Abstract
Systemic inflammation and coronary microvascular endothelial dysfunction are essential pathophysiological factors in heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) that support the use of statins. The pleiotropic properties of statins, such as anti-inflammatory, antihypertrophic, antifibrotic, and antioxidant effects, are generally accepted and may be beneficial in HF, especially in HFpEF. Numerous observational clinical trials have consistently shown a beneficial prognostic effect of statins in patients with HFpEF, while the results of two larger trials in patients with HFrEF have been controversial. Such differences may be related to a more pronounced impact of the pleiotropic properties of statins on the pathophysiology of HFpEF and pro-inflammatory comorbidities (arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, chronic kidney disease) that are more common in HFpEF. This review discusses the potential mechanisms of statin action that may be beneficial for patients with HFpEF, as well as clinical trials that have evaluated the statin effects on left ventricular diastolic function and clinical outcomes in patients with HFpEF.

Statin administration improves vascular function in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. J Appl Physiol (1985) 2024; 136:877-888. [PMID: 38385181 DOI: 10.1152/japplphysiol.00775.2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is characterized by impaired vascular endothelial function that may be improved by hydroxy-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase enzyme inhibition. Thus, using a parallel, double-blind, placebo-controlled design, this study evaluated the efficacy of 30-day atorvastatin administration (10 mg daily) on peripheral vascular function and biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress in 16 patients with HFpEF [Statin: n = 8, 74 ± 6 yr, ejection fraction (EF) 52-73%; Placebo: n = 8, 67 ± 9 yr, EF 56-72%]. Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and sustained-stimulus FMD (SS-FMD) during handgrip (HG) exercise, reactive hyperemia (RH), and blood flow during HG exercise were evaluated to assess conduit vessel function, microvascular function, and exercising muscle blood flow, respectively. FMD improved following statin administration (pre, 3.33 ± 2.13%; post, 5.23 ± 1.35%; P < 0.01), but was unchanged in the placebo group. Likewise, SS-FMD, quantified using the slope of changes in brachial artery diameter in response to increases in shear rate, improved following statin administration (pre: 5.31e-5 ± 3.85e-5 mm/s-1; post: 8.54e-5 ± 4.98e-5 mm/s-1; P = 0.03), with no change in the placebo group. Reactive hyperemia and exercise hyperemia responses were unchanged in both statin and placebo groups. Statin administration decreased markers of lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde, MDA) (pre, 0.652 ± 0.095; post, 0.501 ± 0.094; P = 0.04), whereas other inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers were unchanged. Together, these data provide new evidence for the efficacy of low-dose statin administration to improve brachial artery endothelium-dependent vasodilation, but not microvascular function or exercising limb blood flow, in patients with HFpEF, which may be due in part to reductions in oxidative stress.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This is the first study to investigate the impact of statin administration on vascular function and exercise hyperemia in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). In support of our hypothesis, both conventional flow-mediated dilation (FMD) testing and brachial artery vasodilation in response to sustained elevations in shear rate during handgrip exercise increased significantly in patients with HFpEF following statin administration, beneficial effects that were accompanied by a decrease in biomarkers of oxidative damage. However, contrary to our hypothesis, reactive hyperemia and exercise hyperemia were unchanged in patients with HFpEF following statin therapy. These data provide new evidence for the efficacy of low-dose statin administration to improve brachial artery endothelium-dependent vasodilation, but not microvascular reactivity or exercising muscle blood flow in patients with HFpEF, which may be due in part to reductions in oxidative stress.

Evaluation of rosuvastatin-induced QT prolongation risk using real-world data, in vitro cardiomyocyte studies, and mortality assessment. Sci Rep 2023; 13:8108. [PMID: 37208484 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-35146-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2022] [Accepted: 05/13/2023] [Indexed: 05/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Drug-induced QT prolongation is attributed to several mechanisms, including hERG channel blockage. However, the risks, mechanisms, and the effects of rosuvastatin-induced QT prolongation remain unclear. Therefore, this study assessed the risk of rosuvastatin-induced QT prolongation using (1) real-world data with two different settings, namely case-control and retrospective cohort study designs; (2) laboratory experiments using human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CM); (3) nationwide claim data for mortality risk evaluation. Real-world data showed an association between QT prolongation and the use of rosuvastatin (OR [95% CI], 1.30 [1.21-1.39]) but not for atorvastatin (OR [95% CI], 0.98 [0.89-1.07]). Rosuvastatin also affected the sodium and calcium channel activities of cardiomyocytes in vitro. However, rosuvastatin exposure was not associated with a high risk of all-cause mortality (HR [95% CI], 0.95 [0.89-1.01]). Overall, these results suggest that rosuvastatin use increased the risk of QT prolongation in real-world settings, significantly affecting the action potential of hiPSC-CMs in laboratory settings. Long-term rosuvastatin treatment was not associated with mortality. In conclusion, while our study links rosuvastatin use to potential QT prolongation and possible influence on the action potential of hiPSC-CMs, long-term use does not show increased mortality, necessitating further research for conclusive real-world applications.

