Abstract:
Objective To investigate the efficacy of sacubitril/valsartan in the treatment of cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD).
Methods A comprehensive analysis of all the literature on sacubitril/valsartan therapy for CTRCD published in Pubmed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Medline, and Embase from the inception of the database up to March 2023 was conducted, summarizing the timing of drug administration, dosage, and efficacy, and further systematically summarizing the clinical studies on the use of the drug for the prevention of CTRCD.
Results After 3-12 months of treatment with sacubitril/valsartan for CTRCD, NYHA in cancer patients improved from grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ to grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ, LVEF increased by 3.0% to 37.0%, and NT-proBNP decreased by 280.0-65 498.0 pg/mL.
Conclusions The sacubitril/valsartan demonstrates efficacy in managing CTRCD and holds significant clinical utility in enhancing LVEF, GLS, and other patient indicators, thereby enabling the continuation of anti-tumor therapy and prolonging survival for cancer patients.
