Heart failure (HF) patients with anemia have worse clinical outcomes with increased hospitalization rates, decreased exercise tolerance, and higher mortality compared to those without anemia. Previous studies have indicated a correlation between selenium deficiency and anemia in healthy elderly individuals and in pregnant women. The BIOSTAT-CHF study reported that HF patients with higher selenium levels were less likely to have anemia or iron deficiency. These studies suggest that selenium deficiency can lead to the development of anemia. However, studies regarding this association in HF patients are limited. Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between selenium deficiency, measured by selenoprotein P (SELENOP) levels, and anemia, hemoglobin levels, and iron state in subjects with acute HF. Methods SELENOP, a well-validated plasma marker of selenium status, was measured in 320 subjects hospitalized for HF in the Swedish HeArt and bRain failure inVESTigation trial (the HARVEST study). Of these subjects, 310 had complete data on all covariates. Prior to analyses, skewed variables were ln-transformed. The relationships between continuous SELENOP levels and 1) Hb levels, 2) anemia (Hb & lt; 115 g/L (women), & lt; 130 g/L (men)), and 3) iron status (as measured by transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) which increase in iron deficiency) were evaluated using multivariable logistic and linear regression models adjusting for age, sex and renal function (cystatin C). Additionally, selenium deficiency was defined as SELENOP levels in the lowest quartile and its association with anemia, hemoglobin, and iron state was explored in multivariable logistic and linear models. Results Anemia was present in 133 subjects (42.9%). SELENOP levels were positively correlated with hemoglobin levels (0.238; p = 2.3x10-5) and negatively associated with TfR1 levels (-0.238, p = 2.0x10-6). In multivariable linear regression models, each 1 standard deviation increase in SELENOP was linked to higher Hb levels and lower TfR1 levels (Table 1). Furthermore, selenium deficiency was associated with lower Hb levels, higher TfR1 levels, and higher odds of anemia in HF patients (Table 1). Conclusions In acute heart failure patients, lower levels of selenoprotein P were associated with lower hemoglobin levels, higher transferrin receptor 1 levels, and a higher prevalence of anemia.
