Background Malnutrition is one of the most important comorbidities among heart failure (HF) patients, and serum cholinesterase (CHE) has been reported to be a prognostic factor in HF patients. On the other hand, atrial fibrillation (AF) is frequently observed in patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, there is little information available on the prognostic value of nutritional status in HFpEF patients, with and without AF. We sought to clarify the prognostic value of CHE in HFpEF with and without AF and compare it with that of other nutrition indices such as gastric nutritional risk index (GNRI), controlling nutritional status (CONUT), and the prognostic nutritional index (PNI). Methods and results Patients data were extracted from The Prospective mUlticenteR obServational stUdy of patIenTs with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (PURSUIT HFpEF) study, which is a prospective multicenter observational registry for acute decompensated heart failure patients with left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50% in Osaka. We analyzed 380 patients (median age: 80 [75–87] years, male: 46%) after exclusion of patients with in-hospital death, missing follow-up data, or missing data to calculate nutritional indices. On admission, 155 patients had AF. Laboratory data were obtained at discharge. During a mean follow up period of 1.1±0.6 years, 131 patients had a composite endpoint (CE) of all-cause death and hospitalization for worsening heart failure or cerebrovascular disorder. In multivariate Cox analysis, in patients with AF, CHE was significantly associated with CE independently of age, gender and body mass index after the adjustment with serum albumin, total cholesterol levels and total lymphocyte count, while it was not significantly associated with CE in patients without AF. C-index of CHE (0.708) was higher than that of GNRI (0.555, p=0.0028), CONUT (0.651, p=0.208) and PNI (0.635, p=0.208) in AF patients, while there were no significant differences in those nutritional indices in patients without AF. Kaplan-Meier curve analysis revealed that AF patients with lower CHE (&amp;lt;208 U/L = median value) had higher risk of CE than those with higher CHE (44% vs 18%, adjusted HR 3.26 95% CI [1.66–6.67], p=0.0005), while there was no significant difference in the occurrence rate of CE between patients with and without higher CHE in non-AF group (42% vs 31%, adjusted HR 1.28 95% CI [0.78–2.13], p=0.33). Conclusions Prognostic value of CHE would be stronger than other nutritional indices in HFpEF patients with AF, while it would be weak in HFpEF patients without AF.
