| Abstract: OBJECTIVE: The structural and compositional changes in the myocardium seem to have a major role in the development of heart failure (HF).Imbalance between production and degradation in extracellular collagen results in increase of collagen synthesis biomarkers in the circulation as the carboxy-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PIP). Here we aimed to determine role of PIP in the diagnosis of chronic HF. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 87 patients with HF group and 80 healthy subjects were enrolled into the study. Echocardiographic examination was performed.At the beginning of the study, serum B type natriuretic peptide (BNP), PIP, high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were measured . The subjects were followed for one year then after. RESULTS:Average PIP value of HF group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p < 0.001). Both hs-CRP and BNP values were well correlated to PIP values (p < 0.001). In the HF group, PIP value of patients who died at the end of one year was similar to that of patients who survived at the end of first year. CONCLUSION: PIP may not mirror acute events in follow-up of chronic heart failure but it is a very beneficial biomarker in diagnosis of low-LVEF heart failure with high sensitivity and specificity (Tab. 2, Fig. 1, Ref. 16). |
