Background: The prognostic value of cardiac troponin T (cTn-T) in a mixture of patients with both acute and chronic congestive heart failure (CHF), simultaneously assessed and compared with neurohormonal factors, has not yet been thoroughly evaluated. Thus, we focused on the prognostic value of cTn-T in comparison with atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and plasma norepinephrine (PNE) in this population. Methods: Prognostic correlates of elevation of cTn-T, ANP, BNP, PNE were analyzed in 63 acute and chronic CHF patients followed up to record worsening CHF and cardiac death. Results: cTn-T ( greater than or equal to0.03 mug/L) was found in 17.4% (11 of 63) of patients. cTn-T correlated with ANP, BNP, PNE. Acute Cl-IF patients were more positive for cTn-T and BNP. In our cohort, neither cTn-T (greater than or equal to 0.03 mug/L) nor PNE were associated with increased mortality and worsening HF in CHF patients. After adjustment, BNP was the only independent predictor of cardiac events (RR, 3.23; p=0.01). Conclusions: BNP emerged as the only independent predictor of cardiac events in a mixture of patients with both acute and chronic CHF, suggesting that it is the analyte that best reflects long-term prognosis in a diverse population enrolled to mirror the real world situation.
