It revealed that levosimendan is associated with improved cardiac function and many hemodynamic parameters&#44; but it was not associated with a significant reduction in mortality&#44; even if a non-significant trend was present&#46; Notably&#44; this is an important meta-analysis performed on levosimendan administration in patients with cardiogenic shock complicating myocardial infarction&#46;</p><p id="par0145" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Cardiogenic shock is very different from the Low Cardiac Output Syndrome &#40;LCOS&#41;&#46;

In our meta-analysis&#44; Levosimendan may eliminate the SOFA scores&#44; enhance the cardiac functions&#44; improve cardiac ejection fraction and cardiac volume of systolic and diastolic stage&#44; and improve the other hemodynamic parameters&#46; The effects could come from the levosimendan mechanism&#46; Levosimendan exhibits calcium-dependent binding to the N-terminal domain of cardiac troponin C &#40;TnC&#41; with a higher affinity at high calcium concentrations and lower affinity at low calcium concentrations&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0295"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">25</span></a> The positive inotropic effect is obtained without increasing intracellular calcium concentration or without a significant increase in myocardial oxygen demand&#44;

because re-internalization of calcium increases ATP expenditure and accounts for 30&#37; of energy consumed by the cardiomyocyte during the contraction-relaxation cycle&#46; A comparison of levosimendan and milrinone<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0315"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">29</span></a> showed that both intensify cardiac contraction&#44;

On the other hand&#44; we also found that levosimendan can improve the hemodynamic parameters&#46; Maybe the pooled analysis could have been insufficiently powered to detect a clinically relevant reduction in mortality in a general population of patients with cardiogenic shock&#46;

Abstract
Purpose

Cardiac shock is the leading cause of death in patients with acute myocardial infarction. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate whether levosimendan, compared to any type of control, is associated with improved clinical outcomes in patients with cardiogenic shock complicating myocardial infarction.

Materials and methods

The PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register, and China National Knowledge Information databases were searched for pertinent studies published up until 1 May 2016. Randomized and non-randomized clinical trials comparing levosimendan to standard therapy or placebo, in adult patients with cardiogenic shock complicating myocardial infarction, and reporting at least one outcome of interest were included. The primary outcome was mortality, whereas secondary outcomes were length of ICU stay, SOFA score, cardiac index (CI), cardiac power index (CPI), ejection fraction (EF), end-systolic volume (ESV), mean blood pressure (MBP), pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP), mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2), pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). We pooled risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) using fixed and random effects models.

Results

Thirteen studies comprising a total of 648 patients were included in the analysis. There was a nonsignificant reduction in mortality with levosimendan compared to the controls (RR=0.82 [0.65–1.01], P for effect=0.07, I2=0%). In the levosimendan group PAP and ESV were significantly reduced, while CI, CPI, EF, MBP and SvO2 were significantly increased. No differences in SOFA score, ICU days, PAOP or GFR were noted.

Conclusions

Levosimendan can improve hemodynamic parameters and cardiac function when compared with a control group, with no evidence of benefit in terms of survival.

Resumen
Objetivo

El choque cardiogénico es la principal causa de muerte en pacientes con infarto agudo de miocardio. El objetivo de este metaanálisis y revisión sistemática fue evaluar si, en comparación con cualquier tipo de control, el levosimendán se asocia a mejores efectos clínicos en pacientes con choque cardiogénico que complique un infarto de miocardio.

Materiales y métodos

Se realizaron búsquedas en las bases de datos PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register y China National Knowledge Information para encontrar estudios pertinentes publicados hasta el 1 de mayo de 2016. Se incluyeron ensayos clínicos aleatorizados y no aleatorizados en los que se comparase el levosimendán con el tratamiento estándar o con un placebo en pacientes adultos con choque cardiogénico que complicase un infarto de miocardio, y que informasen sobre al menos una variable de interés. La variable principal fue la mortalidad, mientras que las variables secundarias fueron la duración del ingreso en la UCI, la puntuación SOFA, el índice cardíaco (IC), el índice de potencia cardíaca (IPC), la fracción de eyección (FE), el volumen sistólico final (VSF), la presión arterial media (PAM), la presión arterial pulmonar (PAP), la saturación venosa mixta de oxígeno (SvO2), la presión de oclusión de la arteria pulmonar (POAP) y la tasa de filtración glomerular (TFG). Agrupamos la razón de riesgos (RR) y el intervalo de confianza (IC) del 95% por medio de modelos de efectos fijos y aleatorios.

Resultados

Se incluyeron en el análisis 13 estudios que incluyeron un total de 648pacientes. Se observó una reducción no significativa de la mortalidad con levosimendán en comparación con los controles (RR=0,82 [0,65-1,01], p para efecto=0,07, I2=0%). En el grupo de tratamiento con levosimendán, la PAP y el VSF se vieron reducidos de forma significativa, mientras que el IC, el IPC, la FE, la PAM y la SvO2 aumentaron de forma significativa. No se observaron diferencias en la puntuación SOFA, los días de ingreso en la UCI, la POAP ni la TFG.

