Abstract
Background: Spironolactone is currently used in a large proportion of patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), yet its effects on cardiac structure and function in a large population has not been well established. Aims: To study the impact of spironolactone on key echocardiographic parameters in HFpEF. Methods: Individual-patient-data meta-analysis of three randomized trials (HOMAGE, ALDO-DHF, and TOPCAT) comparing spironolactone (9-12 months exposure) to placebo (or control) on the changes of left atrial volume indexed (LAVi), left ventricular mass indexed (LVMi), inter-ventricular septum (IVS) thickness, E/e' ratio, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) among patients with stage B (HOMAGE) or C (ALDO-DHF and TOPCAT) HFpEF. Analysis of covariance were used to test the effect of spironolactone on echocardiographic changes. Results: A total of 984 patients were included in this analysis: HOMAGE=452 (45.9%), ALDO-DHF=398 (40.4%), and TOPCAT=134 (13.6%). The pooled-cohort patient's median age was 71 (66-77)years and 39% were women. Median LAVi was 29 (24-35)ml/m2, LVMi 100 (84-118)g/m2, IVS thickness 12 (10-13)mm, E/e' ratio 11 (9-13), and LVEF 64 (59-69)%. Spironolactone reduced LAVi by -1.1 (-2.0 to -0.1)ml/m2, P=0.03; LVMi by -3.6 (-6.4 to -0.8)g/m2, P=0.01; IVS thickness by -0.2 (-0.3 to -0.1)mm, P=0.01; E/e' ratio by -1.3 (-2.4 to -0.2), P =0.02; and increased LVEF by 1.7 (0.8 to 2.6)%, P <0.01. No treatment-by-study heterogeneity was found except for E/e' ratio with a larger effect in ALDO-DHF and TOPCAT (interactionP<0.01). Conclusions: Spironolactone improved cardiac structure and function of patients with HFpEF.