Abstract
Heart failure is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality around the globe. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is primarily caused by diastolic dysfunction. Adipose tissue deposition in the heart has been previously explained in the pathogenesis of diastolic dysfunction. In this article, we aim to discuss the potential interventions that can reduce the risk of diastolic dysfunction by reducing cardiac adipose tissue. A healthy diet with reduced dietary fat content can reduce visceral adiposity and improve diastolic function. Aerobic and resistance exercises also reduce visceral and epicardial fat and ameliorate diastolic dysfunction. Some medications, include metformin, glucagon-like peptide-1 analogues, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, thiazolidinediones, sodium-glucose co-transporter-2, inhibitors, statins, ACE-Is, and ARBs, have shown different degrees of effectiveness in improving cardiac steatosis and diastolic function. Bariatric surgery has also shown promising results in this field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A list of drugs that can induce takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) was published in 2011 and 2016. The aim of the present review was to update this list. METHODS Similar to the 2011 and 2016 reviews, from April 2015 to May 2022 case reports of druginduced TCM were identified by a comprehensive search in Medline/PubMed database. The search terms were: takotsubo cardiomyopathy, tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy, stress cardiomyopathy, transientleft- ventricular ballooning syndrome, apical ballooning syndrome, ampulla cardiomyopathy OR broken heart syndrome; together with "iatrogenic", "induced by" OR "drug-induced". Registers published in English or Spanish, in humans, and with full texts were retrieved. Articles that recognized any drug associated with the development of TCM were selected. RESULTS Overall, 184 manuscripts were identified by the search. A total of 39 articles were included after an exhaustive revision. Eighteen drugs as possible triggers of TCM were identified in the current update. Of them, 3 (16.7%) have been previously identified, and 15 (83.3%) are different from the previous reports. Thus, the list of drugs as possible triggers of TCM updated in 2022 includes 72 drugs. CONCLUSION There are new case reports that link drugs with the development of TCM. The current list is principally made up of drugs that generate sympathetic overstimulation. However, some of the listed drugs do not have a clear link with sympathetic activation.

Biomed Pharmacother 2021; 135:111179.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Statins are potential drugs for decreasing risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular complications in type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients. PURPOSE To examine the efficacy of both rosuvastatin (ROSUVA) and atorvastatin (ATORVA) on LV function and markers of inflammation in T2D patients with dyslipidemia. METHODS One hundred-sixty T2D patients were assigned to receive either atorvastatin (ATORVA group, n = 80, 40 mg) or rosuvastatin (ROSUVA group, n = 80, 10 mg), daily for 6 months. Blood was collected for biochemical analysis. The prevalence of left ventricular abnormalities was determined by echocardiography and two-dimensional Speckle-Strain to assess Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS). RESULTS ROSUVA vs. ATORVA resulted in significant (p < 0.001) reduction in HbA1c % (9.13 vs 2.35%), LDL-C (22.23% vs. 14.75%), triglycerides (13.56 % vs. 8.21 %), total cholesterol (16.10 % vs. 10.81 %), atherogenic index (18.08. % vs. 10.97%), hs-CRP (23.51 % vs.18.96%), sortilin (33.33 % % vs. 15.08 %), and leptin (31.81 % vs. 23.17 %) but increased adiponectin (97.99 % vs.76.47.1 %) and HDL-C (76.47 % vs. 0.21 %) compared with baseline, respectively. Negative correlations between adiponectin and each of hs-CRP, HbA1c%, total cholesterol, LDL-C, atherogenic index and leptin were found. Also, left ventricular functions were correlated with adiponectin, lipids, HbA1c% and hs-CRP. The areas under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) showed that hs-CRP, leptin, sortlin, leptin, and adiponectin were good predictors for cardiovascular events. CONCLUSION ROSUVA is more efficacious in improving lipid profile, atherogenic index and modulation of inflammatory biomarkers in dyslipidemic T2D patients compared with ATROVA. However, both statins are equivalent as cardioprotective agents in dyslipidemic T2D patients.

