Relations of circulating GDF-15, soluble ST2, and troponin-I concentrations with vascular function in the community: The Framingham Heart Study

Abstract: Background and aims Growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15), soluble (s)ST2, and high-sensitivity troponin-I (hs-TnI) are associated with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) including heart failure, yet the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. We investigated if GDF-15, sST2, and hs-TnI are related to subclinical vascular dysfunction in the community, which may explain the relations of these biomarkers with CVD. Methods We evaluated 1,823 Framingham Study participants (mean age 61±10 years, 54… Show more

“…Rather, increased sST2 may result from other pathophysiologic mechanisms, such as increased cardiac load, resulting in increased mechanical stretch of the heart, and may be more useful to predict hypertension 910. Indeed, recent work has demonstrated an association between sST2 and left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive patients2526 and a positive association between sST2 and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity 27. Further studies are needed to verify these results.…”

“…Arterial stiffness and endothelial dysfunction are well described surrogate endpoints of cardiovascular events. In view of these associations, Andersson et al examined the cross-sectional relationship between GDF-15, sST2 and hs-TnI and measures of subclinical vascular dysfunction in the Framingham Offspring cohort [6]. Participants with impaired kidney function were excluded from the analyses.…”

“…In particular, the measurement of easy obtainable and generally reproducible soluble biomarkers is an upcoming promising strategy for an accurate and cost-effective cardiovascular risk screening. In a scientific statement, the AHA recommended six criteria for the evaluation of novel markers of cardiovascular risk [1]: proof of concept (difference of biomarker concentrations between subjects with and without outcome) [2]; prospective validation [3]; incremental value in addition to standard risk markers [4]; clinical utility (impact on clinical management) [5]; improvement of clinical outcomes; and [6] cost-effectiveness [1]. In 2015, the thorough position paper from the European Society of Cardiology Working Group on peripheral circulation extended these criteria by adding [7]: ease of use for facilitating widespread application [8]; methodological consensus to allow comparisons between studies; and [9] reference values/cut-off values [2].…”

“…Additionally, Galectin‐3 has been found to be associated with increased risk for all‐cause mortality in the Framingham Offspring Cohort 23. ST2 has been shown to be a sensitive biomarker of cardiac stress with statistically significant differences in concentration when stratified by age or sex 24, 25. We hypothesized that the use of these 3 biomarkers will improve the current risk prediction model used by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association CABG guidelines 26, 27, 28…”
