BACKGROUND: Metformin is the most widely prescribed drug to lower glucose and has a definitive effect on the cardiovascular system. The goal of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to assess the effects of metformin on mortality and cardiac function among patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS: Relevant studies reported before October 2018 was retrieved from databases including PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Web of Science. Hazard ratio (HR) was calculated to evaluate the all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality and incidence of cardiovascular events (CV events), to figure out the level of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), creatine kinase MB (CK-MB), type B natriuretic peptide (BNP) and to compare the average level of low density lipoprotein (LDL). RESULTS: In this meta-analysis were included 40 studies comprising 1,066,408 patients. The cardiovascular mortality, all-cause mortality and incidence of CV events were lowered to adjusted HR (aHR) = 0.81, aHR = 0.67 and aHR = 0. 83 respectively after the patients with CAD were given metformin. Subgroup analysis showed that metformin reduced all-cause mortality in myocardial infarction (MI) (aHR = 0.79) and heart failure (HF) patients (aHR = 0.84), the incidence of CV events in HF (aHR = 0.83) and type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients (aHR = 0.83), but had no significant effect on MI (aHR = 0.87) and non-T2DM patients (aHR = 0.92). Metformin is superior to sulphonylurea (aHR = 0.81) in effects on lowering the incidence of CV events and in effects on patients who don't use medication. The CK-MB level in the metformin group was lower than that in the control group standard mean difference (SMD) = - 0.11). There was no significant evidence that metformin altered LVEF (MD = 2.91), BNP (MD = - 0.02) and LDL (MD = - 0.08). CONCLUSION: Metformin reduces cardiovascular mortality, all-cause mortality and CV events in CAD patients. For MI patients and CAD patients without T2DM, metformin has no significant effect of reducing the incidence of CV events. Metformin has a better effect of reducing the incidence of CV events than sulfonylureas.
背景:二甲双胍是降低血糖最广泛应用的药物,对心血管系统有明确的作用。本系统回顾和荟萃分析的目的是评估二甲双胍对冠心病(CAD)患者死亡率和心功能的影响。
方法:检索了包括 PubMed、EMBASE、Cochrane 图书馆和 Web of Science 在内的数据库中截至 2018 年 10 月之前发表的相关研究。计算风险比(HR)来评估全因死亡率、心血管死亡率和心血管事件(CV 事件)发生率,以确定左心室射血分数(LVEF)、肌酸激酶 MB(CK-MB)、B 型利钠肽(BNP)的水平,并比较低密度脂蛋白(LDL)的平均水平。
结果:本荟萃分析共纳入 40 项研究,包括 1066408 例患者。CAD 患者使用二甲双胍后,心血管死亡率、全因死亡率和 CV 事件发生率分别降低至调整后的 HR(aHR)=0.81、aHR=0.67 和 aHR=0.83。亚组分析显示,二甲双胍降低了心肌梗死(MI)(aHR=0.79)和心力衰竭(HF)(aHR=0.84)患者的全因死亡率,HF(aHR=0.83)和 2 型糖尿病(T2DM)(aHR=0.83)患者的 CV 事件发生率,但对 MI(aHR=0.87)和非 T2DM 患者(aHR=0.92)无显著影响。与磺脲类药物相比,二甲双胍在降低 CV 事件发生率和在未用药患者中的效果更优(aHR=0.81)。二甲双胍组 CK-MB 水平低于对照组的标准均数差(SMD)=-0.11。没有证据表明二甲双胍改变左心室射血分数(MD=2.91)、B 型利钠肽(MD=-0.02)和低密度脂蛋白(MD=-0.08)。
结论:二甲双胍降低 CAD 患者的心血管死亡率、全因死亡率和 CV 事件发生率。对于 MI 患者和无 T2DM 的 CAD 患者,二甲双胍降低 CV 事件发生率的效果不显著。与磺脲类药物相比,二甲双胍降低 CV 事件发生率的效果更好。
