A pharmacogenetic investigation of intravenous furosemide in decompensated heart failure: a meta-analysis of three clinical trials.

ABSTRACT: We conducted a meta-analysis of pharmacogenomic substudies of three randomized trials conducted in patients with decompensated heart failure (HF) that were led by National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI)-funded HF Network to test the hypothesis that candidate genes modulate net fluid loss and weight change in patients with decompensated HF treated with a furosemide-based diuretic regimen. Although none of the genetic variants previously shown to modulate the effects of loop diuretics in healthy individuals were associated with net fluid loss after 72 h of treatment, a set of rare variants in the APOL1 gene, which codes for apolipoprotein L1 (P=0.0005 in the random effects model), was associated with this end point. Moreover, a common variant in the multidrug resistance protein-4 coding gene (ABCC4, rs17268282) was associated with weight loss with furosemide use (P=0.0001). Our results suggest that both common and rare genetic variants modulate the response to a furosemide-based diuretic regimen in patients with decompensated HF.

Project description:AimsWe sought to compare the effects of furosemide + hypertonic saline solution (HSS) treatment in patients with acute decompensated heart failure in comparison with furosemide alone and the response in a compensated state after an acute saline load with regard to serum levels of heart failure biomarkers.Methods and resultsWe enrolled 141 patients with acute decompensated heart failure with reduced ejection fraction admitted to our Internal Medicine ward from March 2017 to November 2019. A total of 73 patients were randomized to treatment with i.v. high-dose furosemide plus HSS, whereas 68 patients were randomized to i.v. high-dose furosemide alone. Patients treated with furosemide plus HSS compared with controls treated with furosemide alone showed a comparable degree of reduction in the serum levels of interleukin (IL)-6, soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2), and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in the 'between-group' analysis. Nevertheless, patients treated with high-dose furosemide + HSS showed significantly higher absolute delta values of IL-6 (2.3 ± 1.2 vs. 1.7 ± 0.9, P < 0.0005, and 2.0 ± 0.8 vs. 1.85 ± 1.1, P = 0.034), sST2 (41.2 ± 8.6 vs. 27.9 ± 7.6, P < 0.0005, and 37.1 ± 6.6 vs. 28.4 ± 6.7, P < 0.0005), high-sensitivity troponin T (0.03 ± 0.02 vs. 0.02 ± 0.01, P = 0.001, and 0.03 ± 0.02 vs. 0.02 ± 0.01, P = 0.009), NT-proBNP (7237 ± 7931 vs. 3244 ± 4159, P < 0.005, and 5381 ± 4829 vs. 4466 ± 4332, P = 0.004), and galectin-3 (15.7 ± 3.2 ng/mL vs. 11.68 ± 1.9 ng/mL, P < 0.0005, and 16.7 ± 3.9 ng/mL vs. 11.8 ± 2.4 ng/mL, P < 0.0005) than patients treated with furosemide alone. After acute saline load, patients treated with i.v. furosemide + HSS in comparison with subjects treated with furosemide alone showed a significantly lower increase in the serum concentrations of IL-6 (-0.26 ± 0.42 pg/mL vs. -1.43 ± 0.86 pg/mL, P < 0.0005), high-sensitivity troponin T (0 vs. -0.02 ± 0.02 ng/mL, P < 0.0005), sST2 (-8.5 ± 5.9 ng/mL vs. -14.6 ± 6.2 ng/mL, P < 0.0005), galectin-3 (-2.1 ± 1.5 ng/mL vs. -7.1 ± 3.6 ng/mL, P < 0.0005), and NT-proBNP (77 ± 1373 vs. -1706 ± 2259 pg/mL, P < 0.0005).ConclusionsOur findings concerning a comparable degree of reduction in the serum levels of three cardinal biomarkers indicate that a reduction in serum heart failure markers is not linked to the higher degree of congestion relief with a more rapid achievement of a clinical compensation state. This issue may have possible benefits on clinical practice concerning its therapeutic effects over and beyond the simple amelioration of clinical congestion signs and symptoms. Nevertheless, our findings of higher delta values after treatment with i.v. furosemide plus HSS indicate a possible higher efficacy by means of modulation of the stretching and fibrosis mechanisms.
