Association Between Norepinephrine Levels and Abnormal Iron Status in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure
Mechanisms underlying iron homeostasis dysregulation in patients with chronic heart failure remain unsettled.

| Sumario: | Mechanisms underlying iron homeostasis dysregulation in patients with chronic heart failure remain unsettled. In cardiomyocyte models, norepinephrine may lead to intracellular iron depletion, but the potential association between catecholamines (sympathetic activation markers) and iron metabolism biomarkers in chronic heart failure is unknown. In this cross-sectional analysis, we studied the association between plasma norepinephrine levels and serum iron status biomarkers indicating iron storage (ferritin), iron transport (transferrin saturation), and iron demand (soluble transferrin receptor) in a prospective cohort of 742 chronic heart failure patients (mean age, 72±11 years; 56% male). Impaired iron status was defined as ferritin <100 μg/L or transferrin saturation <20%. Impaired iron status was observed in 69% of patients. In multivariate models, greater norepinephrine levels were associated with impaired iron transport (transferrin saturation <20%, odds ratio=2.28; 95% CI [1.19-4.35]; P =0.013), but not with impaired iron storage (ferritin <100 μg/L, odds ratio=1.25; 95% CI [0.73-2.16]; P =0.415). Norepinephrine was a significant predictor of increased iron demand (soluble transferrin receptor, standardized β-coefficient=0.12; P =0.006) and low transferrin saturation (standardized β-coefficient=-0.12; P =0.003). However, norepinephrine levels were not associated with iron or ferritin levels (P. |
