Biomarkers in Community-Acquired Pneumonia (Cardiac and Non-Cardiac)

Abstract: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains the first cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide due to infection. Several aspects such as severity and host response are related to its clinical course and outcome. Beyond the acute implications that the infection provokes in the host, pneumonia also has long-term negative consequences. Among them, cardiovascular complications and mortality are the most outstanding. Therefore, an adequate recognition and stratification of the risk of complications and mortality i… Show more

“…Mortality at 1 year after a case of CAP is high and it is thought that the cause may lie in a state of persistent chronic inflammation that leads to a greater number of cardiovascular events and higher long-term mortality [29][30][31][32][33]. Undoubtedly, knowing the kinetics of biomarkers is crucial to measure the evolution of inflammation, proADM being the one biomarker that has shown the best results [26,34]. For that reason, the evolution of biomarkers from day 5 to day 30 was analyzed to assess the impact of the intervention on inflammation and consequently, on cardiovascular events at late follow-up.…”

“…A high BNP level is related to acute respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis, and congestive heart failure and contributes to higher mortality in patients with pneumonia (25,26). PCT, as an indicator for bacterial coinfection, is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to guide antibiotic treatment for suspected lower respiratory tract infections (27).…”

“…Cardiac troponin rates have been associated with short-term mortality in several series, while its long-term prognostic value is more debatable [ 41 ]. Other CV biomarkers, including NT-proBNP, could have superior prognostic value in the long term [ 19 ], especially when coupled with other biomarkers [ 42 ] or prognostic indexes [ 43 ].…”
