OBJECTIVE: Advanced chronic heart failure is a hypercatabolic state with an imbalance between anabolic and catabolic metabolism and finally progressive loss of both muscle mass and adipose tissue. Leptin, the product of the obesity gene, is a hormone secreted by adipocytes. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that plasma leptin concentrations are reduced in advanced chronic heart failure.
METHODS: In 20 patients with chronic congestive heart failure (LVEF 23 +/- 6%) and 20 healthy controls (LVEF 65 +/- 8%) matched for gender, age, and body mass index, fasting plasma leptin (ELISA) and TNF alpha (ELISA) were measured. Follow-up examination was performed after 1 year.
RESULTS: The fasting plasma leptin concentrations of patients with NYHA grade III (8.4 +/- 3.8 ng/ml*) and NYHA grade IV (4.6 +/- 2.4 ng/ml dagger) were significantly lower as compared with the controls (11.2 +/- 3.1 ng/ml; *p < 0.05, dagger p < 0.01). In patients with NYHA grade II plasma leptin levels were significantly elevated as compared with the healthy controls (14.9 +/- 4.2 ng/ml). TNF alpha was higher in heart failure patients than in healthy controls (8.6 +/- 3.6 pg/ml; 5.9 +/- 2.1 pg/ml; respectively; p < 0.05), but did not correlate with the NYHA functional class. Mortality of the controls was 0%, whereas 15% (n = 3) in the congestive heart failure group; one patient (5%) needs an urgent heart transplantation. All of those patients had leptin concentrations below 5 ng/ml.
CONCLUSIONS: Plasma leptin concentrations correlate with the NYHA functional class suggesting anabolic metabolism in NYHA class II and catabolic metabolism in advanced heart failure which might be of prognostic relevance.
