- Abstract
- BACKGROUND: Increase in adrenomedullin (ADM) plasma levels in congestive heart failure (HF) patients is due to many cardiac and systemic factors, particularly to greater fluid retention and to activation of sympathetic nervous system. Aim of this study was to assess the role of plasma ADM levels in HF patients treated by cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). METHODS: 50 patients, mean age 70 years, 34 male, New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III-IV HF, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 35%, underwent CRT. All patients were in sinus rhythm and with complete left bundle branch block (QRS duration 138 +/- 6 msec). A complete echoDoppler exam, blood samples for brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and ADM were obtained from 2 to 7 days before implantation. RESULTS: At 16 +/- 6 months follow-up, or10% reduction in end-systolic dimensions (ESD) was reported in 21 patients (Group I): -16.6 +/- 1.8%; in the remaining 29 patients ESD change was almost negligible: -2.0 +/- 1.03% (Group II), P 0.0001. The two groups were comparable for age, sex, cause of LV dysfunction, therapy, QRS duration at baseline, preimplantation ESD, LVEF%, and BNP. Significantly higher pre implantation ADM levels were present in Group I than in Group II (27.2 +/- 1.8 pmol/l vs 17.9 +/- 1.4, P (literal)
