Patients at risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) after myocardial infarction (MI) can be offered therapy with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). Whether plasma biomarkers can help risk stratify for SCD and ventricular arrhythmias (VT/VF) is unclear. The primary objective of the CAMI-GUIDE study is to assess the predictive role of C-reactive protein for SCD or VT/VF in ischaemic patients with the ejection fraction 30 and ICDs. Secondary endpoints included all-cause mortality, hospitalizations, and death from heart failure. Additional analyses incorporated cystatin-C and NT-ProBNP in multi-marker approach for the prediction of adverse outcomes. A total of 300 patients were enrolled. All-cause mortality at 2 years was 22.6, mortality from heart failure was 8.3. Primary endpoint occurred in 17.3. At a competing risk multivariable analysis adjusted for baseline variables, no significant difference in primary endpoint was found between patients with C-reactive protein 3 vs. 3 mg/L [heart rate (HR) 0.91 (0.501.64) P 0.76], while C-reactive protein 3 mg/L was strongly associated with mortality due to heart failure [HR: 3.17 (1.546.54) P 0.002]. NT-proBNP above median was significantly associated with the primary endpoint [adjusted HR: 1.46 (1.0202.129) P 0.042]. A risk function, including the three biomarkers, NYHA class and resting HR, allowed stratification of patient mortality risk from 5 to 50. C-reactive protein 3 mg/L is not associated with SCD or fast VT/VF, however, is a strong predictor of HF mortality. Biomarkers combined with clinical markers allow an excellent risk stratification of mortality at 2 years.
