Abstract
Introduction
Although venous congestion secondary to elevated pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) has been hypothesized to worsen kidney function, the association of peak tricuspid regurgitation jet velocity (pTRV), a surrogate of PAP, with kidney outcomes remains uncertain in heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Methods
This post hoc analysis of the Treatment of Preserved Cardiac Function Heart Failure with an Aldosterone Antagonist (TOPCAT) trial analyzed participants with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of ≥45% who had pTRV measured by echocardiography at baseline. For the cross-sectional analysis, the association of baseline pTRV with baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was assessed using linear regression. For the longitudinal analysis, the association of baseline pTRV with decline in eGFR of ≥30% and doubling of serum creatinine was assessed using Cox proportional hazards models.
Results
Among 450 participants, the mean (SD) baseline age, LVEF, pTRV, and eGFR were 72.3 (9.6) years, 58.2% (7.4%), 2.8 (0.5) m/s, and 62.1 (18.7) ml/min per 1.73 m2, respectively. Each 1 SD higher pTRV was associated with a lower baseline eGFR (coefficient, −1.79; 95% confidence interval [CI], −3.48 to −0.10 ml/min per 1.73 m2). Over a median (interquartile range) follow-up of 3.0 (2.0–4.4) years, 203 (45%) patients experienced ≥30% eGFR decline, and 48 (11%) experienced creatinine doubling. Each 1 SD higher pTRV was associated with a 20% higher risk of ≥30% eGFR decline (hazard ratio [HR], 1.20; 95% CI, 1.04–1.39) and a 45% higher risk of creatinine doubling (HR, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.09–1.94).
Conclusions
Higher pTRV was associated with lower eGFR at baseline, and higher risk of ≥30% eGFR decline and creatinine doubling among patients with HFpEF.
期刊介绍:
Kidney International Reports, an official journal of the International Society of Nephrology, is a peer-reviewed, open access journal devoted to the publication of leading research and developments related to kidney disease. With the primary aim of contributing to improved care of patients with kidney disease, the journal will publish original clinical and select translational articles and educational content related to the pathogenesis, evaluation and management of acute and chronic kidney disease, end stage renal disease (including transplantation), acid-base, fluid and electrolyte disturbances and hypertension. Of particular interest are submissions related to clinical trials, epidemiology, systematic reviews (including meta-analyses) and outcomes research. The journal will also provide a platform for wider dissemination of national and regional guidelines as well as consensus meeting reports.
