Abstract
Background
Cancer therapy-induced cardiotoxicity (CTRCD), in the form of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), is being increasingly recognized. However, the potential benefits of sacubitril/valsartan (S/V) in managing HFrEF secondary to CTRCD remain unclear.
Objective
We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness of S/V in preventing cardiotoxicity.
Methods
We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases for studies evaluating S/V in patients with HFrEF due to CTRCD and reporting the following outcomes: (1) NYHA class; (2) NT-ProBNP and (3) echocardiographic measurements, specifically left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), global longitudinal strain (GLS) and E/e' ratio. Statistical analyses were performed using RStudio software. Heterogeneity was assessed using I² statistics.
Results
We included 257 patients from six studies. All patients received S/V. The mean patient age was 63 ± 8 years, and 85 % of patients had breast cancer. The mean LVEF was 34±7 % at baseline. S/V significantly improved NYHA class compared to baseline (MD -0.7; 95 % CI -1.2 to -0.3; p < 0.01), NT-proBNP (MD -985.1 pg/mL; 95 % CI -1231.3 to -739.1; p < 0.01), GLS (MD -2.5 %; 95 % CI -3.6 to -1.4; p < 0.01;), and E/e’ (MD -1.99; 95 % CI 3.7 to -0.1; p = 0.03). LVEF (MD 7.3 %; 95 % CI 5.4 to 9.2; p < 0.01) with S/V treatment relative to baseline.
Conclusion
In patients with HFrEF due to CTRCD, S/V significantly improved the clinical and echocardiographic parameters of left ventricular systolic and diastolic functions.
期刊介绍:
Under the editorial leadership of noted cardiologist Dr. Hector O. Ventura, Current Problems in Cardiology provides focused, comprehensive coverage of important clinical topics in cardiology. Each monthly issues, addresses a selected clinical problem or condition, including pathophysiology, invasive and noninvasive diagnosis, drug therapy, surgical management, and rehabilitation; or explores the clinical applications of a diagnostic modality or a particular category of drugs. Critical commentary from the distinguished editorial board accompanies each monograph, providing readers with additional insights. An extensive bibliography in each issue saves hours of library research.
