endpoint (C-statistic: 0.726, 0.728, and 0.738, respectively; P = 0.663). ΔLV-EDV ≥20% or ΔLV-ESV ≥15% were unadjusted outcome predictors (hazard ratio: 2.020 and 2.032, respectively; P = 0.002 for both) but lost their predictive value when corrected for other covariates in paired-CMR model. Conclusion In STEMI patients, early-, deferred-, or paired-CMR were equivalent stratification strategies for outcome prediction. Adverse LV remodelling parameters were not independent prognosticators.
