Background: Although inflammation has been associated with different cardiovascular diseases, the relationships with future heart failure (HF) are unclear. This population-based study explored whether elevated plasma levels of inflammatory proteins are associated with incidence of HEMethods: Five inflammation-sensitive plasma proteins (ISPs, fibrinogen, ceruloplasmin, haptoglobin, orosomucoid, and alpha 1-antitrypsin) was measured in 6071 men (mean age 46 years) without history of myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke. Incidence of hospitalizations due to HF (primary diagnosis) was monitored over 22 years of follow-up, in relation to the number of elevated ISPs (i.e., in the 4th quartile). Subjects with myocardial infarction during follow-up were censored.Results: During the follow-tip, 159 men were hospitalized due to HE Baseline levels of all ISPs, except for haptoglobin, were significantly higher in men who developed HE After adjustments for confounding factors, the hazard ratios (HR) of HF were 1.00 (reference), 1.7 (95% CI: 1.1-2.7), 2.0 (CI: 1.2-3.3) and 2.6 (CI: 1.6-4.1), respectively, in men with none, one, two and three or more ISPs in the 4th quartile (trend: p
