Heart Failure with Etanercept Therapy: A Case Report

Abstract: Tumour Necrosis Factor-alpha antagonists constitute an important part of the therapeutic armamentarium available for managing autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthropathy. Here, we present the case of a 68-year old male with severe rheumatoid arthritis who developed chest pains and severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction following etanercept therapy. Etanercept was discontinued while he was commenced on standard heart failure treatment. This, consequently, led to complete res… Show more

“…Several systemic antipsoriatic drugs, including retinoids and cyclosporine, may predispose patients to cardiovascular diseases (Corbetta, Angioni, Cattaneo, Beck-Peccoz, & Spada, 2006). Tumor necrosis factor α inhibitors are associated with a risk of exacerbating heart failure, and measurement of NT-proBNP may be useful to follow-up the psoriatic patients who receive these drugs (Khan, Dormand, Neyses, & Mamas, 2013). Furthermore, in our study, serum NT-proBNP level was positively correlated with total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein levels in the psoriatic patients.…”

“…Indeed, increased TNF levels are seen in patients with LVH and other cardiac disorders 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 . However, results from large clinical trials, as well as several case reports, suggest that too much TNF inhibition can lead to dilated cardiomyopathy and/or heart failure 56 57 58 59 . Notably, cardiac function is preserved in our TNF antibody-treated mice.…”
