BACKGROUND
Angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitors (ARNIs), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), β-blockers (BBs), and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) are the cornerstones in treating heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is) are included in HFrEF treatment guidelines. However, the effect of SGLT-2i and the five drugs on HFrEF have not yet been systematically evaluated.
METHODS
PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from inception dates to September 23, 2022. Additional trials from previous relevant reviews and references were also included. The primary outcomes were changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter/dimension (LVEDD), left ventricular end-systolic diameter/dimension (LVESD), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), and left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV), left ventricular end-systolic volume index (LVESVI), and left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI). Secondary outcomes were New York Heart Association (NYHA) class, 6-min walking distance (6MWD), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level, and N-terminal pro-BNP (NT-proBNP) level. The effect sizes were presented as the mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence interval (CI).
RESULTS
We included 68 RCTs involving 16,425 patients. Compared with placebo, ARNI + BB + MRA + SGLT-2i was the most effective combination to improve LVEF (15.63%, 95% CI: 9.91% to 21.68%). ARNI + BB + MRA + SGLT-2i (5.83%, 95% CI: 0.53% to 11.14%) and ARNI + BB + MRA (3.83%, 95% CI: 0.72% to 6.90%) were superior to the traditional golden triangle "ACEI + BB + MRA" in improving LVEF. ACEI + BB + MRA + SGLT-2i was better than ACEI + BB + MRA (-8.05 mL/m2, 95% CI: -14.88 to -1.23 mL/m2) and ACEI + BB + SGLT-2i (-18.94 mL/m2, 95% CI: -36.97 to -0.61 mL/m2) in improving LVEDVI. ACEI + BB + MRA + SGLT-2i (-3254.21 pg/mL, 95% CI: -6242.19 to -560.47 pg/mL) was superior to ARB + BB + MRA in reducing NT-proBNP.
CONCLUSIONS
Adding SGLT-2i to ARNI/ACEI + BB + MRA is beneficial for reversing cardiac remodeling. The new quadruple drug "ARNI + BB + MRA + SGLT-2i" is superior to the golden triangle "ACEI + BB + MRA" in improving LVEF.

Meta-Analysis
IMPORTANCE
Concerns have arisen that renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers are less effective in Black patients than non-Black patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether the effects of RAS blockers on cardiovascular outcomes differ between Black patients and non-Black patients with HFrEF.
DATA SOURCES
MEDLINE and Embase databases through December 31, 2023.
STUDY SELECTION
Randomized trials investigating the effect of RAS blockers on cardiovascular outcomes in adults with HFrEF that enrolled Black and non-Black patients.
DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS
Individual-participant data were extracted following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Independent Personal Data (PRISMA-IPD) reporting guidelines. Effects were estimated using a mixed-effects model using a 1-stage approach.
MAIN OUTCOME AND MEASURE
The primary outcome was first hospitalization for HF or cardiovascular death.
RESULTS
The primary analysis, based on the 3 placebo-controlled RAS inhibitor monotherapy trials, included 8825 patients (9.9% Black). Rates of death and hospitalization for HF were substantially higher in Black than non-Black patients. The hazard ratio (HR) for RAS blockade vs placebo for the primary composite was 0.84 (95% CI, 0.69-1.03) in Black patients and 0.73 (95% CI, 0.67-0.79) in non-Black patients (P for interaction = .14). The HR for first HF hospitalization was 0.89 (95% CI, 0.70-1.13) in Black patients and 0.62 (95% CI, 0.56-0.69) in non-Black patients (P for interaction = .006). Conversely, the corresponding HRs for cardiovascular death were 0.83 (95% CI, 0.65-1.07) and 0.84 (95% CI, 0.77-0.93), respectively (P for interaction = .99). For total hospitalizations for HF and cardiovascular deaths, the corresponding rate ratios were 0.82 (95% CI, 0.66-1.02) and 0.72 (95% CI, 0.66-0.80), respectively (P for interaction = .27). The supportive analyses including the 2 trials adding an angiotensin receptor blocker to background angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor treatment (n = 16 383) gave consistent findings.
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE
The mortality benefit from RAS blockade was similar in Black and non-Black patients. Despite the smaller relative risk reduction in hospitalization for HF with RAS blockade in Black patients, the absolute benefit in Black patients was comparable with non-Black patients because of the greater incidence of this outcome in Black patients.

Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited heart disease that can lead to sudden cardiac death. Impact of genetic testing for the prognosis and treatment of patients with HCM needs to be improved. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the characteristics and outcomes associated with sarcomere genotypes in index patients with HCM.
METHODS
A systematic search was conducted in Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library up to Dec 31, 2023. Data on clinical characteristics, morphological and imaging features, outcomes and interventions were collected from published studies and pooled using a random-effects meta-analysis.
RESULTS
A total of 30 studies with 10,825 HCM index patients were included in the pooled analyses. The frequency of sarcomere genes in HCM patients was 41%. Sarcomere mutations were more frequent in women (p < 0.00001), and were associated with lower body mass index (26.1 ± 4.7 versus 27.5 ± 4.3; p = 0.003) and left ventricular ejection fraction (65.7% ± 10.1% vs. 67.1% ± 8.6%; p = 0.03), less apical hypertrophy (6.5% vs. 20.1%; p < 0.0001) and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (29.1% vs. 33.2%; p = 0.03), greater left atrial volume index (43.6 ± 21.1 ml/m vs. 37.3 ± 13.0 ml/m; p = 0.02). Higher risks of ventricular tachycardia (23.4% vs. 14.1%; p < 0.0001), syncope (18.3% vs. 10.9%; p = 0.01) and heart failure (17.3% vs. 14.6%; p = 0.002) were also associated with sarcomere mutations.
CONCLUSIONS
Sarcomere mutations are more frequent in women, and are associated with worse clinical characteristics and poor outcomes.

Mitral Regurgitation "Proportionality" in Functional Mitral Regurgitation and Outcomes After Mitral Valve Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
BACKGROUND
Certain patients with functional mitral regurgitation survive longer with fewer heart failure hospitalizations after undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER); however, clinical markers identifying who will benefit have not been established. The 'proportionality' of mitral regurgitation (MR) severity compared to left ventricular size has been hypothesized to predict clinical outcome.
METHODS
We sought to combine existing studies to compare outcomes between 'proportionate' MR and 'disproportionate' MR in patients undergoing TEER. PubMed and Medline were searched from January 2018 until May 2023. Data was extracted and synthesized by 2 independent authors using random effects models with risk ratios (RRs) for binary outcomes. The primary outcome was a combined endpoint of all-cause mortality or heart failure hospitalization (ACM/HFH). Other outcomes of interest included ACM and residual >2+ MR after TEER.
RESULTS
Six trials with a total of 1594 patients (mean age 71 years, 66% male) were included, which assessed MR proportionality using either a ratio of estimated regurgitant orifice area to left ventricular end-diastolic volume (EROA:LVEDV) or regurgitant fraction. Seven hundred and five (mean age 70 years, 75% male) were classified as proportionate MR, and 889 (mean age 72 years, 60% male) had disproportionate MR. There was no significant association between MR proportionality (by EROA:LVEDV) and ACM (RR 0.79, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.44-1.42). Proportionality did not significantly associate with ACM/HFH, though there were divergent effect signals when proportionality was measured by EROA:LVEDV (RR 0.80, 95% CI 0.45-1.44) or regurgitant fraction (RR 1.48, 95% CI 0.53-4.11). Disproportionate MR showed a greater association with residual MR > 2+ post-TEER that did not meet statistical significance (RR 1.86, 95% CI 0.77-4.49).
CONCLUSIONS
In patients undergoing TEER for functional mitral regurgitation, MR proportionality was not significantly associated with ACM/HFH, all-cause mortality, or residual MR.

Meta-Analysis Review
INTRODUCTION
Hypertension (HTN) is a co-morbidity that is commonly associated with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, it remains unclear whether treatment of hypertension in HFpEF patients is associated with improved cardiovascular outcomes.
AIM
The purpose of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the association of anti-hypertensive medical therapy with cardiovascular outcomes in patients with HFpEF.
METHODS
We performed a database search for studies reporting on the association of anti-hypertensive medications with cardiovascular outcomes and safety endpoints in patients with HFpEF. The databases searched include OVID Medline, Web of Science, and Embase. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. Secondary endpoints include cardiovascular (CV) mortality, worsening heart failure (HF), CV hospitalization, composite major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), hyperkalemia, worsening renal function, and hypotension.
RESULTS
A total of 12 studies with 14062 HFpEF participants (7010 treated with medical therapy versus 7052 treated with placebo) met inclusion criteria. Use of anti-hypertensive medications was not associated with lower all-cause mortality, CV mortality or CV hospitalization compared to treatment with placebo (OR 1.02, 95% CI 0.77-1.35; p = 0.9, OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.73-1.06; p = 0.19, OR 0.99, 95% CI 0.87-1.12; p = 0.83, OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.79-1.03; p = 0.11). Anti-hypertensive medications were not associated with lower risk of subsequent acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (OR 0.53, 95% CI 0.07-3.73; p = 0.5). Use of anti-hypertensive medications was associated with a statistically significant lower risk of MACE (OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.83-0.98; p = 0.02).
CONCLUSIONS
While treatment with anti-hypertensive medications was not associated with lower risk of all-cause mortality, their use may be associated with reduce risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with HFpEF regardless of whether they have HTN. Additional high quality studies are required to clarify this association and determine the effect based on specific classes of medications.

Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND
Despite maximal treatment, heart failure (HF) remains a major clinical challenge. Besides neurohormonal overactivation, myocardial energy homoeostasis is also impaired in HF. Trimetazidine has the potential to restore myocardial energy status by inhibiting fatty acid oxidation, concomitantly enhancing glucose oxidation. Trimetazidine is an interesting adjunct treatment, for it is safe, easy to use and comes at a low cost.
OBJECTIVE
We conducted a systematic review to evaluate all available clinical evidence on trimetazidine in HF. We searched Medline/PubMed, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL and ClinicalTrials.gov to identify relevant studies.
METHODS
Out of 213 records, we included 28 studies in the meta-analysis (containing 2552 unique patients), which almost exclusively randomised patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The studies were relatively small (median study size: N=58) and of short duration (mean follow-up: 6 months), with the majority (68%) being open label.
RESULTS
Trimetazidine in HFrEF was found to significantly reduce cardiovascular mortality (OR 0.33, 95% CI 0.21 to 0.53) and HF hospitalisations (OR 0.42, 95% CI 0.29 to 0.60). In addition, trimetazidine improved (New York Heart Association) functional class (mean difference: -0.44 (95% CI -0.49 to -0.39), 6 min walk distance (mean difference: +109 m (95% CI 105 to 114 m) and quality of life (standardised mean difference: +0.52 (95% CI 0.32 to 0.71). A similar pattern of effects was observed for both ischaemic and non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy.
CONCLUSIONS
Current evidence supports the potential role of trimetazidine in HFrEF, but this is based on multiple smaller trials of varying quality in study design. We recommend a large pragmatic randomised clinical trial to establish the definitive role of trimetazidine in the management of HFrEF.

BACKGROUND
Current imaging advancements quantify the use of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) derived T1 and T2 tissue characterization as robust indicators for cardiomyopathies, but limited literature exists on its clinical application in Takotsubo syndrome (TTS). This systematic review evaluated the T1 and T2 parametric mapping to delineate the current diagnostic and prognostic CMR imaging outcomes in TTS.
METHODS
A comprehensive literature search until October 2023 was performed on ScienceDirect, PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library by two independent reviewers adhering to the PRISMA framework. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to evaluate the methodological quality of studies.
RESULTS
Out of 198 results, 8 studies were included in this qualitative synthesis, accounting for a total population of 399 subjects (TTS = 201, controls = 175, acute myocarditis = 14, and acute regional myocardial oedema without infarction = 9). Approximately 50.4 % were TTS patients aged between 61 and 73 years, whereof, females (n = 181, 90.0 %) and apical variants (n = 180, 89.6 %) were significantly higher, and emotional stressor (n = 42; 20.9 %) was more prevalent than physical (n = 27; 13.4 %). The NOS identified 62.5 % of studies as moderate and 37.5 % as high quality. Parametric tissue mapping revealed significantly prolonged T1 and T2 relaxation times at 1.5T and 3T respectively in TTS (1053-1164 msec, 1292-1438 msec; and 56-67 msec, 60-90 msec) with higher extracellular volume (ECV) fraction (29-36 %), compared to healthy subjects (944-1211 msec, 1189-1251 msec; and 46-54 msec, 32-68 msec; 23-29 %) and myocarditis (1058 msec, 60 msec). Other significant myocardial abnormalities included increased left ventricular (LV) end-systolic and diastolic volume and reduced global longitudinal strain. Overall, myocardial oedema, altered LV mass and strain, and worse LV systolic function, with higher native T1, T2, and ECV values were consistent.
CONCLUSIONS
Future research with substantially larger clinical trials is vital to explore the CMR imaging findings in diverse TTS patient cohorts and correlate the T1 and T2 mapping outcomes with demographic/clinical covariates. CMR is a valuable imaging tool for TTS diagnosis and prognostication. T1 and T2 parametric mapping facilitates the quantification of oedema, inflammation, and myocardial injury in Takotsubo.

Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND
Ultramarathon running poses physiological challenges, impacting cardiac function. This systematic review and meta-analysis explore the acute effects of single-stage ultramarathon running on cardiac function.
METHODS
Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses recommendations were followed. Searches covered Medline, Embase, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, Web of Science, Central Cochrane, and Scopus. Random effects meta-analyses assessed left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) variables, expressed as mean differences (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).
RESULTS
Among 6972 studies, 17 were included. Post-ultramarathon reductions were found in LV end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) (-1.24; 95% CI = -1.77, -0.71 mm), LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) (-9.92; 95% CI = -15.25, -4.60 ml), LV stroke volume (LVSV) (-8.96 ml, 95% CI -13.20, -4.72 ml), LV ejection fraction (LVEF) (-3.71; 95% CI = -5.21, -2.22%), LV global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) (-1.48; 95% CI = -2.21, -0.76%), E/A (-0.30; 95% CI = -0.38, -0.22 cm/s), .E' (-1.35 cm/s, 95% CI -1.91, -0.79 cm/s), RV fractional area change (RVFAC) (-3.34, 95% CI = -5.84, -0.84%), tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) (-0.12, 95% CI = -0.22, -0.02 cm), RV global longitudinal strain (RVGLS) (-1.73, 95% CI = -2.87, -0.59%), with increases in RV end-diastolic area (RVEDA) (1.89, 95% CI = 0.63, 3.14 cm), RV Peak A' (1.32 cm/s, 95% CI 0.20, 2.44), and heart rate (18.24, 95% CI = 15.16, 21.32). No significant differences were observed in LV end-systolic diameter (LVESD), LV end-systolic volume (LVESV), RV end-diastolic diameter (RVEDD), RV Peak E', and RV Peak S'.
CONCLUSIONS
Evidence suggests immediate impairment of systolic and diastolic cardiac function post-ultramarathon running.

Moderate Aortic Valve Stenosis Is Associated With Increased Mortality Rate and Lifetime Loss: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Reconstructed Time-to-Event Data of 409 680 Patients.
BACKGROUND
The mortality risk attributable to moderate aortic stenosis (AS) remains incompletely characterized and has historically been underestimated. We aim to evaluate the association between moderate AS and all-cause death, comparing it with no/mild AS (in a general referral population and in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction).
METHODS AND RESULTS
A systematic review and pooled meta-analysis of Kaplan-Meier-derived reconstructed time-to-event data of studies published by June 2023 was conducted to evaluate survival outcomes among patients with moderate AS in comparison with individuals with no/mild AS. Ten studies were included, encompassing a total of 409 680 patients (11 527 with moderate AS and 398 153 with no/mild AS). In the overall population, the 15-year overall survival rate was 23.3% (95% CI, 19.1%-28.3%) in patients with moderate AS and 58.9% (95% CI, 58.1%-59.7%) in patients with no/mild aortic stenosis (hazard ratio [HR], 2.55 [95% CI, 2.46-2.64]; <0.001). In patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, the 10-year overall survival rate was 15.5% (95% CI, 10.0%-24.0%) in patients with moderate AS and 37.3% (95% CI, 36.2%-38.5%) in patients with no/mild AS (HR, 1.83 [95% CI, 1.69-2.0]; <0.001). In both populations (overall and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction), these differences correspond to significant lifetime loss associated with moderate AS during follow-up (4.4 years, <0.001; and 1.9 years, <0.001, respectively). A consistent pattern of elevated mortality rate associated with moderate AS in sensitivity analyses of matched studies was observed.
CONCLUSIONS
Moderate AS was associated with higher risk of death and lifetime loss compared with patients with no/mild AS.

Meta-Analysis Review
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance parametric techniques to characterize myocardial effects of anthracycline therapy in adults with normal left ventricular ejection fraction: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND
The cardiotoxic effects of anthracyclines therapy are well recognized, both in the short and long term. Echocardiography allows monitoring of cancer patients treated with this class of drugs by serial assessment of left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) as a surrogate of systolic function. However, changes in myocardial function may occur late in the process when cardiac damage is already established. Novel cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) parametric techniques, like native T1 mapping and extra-cellular volume (ECV), may detect subclinical myocardial damage in these patients, recognizing early signs of cardiotoxicity before development of overt cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) and prompting tailored therapeutic and follow-up strategies to improve outcome.
METHODS AND RESULTS
We conducted a systematic review and a meta-analysis to investigate the difference in CMR derived native T1 relaxation time and ECV values, respectively, in anthracyclines-treated cancer patients with preserved EF versus healthy controls. PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Central were searched for relevant studies. A total of 6 studies were retrieved from 1057 publications, of which, four studies with 547 patients were included in the systematic review on T1 mapping and five studies with 481 patients were included in the meta-analysis on ECV. Three out of the four included studies in the systematic review showed higher T1 mapping values in anthracyclines treated patients compared to healthy controls. The meta-analysis demonstrated no statistically significant difference in ECV values between the two groups in the main analysis (Hedges´s g =3.20, 95% CI -0.72-7.12, p =0.11, I =99%), while ECV was significantly higher in the anthracyclines-treated group when sensitivity analysis was performed.
CONCLUSIONS
Higher T1 mapping and ECV values in patients exposed to anthracyclines could represent early biomarkers of CTRCD, able to detect subclinical myocardial changes present before the development of overt myocardial dysfunction. Our results highlight the need for further studies to investigate the correlation between anthracyclines-based chemotherapy and changes in CMR mapping parameters that may guide future tailored follow-up strategies in this group of patients.
