Abstract
Background and aims: Both iron overload and iron deficiency have been associated with cardiovascular diseases in observational studies. Previous Mendelian Randomization (MR) studies discovered a protective effect of higher iron status on coronary atrial disease, while a neutral effect on all-cause heart failure. Using two-sample MR, we evaluated how genetically predicted systemic iron status affects the risk of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and different phenotypes.
Methods and results: Two-sample MR analyses were performed to estimate the causal effect of four biomarkers of systemic iron status on diagnosed cardiomyopathy and its subtypes in 242,607 participants from the FinnGen research project. The level of transferrin saturation was significantly associated with an increased risk of cardiomyopathy (OR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.13-1.38) when using nine separately selected genetic instruments. An increase in genetically determined serum iron (odds ratio [OR] per standard deviation [SD], 1.25; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.13-1.38) and ferritin (OR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.02-2.18) were associated with an increased risk of cardiomyopathy. Total iron binding capacity, a marker of reduced iron status, was inversely linked with cardiomyopathy (OR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.65-0.98). The risk effect of iron status was more evident in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and related heart failure.
Conclusions: These analyses support the causal effect of increased systemic iron status on a higher risk of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. A screening test for cardiomyopathy should be considered in patients with evidence of iron overload. Future study is needed for exploring the mechanism of these causal variants on cardiomyopathy.
This is an important indication for ATH434 when it will (?) be approved for MSA. Of course, clinical evidence needs to be confirmed.
