Abstract
Key Points Patients with CKD face meaningful risk of heart failure hospitalization. Daprodustat compared with darbepoetin was associated with a nonsignificantly greater number of heart failure hospitalizations in non-dialysis patients. Background Patients with CKD are at higher risk of heart failure. The hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor daprodustat is an orally acting alternative to conventional injectable erythropoietin-stimulating agents (ESAs) for the treatment of anemia in patients with CKD. Whether daprodustat affects the risk of heart failure hospitalization is unknown. Methods The Anemia Studies in Chronic Kidney Disease: Erythropoiesis via a Novel Prolyl Hydroxylase Inhibitor Daprodustat–Dialysis (ASCEND-D; n =2964) and Anemia Studies in Chronic Kidney Disease: Erythropoiesis via a Novel Prolyl Hydroxylase Inhibitor Daprodustat–Non-Dialysis (ASCEND-ND; n =3872) trials compared daprodustat with conventional ESA in patients with anemia of CKD who did or did not require dialysis, respectively. We identified risk factors of heart failure hospitalization and assessed the effect of daprodustat compared with conventional ESA on heart failure hospitalizations. Results History of heart failure, diabetes, and higher systolic BP were independently associated with heart failure hospitalization in both trials, irrespective of treatment assignment. The number of first heart failure hospitalizations was greater in the daprodustat arm in patients not receiving dialysis (hazard ratio [HR], 1.22 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.95 to 1.56], P = 0.12) and in patients receiving dialysis (HR, 1.10 [95% CI, 0.84 to 1.45], P = 0.47), although these differences were not statistically significant. HRs in patients with and without history of heart failure were 1.37 (95% CI, 0.89 to 2.11) versus 1.08 (95% CI, 0.79 to 1.46) (P -interaction=0.36) in the ASCEND-ND trial and 1.52 (95% CI, 0.97 to 2.38) versus 0.93 (95% CI, 0.66 to 1.30) (P -interaction=0.09) in the ASCEND-D trial, respectively. In post hoc analyses, daprodustat increased total (first and recurrent) heart failure hospitalizations in participants not receiving dialysis (rate ratio, 1.46 [95% CI, 1.11 to 1.92], P = 0.007) but not in participants receiving dialysis (rate ratio, 1.01 [95% CI, 0.74 to 1.39], P = 0.93). Daprodustat did not significantly affect the risk of a composite outcome of first heart failure hospitalization or death. Conclusions A greater number of first heart failure hospitalization events occurred in patients treated with daprodustat compared with conventional ESA, but this difference did not reach statistical significance. Differences in the number of heart failure hospitalization events were most apparent in patients not receiving dialysis and in patients with history of heart failure.

Efficacy of ferric carboxymaltose in heart failure with iron deficiency: an individual patient data meta-analysis. Eur Heart J 2023; 44:5077-5091. [PMID: 37632415 PMCID: PMC10733736 DOI: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehad586] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2023] [Revised: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 08/24/2023] [Indexed: 08/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Whereas a beneficial effect of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) on symptoms and exercise capacity among patients with iron deficiency and heart failure (HF) has been consistently demonstrated, the effects of treatment on clinical events remain the subject of research. This meta-analysis aimed to characterize the effects of FCM therapy on hospitalizations and mortality. METHODS Patient-level data from randomized, placebo-controlled FCM trials including adults with HF and iron deficiency with ≥52 weeks follow-up were analysed. The co-primary efficacy endpoints were (i) composite of total/recurrent cardiovascular hospitalizations and cardiovascular death and (ii) composite of total HF hospitalizations and cardiovascular death, through 52 weeks. Key secondary endpoints included individual composite endpoint components. Event rates were analysed using a negative binomial model. Treatment-emergent adverse events were also examined. RESULTS Three FCM trials with a total of 4501 patients were included. Ferric carboxymaltose was associated with a significantly reduced risk of co-primary endpoint 1 (rate ratio 0.86; 95% confidence interval 0.75-0.98; P = .029; Cochran Q: 0.008), with a trend towards a reduction of co-primary endpoint 2 (rate ratio 0.87; 95% confidence interval 0.75-1.01; P = .076; Cochran Q: 0.024). Treatment effects appeared to result from reduced hospitalization rates, not improved survival. Treatment appeared to have a good safety profile and was well tolerated. CONCLUSIONS In iron-deficient patients with HF with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, intravenous FCM was associated with significantly reduced risk of hospital admissions for HF and cardiovascular causes, with no apparent effect on mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reduced