Résumé
Reliable predictors of treatment efficacy in heart failure have been long awaited. DNA damage has been implicated as a cause of heart failure. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of DNA damage in myocardial tissue with treatment response and prognosis of heart failure. The authors performed immunostaining of DNA damage markers poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) and γ-H2A.X in endomyocardial biopsy specimens from 175 patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) of various underlying etiologies. They calculated the percentage of nuclei positive for each DNA damage marker (%PAR and %γ-H2A.X). The primary outcome was left ventricular reverse remodeling (LVRR) at 1 year, and the secondary outcome was a composite of cardiovascular death, heart transplantation, and ventricular assist device implantation. Patients who did not achieve LVRR after the optimization of medical therapies presented with significantly higher %PAR and %γ-H2A.X. The ROC analysis demonstrated good performance of both %PAR and %γ-H2A.X for predicting LVRR (AUCs: 0.867 and 0.855, respectively). There was a negative correlation between the mean proportion of DNA damage marker-positive nuclei and the probability of LVRR across different underlying diseases. In addition, patients with higher %PAR or %γ-H2A.X had more long-term clinical events (PAR HR: 1.63 [95% CI: 1.31-2.01; P < 0.001]; γ-H2A.X HR: 1.48 [95% CI: 1.27-1.72; P < 0.001]). DNA damage determines the consequences of human heart failure. Assessment of DNA damage is useful to predict treatment efficacy and prognosis of heart failure patients with various underlying etiologies.

Patients who did not achieve LVRR after the optimization of medical therapies presented with significantly higher %PAR and %γ-H2A.X. The ROC analysis demonstrated good performance of both %PAR and %γ-H2A.X for predicting LVRR (AUCs: 0.867 and 0.855, respectively). There was a negative correlation between the mean proportion of DNA damage marker-positive nuclei and the probability of LVRR across different underlying diseases.

DNA damage determines the consequences of human heart failure. Assessment of DNA damage is useful to predict treatment efficacy and prognosis of heart failure patients with various underlying etiologies.
