Background-Growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF15) is an emerging biomarker in cardiovascular diseases. We aimed to evaluate the association of GDF15 levels at admission with HF occurrence during hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods-Our prospective study included all patients admitted from June 2016 to February 2018 for type 1 AMI in the coronary care unit of the Dijon-Bourgogne University Hospital. In-hospital severe heart failure (HF) was defined as Killip class >2. Serum levels of GDF15 were obtained from blood samples were taken on admission. Results-Among the 284 AMI patients, median age was 67 years, and 27% were women. GDF15 levels were strongly correlated with age and positively correlated with most cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension and diabetes) and inflammation (CRP>3 mg/L). When compared with patients without HF (274/284), GDF15 in patients with inhospital HF (10/284) was more than two times
