Evaluating Mitral TEER in the Management of Moderate Secondary Mitral Regurgitation Among Heart Failure Patients. JACC. HEART FAILURE 2024:S2213-1779(24)00600-0. [PMID: 39269396 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchf.2024.08.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2024] [Revised: 07/24/2024] [Accepted: 08/06/2024] [Indexed: 09/15/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Moderate secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) represents a subgroup of heart failure (HF) patients with treatment restricted to medical therapy. Outcomes in patients with moderate SMR treated with mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) are less well known. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the safety and effectiveness of M-TEER in subjects with moderate SMR using the EXPANDed studies. METHODS One-year outcomes in subjects from the EXPANDed studies (EXPAND [A Contemporary, Prospective Study Evaluating Real-world Experience of Performance and Safety for the Next Generation of MitraClip Devices] and EXPAND G4 [A Post-Market Study Assessment of the Safety and Performance of the MitraClip G4 System] MitraClip studies) with baseline moderate SMR (2+), per echocardiographic core laboratory (ECL) assessment, were compared with subjects with baseline severe SMR (≥3+). RESULTS There were 335 subjects with moderate SMR and 525 with severe SMR at baseline per ECL review. Baseline characteristics were similar between the 2 subgroups. After treatment with M-TEER, significant MR reduction was achieved in both groups. Significant left ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling was observed through 1 year, with a >20 mL decrease in LV end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes on average in the moderate SMR group. Significant 1-year improvements in NYHA functional class (>78% NYHA functional class I or II) and quality of life (>20 points on the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire-Overall Summary) were observed in subjects with moderate SMR. Similarly, low rates of major adverse events, all-cause mortality, and HF hospitalizations were observed between the 2 subgroups through 1 year. CONCLUSIONS In the EXPANDed studies, subjects with moderate SMR treated with M-TEER had improvements similar to subjects with severe SMR in quality of life and positive LV remodeling at 1 year. Future studies are needed to evaluate if M-TEER would be beneficial for HF patients with moderate SMR.

Abstract
Novel therapies for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) are angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), etc. The purpose of this review is to determine the effects of ARNI and SGLT2i in heart failure (HF), compare the impact of SGLT2i with ARNI, and finally evaluate the current data regarding the combination of these two drugs in HF. Various trials on the respective medications have shown some significant reduction in all-cause mortality and cardiovascular (CV) death. The combination of these drugs has shown more CV benefits than monotherapy. There is emerging data about these two drugs in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). At present, there are less head-to-head comparison trials of these two drugs. This review provides insights on the current evidence, comparative efficacy, and combination therapy of ARNI and SGLT2i in managing HF, focussing on HFrEF and HFpEF.

Abstract
Background Anthracycline-mediated adverse cardiovascular events are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with cancer. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) exert multiple cardiometabolic benefits in patients with/without type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection fraction. We hypothesized that the SGLT2i dapagliflozin administered before and during doxorubicin (DOXO) therapy could prevent cardiac dysfunction and reduce pro-inflammatory pathways in preclinical models. Methods Cardiomyocytes were exposed to DOXO alone or combined with dapagliflozin (DAPA) at 10 and 100 nM for 24 h; cell viability, iATP, and Ca++ were quantified; lipid peroxidation products (malondialdehyde and 4-hydroxy 2-hexenal), NLRP3, MyD88, and cytokines were also analyzed through selective colorimetric and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods. Female C57Bl/6 mice were treated for 10 days with a saline solution or DOXO (2.17 mg/kg), DAPA (10 mg/kg), or DOXO combined with DAPA. Systemic levels of ferroptosis-related biomarkers, galectin-3, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and pro-inflammatory chemokines (IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL17-α, IL-18, IFN-γ, TNF-α, G-CSF, and GM-CSF) were quantified. After treatments, immunohistochemical staining of myocardial and renal p65/NF-kB was performed. Results DAPA exerts cytoprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties in human cardiomyocytes exposed to DOXO by reducing iATP and iCa++ levels, lipid peroxidation, NLRP-3, and MyD88 expression. Pro-inflammatory intracellular cytokines were also reduced. In preclinical models, DAPA prevented the reduction of radial and longitudinal strain and ejection fraction after 10 days of treatment with DOXO. A reduced myocardial expression of NLRP-3 and MyD-88 was seen in the DOXO-DAPA group compared to DOXO mice. Systemic levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, G-CSF, and GM-CSF were significantly reduced after treatment with DAPA. Serum levels of galectine-3 and hs-CRP were strongly enhanced in the DOXO group; on the other hand, their expression was reduced in the DAPA-DOXO group. Troponin-T, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), and N-Terminal Pro-BNP (NT-pro-BNP) were strongly reduced in the DOXO-DAPA group, revealing cardioprotective properties of SGLT2i. Mice treated with DOXO and DAPA exhibited reduced myocardial and renal NF-kB expression. Conclusion The overall picture of the study encourages the use of DAPA in the primary prevention of cardiomyopathies induced by anthracyclines in patients with cancer.

