Abstrakt:	Background: The relationship between serum complement C1q/tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related protein-3 (CTRP3) levels and ventricular tachycardia (VT) in heart failure patients with reduced ejection-fraction (HFrEF) is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in serum CTRP3 level and the relationship with VT in HFrEF. Methods: The study included 88 patients with HFrEF with and without VT and 30 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Serum CTRP3 levels were measured in addition to routine anamnesis, physical, laboratory and echocardiography examinations. The patients were divided into groups with and without HFrEF and HFrEF patients with and without VT. Results: Serum CTRP3 levels were significantly lower in the patients with HFrEF than in the control group (206 ± 16 ng/mL and 427 ± 49 ng/mL, p < 0.001). Similarly, CTRP3 levels were lower in the patients with VT (194 ± 10 ng/mL and 216 ± 15 ng/mL, p < 0.001). Left ventricular (LV) volume and tricuspid regurgitation pressure gradient were significantly higher and LV ejection-fraction was significantly lower in the patients with VT (all p < 0.05). Serum CTRP3 and LV end-systolic volume values independently determined the patients with VT (all p < 0.01). Every 10 ng/mL decrease in CTRP3 level increased the odds ratio of VT by 79%. In the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis, the area under the ROC curve for CTRP3 was 0.884 (p < 0.001). A CTRP3 cut-off value of 200 ng/mL could predict VT with 88.1% sensitivity and 80.2% specificity. Conclusions: Serum CTRP3 levels were significantly decreased in the patients with HFrEF, and decreased CTRP3 levels were very closely related to the presence of VT in these patients.
