PG - 21-28 AB - OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of varying dosages of Spironolactone on the short-term effectiveness and ventricular remodeling indicators in patients with Heart Failure of Ischemic Cardiomyopathy (HFIC). METHODS: A cohort of 141 HFIC patients, admitted to our hospital between October 2018 and February 2023, were enrolled for this study. Alongside the standard treatment for Chronic Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), these patients were randomly assigned to either a low-dose (20 mg/d, N=70) or a high-dose (60 mg/d, N=71) Spironolactone group. After four weeks, various parameters were assessed and compared within each group before and after the treatment. These parameters included echocardiographic indices (LVEF, LVESD, LVEDD, LVESV, and LVEDV), New York Heart Association (NYHA) cardiac function classification, ventricular remodeling markers (hs-CRP, TNF-alpha, NT-pro BNP, Gal-3, MMP-9, and TIMP-4), and the Six Minute Walk Distance (6MWD). RESULTS: Both low-dose and high-dose Spironolactone significantly improved LVEF and 6MWD in HFIC patients (P<0.05), as well as markedly reduced LVESD, LVEDD, LVESV, LVEDV, and NYHA cardiac function grades (P<0.05). The high-dose group exhibited the most pronounced improvements (P<0.05). High-dose Spironolactone was more effective in improving the clinical and total effective rate compared to the low-dose, significantly reducing treatment inefficacy (P<0.05). Both dosages significantly increased serum potassium levels within normal ranges. They also improved the expression of ventricular remodeling markers (hs-CRP, TNF-alpha, NT-pro BNP, Gal-3, MMP-9, and TIMP-4) in HFIC patients, with the high-dose group showing the most significant results (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: High-dose Spironolactone (60 mg/d) demonstrates superior efficacy over the low-dose (20 mg/d) in rapidly diminishing ventricular remodeling damage and enhancing cardiac function and clinical symptoms in HFIC patients over a short duration.
