Abstract

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a novel cardiovascular biomarker which is particularly useful for detection and assessment of heart failure (HF). However, previous studies examining PTH in heart failure have primarily focused on left HF; thus, the relationship between PTH and right HF remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the serum PTH levels in patients with chronic right HF. A total of 154 patients with chronic right HF were enrolled in the present study. A binary logistic regression analysis model was used to assess the independent predictive value of PTH levels in chronic right HF. Partial correlative analysis was used to demonstrate the relevance of PTH levels on the parameters of assessment of right heart function. A multiple linear regression analysis model was used to evaluate the independent factors of PTH levels in patients with right HF. The results showed that the serum PTH levels in the right HF group were significantly higher compared with the control group. After adjusting for predictors of right HF, serum PTH levels were associated with right HF with an odds ratio of 1.066 (95% confidence interval: 1.030‑1.102, P<0.001. Serum PTH levels were independently correlated with plasma N‑terminal pro‑B‑type natriuretic peptide levels, right ventricular end‑diastolic diameter and severity of lower extremity edema (all P<0.05). Therefore, based on the results of the present study, PTH may be a useful biomarker for detection and assessment of right HF.
