Sumario:Introduction:A comprehensive assessment of congestion,including circulating biomarkers, is recommended in patientswith acute heart failure. The circulating biomarkers natriureticpeptides (NPs) and carbohydrate antigen-125 (CA125) could be useful for congestion assessment in ambulatory chronicheart failure (CHF), but there is only limited information abouttheir applicability in this context. Therefore, this study aimed toexamine the association of plasma CA125 and NP levels withclinical and ultrasound congestion parameters in CHF.Methods:This is a cross-sectional substudy of the CardiorenSpanish Registry, which enrolled 1,107 patients with CHF from13 tertiary hospitals in Spain between October 2021 andFebruary 2022. Through ambulatory visits, we performed acomprehensive assessment of congestion-related parameters,including clinical variables (orthopnea, peripheral edema, andjugular engorgement, represented by the composite con-gestion score [CCS]),echocardiography variables (lung B-linesand inferior vena cava [IVC] diameter), and circulating bio-markers (CA125 and NPs). The association of the NP and CA125levels with the clinical and echocardiographic congestionparameters was examined by multiple linear and logistic re-gression analyses.Results:This substudy included 802 patientsfor whom all the biomarker parameters were available {medianage, 74 (interquartile range [IQR], 63-81) years; 65% male}. Theproportion of patients with left ventricular ejection frac-tion >= 50% and estimated glomerularfiltration rate<60 was34% and 58%, respectively. The median CCS was 0 (IQR: 0-1),with 45% of the sample exhibiting a median CCS of >= 1. Thejugular engorgement, peripheral edema, and orthopnea rateswere 32%, 21%, and 21%, respectively. A total of 35% ofpatients who underwent ultrasound examination showed lungB-lines, and the median IVC diameter was 16 mm. The medianCA125 and NTproBNP levels were 14 U/mL (IQR: 9-28) and1,382 pg/mL (IQR: 563-3,219), respectively. Multivariate anal-ysis showed that higher CA125levels were independentlyassociated with higher odds of peripheral edema (p= 0.023)and lung B-lines (p<0.001). Further, NTproBNP was positivelyassociated with jugular engorgement (p<0.001), orthopnea(p= 0.034), and enlarged IVC diameter (p= 0.031).Conclusions:Clinical signs of congestion are frequent in CHF. In the am-bulatory setting, NTproBNP was associated with parameterslinked to intravascular congestion such as orthopnea, jugularengorgement, and IVC diameter, whereas CA125 was associ-ated with extravascular volume overload parameters (pe-ripheral edema and lung B-lines).(c) 2024 The Author(s).Published by S.
