Brief Summary: To determine the value of serum markers as surrogate endpoints and hemodynamic biomarkers of congestive heart failure
Detailed Description: BACKGROUND

The study will develop easily obtained surrogate markers to be incorporated into a model that can function in place of hard end-points in the assessment of new treatments in patients with heart failure In view of the epidemiologic importance of heart failure and the large and expensive studies currently required to test new treatments a successful surrogate marker model would be a major advance in this field that would both speed the development and reduce the cost of therapeutic advances

The study is ancillary to the NHLBI-supported clinical trial Evaluation Study of Congestive Heart Failure and Pulmonary Artery Catheterization Effectiveness ESCAPE ESCAPE compares the efficacy of Pulmonary Artery Catheterization PAC-directed treatment strategy to a non-invasive treatment strategy on morbidity and mortality in patients with severe class IV New York Heart Association NYHA congestive heart failure A secondary objective of ESCAPE is to determine costs and resource utilization of PAC-directed treatment strategy compared to non-invasive treatment strategy

The study is in response to an initiative Ancillary Studies in Heart Lung and Blood Disease Trials released by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute in June 2000

DESIGN NARRATIVE

The ancillary prospective observational study is designed to evaluate the potential of the serum biomarkers atrial natriuretic peptide brain natriuretic peptide and cardiac troponins to serve both as prognostic indices and as surrogate endpoints for death and hospitalization in heart failure trials The first goal wlll be accomplished by evaluating outcomes The investigators will develop a risk score for patients with advanced heart failure that incorporates the serum biomarkers and clinical variables and test for interactions between this score and pulmonary artery catheterization They will evaluate the ability of serum biomarkers to serve as objective measures of both clinical and hemodynamic status and will assess the potential of these markers to serve as tools to assist with the selection and titration of therapies In addition they will examine the relations between levels of natriuretic peptides troponins and catecholamines

This information will be the launching point for the second goal which will be to examine the relationship between the serum biomarkers and the treatment effect of pulmonary-artery catheterization on death and hospitalization In addition the investigators will evaluate the relations between levels of natriuretic peptides troponins and the treatment effects of B-adrenergic antagonists and inotropic agents on clinical outcomes Ultimately they intend to construct a statistical model that incorporates the serum biomarkers with greatest promise and clinical variables demonstrated to predict survival This final model may prove to be the best surrogate endpoint possible as it will capture an array of physiological mechanisms through which pulmonary-artery catheter guided therapy may have an effect

This proposed substudy will be conducted within the framework of the ESCAPE trial Natriuretic peptide levels are currently being collected at randomization discharge one month and six months as a secondary endpoint of the trial Catecholamines are also being collected at baseline and three months In addition the ESCAPE investigators are all ready capturing detailed demographic clinical and physiological information as part of the protocol for the primary study
