The primary outcome was hospitalization for heart failure (HF). The secondary outcomes were all-cause death, cardiovascular death, and serious adverse events (AEs). We pooled risk ratios (RR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) for binary outcomes. The between-study variance was assessed using tau² statistics. We included five RCTs, encompassing 11,211 patients. SGLT2i significantly reduced the risk of hospitalization for HF compared to placebo (RR 0.73; 95% CI [0.61, 0.88]). However, the risk of all-cause death (RR 1.05; 95% CI [0.78, 1.41]) and cardiovascular death (RR 1.04; 95% CI [0.84, 1.29]) was similar between the groups, as well as the risk of serious AEs (RR 1.01; 95% CI [0.90, 1.14]). In the subgroup analysis by DM status and type of AMI, there were no significant subgroup differences for the outcomes of hospitalization for HF and all-cause death. In patients with AMI, treatment with SGLT2i is safe and significantly reduces the risk of hospitalization for HF, but it has no impact on all-cause death and cardiovascular death compared to placebo.</p>","PeriodicalId":12950,"journal":{"name":"Heart Failure Reviews","volume":" ","pages":"219-226"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142521757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis (SR/MA) was to evaluate the value of B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) and NT-proBNP in predicting overall adverse outcomes, cardiovascular events, and mortality, in patients with HFpEF. This SR/MA included observational studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that reported the use of BNP and NT-proBNP as prognostic biomarkers for adverse outcomes in HFpEF patients. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE, and Google, without language restrictions, from inception until June 2024. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed. The quality and risk of bias of the included studies were assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Twenty-two studies involving 10,158 HFpEF patients were included. The analysis showed that BNP is a significant predictor of overall adverse events in HFpEF patients, with an overall HR of 1.34 (95% CI: 1.20-1.52). Similarly, BNP was a significant predictor of cardiovascular events and mortality in HFpEF patients with a HR of 1.36 (95% CI 1.12-1.64) and HR of 1.44 (95% CI: 1.04-1.84), respectively. When analyzing data for NT-proBNP predictive potential, 3 studies confirmed that NT-proBNP is a significant independent prognostic indicator for adverse events, with an overall HR of 1.80 (95% CI: 1.38-2.35). Comparable results were seen for mortality, with higher NT-proBNP levels associated with increased mortality risk and the MA showing a HR of 1.65 (95% CI: 1.55-1.76). This systematic review highlights the valuable prognostic role of BNP and NT-proBNP in predicting overall adverse outcome, cardiovascular events, and mortality in HFpEF patients. Our findings underscore the importance of further research to establish standardized thresholds and investigate BNP and NT-proBNP's potential in predicting morbidity and mortality.</p>","PeriodicalId":12950,"journal":{"name":"Heart Failure Reviews","volume":" ","pages":"45-54"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142380701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1 RAs), a class of glucose-lowering drugs, have demonstrated a wide range of pleiotropic effects that extend beyond glycaemic control. These effects include the reduction of inflammation and oxidative stress, vasodilation, decreased arterial stiffness, and a reduction in myocardial fibrosis-key factors in the pathophysiology of HFpEF. Recent evidence from the STEP-HFpEF and STEP-HFpEF-DM trials provides the first robust data supporting the efficacy of GLP-1 RAs, specifically semaglutide, in improving the quality of life in obese patients with HFpEF. These trials also demonstrated a significant reduction in C-Reactive Protein (CRP) levels, reinforcing the hypothesis that suppressing the pro-inflammatory state may yield substantial clinical benefits in this patient population.

MR antagonists (MRAs) have shown clear clinical benefits in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). However, in cases of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), there is considerable diversity due to its complex underlying mechanisms, resulting in conflicting findings regarding the effectiveness of MRAs in relevant studies.

Post hoc analysis of the TOPCAT trial identified certain HFpEF phenotypes that responded favorably to spironolactone.

While direct measurements of SNS activity in HFpEF patients is scarce, modest increases in resting levels of muscle sympathetic nerve activity are apparent, although this may be due to the co-morbidities associated with the syndrome rather than HFpEF per se. In addition, despite some evidence for dysfunctional sympathetic signaling in the heart, there is no clear evidence for elevated cardiac sympathetic nerve activity. The lack of a compelling prognostic benefit with use of β-blockers in HFpEF patients also suggests a lack of sympathetic hyperactivity to the heart. Similarly, while renal and splanchnic denervation studies have been performed in HFpEF patients, there is no concrete evidence that the sympathetic nerves innervating these organs exhibit heightened activity. Taken together, the totality of data suggests limited evidence for elevated sympathetic nerve activity in HFpEF and that any SNS perturbations that do occur are not universal to all HFpEF patients.
