Popis: Serum aldosterone is associated with cardiac remodeling, which contributes to morbidity and mortality in heart failure (HF); however, the prognostic value of aldosterone in HF with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is unclear. We used liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to quantify serum aldosterone in 873 patients with HFpEF in a Registry Study of Biomarkers for HF. The retrospective study was conducted at Beijing Anzhen Hospital from May 2017 to October 2019. The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause mortality and rehospitalization for HF. Aldosterone concentrations in patients with and without events were 124.22 pmol L-1 (interquartile range (IQR): 48.62-256.20) and 96.33 pmolL-1 (IQR: 37.33-215.76), respectively (P=0.023). Aldosterone independently predicted all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR), 1.55; 95% confidence interval (95%CI), 1.06-2.27; P=0.024) and the primary endpoint (aHR, 1.43; 95%CI, 1.11-1.85; P=0.006). Patients with high aldosterone concentrations were at higher risk of concentric remodeling (adjusted odds ratio (aOR), 1.45; 95% CI, 1.03-2.04; P=0.034). Patients with high aldosterone and B-type natriuretic peptide concentrations were at a higher risk of the primary endpoint (hazard ratio (HR), 1.85; 95%CI, 1.29-2.66; P=0.001). We conclude that elevated aldosterone is associated with a risk of rehospitalization with HF and all-cause mortality in patients with HFpEF.
