Abstract

Background:

The serum levels of soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L), cytokine ligand 3 (CCL3), and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) are closely associated with heart failure (HF).

Objective:

This study evaluated the predictive value of serum sCD40L, CCL3, and NT-proBNP levels for lower limb venous thrombosis (LLVT) in elderly patients with HF.

Methods:

A total of 200 patients with HF were retrospectively included and equally divided into thrombus and non-thrombus groups based on lower limb vein ultrasound findings. Serum levels of sCD40L, CCL3, and NT-proBNP were measured and analyzed. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results:

Serum sCD40L, CCL3, and NT-proBNP levels were significantly higher in the thrombus group compared with the non-thrombus group (p < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that elevated serum sCD40L, CCL3, and NT-proBNP levels are risk factors for LLVT in patients with HF (p < 0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) for the combined serum sCD40L, CCL3, and NT-proBNP levels was greater than that of each individual marker (Z values: sCD40L = 3.337, CCL3 = 2.303, and NT-proBNP = 5.156; p < 0.001, p < 0.001, and p = 0.021, respectively).

Conclusion:

Elevated serum sCD40L, CCL3, and NT-proBNP levels were associated with LLVT in elderly patients with HF. The combination of these markers provides high diagnostic value for the detection of LLVT in this population.
