abstract = {Cognitive dysfunction occurs frequently in patients with
heart failure (HF), but early detection remains challenging.
Serum glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is an emerging
biomarker of cognitive decline in disorders of primary
neurodegeneration such as Alzheimer's disease. We evaluated
the utility of serum GFAP as a biomarker for cognitive
dysfunction and structural brain damage in patients with
stable chronic HF.Using bead-based single molecule
immunoassays, we quantified serum levels of GFAP in patients
with HF participating in the prospective
Cognition.Matters-HF study. Participants were extensively
phenotyped, including cognitive testing of five separate
domains and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain.
Univariable and multivariable models, also accounting for
multiple testing, were run. One hundred and forty-six
chronic HF patients with a mean age of 63.8 ± 10.8 years
were included $(15.1\%$ women). Serum GFAP levels (median
246 pg/mL, quartiles 165, 384 pg/mL; range 66 to 1512 pg/mL)
did not differ between sexes. In the multivariable adjusted
model, independent predictors of GFAP levels were age (T =
5.5; P < 0.001), smoking (T = 3.2; P = 0.002), estimated
glomerular filtration rate (T = -4.7; P < 0.001), alanine
aminotransferase (T = -2.1; P = 0.036), and the left atrial
end-systolic volume index (T = 3.4; P = 0.004). NT-proBNP
but not serum GFAP explained global cerebral atrophy beyond
ageing. However, serum GFAP levels were associated with the
cognitive domain visual/verbal memory (T = -3.0; P = 0.003)
along with focal hippocampal atrophy (T = 2.3; P =
0.025).Serum GFAP levels are affected by age, smoking, and
surrogates of the severity of HF. The association of GFAP
with memory dysfunction suggests that astroglial
pathologies, which evade detection by conventional MRI, may
contribute to memory loss beyond ageing in patients with
chronic HF.},
