Background: Abnormal A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin Motifs 2 (ADAMTS2) and V-set and immunoglobulin domain-containing 4 (VSIG4) were explored in serum of heart failure (HF) patients and its association with C-reactive protein (CRP), uric acid (UA), and homocysteine (HCY) indexes was manifested.
Methods: ADAMTS2 and VSIG4 expression in serum of HF patients was analyzed. Pearson’s correlation coefficient analysis was employed to evaluate the correlation between the indexes. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to assess the recognition ability of ADAMTS2, VSIG4, and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) for HF. Kaplan-Meier survival curve and multivariate Cox regression were applied to analyze the prognostic value of ADAMTS2 and VSIG4.
Results: ADAMTS2 and VSIG4 were upregulated in serum of HF patients. ROC curve affirmed that ADAMTS2 and VSIG4 in serum manifested diagnostic value for HF, and the combined diagnosis accuracy of ADAMTS2, VSIG4, and BNP was greatly improved. Kaplan-Meier and multivariate Cox regression analysis suggested that reduced ADAMTS2 and VSIG4 could forecast the overall survival of HF patients.
Conclusions: This study assures that ADAMTS2 and VSIG4 are strengthening in HF patients, which makes them new non-invasive biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of HF.
