PG - 333-339 LID - 10.1097/SHK.0000000000002277 [doi] AB - Aims: We conducted a systemic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulators in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Methods : We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases for original randomized controlled trials comparing sGC stimulators with placebo in HFpEF patients. A random-effects model was applied to evaluate the mortality, quality of life, and drug-related adverse events. This meta-analysis is registered in PROSPERO under the number CRD42023457382. Results : We included five studies involving 1,600 HFpEF patients. Comprehensively, the combined risk ratio (RR) for mortality was not significant (RR [95% CI] = 1.44 [0.71 to 2.91], P = 0.31). Furthermore, there were no statistically significant differences in the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire results, including the clinical summary score (weighted mean difference [WMD] [95% CI] =0.32 [-7.38 to 8.02], P = 0.94) and the overall summary score (WMD [95% CI] = -0.87 [-8.87 to 7.14], P = 0.83). Similarly, there was no significant improvement in the 6-minute walk distance (WMD [95% CI] = -6.22 [-18.56 to 6.12], P = 0.32). In addition, drug-related adverse events were more common in patients treated with sGC stimulators (RR [95% CI] = 1.63 [1.25-2.14], P < 0.05). Conclusion : Oral sGC stimulators do not significantly improve mortality outcomes, functional capacity, and quality of life in HFpEF patients but are associated with increased drug-related adverse events. Therefore, we should consider using sGC stimulators in HFpEF patients carefully. CI - Copyright (c) 2023 by the Shock Society.
