Abstract

Aims: Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a strong prognostic marker in patients with heart failure (HF) and reduced ejection fraction and other conditions. However, very little is known about its prognostic significance in HF with preserved ejection fraction. We examined the relationship between RDW and outcomes and the effect of sacubitril/valsartan, compared with valsartan, on RDW and clinical outcomes in PARAGON‐HF. Methods and results: PARAGON‐HF enrolled patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction of ≥45%, structural heart disease, and elevated N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP). The primary endpoint was a composite of total HF hospitalizations and cardiovascular deaths. Median RDW at randomization was 14.1% (interquartile range 13.5–15.0%). Patients with higher RDW levels were more often men and had more comorbidity, a higher heart rate and NT‐proBNP concentration, more advanced New York Heart Association class, and worse Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire scores. There was a graded relationship between quartiles of RDW at randomization and the primary endpoint, with a significantly higher risk associated with increasing RDW, even after adjustment for NT‐proBNP and other prognostic variables {Quartile 1, reference; Quartile 2, rate ratio 1.03 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.83 to 1.28]; Quartile 3, 1.25 [1.01 to 1.54]; Quartile 4, 1.70 [1.39 to 2.08]}. This association was seen for each of the secondary outcomes, including cardiovascular and all‐cause death. Compared with valsartan, sacubitril/valsartan reduced RDW at 48 weeks [mean change −0.09 (95% CI −0.15 to −0.02)]. The effect of sacubitril/valsartan vs. valsartan was not significantly modified by RDW levels at randomization. Conclusions: RDW, a routinely available and inexpensive biomarker, provides incremental prognostic information when added to established predictors. Compared with valsartan, sacubitril/valsartan led to a small reduction in RDW. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Subjects
*NEUROPEPTIDE Y, *HEART failure, *CARDIAC pacing, *RECURSIVE partitioning, CARDIOVASCULAR disease related mortality
Abstract

Aims: Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is the most abundant neuropeptide found in the heart and is released alongside norepinephrine following prolonged sympathetic activation, a process that is implicated in the pathophysiology of heart failure (HF). In patients with severely impaired left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy, higher levels of NPY measured in coronary sinus blood, are associated with poorer outcome. The aim was to examine the association of peripheral venous NPY levels and outcomes in a HF population with a range of LVEF, using a highly sensitive and specific assay. Methods and results: The association between NPY and the composite outcome of cardiovascular death or HF hospitalization, its components, and all‐cause mortality was examined using Cox regression analyses among 833 patients using a threshold of elevated NPY identified through binary recursive partitioning adjusted for prognostic variables including estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), ejection fraction and B‐type natriuretic peptide (BNP). The mean value of NPY was 25.8 ± 18.2 pg/ml. Patients with high NPY levels (≥29 pg/ml) compared with low values were older (73 ± 10 vs. 71 ± 11 years), more often male (58.5% vs. 55.6%), had higher BNP levels (583 [261–1096] vs. 440 [227–829] pg/ml), lower eGFR (46.4 ± 13.9 vs. 52.4 ± 11.7 ml/min/1.73 m2), and were more often treated with diuretics. There was no associated risk of HF hospitalization with NPY levels ≥29 vs. <29 pg/ml. Higher NPY levels were associated with a greater risk of cardiovascular and all‐cause death (adjusted hazard ratio 1.56 [95% confidence interval 1.21–2.10], p = 0.003 and 1.30 [1.04–1.62], p = 0.02, respectively). There was no associated risk of HF hospitalization with higher NPY levels. Conclusions: Peripherally measured NPY is an independent predictor of all‐cause and cardiovascular death even after adjustment for other prognostic variables, including BNP. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Aims: Blood uric acid (UA) levels are frequently elevated in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), may lead to gout and are associated with worse outcomes. Reduction in UA is desirable in HFrEF and sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors may have this effect. We aimed to examine the association between UA and outcomes, the effect of dapagliflozin according to baseline UA level, and the effect of dapagliflozin on UA in patients with HFrEF in the DAPA-HF trial. Methods and results: The association between UA and the primary composite outcome of cardiovascular death or worsening heart failure, its components, and all-cause mortality was examined using Cox regression analyses among 3119 patients using tertiles of UA, after adjustment for other prognostic variables. Change in UA from baseline over 12 months was also evaluated. Patients in tertile 3 (UA ≥6.8 mg/dl) versus tertile 1 (2), and more often treated with diuretics. Higher UA was associated with a greater risk of the primary outcome (adjusted hazard ratio tertile 3 vs. tertile 1: 1.32, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.06–1.66; p = 0.01). The risk of heart failure hospitalization and cardiovascular death increased by 7% and 6%, respectively per 1 mg/dl unit increase of UA (p = 0.04 and p = 0.07). Spline analysis revealed a linear increase in risk above a cut-off UA value of 7.09 mg/dl. Compared with placebo, dapagliflozin reduced UA by 0.84 mg/dl (95% CI −0.93 to −0.74) over 12 months (p < 0.001). Dapagliflozin improved outcomes, irrespective of baseline UA concentration. Conclusion: Uric acid remains an independent predictor of worse outcomes in a well-treated contemporary HFrEF population. Compared with placebo, dapagliflozin reduced UA and improved outcomes irrespective of UA concentration.

