Abstract
Background: Heart failure (HF) is a diverse and potentially fatal condition affecting more than 60 million people worldwide. Previous studies have identified a close relationship between leptin levels and HF, and that leptin levels in patients with HF are higher than those in healthy individuals. However, some studies have reported inconsistent results. Therefore, the association between leptin levels and HF remains controversial.
Methods: A literature search was conducted on the Web of Science, Wiley Online Library, Embase, and PubMed databases. The title or abstract search term 'leptin' was used in combination with 'heart failure' and 'HF'. Meta-analysis results were reported as standardized mean differences (SMD) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI).
Results: Eighteen studies comprising 1149 patients with HF and 622 healthy controls were included in the meta-analysis. Leptin levels in patients with HF were significantly higher than those in healthy individuals (SMD, 0.54; 95% CI [0.15, 0.93]).
Conclusions: To our knowledge, this systematic review is the first to evaluate the relationship between leptin and HF. Determining the role of leptin in HF will significantly contribute to its diagnosis and treatment.

期刊介绍:
Global Heart offers a forum for dialogue and education on research, developments, trends, solutions and public health programs related to the prevention and control of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) worldwide, with a special focus on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Manuscripts should address not only the extent or epidemiology of the problem, but also describe interventions to effectively control and prevent CVDs and the underlying factors. The emphasis should be on approaches applicable in settings with limited resources.
Economic evaluations of successful interventions are particularly welcome. We will also consider negative findings if important. While reports of hospital or clinic-based treatments are not excluded, particularly if they have broad implications for cost-effective disease control or prevention, we give priority to papers addressing community-based activities. We encourage submissions on cardiovascular surveillance and health policies, professional education, ethical issues and technological innovations related to prevention.
Global Heart is particularly interested in publishing data from updated national or regional demographic health surveys, World Health Organization or Global Burden of Disease data, large clinical disease databases or registries. Systematic reviews or meta-analyses on globally relevant topics are welcome. We will also consider clinical research that has special relevance to LMICs, e.g. using validated instruments to assess health-related quality-of-life in patients from LMICs, innovative diagnostic-therapeutic applications, real-world effectiveness clinical trials, research methods (innovative methodologic papers, with emphasis on low-cost research methods or novel application of methods in low resource settings), and papers pertaining to cardiovascular health promotion and policy (quantitative evaluation of health programs.
