Popis: Purpose Inflammatory mechanisms have been suggested to play a role in the heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HF-REF) development, but the role of chemokines is largely unknown. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) may reverse the HF-REF course. We aimed to evaluate selected chemokines concentrations in HF-REF patients and their relationship with disease severity and clinical response to CRT. Materials and methods The study included 37 patients (64.1 ± 11.04 years, 6 females) with HF-REF subjected to CRT, controlled prior to implantation and after 6 months. The control population included 26 healthy volunteers (63.9 ± 8.1 years, 8 females). Serum chemokines concentrations were determined using multiplex method. Results HF-REF patients were characterized by the higher baseline MIF, NAP-2 and PF4 concentrations and lower Axl, BTC, IL-9, and IL-18 BPa concentrations comparing to controls. After 6 months of CRT only NAP-2 concentration decreased significantly in comparison to the baseline values. Conclusions HF-REF patients present altered chemokines profile compared to the control group. The CRT-related alleviation of HF-REF causes only slight changes in the chemokines concentrations especially in the platelet-associated ones. The precise chemokines role in the HF-REF pathogenesis and their prognostic value remains to be established.
