Abstract:
:Besides clinical characteristics, easy-accessible laboratory markers could be of value to refine risk stratification in peripheral artery disease. In the current study, we investigated whether α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBDH) is associated with atherothrombotic events in 83 stable patients undergoing infrainguinal angioplasty and stenting. The primary endpoint was defined as the composite of the first occurrence of nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke or transient ischemic attack and cardiovascular death within 2 years after angioplasty and stenting, and occurred in 6 patients (7.2%). HBDH levels at baseline were significantly higher in patients who subsequently developed the primary endpoint (126 U/L [116-137 U/L] vs. 105 U/L [95-120 U/L]; p = 0.04). ROC curve analysis revealed that HBDH could distinguish between patients without and with future atherothrombotic events. A HBDH concentration ≥ 115 U/L was identified as the best threshold to predict the composite endpoint, providing a sensitivity of 83.3% and a specificity of 71.4%, and was therefore defined as high HBDH. High HBDH was seen in 28 patients (33.7%). Ischemic events occurred significantly more often in patients with high HBDH than in patients with lower HBDH levels (5 vs. 1 patients, p = 0.007). In conclusion, HBDH is associated with the occurrence of atherothrombotic events after infrainguinal angioplasty with stent implantation. Future trials are warranted to study the predictive role of HBDH for ischemic outcomes and to investigate underlying mechanisms.
