Abstract
Aims: Obesity is a major risk factor for heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). This meta-analysis of randomised clinical trials (RCTs) evaluated the effects of incretin-based therapies (IBTs), including glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and dual GIP/GLP-1 RAs, on clinical outcomes in individuals with the obesity-HFpEF phenotype.
Materials and methods: A systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science through December 2024 identified RCTs comparing IBTs with placebo in patients with HFpEF and obesity. Hazard ratios (HRs) or odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled for binary outcomes, and estimated differences (EDs) for continuous outcomes, using an inverse variance random-effects model.
Results and conclusions: Six RCTs with 7282 participants (50.3% receiving IBTs) were included. IBTs reduced the risk of cardiovascular death or worsening HF (HR 0.74; 95% CI 0.63-0.88; I2 = 0%), worsening HF events (HR 0.62; 95% CI 0.47-0.81; I2 = 16%) and all-cause mortality (OR 0.81; 95% CI 0.67-0.99; I2 = 0%) compared to placebo. No significant difference was found in cardiovascular mortality alone. IBTs also improved quality of life, functional status, systolic blood pressure and weight loss in patients with obesity-HFpEF.
期刊介绍:
Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism is primarily a journal of clinical and experimental pharmacology and therapeutics covering the interrelated areas of diabetes, obesity and metabolism. The journal prioritises high-quality original research that reports on the effects of new or existing therapies, including dietary, exercise and lifestyle (non-pharmacological) interventions, in any aspect of metabolic and endocrine disease, either in humans or animal and cellular systems. ‘Metabolism’ may relate to lipids, bone and drug metabolism, or broader aspects of endocrine dysfunction. Preclinical pharmacology, pharmacokinetic studies, meta-analyses and those addressing drug safety and tolerability are also highly suitable for publication in this journal. Original research may be published as a main paper or as a research letter.
