Abstract
Introduction: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB), angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) reduce mortality and hospitalizations in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) but their use is limited in advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Methods: We carried out a systematic review of studies on HFrEF and CKD patients. The mean overall percentage of reported ACEI, ARB, MRA, and ARNI use, and the proportion of trials that included patients with advanced CKD grades 4-5 (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <15-30 ml/min/1.73m2) were recorded per year. The proportion of trials with advanced CKD was logtransformed, and then fitted into a time regression model. The interactions between the proportion of trials that included CKD grades 4-5 and the proportion of reported use of ACEI, ARB, and MRAs per year were explored using Pearson's correlation and univariate linear regression.
Results: A total of 706 articles were included; 76% reported background ACEI/ARB use, while 51% reported MRA use. ACEI/ARB use averaged 83% and MRA 50%. Of the trials, 57% included CKD grades 4-5. Over 10 years, the proportion of trials with CKD grades 4-5 increased while ACEI/ARB use decreased. MRA use rates remained about the same. There was an inverse association found between the proportion of trials with CKD grades 4-5 and ACEI/ARB use per year.
Conclusion: In the past 10 years, CKD grades 4-5 patients have been increasingly included in HFrEF clinical trials. Concurrently, ACEI/ARB use has reportedly decreased.
期刊介绍:
Current Vascular Pharmacology publishes clinical and research-based reviews/mini-reviews, original research articles, letters, debates, drug clinical trial studies and guest edited issues to update all those concerned with the treatment of vascular disease, bridging the gap between clinical practice and ongoing research.
Vascular disease is the commonest cause of death in Westernized countries and its incidence is on the increase in developing countries. It follows that considerable research is directed at establishing effective treatment for acute vascular events. Long-term treatment has also received considerable attention (e.g. for symptomatic relief). Furthermore, effective prevention, whether primary or secondary, is backed by the findings of several landmark trials. Vascular disease is a complex field with primary care physicians and nurse practitioners as well as several specialties involved. The latter include cardiology, vascular and cardio thoracic surgery, general medicine, radiology, clinical pharmacology and neurology (stroke units).