Age-specific mortality trends in heart failure over 25 years: a retrospective Danish nationwide cohort study. THE LANCET. HEALTHY LONGEVITY 2024; 5:e326-e335. [PMID: 38705151 DOI: 10.1016/s2666-7568(24)00029-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2023] [Revised: 02/10/2024] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite advances in heart failure care reducing mortality in clinical trials, it remains unclear whether real-life cohorts have had similar improvements in life expectancy across the age spectrum. We aimed to investigate how mortality trends changed in patients with heart failure over the past 25 years, stratified by age groups. METHODS Using Danish nationwide registries, we identified patients with new-onset heart failure aged 18-95 years. The 5-year all-cause mortality risk and the absolute risk difference of mortality between patients with heart failure and age-matched and sex-matched heart failure-free controls were assessed using Kaplan-Meier estimates and multivariable Cox regression models. Mortality trends were analysed across five calendar periods (1996-2000, 2001-05, 2006-10, 2011-15, and 2016-20) and three age groups (<65 years, 65-79 years, and ≥80 years). FINDINGS 194 997 patients with heart failure were included. Mortality significantly decreased from 1996-2000 (66% [95% CI 65·5-66·4]) to 2016-20 (43% [42·1-43·4]), with similar results shown in all age groups (<65 years: 35% [33·9-36·1] to 15% [14·6-16·3]; 65-79 years: 64% [63·1-64·5] to 39% [37·6-39·6]; and ≥80 years: 84% [83·1-84·3] to 73% [71·7-73·9]). Adjusted mortality rates supported these associations. The absolute risk difference declined notably in younger age groups (<65 years: 29·9% [28·8-31·0] to 12·7% [12·0-13·4] and 65-79 years: 41·1% [40·3-41·9] to 25·1% [24·4-25·8]), remaining relatively stable in those aged 80 years or older (30·6% [29·9-31·3] to 28% [27·2-28·8]). INTERPRETATION Over 25 years, there has been a consistent decrease in mortality among patients with heart failure across age groups, albeit less prominently in patients aged 80 years or older. Further insight is needed to identify effective strategies for improving disease burden in older patients with heart failure. FUNDING None.

