To examine whether pre-heart failure (HF) myocardial injury explains the differential mortality after HF across weight categories. Obesity is a risk factor for HF, but pre-HF obesity is associated with lower mortality after incident HF. High-sensitivity Troponin T (hs-cTnT), a sensitive marker of myocardial injury, predicts incident HF and mortality. Stratifying 1279 individuals with incident HF hospitalizations by their pre-HF hs-cTnT levels (< and ≥ 14 ng/L), we examined the association of pre-HF body mass index (BMI) with mortality after incident HF hospitalization in the ARIC study. Mean age at HF was 74 years (53% women, 27% black). Individuals with pre-HF hs-cTnT≥14 ng/L had higher mortality after incident HF (HR 1.46, 95% CI 1.18-1.80) compared to individuals with hs-cTnT<14 ng/L in an adjusted model including BMI. Compared with normal weight, the mortality was lower in overweight (HR 0.69, 95% CI 0.48-0.98) and obese (HR 0.50, 95% CI 0.35-0.72) with hs-cTnT<14 ng/L; and in those with hs-cTnT ≥14 ng/L (overweight: HR 0.50, 95% CI 0.30-0.83; obese: HR 0.56, 95% CI 0.34-0.91) (interaction p=0.154 between BMI and hs-cTnT). The lower mortality risk in obese and overweight remained similar when log hs-cTnT was added as a continuous variable to a multivariable model and in sensitivity analyses adjusting for left ventricular hypertrophy and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. Although greater pre-existing subclinical myocardial injury was associated with higher mortality after incident HF hospitalization, it did not explain the obesity paradox in HF, which was observed irrespective of subclinical myocardial injury.