kidney function is common among patients with heart failure. In patients with heart failure and/or kidney disease, iron deficiency is an independent predictor of adverse outcomes. In the AFFIRM-AHF trial, patients with acute heart failure with iron deficiency treated with intravenous ferric carboxymaltose demonstrated reduced risk of heart failure hospitalization, with improved quality of life. We aimed to further characterize the impact of ferric carboxymaltose among patients with coexisting kidney impairment. METHODS The double-blind, placebo-controlled AFFIRM-AHF trial randomized 1132 stabilized adults with acute heart failure (left ventricular ejection fraction <50%) and iron deficiency. Patients on dialysis were excluded. The primary end point was a composite of total heart failure hospitalizations and cardiovascular death during the 52-week follow-up period. Additional end points included cardiovascular hospitalizations, total heart failure hospitalizations, and days lost to heart failure hospitalizations or cardiovascular death. For this subgroup analysis, patients were stratified according to baseline eGFR. RESULTS Overall, 60% of patients had an eGFR <60 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 (the lower eGFR subgroup). These patients were significantly older, more likely to be female and to have ischemic heart failure, and had higher baseline serum phosphate levels and higher rates of anemia. For all end points, event rates were higher in the lower eGFR group. In the lower eGFR group, the annualized event rates for the primary composite outcome were 68.96 and 86.30 per 100 patient-years in the ferric carboxymaltose and placebo arms, respectively (rate ratio, 0.76; 95% confidence interval, 0.54 to 1.06). The treatment effect was similar in the higher eGFR subgroup (rate ratio, 0.65; 95% confidence interval, 0.42 to 1.02; Pinteraction = 0.60). A similar pattern was observed for all end points ( Pinteraction > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS In a cohort of patients with acute heart failure, left ventricular ejection fraction <50%, and iron deficiency, the safety and efficacy of ferric carboxymaltose were consistent across a range of eGFR values.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a risk factor for premature cardiovascular disease. As kidney function declines, the presence of left ventricular abnormalities increases such that by the time kidney replacement therapy is required with dialysis or kidney transplantation, more than two-thirds of patients have left ventricular hypertrophy. Historically, much research in nephrology has focussed on the structural and functional aspects of cardiac disease in CKD, particularly using echocardiography to describe these abnormalities. There is a need to translate knowledge around these imaging findings to clinical outcomes such as unplanned hospital admission with heart failure and premature cardiovascular death. Left ventricular hypertrophy and cardiac fibrosis, which are common in CKD, predispose to the clinical syndrome of heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFpEF). There is a bidirectional relationship between CKD and HFpEF, whereby CKD is a risk factor for HFpEF and CKD impacts outcomes for patients with HFpEF. There have been major improvements in outcomes for patients with heart failure and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction as a result of several large randomized controlled trials. Finding therapy for HFpEF has been more elusive, although recent data suggest that sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibition offers a novel evidence-based class of therapy that improves outcomes in HFpEF. These observations have emerged as this class of drugs has also become the standard of care for many patients with proteinuric CKD, suggesting that there is now hope for addressing the combination of HFpEF and CKD in parallel. In this review we summarize the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic strategies and treatment of HFpEF with a focus on patients with CKD.

Abstract
Introduction Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), which is a common co-morbidity in patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD), results in substantial mortality and morbidity. However, there are still no effective therapeutic drugs available for HFpEF currently. Sacubitril/valsartan has been shown to significantly improve clinical outcomes and reverse myocardial remodeling among patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The effect of sacubitril/valsartan in MHD patients with HFpEF remains unclear. Our study was designed to assess the efficacy and safety of sacubitril/valsartan in MHD patients with HFpEF. Methods A total of 247 MHD patients with HFpEF treated with sacubitril/valsartan were included in this retrospective study. Patients were followed up regularly after medication treatment. The alterations in clinical, biochemical, and echocardiographic parameters before and after taking sacubitril/valsartan were collected. In