Background: Although natriuretic peptides are increasingly used for the management of chronic heart failure (CHF), there are sparse comparative data. Therefore, we compared the importance of influencing factors, the ability to detect left ventricular systolic dysfunction, and the prognostic power of midregional pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), and aminoterminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in patients with chronic heart failure. Methods and Results: MR-proANP, using a new assay directed at the midregion of aminoterminal-proANP, was compared with BNP and NT-proBNP, using conventional assays, in 797 patients with CHF. All three natriuretic peptides were independently influenced by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and the presence of ankle edema. Area under receiver-operator characteristic curves for detection of an LVEF <40% were similar between MR-proANP (0.799 [0.753– 0.844]) and BNP (0.803 [0.757– 0.849]), and NT-proBNP (0.730 [0.681– 0.778]. During a median observation time of 68 months, 492 patients died. In multiple Cox regression analysis each natriuretic peptide was the strongest prognostic parameter among various clinical variables, but proportion of explained variation showed that NT-proANP was a significantly stronger predictor of death than NT-proBNP and BNP (Figure ). Conclusions: Despite similarities in influencing factors and detection of reduced LVEF, MR-proANP outperformed BNP and NT-proBNP in the prediction of death. A new assay technology and the high biological stability of MR-proANP are potential explanations for these findings.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by a twofold increase in morbidity and mortality due to chronic heart failure (CHF). At the same time, the prevalence of CHF among RA patients is significantly underestimated. The aim of the review was to analyze the results of the main studies on the features of the clinical presentation of heart failure (HF) in RA patients, the role of visualization techniques and biomarkers in the diagnosis of HF and preclinical dysfunction of the myocardium. HF in patients with RA is characterized by a predominance of HF with a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The use of clinical diagnostic criteria in RA patients can lead to both over- or underdiagnosis of CHF. Systolic dysfunction estimated by LVEF is rare in RA and does not reflect the real frequency of myocardial dysfunction. Echocardiography (ECHO-CG) with tissue Doppler echocardiography (TDE) and visualization of myocardial deformation, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the heart in RA patients revealed a high frequency of HF with preserved ejection fraction, left ventricular remodeling and hypertrophy, pre-clinical systolic and diastolic dysfunction. Determination of natriuretic peptides is useful for verifying the diagnosis of HF and estimating the prognosis in this cohort, despite the possible decrease in the sensitivity and specificity of these indicators in RA patients. The review discusses the advantages of MRI of the heart, including quantitative T1 and T2 regimens, in the diagnosis of myocarditis, myocardial fibrosis, and myocardial perfusion disorders in RA patients. In order to verify the diagnosis of heart failure and detect pre-clinical myocardial dysfunction in RA patients, the determination of natriuretic peptides concentration should become part of the routine examination, beginning with the debut of the disease, along with the collection of a cardiological history, physical examination, ECHO-CT with TDE, and visualization of myocardial deformation. Evaluation of the quantitative characteristics of tissue according to MRI of the heart could improve the diagnosis of myocardial damage.
