A systemic pro-inflammatory state has been hypothesized to mediate the association between comorbidities and abnormal cardiac structure/function in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). We conducted a proteomic analysis to investigate this paradigm. In 228 HFpEF patients from the multicenter PROMIS-HFpEF study, 248 unique circulating proteins were quantified by a multiplex immunoassay (Olink) and used to recapitulate systemic inflammation. In a deductive approach, we performed principal component (PC) analysis to summarize 47 proteins known a priori to be involved in inflammation. In an inductive approach, we performed unbiased weighted co-expression network analyses of all 248 proteins to identify clusters of proteins that overrepresented inflammatory pathways. We defined comorbidity burden as the sum of 8 common HFpEF comorbidities. We used multivariable linear regression and statistical mediation analyses to determine whether and to what extent inflammation mediates the association of comorbidity burden with abnormal cardiac structure/function in HFpEF. We also externally validated our findings in an independent cohort of 117 HFpEF cases and 30 comorbidity controls without HF. Comorbidity burden was associated with abnormal cardiac structure/function and with PCs/clusters of inflammation proteins. Systemic inflammation was also associated with increased mitral E velocity, E/e’ ratio, and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) velocity; and worse right ventricular function (tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion [TAPSE] and right ventricular. [RV] free wall strain). Inflammation mediated the association between comorbidity burden and mitral E velocity (proportion mediated 19–35%), E/e’ ratio (18–29%), TR velocity (27–41%), and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (13%) (P<0.05 for all) but not RV free wall strain. TNF-R1, UPAR, IGFBP-7 and GDF-15 were the top individual proteins that mediated the relationship between comorbidity burden and echocardiographic parameters. In the validation cohort, inflammation was upregulated in HFpEF cases versus controls, and the most prominent inflammation protein cluster identified in PROMIS-HFpEF was also present in HFpEF cases (but not controls) in the validation cohort. Proteins involved in inflammation form a conserved network in HFpEF across 2 independent cohorts and may mediate the association between comorbidity burden and echocardiographic indicators of worse hemodynamics and RV dysfunction. These findings support the comorbidity-inflammation paradigm in HFpEF.
