摘要：Abstract In patients with cardiovascular disorders, blood total ketone body (TKB) levels increase with worsening heart failure and are consumed as an alternative fuel to fatty acid and glucose. We investigated factors contributing to the increase in the blood TKB levels in patients with cardiovascular disorders. The study population consisted of 1030 consecutive patients who underwent cardiac catheterization. Covariance structure analyses were performed to clarify the direct contribution of hemodynamic parameters, including the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), left ventricular end-systolic volume index (LVESVI), left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI), and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels, to TKB by excluding other confounding factors. These analyses showed that the TKB levels were significantly associated with the BNP level ( P = 0.003) but not the LVEDP, LVESVI, or LVEDVI levels. This was clearly demonstrated on a two-dimensional contour line by Bayesian structure equation modeling. The TKB level was positively correlated with the BNP level, but not LVEDP, LVESVI or LVEDVI. These findings suggested that elevated blood TKB levels were more strongly stimulated by the increase in BNP than by hemodynamic deterioration. BNP might induce the elevation of TKB levels for use as an important alternative fuel in the failing heart.
