Cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease share common risk factors. Our goal was to determine if levels of N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and cardiac troponin T measured with a highly sensitive assay (hs-cTnT) are associated with silent brain infarcts (BI) and white matter lesions (WML) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the Atherosclerosis Risk In Communities (ARIC) study. 1920 participants had brain MRI at ARIC visit 3 (1993–1995). NT-proBNP and hs-cTnT were measured in all individuals at ARIC visit 4 (1996-1998). Of 1920 individuals, 1112 had a follow-up MRI in 2004-2006. We analyzed the association of NT-proBNP and hs-cTnT with MRI-defined BI and WML on the initial MRI and incident BI and WML progression on the follow-up MRI in participants without heart failure, coronary heart disease, or stroke. In the adjusted model, individuals in the highest NT-proBNP quartile had significantly more BI (odds ratio [OR] 3.50, 95% confidence interval [CI]2.03-6.20) and WML (β-coefficient 0.09[standard error](SE) 0.03]) on the baseline MRI and more incident BI (OR 2.18, 95% CI [1.38-3.47]) and WML progression (β-coefficient 0.22 (SE 0.10)] on the follow-up MRI. Individuals in the highest hs-cTnT category had more BI (OR 3.03, 95% CI [1.57-5.82) and WML (β-coefficient 0.11 [SE 0.04]) on the initial MRI and more WML progression (β-coefficient 0.43 [0.17]) on the follow-up MRI. NT-proBNP and hs-cTnT are independently associated with silent MRI-defined BI and WML suggesting that cardiovascular biomarkers may be useful to identify individuals with subclinical cerebral injury.