Abstract
Clinical studies have indicated that 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, also known as statins, can potentially inhibit chronic heart failure. In the Stat-LVDF study, a difference was noted in terms of the effect of lipophilic pitavastatin (PTV) and hydrophilic rosuvastatin (RSV) on plasma BNP, suggesting that statin lipophilicity and pharmacokinetics change the pleiotropic effect on heart failure in humans. Therefore, we assessed the beneficial effects of PTV on hypertrophy in cardiac myocytes compared with RSV at clinically used doses. Cultured cardiomyocytes were stimulated with 30 μM phenylephrine (PE) in the presence of PTV (250 nM) or RSV (50 nM). These doses were calculated based on the maximum blood concentration of statins used in clinical situations in Japan. The results showed that PTV, but not RSV, significantly inhibits the PE-induced increase in cell size and leucine incorporation without causing cell toxicity. In addition, PTV significantly suppressed PE-induced mRNA expression of hypertrophic response genes. PE-induced ERK phosphorylation was inhibited by PTV, but not by RSV. Furthermore, PTV significantly suppressed the angiotensin-II-induced proline incorporation in primary cultured cardiac fibroblasts. In conclusion, a clinical dose of PTV was noted to directly inhibit cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and cardiac fibrosis, suggesting that lipophilic PTV can be a potential drug candidate against chronic heart failure.

Abstract
In a murine model of CA and CPR, intravenous application of hydrophilic pravastatin resulted in increased survival and neurofunctional outcome. In contrast, intravenous application of lipophilic simvastatin did not improve survival or neurofunction following CA/CPR. Pravastatin, but not simvastatin, treatment reduced post-resuscitation pulmonary edema and augmented pulmonary function. In vitro, pravastatin augmented endothelial cell function, whereas simvastatin induced endothelial cell apoptosis. This study supports previous requests for an intravenous formulation of hydrophilic statins for clinical use.
Cardiac arrest (CA) followed by cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is associated with high mortality and poor neurological outcome. We compared the effects of pravastatin and simvastatin on survival and neurofunction in a murine model of CA/CPR. Pravastatin, a hydrophilic statin, increased survival and neurofunction during a 28-day follow-up period. This therapy was associated with improved pulmonary function, reduced pulmonary edema, and increased endothelial cell function in vitro. In contrast, lipophilic simvastatin did not modulate survival but increased pulmonary edema and impaired endothelial cell function. Although pravastatin may display a therapeutic option for post-CA syndrome, the application of simvastatin may require re-evaluation.

PURPOSE HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, also termed statins, are used to reduce the risk of coronary artery disease. Two oxidatively modified low-density lipoprotein (LDL) complexes, serum amyloid A-LDL (SAA-LDL) and α1-antitrypsin-LDL (AT-LDL), serve as atherosclerotic, inflammatory, and cardiovascular risk markers. In this study, we examined the effects of hydrophilic rosuvastatin (RSV) and lipophilic pitavastatin (PTV) on these markers in patients with hypercholesterolemia. METHODS The present study was a sub-analysis of our previous STAT-LVDF study. The subjects were treated with RSV or PTV for 24weeks. Changes in glucose-lipid metabolism, serum levels of SAA-LDL and AT-LDL, and C-reactive protein (CRP) level were assessed. RESULTS In total, 53 patients were analyzed in the present study. RSV and PTV significantly decreased SAA-LDL (RSV: p=0.003, PTV: p=0.012) and AT-LDL levels (RSV: p=0.013, PTV: p=0.037). Changes in SAA-LDL level were significantly and positively correlated with those in CRP in both the RSV (r=0.549, p=0.003) and PTV (r=0.576, p=0.004) groups. Moreover, a positive correlation between changes of SAA-LDL levels and those of HbA1c levels was observed in the PTV group (r=0.442, p=0.030) but not in the RSV group (r=-0.100, p=0.611). CONCLUSIONS Both hydrophilic rosuvastatin and lipophilic pitavastatin reduce serum levels of atherosclerotic and inflammatory markers. These findings also indicate differential effects of RSV and PTV on glucose tolerance.