addition, the safety of the sacubitril/valsartan treatment was also assessed. Among those 247 patients with MHD, 211 patients were already in treatment with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi)/angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) before being treated with sacubitril/valsartan. We also performed an analysis to compare the differences between the 211 patients who had previously received ACEi/ARB treatment and the 36 patients who were sacubitril/valsartan naive. Results Among those 247 patients with MHD, compared with baseline levels, systolic blood pressure (BP) (149.7 ± 23.6 vs. 137.2 ± 21.0 mmHg, P < 0.001), diastolic BP (90.2 ± 16.1 vs. 84.5 ± 14.1 mmHg, P < 0.001), heart rate (83.5 ± 12.5 vs. 80.0 ± 8.7 bpm, P < 0.001), N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide precursor (NT-proBNP) [29125.0 (11474.5, 68532.0) vs. 12561.3 (4035.0, 37575.0) pg/ml, P < 0.001], and cardiac troponin I [0.044 (0.025, 0.078) vs. 0.0370 (0.020, 0.064) μg/L, P = 0.009] were markedly decreased after treatment with sacubitril/valsartan. New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class showed a notable trend of improvement after 3–12 months of follow-up. Echocardiographic parameters including left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWT) (11.8 ± 2.0 vs. 10.8 ± 1.9 mm, P < 0.001), intraventricular septal thickness in diastole (11.8 ± 2.0 vs. 11.2 ± 2.0 mm, P < 0.001), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (53.8 ± 6.9 vs. 51.2 ± 7.1 mm, P < 0.001), left atrial diameter (LAD) (40.5 ± 6.2 vs. 37.2 ± 7.2 mm, P < 0.001), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) [143.0 (111.5, 174.0) vs. 130.0 (105.0, 163.0) ml, P < 0.001], left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) [57.0 (43.0, 82.5) vs. 48.0 (38.0, 74.0) ml, P < 0.001], and pulmonary arterial systolic pressure [39.0 (30.5, 50.0) vs. 28.0 (21.0, 37.5) mmHg, P < 0.001] were significantly reduced after initiating the treatment of sacubitril/valsartan. The parameters of left ventricular diastolic function including E/A ratio [0.8 (0.7, 1.3) vs. 0.9 (0.8, 1.3), P = 0.008], maximal tricuspid regurgitation velocity [2.7 (2.5, 3.2) vs. 2.4 (2.0, 2.8) m/s, P < 0.001], septal e’wave velocity (8.0 ± 0.6 vs. 8.2 ± 0.5 cm/s, P = 0.001), lateral e’ wave velocity (9.9 ± 0.8 vs. 10.2 ± 0.7 cm/s, P < 0.001), E/e’ [8.3 (6.4, 11.8) vs. 7.2 (6.1, 8.9), P < 0.001], and left atrial volume index (37.9 ± 4.2 vs. 36.4 ± 4.1 ml/m2, P < 0.001) were significantly improved by sacubitril/valsartan. Among 211 patients who were already in treatment with ACEi/ARB and 36 patients who were sacubitril/valsartan naive, the improvement of cardiac function demonstrated by clinical outcomes and echocardiographic parameters were similar to the previous one of the 247 MHD patients with HFpEF. During the follow-up, none of the patients showed severe adverse drug reactions. Conclusion Our study suggested that sacubitril/valsartan treatment in MHD patients with HFpEF was effective and safe.

Chen T, Deng Y, Gong R. Efficacy and safety of intravenous iron with different frequencies for renal anaemia: A systematic review and meta-analysis. J Clin Pharm Ther 2022; 47:713-721. [PMID: 35167721 DOI: 10.1111/jcpt.13611] [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: 11/14/2021] [Revised: 12/27/2021] [Accepted: 01/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous iron supplementation in patients with renal anaemia. METHODS We searched the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science from their inception until 17 September 2021, for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous iron at different frequencies. The observed efficacy indicators included transfer saturation (TSAT), serum ferritin (SF) and haemoglobin (HGB). Outcomes of interest included allergies, infections, all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Of the 751 eligible studies, 7 RCTs met the inclusion criteria. The RCTs showed that there were no significant differences between the low-frequency high-dose group (1-2 doses, >200 mg/dose) and the high-frequency low-dose group (4-5 doses, ≤200 mg/dose) in the increase in TSAT (WMD = 1.90; 95% CI = -2.04 to 5.84; I2 = 0%), SF (WMD = 15.70; 95% CI = -32.20 to 70.61; I2 = 0%) and HGB (WMD = -0.00; 95% CI = -0.43 to 0.42; I2 = 0%). There was also no significant difference in the occurrence of outcome events, including allergies (RR = 1.84; 95% CI = 0.95 to 3.57; I2 = 45%), infections (RR = 0.61; 95% CI = 0.20-1.86; I2 = 0%), cardiovascular events (RR = 0.88; 95% CI = 0.67-1.15; I2 = 48%) and all-cause mortality (RR = 0.74; 95% CI = 0.40-1.35; I2 = 0%). WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION Frequencies of intravenous iron supplementation with similar doses share similar safety and efficacy in patients with renal anaemia. However, a single dose or two doses of intravenous iron are more cost-effective and patient friendly. These findings may provide evidence for the clinical application of intravenous iron supplementation for patients with renal anaemia.
