Abstract Aims Autotaxin (ATX) promotes myocardial inflammation, fibrosis, and the subsequent cardiac remodelling through lysophosphatidic acid production. However, the prognostic impact of serum ATX in non‐ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM) has not been clarified. We investigated the prognostic impact of serum ATX in patients with NIDCM. Methods and results We enrolled 104 patients with NIDCM (49.8 ± 13.4 years, 76 men). We divided the patients into two groups using different cutoffs of median serum ATX levels for men and women: high‐ATX group and low‐ATX group. Cardiac events were defined as a composite of cardiac death and heart failure resulting in hospitalization. Median ATX level was 203.5 ng/mL for men and 257.0 ng/mL for women. Brain natriuretic peptide levels [224.0 (59.6–689.5) pg/mL vs. 96.5 (40.8–191.5) pg/mL, P = 0.010] were higher in the high‐ATX group than low‐ATX group, whereas high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein and collagen volume fraction levels in endomyocardial biopsy samples were not significantly different between the two groups. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis revealed that the event‐free survival rate was significantly lower in the high‐ATX group than low‐ATX group (log‐rank; P = 0.007). Cox proportional hazard analysis revealed that high‐ATX was an independent determinant of composite cardiac events. In both sexes, serum ATX levels did not correlate with high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein levels and collagen volume fraction but had a weak correlation with brain natriuretic peptide levels (men; spearman's rank: 0.274, P = 0.017, women; spearman's rank: 0.378, P = 0.048). Conclusion High serum ATX levels can be associated with increasing adverse clinical outcomes in patients with NIDCM. These results indicate serum ATX may be a novel biomarker or therapeutic target in NIDCM. |
