Abstract
Objective
To explore outcomes of metformin (Met) as an antihyperglycemic agent in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) combined with chronic heart failure (CHF).
Methods
This article employed a meta-analysis approach to systematically search several databases. Stata 15.1 software was employed for statistical analysis.
Results
This meta-analysis encompassed 15 randomized controlled trials, involving 20,595 patients with T2DM and CHF. The results revealed that in comparison to the non-Met group, the Met group exhibited a significantly reduced risk of all-cause mortality (RR = 0.72, 95%CI: 0.60–0.87) and a notably lower risk of cardiovascular mortality (RR = 0.52, 95%CI:0.29–0.92). However, there was no significant difference in the risk of hospitalization due to heart failure (RR = 0.85, 95%CI: 0.70–1.04). Furthermore, the Met group demonstrated significant improvements in NT-proBNP levels compared to the non-Met group (WMD = −132.91, 95%CI: −173.03, −92.79). Regarding the enhancement of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction and Left Ventricular End-Diastolic Dimension levels, no statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups.
Conclusion
In individuals with T2DM and CHF, the use of Met is linked to a decreased likelihood of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular-related mortality. Furthermore, it can enhance cardiac function in CHF patients without elevating the risk of hospitalization due to heart failure, establishing its safety and potential benefits.
期刊介绍:
Well-established as a major journal in today’s rapidly advancing experimental and clinical research areas, Endocrine publishes original articles devoted to basic (including molecular, cellular and physiological studies), translational and clinical research in all the different fields of endocrinology and metabolism. Articles will be accepted based on peer-reviews, priority, and editorial decision. Invited reviews, mini-reviews and viewpoints on relevant pathophysiological and clinical topics, as well as Editorials on articles appearing in the Journal, are published. Unsolicited Editorials will be evaluated by the editorial team. Outcomes of scientific meetings, as well as guidelines and position statements, may be submitted. The Journal also considers special feature articles in the field of endocrine genetics and epigenetics, as well as articles devoted to novel methods and techniques in endocrinology.
Endocrine covers controversial, clinical endocrine issues. Meta-analyses on endocrine and metabolic topics are also accepted. Descriptions of single clinical cases and/or small patients studies are not published unless of exceptional interest. However, reports of novel imaging studies and endocrine side effects in single patients may be considered. Research letters and letters to the editor related or unrelated to recently published articles can be submitted.
Endocrine covers leading topics in endocrinology such as neuroendocrinology, pituitary and hypothalamic peptides, thyroid physiological and clinical aspects, bone and mineral metabolism and osteoporosis, obesity, lipid and energy metabolism and food intake control, insulin, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, hormones of male and female reproduction, adrenal diseases pediatric and geriatric endocrinology, endocrine hypertension and endocrine oncology.
