This study found that the levels of HMGB1 were associated with increased mortality in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. Multivariable Cox regression analysis confirmed HMGB1 as a risk factor for mortality in DCM patients, independent of NT-proBNP, age, and gender.
High-mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1) is released during tissue damage and activates the innate immune system through toll-like receptor 4. Because mortality in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is associated with activation of the innate immune system, we hypothesized that HMGB1 possesses a prognostic value in estimating mortality in patients with DCM. We determined HMGB1 and N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) levels in 67 patients with DCM (12 women, mean age 53.6 +/- 1.5 years). Kaplan - Meier analyzes revealed that higher levels of HMGB1 and NT-proBNP are related to increased all-cause mortality. Multivariable Cox regression confirmed HMGB1 as a risk factor for mortality in patients with DCM, independent of NT-proBNP, age, and gender (hazard ratio per 1 SD 1.920, 95% confidence interval 1.401 to 2.631, p < 0.001). HMGB1 is a promising candidate to estimate the prognosis of patients with DCM. (c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
