    Abstract Background: B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) as well as N-terminal-proBNP (NT-proBNP) are associated with cardiac events in the general population. Yet, data from the general population comparing both peptides for their prognostic value is lacking.
    Methods: Participants from the population-based Heinz-Nixdorf-Recall-study without cardiovascular diseases were included. Associations of BNP and NT-proBNP with incident cardiovascular events (incident myocardial infarction, stroke, or cardiovascular death) were assessed using Cox regression; prognostic value was addressed using Harrell's c statistic.
    Results: From overall 3589 subjects (mean age: 59.3 ± 7.7 yrs, 52.5% female), 235 subjects developed a cardiovascular event during 8.9 ± 2.2 yrs of follow-up. In regression analysis both natriuretic peptides were associated with incident cardiovascular events, independent of traditional risk factors (hazard ratio (HR) per unit increase on log-scale (95% CI): NT-proBNP: 1.60 (1.39; 1.84); BNP: 1.37 (1.19; 1.58), p<0.0001 respectively). Specifically looking at subjects <60 yrs only NT-proBNP, was linked with events (HR (95% CI): 1.59 (1.19; 2.13) for NT-proBNP, p=0.0019; HR: 1.25 (0.94; 1.65) for BNP, p=0.12, after adjustment for age and gender). Similar results were observed for females (HR (95% CI) 1.65 (1.28; 2.12), p=0.0001 for NT-proBNP, and 1.24 (0.96; 1.61), p=0.10 for BNP after adjustment for age). Adding NT-proBNP/BNP to traditional risk factors increased the prognostic value, with effects being stronger for NT-proBNP (Harrell's c, 0.724 to 0.741, p=0.034) as compared to BNP (0.724 to 0.732, p=0.20).
    Conclusion: Both, NT-proBNP and BNP are associated with future cardiovascular events in the general population. However, when both are available, NT-proBNP seems to be superior due to its higher prognostic value, especially in younger subjects and females.

    Abstract Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Thus, identifying subjects with unknown AF or at higher risk for future AF in the general population is of importance. B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is linked with silent cardiac diseases. We evaluated the association of BNP with incident AF in a large population-based cohort study.
    Methods: We included subjects from the population-based Heinz Nixdorf Recall study without known coronary heart disease, prior stroke, history of open heart surgery, heart-device therapy, or prevalent AF at baseline. Association of continuous and binary (≥31pg/ml for male, ≥45pg/ml for female) BNP with incident AF after 5 years was assessed using logistic regression analysis.
    Results: A total of 3067 subjects (mean age 58.9 years, 47.9% male) were included in this analysis. Subjects with incident AF (n=42) had higher levels of BNP (median (Q1; Q3): 33.2pg/ml (19.4; 50.5) vs. 16.9pg/ml (9.2; 30.2)). Likewise, BNP was associated with incidence of AF both in univariate model and when adjusting for AF risk factors (odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval (CI)): BNP as continuous variable: 1.27 (1.09; 1.47), p=0.002; BNP as binary variable: 2.68 (1.41; 5.11) with AF risk factor adjustment). Notably, especially younger subjects (<60 years) showed stronger association with incident AF than older ones (OR (95%CI) for dichotomized BNP: 7.20 (1.60; 32.49), p=0.01 for <60 years, vs. 2.13 (0.89; 5.09), p=0.09 for 60-70 years, and 4.40 (1.29; 14.97), p=0.02 for >70 years).
    Conclusions: Elevated levels of BNP are associated with significant excess of incident AF, independent of traditional AF risk factors in the general population. Gender-specific BNP thresholds may help in prevention by detecting unknown or future AF, which carries a high risk of stroke events.

    Abstract Background: A B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) threshold of 100 pg/ml is used in practice for identification of heart failure, but data about the "normal" distribution of BNP in a large population in primary prevention are rare. We aimed to characterize the BNP distribution in a healthy subset of a population-based cohort and to evaluate the association of elevated BNP levels with major events.
    Methods: In a first step, we determined gender-specific distribution and 90th percentiles of BNP in participants who were at baseline free from known determinants of increased BNP, i.e. cardiovascular disease, hypertension or chronic kidney disease. Consecutively, the association of BNP levels above these 90th percentiles with subsequent cardiovascular and coronary events was assessed in the entire cohort.
    Results: In the BNP-normal sub-sample (n = 1,639), we defined gender-specific 90th percentile of BNP (31.3 pg/ml for men, 45.5 pg/ml for women). From overall 3,697 subjects (mean age 59.4, 52.4 % female), 194 subjects developed a major cardiovascular event and 122 myocardial infarction during a mean follow-up period of 8.0 ± 1.5 years. The 90th percentiles derived from the normal subset as threshold showed strong associations with major events in the entire cohort even after adjusting for traditional risk factors: hazard ratio (95% CI): 1.86 (1.37; 2.53), p < 0.0001 for cardiovascular, and 1.77 (1.19; 2.62), p = 0.005 for coronary events.
    Conclusion: The gender-specific 90th percentile of BNP (31 pg/ml for males and 45 pg/ml for females) obtained from a BNP-normal sub-sample is associated with incident major cardiovascular and coronary events, suggesting that even BNP values lower than 100 pg/ml could imply prognostic information in the general population.

    Abstract: ... participants of the population-based Heinz Nixdorf Recall cohort study without coronary artery disease ...

