BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term effects of spironolactone, an affordable and widely used aldosterone receptor blocker, in patients with heart failure (HF) and mild or no symptoms.
METHODS: The study is a single-blind, placebo-controlled, blinded endpoint, randomized study. Patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) classes I to II HF and left ventricular ejection fraction < 40% were randomized to spironolactone or placebo in addition to optimal therapy. The primary endpoint was the composite of death from any cause or cardiovascular hospitalization.
RESULTS: A total of 130 patients were randomized to spironolactone (n = 65) or placebo (n = 65). Patients on spironolactone had a better event-free survival for cardiovascular death or cardiovascular hospitalizations and for cardiovascular hospitalizations alone. At multivariable analysis, only spironolactone therapy, left ventricular ejection fraction and serum creatinine levels had an independent prognostic value for the combined endpoint, whereas only spironolactone therapy and serum creatinine levels had an independent prognostic value for cardiovascular hospitalizations alone.
CONCLUSIONS: Administration of spironolactone reduced the composite of death and cardiovascular hospitalization in patients with NYHA classes I to II HF. These results suggest that spironolactone could be beneficial when administered on top of optimal therapy among patients with HF and mild or no symptoms.