20. Effects of intentional weight loss in patients with obesity and heart failure: a systematic review

Author

McDowell, Kirsty, Petrie, Mark C., Raihan, Nahian Abdur, and Logue, Jennifer

Abstract

Objective: \ud Obesity is an independent risk factor for the development of heart failure, and the two commonly co‐exist. The European Society of Cardiology does not provide guidance regarding weight loss strategies in heart failure. The aim of this study was to systematically review the evidence for outcomes following intentional weight loss in patients with heart failure and obesity.\ud \ud Method: \ud A systematic review of English articles was undertaken using databases PubMed, Embase and CENTRAL. Randomized controlled trials and observational studies reporting outcomes following intentional weight loss by lifestyle, surgical or pharmacotherapy intervention in patients with obesity and heart failure were included.\ud \ud Results: \ud Four randomized controlled trials and seven observational studies were identified. Two randomized controlled trials used diet and exercise as an intervention, one used diet alone and one used a pharmacological intervention (orlistat). All but one reported significant weight loss. Two reported improvement in exercise capacity and quality of life. One reported improvement in New York Heart Association functional class in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. The observational studies, five of which reported on outcomes following bariatric surgery, despite being small, heterogeneous and high risk of bias, suggested a trend in improvement of left ventricular function, quality of life and exercise capacity following weight loss.\ud \ud Conclusion: \ud Weight loss is achievable with lifestyle intervention in those with heart failure and obesity and may result in improvements in New York Heart Association classification, quality of life and exercise capacity.

Abstract

If incidence and hospitalization rate is reduced, this could inform a paradigm shift in focus from ACE-2 amelioration to antagonism in the prevention/limitation of future ACE-2 mediated viral infections including SARS-CoV-2. 2 Dublin et al.'s study therefore infers, indirectly, that chronically increased ACE-2 does not predispose to SARS-CoV-2 infection or severity despite its high affinity for ACE-2. 1,2 The effect of chronically downregulated ACE-2 on susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 is unknown.

Reduction in UA is desirable in HFrEF and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors may have this effect. We aimed to examine the association between UA and outcomes, the effect of dapagliflozin according to baseline UA level, and the effect of dapagliflozin on UA in patients with HFrEF in the DAPA-HF trial., Methods and Results: The association between UA and the primary composite outcome of cardiovascular death or worsening heart failure, its components, and all-cause mortality was examined using Cox regression analyses among 3119 patients using tertiles of UA, after adjustment for other prognostic variables. Change in UA from baseline over 12 months was also evaluated. Patients in tertile 3 (UA ≥6.8 mg/dl) versus tertile 1 (<5.4 mg/dl) were younger (66.3 ± 10.8 vs. 68 ± 10.2 years), more often male (83.1% vs. 71.5%), had lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (58.2 ± 17.4 vs. 70.6 ± 18.7 ml/min/1.73 m 2 ), and more often treated with diuretics. Higher UA was associated with a greater risk of the primary outcome (adjusted hazard ratio tertile 3 vs. tertile 1: 1.32, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.06-1.66; p = 0.01). The risk of heart failure hospitalization and cardiovascular death increased by 7% and 6%, respectively per 1 mg/dl unit increase of UA (p = 0.04 and p = 0.07). Spline analysis revealed a linear increase in risk above a cut-off UA value of 7.09 mg/dl. Compared with placebo, dapagliflozin reduced UA by 0.84 mg/dl (95% CI -0.93 to -0.74) over 12 months (p < 0.001). Dapagliflozin improved outcomes, irrespective of baseline UA concentration., Conclusion: Uric acid remains an independent predictor of worse outcomes in a well-treated contemporary HFrEF population.
