Abstract
Background: Lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) may be one of the major reasons for hesitation or failure to initiate potentially beneficial therapies in patients with heart failure (HF).
Objectives: This study sought to assess if the effects of sacubitril/valsartan (vs valsartan) on cardiovascular outcomes differ according to baseline kidney function in patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction.
Methods: The PARAGON-HF (Prospective Comparison of ARNI with ARB Global Outcomes in HF with Preserved Ejection Fraction) trial was global clinical trial of 4,796 patients with chronic HF and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥45% randomly assigned to sacubitril/valsartan or valsartan. We examined the effect of treatment on cardiovascular outcomes using Cox regression models, stratified by region, and assessed for differential treatment effects according to the baseline eGFR and ejection fraction.
Results: At randomization, mean eGFR was 67 ± 19 mL/min/1.73 m2; 1,955 (41%) participants had an eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Compared with valsartan, sacubitril/valsartan reduced the primary cardiovascular outcome (cardiovascular death and total HF hospitalizations) to a greater extent among those with lower baseline eGFR (P interaction = 0.07 for continuous eGFR), and was most pronounced for those with eGFR ≤45 mL/min/1.73 m2 (RR: 0.69; 95% CI: 0.51-0.94). The influence of eGFR on the treatment effect for cardiovascular death was nonlinear, with the most pronounced treatment effect for those with baseline eGFR <45 mL/min/1.73 m2 (HR: 0.65; 95% CI: 0.43-0.97). In further subgroup analyses according to LVEF and eGFR, the treatment effect for the primary outcome was most pronounced among those with LVEF ≤57% and eGFR ≤45 mL/min/1.73 m2 (HR: 0.66; 95% CI: 0.45-0.97).
Conclusions: In the PARAGON-HF trial, the benefits of sacubitril/valsartan to reduce the frequency of HF hospitalizations and cardiovascular death were most apparent in patients with lower baseline eGFR and lower ejection fraction.

期刊介绍:
JACC: Heart Failure publishes crucial findings on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and care of heart failure patients. The goal is to enhance understanding through timely scientific communication on disease, clinical trials, outcomes, and therapeutic advances. The Journal fosters interdisciplinary connections with neuroscience, pulmonary medicine, nephrology, electrophysiology, and surgery related to heart failure. It also covers articles on pharmacogenetics, biomarkers, and metabolomics.
