Heart failure & cardiomyopathies

Relationship Between Cardiac Structure and Function With Renal Function Trajectory and Outcomes in Patients With Heart Failure: Insights From the PARAGON-HF Trial

Circ Heart FailPublished Secondary analysis of the PARAGON-HF randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

In the PARAGON-HF echocardiographic substudy, higher LV mass and filling pressures were independently associated with more profound kidney function decline, and higher LV mass and volume, as well as impaired right ventricular structure and function, were each associated with renal events.

Study context

Population
Patients with HFpEF in the PARAGON-HF echocardiographic substudy
Participants
1,097 patients
Comparison
Echocardiographic measures of cardiac structure and function (per 1 SD) vs renal function trajectory and renal outcomes
Primary endpoint
Annual change in eGFR and composite renal outcome (≥50% eGFR decline from baseline, end-stage renal disease or renal death)
Follow-up
Median 2.9 years