Estimated Lifetime Cardiovascular, Kidney, and Mortality Benefits of Combination Treatment With SGLT2 Inhibitors, GLP-1 Receptor Agonists, and Nonsteroidal MRA Compared With Conventional Care in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Albuminuria. Circulation 2024; 149:450-462. [PMID: 37952217 DOI: 10.1161/circulationaha.123.067584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA), and the nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (ns-MRA) finerenone all individually reduce cardiovascular, kidney, and mortality outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes and albuminuria. However, the lifetime benefits of combination therapy with these medicines are not known. METHODS We used data from 2 SGLT2i trials (CANVAS [Canagliflozin Cardiovascular Assessment] and CREDENCE [Canagliflozin and Renal Events in Diabetes with Established Nephropathy Clinical Evaluation]), 2 ns-MRA trials (FIDELIO-DKD [Finerenone in Reducing Kidney Failure and Disease Progression in Diabetic Kidney Disease] and FIGARO-DKD [Efficacy and Safety of Finerenone in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and the Clinical Diagnosis of Diabetic Kidney Disease]), and 8 GLP-1 RA trials to estimate the relative effects of combination therapy versus conventional care (renin-angiotensin system blockade and traditional risk factor control) on cardiovascular, kidney, and mortality outcomes. Using actuarial methods, we then estimated absolute risk reductions with combination SGLT2i, GLP-1 RA, and ns-MRA in patients with type 2 diabetes and at least moderately increased albuminuria (urinary albumin:creatinine ratio ≥30 mg/g) by applying estimated combination treatment effects to participants receiving conventional care in CANVAS and CREDENCE. RESULTS Compared with conventional care, the combination of SGLT2i, GLP-1 RA, and ns-MRA was associated with a hazard ratio of 0.65 (95% CI, 0.55-0.76) for major adverse cardiovascular events (nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or cardiovascular death). The corresponding estimated absolute risk reduction over 3 years was 4.4% (95% CI, 3.0-5.7), with a number needed to treat of 23 (95% CI, 18-33). For a 50-year-old patient commencing combination therapy, estimated major adverse cardiovascular event-free survival was 21.1 years compared with 17.9 years for conventional care (3.2 years gained [95% CI, 2.1-4.3]). There were also projected gains in survival free from hospitalized heart failure (3.2 years [95% CI, 2.4-4.0]), chronic kidney disease progression (5.5 years [95% CI, 4.0-6.7]), cardiovascular death (2.2 years [95% CI, 1.2-3.0]), and all-cause death (2.4 years [95% CI, 1.4-3.4]). Attenuated but clinically relevant gains in event-free survival were observed in analyses assuming 50% additive effects of combination therapy, including for major adverse cardiovascular events (2.4 years [95% CI, 1.1-3.5]), chronic kidney disease progression (4.5 years [95% CI, 2.8-5.9]), and all-cause death (1.8 years [95% CI, 0.7-2.8]). CONCLUSIONS In patients with type 2 diabetes and at least moderately increased albuminuria, combination treatment of SGLT2i, GLP-1 RA, and ns-MRA has the potential to afford relevant gains in cardiovascular and kidney event-free and overall survival.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is associated with a high morbidity and mortality burden. In light of more recent evidence, SGLT2 inhibitors are currently recommended as first-line therapy in managing patients with HF, regardless of ejection fraction, to reduce HF burden. The DAPA-HF and DELIVER trials, and particularly, the pooled analysis of both studies, have shown that dapagliflozin significantly reduces the risk of cardiovascular death, all-cause death, total HF hospitalizations, and MACE in the whole spectrum of HF, with sustained benefits over time. Recent data have shown that the full implementation of dapagliflozin in clinical practice would translate into a robust reduction in hospitalizations for HF and death in real-life populations. Many pathophysiological mechanisms have been involved in these benefits, particularly the positive effects of dapagliflozin on reversing cardiac (atrial and ventricular) remodeling, reducing cardiac fibrosis and inflammation, and improving endothelial dysfunction. In this manuscript, we reviewed from a practical point of view the role of dapagliflozin in the management of the whole spectrum of patients with HF.

KIDNEY DISEASES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 9:326-341. [PMID: 37901712 PMCID: PMC10601939 DOI: 10.1159/000530395] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2022] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/31/2023]
Abstract
Background Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) were initially developed as glucose-lowering agents in patients with type-2 diabetes. However, available data from clinical trials and meta-analyses suggest that SGLT2i have pleiotropic benefits in reducing mortality and delaying the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in both diabetic and nondiabetic patients. Thus, we herein review the current evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of SGLT2i in patients with nondiabetic CKD and appraise the recently reported clinical trials that might facilitate the management of CKD in routine clinical practice. Summary The benefits of SGLT2i on nondiabetic CKD are multifactorial and are mediated by a combination of mechanisms. The landmark DAPA-CKD trial revealed that dapagliflozin administered with renin-angiotensin system blockade drugs reduced the risk of a sustained decline (at least 50%) in the estimated glomerular filtration rate, end-stage kidney disease, or death from cardiorenal causes. The recent EMPA-KIDNEY trial showed that empagliflozin therapy led to a lower risk of progression of kidney disease or death from cardiovascular causes. These benefits were consistent in patients with and without diabetes. Moreover, a meta-analysis of DAPA-HF and EMPEROR-Reduced trials confirmed reductions in the combined risk of cardiovascular death or worsening heart failure including composite renal endpoint. Key Messages Considering the robust data available from DAPA-CKD, EMPA-KIDNEY, and other trials such as EMPEROR-Preserved, DIAMOND that included nondiabetic patients, it may be necessary to update current guidelines to include SGLT2i as a first-line therapy for CKD and reevaluate current CKD therapeutic approaches.

