Five first-line classes of antihypertensive drugs are recommended for hypertension treatment. However, it is unclear which class should be chosen for hypertensive patients with pre-heart failure (pre-HF). The study aimed to investigate the association between antihypertensive drug classes and intensity with probability of NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) improvement and risk of cardiovascular events among pre-HF hypertensive patients. Utilizing the data from SPRINT, we included pre-HF hypertensive patients, identified by NT-proBNP ≥125 pg/mL at baseline. NT-proBNP improvement is defined as a reduction of ≥50% to a level below 125 pg/mL. A total of 3293 patients (mean age: 71.9 years; female: 43.8%) were included. NT-proBNP improvement was observed in 415 patients (12.6%) over 1-year follow up. Thiazide-type diuretics users were associated with a higher likelihood of NT-proBNP improvement (odds ratio [OR], 1.33; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05-1.70), a lower risk of HF (hazard ratio [HR], 0.54; 95% CI, 0.37-0.78) and primary composite outcome (HR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.57-0.89). ACEI/ARB users were only associated with a lower risk of primary composite outcome (HR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.63-0.99). In contrast, beta-blockers users were associated with a lower likelihood of NT-proBNP improvement (OR, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.34-0.55), while a higher risk of HF (HR, 1.79; 95% CI, 1.21-2.64) and primary composite outcome (HR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.18-1.87). These associations varied across subgroups of different drug intensities. This post hoc analysis supports the use of thiazide-type diuretics and ACEI/ARB for prevention of cardiovascular events. The use of beta-blockers is associated with an increased risk of HF and primary outcomes, which requires further validation. Association between antihypertensive drug classes and intensity with NT-proBNP improvement and long-term clinical outcome.
高血压治疗推荐使用五类一线抗高血压药物。然而,对于伴有心力衰竭前期(pre-HF)的高血压患者应选择哪类药物尚不清楚。本研究旨在探讨抗高血压药物类别和用药强度与pre-HF高血压患者NT-proBNP(N末端B型利钠肽原)改善可能性及心血管事件风险之间的关联。利用收缩压干预试验(SPRINT)的数据,我们纳入了在基线时NT-proBNP≥125 pg/mL的pre-HF高血压患者。NT-proBNP改善定义为降低≥50%至低于125 pg/mL的水平。共纳入3293例患者(平均年龄:71.9岁;女性:43.8%)。在1年的随访中,415例患者(12.6%)出现NT-proBNP改善。使用噻嗪类利尿剂的患者NT-proBNP改善的可能性更高(优势比[OR],1.33;95%置信区间[CI],1.05 - 1.70),发生心力衰竭(HF)的风险更低(风险比[HR],0.54;95% CI,0.37 - 0.78)以及发生主要复合结局的风险更低(HR,0.72;95% CI,0.57 - 0.89)。使用血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂(ACEI)/血管紧张素Ⅱ受体阻滞剂(ARB)的患者仅与主要复合结局风险较低相关(HR,0.80;95% CI,0.63 - 0.99)。相比之下,使用β受体阻滞剂的患者NT-proBNP改善的可能性较低(OR,0.43;95% CI,0.34 - 0.55),而发生HF的风险较高(HR,1.79;95% CI,1.21 - 2.64)以及发生主要复合结局的风险较高(HR,1.48;95% CI,1.18 - 1.87)。这些关联在不同药物强度的亚组中有所不同。这项事后分析支持使用噻嗪类利尿剂和ACEI/ARB预防心血管事件。使用β受体阻滞剂与HF风险及主要结局增加相关,这需要进一步验证。抗高血压药物类别和强度与NT-proBNP改善及长期临床结局之间的关联。