    Abstract Aims: Several biomarkers including B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) have been suggested to improve prediction of coronary events and all-cause mortality. Moreover, coronary artery calcium (CAC) as marker of subclinical atherosclerosis is a strong predictor for cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. We aimed to evaluate the predictive ability of BNP and CAC for all-cause mortality and coronary events above traditional cardiovascular risk factors (TRF) in the general population.
    Methods: We followed 3782 participants of the population-based Heinz Nixdorf Recall cohort study without coronary artery disease at baseline for 7.3 ± 1.3 years. Associations of BNP and CAC with incident coronary events and all-cause mortality were assessed using Cox regression, Harrell's c, and time-dependent integrated discrimination improvement (IDI(t), increase in explained variance).
    Results: Subjects with high BNP levels had increased frequency of coronary events and death (coronary events/mortality: 14.1/28.2% for BNP ≥100 pg/ml vs. 2.7/5.5% for BNP < 100 pg/ml, respectively). Subjects with a BNP ≥100 pg/ml had increased incidence of hard endpoints sustaining adjustment for CAC and TRF (for coronary events: hazard ratio (HR) (95% confidence interval (CI)) 3.41(1.78-6.53); for all-cause mortality: HR 3.35(2.15-5.23)). Adding BNP to TRF and CAC increased measures of predictive ability: coronary events (Harrell's c, for coronary events, 0.775-0.784, p = 0.09; for all-cause mortality 0.733-0.740, p = 0.04; and IDI(t) (95% CI), for coronary events: 2.79% (0.33-5.65%) and for all-cause mortality 1.78% (0.73-3.10%).
    Conclusions: Elevated levels of BNP are associated with excess incident coronary events and all-cause mortality rates, with BNP and CAC significantly and complementary improving prediction of risk in the general population above TRF.

    Title translation Assessment of the natural history of coronary artery calcification and identification of its determinants. Rationale of the 2nd part of the Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study.
    Abstract The Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study, which was inaugurated in 2000, is an ongoing population-based study to evaluate the prediction of cardiovascular events by integrating new imaging and nonimaging modalities in risk assessment. A focus is the additional prognostic value of coronary artery calcification (CAC). Currently used risk stratification algorithms often describe the individuals' risk based on few established risk factors only inaccurately. Using noninvasive quantification of CAC progression, the natural history of atherosclerosis with its repetitive, frequently subclinical plaque ruptures, may detect an unstable course of the disease long before the disease irreversibly manifests in sudden death or myocardial infarction. While the independent additional prognostic value of CAC quantification has been shown in asymptomatic patients at intermediate risk, only few studies provided evidence for an independent prognostic value of serial CAC measurements. In the Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study, the impact of established and new risk factors, e.g., the metabolic syndrome, psychosocial and environmental risk factors, or genetic variables, can be assessed. Further, the association of CAC progression with the incidence of other cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure or aortic or aortic valve calcification can be described. Since April 2006, the participants of the study return to the study center 5 years after baseline recruitment to assess health status and to determine the risk factor profile. Based on recently published data, serial CAC measurements have been granted allowing for (1) characterization of the natural history of CAC progression, and (2) identification of its determinants. The rationale of serial CAC quantification is discussed in this article.The Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study will contribute to the appraisal of new imaging modalities in risk stratification.

    Abstract: ... of subclinical CAD and CHF in a general unselected population.: Methods: Participants of the Heinz Nixdorf ...

    Abstract Background: The main causes of congestive heart failure (CHF) are coronary artery disease (CAD) and arterial hypertension. Coronary artery calcification (CAC) evidencing coronary atherosclerosis may occur prior to clinical CAD. The aim of our study was to assess the association between CAC as a sign of subclinical CAD and CHF in a general unselected population.
    Methods: Participants of the Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study without known CAD but with known CHF as defined by a physicians' diagnosis of CHF and dyspnea were identified. B-natriuretic peptide was measured and an exercise stress test was performed as possible. Cardiovascular risk factors and the EBCT-based CAC Agatston score were determined.
    Results: Those 105/4,230 subjects (2.5%) with CHF (age 65 +/- 7 years, 44% males), had higher brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels (median BNP 36.8 [16.5-70.1] vs. 17.6 [9.5-31.7] pg/ml, p<0.01) and lower exercise capacity (108.7 +/- 39.4 vs. 130.0 +/- 40.7 W, p<0.01) than those without. CAC in subjects with CHF was significantly higher than in those without (median CAC 64.7 [8.5-312.3] vs. 11.6 [0-109.8], p<0.01). In univariate analysis, CAC-burden after logarithmic transformation according to log(2)(CAC + 1) showed a significant association with the presence of CHF (odds ratio (OR) (95% CI): 1.16 (1.1-1.23), p<0.0001). Adjustment for age and sex (OR 1.11 (1.04-1.18), p<0.001), additional Framingham risk score (OR 1.09 (1.02-1.16), p = 0.015), and additional cardiovascular medication (OR 1.07 (0.998-1.14), p = 0.058) attenuated this association. Age, systolic blood pressure, antihypertensive medication and increased body mass index also remained significantly associated with presence of CHF in the full multivariate model.
    Conclusion: The observed association between CAC and CHF in persons without clinically overt CAD is partly determined by risk factors that are involved in the natural history of both CAC and CHF. Whether CAC has a role to identify subjects at risk of future CHF remains to be determined using follow-up analyses.