Lin TK, Lee MC, Cheng YH, Ma T, Chen MC, Yang TY, Jong GP. The association between SGLT2 inhibitors and new-onset acute coronary syndrome in the elderly: a population-based longitudinal cohort study. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2023; 15:170. [PMID: 37592322 PMCID: PMC10433571 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-023-01143-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2023] [Accepted: 07/24/2023] [Indexed: 08/19/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several observational cohorts and meta-analytical studies on humans have shown that users of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) have a lower risk for new-onset acute coronary syndrome (ACS) than nonusers. However, some studies, including randomized clinical trials, reported the opposite results. This study aimed to investigate the impacts of a SGLT2i on new-onset ACS in a population. METHODS We conducted a retrospective population-based cohort study involving 56,356 subjects who received SGLT2i therapy and 112,712 patients who did not receive SGLT2i therapy between May 1, 2016 and December 31, 2019. The outcome was the risk of new-onset ACS. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals for associations between SGLT2i use and ACS risk. RESULTS A total of 670 and 1408 ACS events occurred in SGLT2i users and nonusers, respectively, during a follow-up of 3.7 years. SGLT2i use was associated with a nonsignificantly lower risk of ACS (adjusted HR 0.95, 95%confidence intervals (CI 0.87-1.04, P = 0.3218). We confirmed the robustness of these results through a propensity score 1:1 matching analysis. The results of the subgroup analysis of the subtype of the SGLT2i treatments were consistent with the main findings. An increased risk for the incidence of ACS in male and older (> 70 years) patients were also found. CONCLUSIONS In this population-based cohort study, we found that SGLT2i use is associated with a nonsignificantly decreased risk of ACS. No difference in the SGLT2i subtype was observed in subgroup analyses. However, the results of this study indicated an increased risk for the incidence of ACS in male and older (> 70 years) patients.

Tang Y, Sang H. Cost-utility analysis of add-on dapagliflozin in heart failure with preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction. ESC Heart Fail 2023. [PMID: 37290665 PMCID: PMC10375078 DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.14426] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2022] [Revised: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/10/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS The DELIVER study demonstrates a significant improvement in cardiovascular death or hospitalization for heart failure among heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).Cost-utility of the adjunct use of dapagliflozin to standard therapy among patients with HFpEF or HFmrEF remains unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS A five-state Markov mode was constructed to project health and clinical outcomes of the adjunct use of dapagliflozin to standard therapy among 65-year-old patients with HFpEF or HFmrEF. A cost-utility analysis was performed based on the DELIVER study and national statistical database. The cost and utility was inflated to 2022 by the usual discount rate of 5%. The primary outcomes were total cost and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) per patients as well as the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio. Sensitivity analyses were also applied. Over a 15 year lifetime horizon, the average cost per patient was $7245.77 and $5407.55 in the dapagliflozin group and the standard group, along with an incremental cost of $1838.22. The average QALYs per patient was 6.00 QALYs and 5.84 QALYs in the dapagliflozin group and the standard group, along with an incremental QALYs of 0.15 QALYs, resulting in the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of $11 865.33/QALY, which was below the willingness-to-pay (WTP) of $12 652.5/QALY. The univariate sensitivity analysis indicated the cardiovascular death in both group was the most sensitive variable. Probability sensitivity analysis revealed that when the WTP thresholds were $12 652.5/QALY and $37 957.5/QALY, the probabilities of being cost-effective with dapagliflozin as an add-on were 54.6% and 71.6%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS From a public healthcare system perspective, the adjunct use of dapagliflozin to standard therapy among patients with HFpEF or HFmrEF generated advantages in cost-effectiveness in China at a WTP of $12 652.5/QALY, which promoted the rational use of dapagliflozin for heart failure.

Abstract
Aims: To determine the projected benefits of dapagliflozin after an acute heart failure (HF) event in Spain. Methods: A multicenter and prospective study that included subjects aged 50 years or older consecutively admitted with HF to internal medicine departments in Spain. The projected clinical benefits of dapagliflozin were calculated via pooled analysis of the DAPA-HF and DELIVER trials. Results: A total of 5644 subjects were analyzed, of whom 79.2% were eligible for dapagliflozin, according to criteria of the DAPA-HF and DELIVER trials. Full implementation of dapagliflozin would imply a 1-year absolute risk reduction of 2.3% for death (number needed to treat = 43) and 5.7% (number needed to treat = 17) for HF rehospitalization. Conclusion: Treatment with dapagliflozin could significantly reduce HF burden in clinical practice.
