Effects of Sacubitril/Valsartan According to Natriuretic Peptide Levels in Patients Enrolled in PARADIGM-HF and PARAGON-HF.
Background: Recent trials of new heart failure (HF) treatments suggest the effect of therapy may vary by N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level.
Objectives: The authors examined the efficacy of sacubitril/valsartan according to NT-proBNP levels in patients with reduced, mildly reduced, and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) enrolled in PARADIGM-HF (Prospective Comparison of Angiotensin Receptor-Neprilysin Inhibitor with Angiotensin-Converting-Enzyme Inhibitor to Determine Impact on Global Mortality and Morbidity in Heart Failure Trial) and PARAGON-HF (Prospective Comparison of Angiotensin Receptor-Neprilysin Inhibitor with Angiotensin-Receptor Blockers Global Outcomes in HF with Preserved Ejection Fraction).
Methods: Individual patient data from PARADIGM-HF and PARAGON-HF were pooled and participants were divided into categories defined by quintiles of NT-proBNP level. The primary outcome examined was the composite of HF hospitalization or cardiovascular death.
Results: Among the 13,195 patients enrolled in both trials, 13,142 (99.6%) had a baseline NT-proBNP level measured. The rate of the primary outcome (per 100 person-years) increased with NT-proBNP levels: quintile 1, 5.9 (95% CI: 5.3-6.5); quintile 2, 7.5 (95% CI: 6.9-8.2); quintile 3, 9.0 (95% CI: 8.2-9.7); quintile 4, 12.0 (95% CI: 11.1-12.9); and quintile 5, 20.8 (95% CI: 19.6-22.2). The relative risk reduction in the primary outcome with sacubitril/valsartan was consistent across NT-proBNP levels: the HR in quintile 1 was 0.79 (95% CI: 0.65-0.96); quintile 2, 0.87 (95% CI: 0.72-1.04); quintile 3, 0.79 (95% CI: 0.66-0.93); quintile 4, 0.85 (95% CI: 0.73-0.99); and quintile 5, 0.86 (95% CI: 0.76-0.97; P for interaction = 0.86). The absolute risk reduction was greatest in NT-proBNP quintile 5; the number needed to treat for the primary outcome over the median follow-up of 31 months was 16 in quintile 5 vs 37 in quintile 1.
Conclusions: The relative risk reductions with sacubitril/valsartan were consistent irrespective of NT-proBNP level in HF patients across the range of LVEF. Consequently, the absolute risk reductions were greatest in patients with higher NT-proBNP levels. (PARADIGM-HF; NCT01035255; and PARAGON-HF; NCT01920711).
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.
