[PMID: 34977088 PMCID: PMC8715937 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.785327] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2021] [Accepted: 11/23/2021] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives: A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the potential prognostic role of serum uric acid (SUA) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods: The Embase, PubMed, Web of Science and Cochrane Library databases were searched up to 5 April 2021 for relevant publications. Random effects model was used to pool data. STATA15.0 software was used to perform meta-analysis. Heterogeneity was assessed using the Cochran Q statistic (significance level of P < 0.10) and I2 statistics (significance level of 50%). Results: Ultimately, 18 publications reporting adverse events in CHF patients were included. The results indicate reveal associations between a high level of SUA and the risk of all-cause mortality (HR 2.24, 95% CI 1.49–3.37), cardiovascular mortality (HR 1.14, 95% CI 1.06–1.23), and the composite of death or cardiac events (HR 1.26, 95% CI 1.01–1.56) in CHF patients. A 1 mg/dL increase in serum uric acid led to 4% (HR 1.04, 95% CI 1.02–1.05) and 9% (HR 1.09, 95% CI 1.03–1.17) increases in the risk of all-cause mortality and the composite endpoint of death or cardiac events in CHF patients, respectively. Conclusion: Serum uric acid is positively associated with the risk of adverse events in CHF patients. This study protocol has been registered at PROSPERO as CRD42021247084 (https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO). Systematic Review Registration:https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO.

Abstract
Hypertension (HT) treatment should focus on the prevention of new-onset heart failure (HF) or its exacerbation due to the increasing trend of HF incidence in Japan. According to the SPRINT trial, strict control of blood pressure (BP) of approximately 120 mmHg suppresses the progression of HF stages A and B to a more severe stage. However, in stages C and D, the target value for BP reduction differs depending on whether HF is HF reduced ejection fraction (EF) (HFrEF) or HF preserved EF (HFpEF). Additionally, the relationship between BP control and the prognosis of HF mostly showed the J-curve phenomenon in both HFrEF and HFpEF; however, patients with HFpEF need a lower target BP value than those with HFrEF. One reason is that vascular failure is associated with the pathophysiology of HF. Therefore, it is important to utilize an antihypertensive treatment strategy that considers vascular insufficiency. In addition, the presence or absence of compelling indications is important for the selection of antihypertensive (with cardioprotective effects for HF) medications. The uptitration of cardioprotective medications such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin II type 1a receptor blockers and beta-blockers is recommended in patients with HFrEF; however, it is often not practically possible to increase the dosage. In these cases, the use of medications in combination with other medication classes is also useful. Moreover, it is also useful to properly use medications of the same class considering their onset of action and half-life in the blood. It is still unclear how cardioprotective medications are used in patients with HFrEF, especially on certain age groups. The optimal initiation and continuation of cardioprotective medications should be carefully determined.

A normal sodium diet preserves serum sodium levels during treatment of acute decompensated heart failure: A prospective, blind and randomized trial. Clin Nutr ESPEN 2019; 32:145-152. [PMID: 31221280 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2019.03.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2018] [Revised: 03/08/2019] [Accepted: 03/18/2019] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We tested the hypothesis that a normal sodium diet could be associated with preservation of serum sodium during treatment of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). METHODS AND RESULTS Forty-four patients hospitalized for ADHF were blindly randomized by using block method to a low sodium diet (LS: 3 g/day of dietary sodium chloride; n = 22, 59.5 ± 11.9 y.o., 50% males. LVEF = 30.0 ± 13.6%); and a normal sodium diet (NS: 7 g/day; n = 22, 56.4 ± 10.3 y.o., 68% males; LVEF = 27.8 ± 11.7%), and both groups were submitted to fluid restriction of 1.000 mL/day. At the 7th day of intervention 16 patients of LS group and 15 patients of NS group were assessed for difference in serum sodium. Both groups had equivalent decongestion, reflected by similar percent reduction of body weight (LS: -5.0 ± 4.7% vs NS: -4.5 ± 5.2%. p = 0.41). Reduction of the N terminal fragment of type B natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) was significant only in the NS (-1497.0 [-18843.0 - 1191.0]. p = 0.04). The LS group showed lower levels of serum sodium (135.4 ± 3.5 mmol/L) compared to the NS group (137.5 ± 1.9 mmol/L; p = 0.04). Four cases of hyponatremia were observed only in the LS group (22%). The NS group exhibited higher mean blood pressure values (79.4 ± 2.4 mmHg vs 75.5 ± 3.0 mmHg. p = 0.03), and lower heart rate (73.2 ± 1.6 bpm vs 75.5 ± 2.1 bpm. p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that a normal sodium diet, when compared to a low sodium diet, is associated with similar degrees of decongestion, but with higher levels of natremia, blood pressure and lower neurohormonal activation during ADHF treatment. TRIAL REGISTRATION clinicaltrials.gov Identifier no. NCT03722069.

[PMID: 23933579 DOI: 10.1093/eurjhf/hft132] [Citation(s) in RCA: 203] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2013] [Revised: 07/09/2013] [Accepted: 07/12/2013] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the association between serum uric acid and incident heart failure (HF)/prognosis of HF patients. METHODS AND RESULTS A systematic electronic literature search was conducted in Embase (Ovid SP, from 1974 to May 2013), Medline (Ovid SP, from 1946 to May 2013), and the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM, from 1978 to May 2013) to identify studies reporting on the association between serum uric acid and HF. Either a random effects model or a fixed effects model was used for pooling data. Five studies reporting on incident HF and 28 studies reporting on the adverse outcomes of HF patients were included. The results showed that hyperuricaemia was associated with an increased risk of incident HF [hazard ratio (HR) 1.65, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.41-1.94], and the risk of all-cause mortality (HR 2.15, 95% CI 1.64-2.83), cardiovascular mortality (HR 1.45, 95% CI 1.18-1.78), and the composite of death or cardiac events (HR 1.39, 95% CI 1.18-1.63) in HF patients. For every 1 mg/dL increase in serum uric acid, the odds of development of HF increased by 19% (HR 1.19, 95% CI 1.17-1.21), and the risk of all-cause mortality and the composite endpoint in HF patients increased by 4% (HR 1.04, 95% CI 1.02-1.06) and 28% (HR 1.28, 95% CI 0.97-1.70), respectively. Subgroup analyses supported the positive association between serum uric acid and HF. CONCLUSIONS Elevated serum uric acid is associated with an increased risk of incident HF and adverse outcomes in HF patients.
