Abstract
- Visual Abstract<br />Highlights • Patients with dilated cardiomyopathy who achieved LVRR have a favorable prognosis, but it is still difficult to precisely predict LVRR in the clinical setting. • Immunostaining of DNA damage markers such as PAR in biopsy specimens from patients with dilated cardiomyopathy revealed that patients with LVRR showed a significantly smaller proportion of PAR-positive nuclei compared with those without LVRR. • The high proportion of PAR-positive nuclei was an independent prognostic factor for LVRR. Besides, it can predict clinical prognosis (death, heart transplantation, and ventricular assist device implantation) with good sensitivity and specificity.<br />Summary This study evaluated myocardial nuclear staining for the DNA damage markers poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) and γ-H2A.X in 58 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. Patients with left ventricular reverse remodeling (LVRR) showed a significantly smaller proportion of PAR-positive nuclei and γ-H2A.X–positive nuclei in biopsy specimens compared with those without LVRR. Propensity analysis showed that the proportion of both PAR-positive and γ-H2A.X–positive nuclei were independent prognostic factors for LVRR. In conclusion, we showed the utility of DNA damage-marker staining to predict the probability of LVRR, thus revealing a novel prognostic predictor of medical therapy for dilated cardiomyopathy.