Conclusiones

El levosimendán puede mejorar los parámetros hemodinámicos y la función cardíaca en comparación con un grupo de control, si bien no existen evidencias de beneficios en términos de supervivencia.

Introduction

Cardiogenic shock complicates approximately 5% of myocardial infarctions. Consequent marked hypotension, reduced oxygen supply, and inadequate perfusion of various organs can result in multiple organ dysfunction. Despite utilization of an early revascularization strategy and advancing patients’ care, cardiogenic shock remains the leading cause of death in this population with high hospital mortality rate, approaching 50%.1,2

In cardiogenic shock complicating myocardial infarction early revascularization of the occluded vessel with a restoration of coronary cardiac blood flow preferably by means of PCI is the first line strategy. A supportive approach is to give mechanical support, such as Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO).3 For inotropic support in patients with cardiogenic shock the drugs of choice is dobutamine. However, mortality of such patients in cardiogenic shock remains high. Further studies are needed to evaluate new therapeutic approaches to decrease mortality and morbidity of these patients.

Levosimendan is a relatively novel inotropic agent, which acts on cardiac troponin C, stabilizing the bound Ca2+, prolonging the interaction between actin and myosin, and thus enhances cardiac contractility.4 It is a calcium-sensitizer agent5 with vasodilatory properties,6 exerting beneficial effects particularly in cardiac surgery, a setting where it recently showed a survival benefit when compared with dobutamine.7

More recently, a number of clinical trials have now been completed. Therefore, the principal objective of this study was to critically review the literature to evaluate whether levosimendan compared to standard therapy, in patients with cardiogenic shock complicating myocardial infarction, is associated with improved clinical outcomes, in particular survival, and hemodynamics.

Materials and methodsSearch strategy

Appropriate studies were independently searched in BioMedCentral, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of clinical trials, and Chinese database (CNKI, WANGFANG DATA, and CQVIP) by 2 investigators. The full PubMed search strategy is available in the Appendix A. Supplementary data. No language restriction was enforced. The search was finalized on 1st May 2016. We decided to use a basic search strategy in order to make the strategy as sensitive as possible.

Abstracts from recent international conferences were searched for additional relevant studies. In addition, we use backward snowballing (i.e. scanning of references of retrieved articles and pertinent reviews). The search strategy aimed to include any controlled study with levosimendan administration in cardiogenic shock complicating myocardial infarction in adult humans.

Study selection

Two authors reviewed all abstracts to identify potentially eligible controlled trials. If it was possible, full text articles were retrieved and reviewed to determine whether they met the eligibility criteria. If the complete paper was not available in the database, the corresponding author was contacted to get further material. Disagreements between reviewers were resolved by consensus.

The inclusion criteria was reports of controlled trials, comparing levosimendan to any other therapy for cardiogenic shock in adult human and reported at least one outcome of interest. The primary outcome was mortality, whereas secondary outcomes were length of ICU stay, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, cardiac index (CI), cardiac powder index (CPI), ejection fraction (EF), end systolic volume (ESV), mean blood pressure (MBP), pulmonary atrial pressure (PAP), mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP). The time points of the collection of these variables should follow what reported by authors. There were no restrictions on time or dose of administration. The exclusion criteria were: duplicate publications, pediatric studies, and non-intravenous administration of levosimendan.

Data abstraction and study characteristics

Two investigators abstracted baseline, procedural, and outcome data by using a data-recording table developed for this purpose. Data collected included: patient baseline characteristics, study design, sample size, clinical setting, study definition of cardiogenic shock, details of levosimendan and control regimens, and clinical outcomes.

Internal validity and risk of bias assessment

The internal validity of each randomized controlled trial (RCT) was critically assessed for bias as reported by the Cochrane Collaboration methods.8 Each report was evaluated for risk of bias associated with the random sequence generation method, allocation concealment, blinding of participants and personnel, completeness of outcome data, free of selective reporting, and other bias. The overall risk of bias was presented as low, unclear, or high.

The internal validity of each non-randomized controlled trial (nRCT) was critically assessed for bias as reported by the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale Risk assessment for case-control studies.9 Each article was evaluated for risk of bias associated with selection, comparability, and exposure. We rated the risk of bias by applying a rating of star number to determine whether adequate measures were taken to protect against each potential source of bias in each study. The overall risk of bias was presented as star number.

Data analysis and synthesis

To analyze the binary outcome, we calculated risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval. Mean difference (MD) and 95% confidence interval were computed for continuous variables. Furthermore, we compute numbers needed to be treated. Heterogeneity was measured using the Cochrane Q test, quantified with I2 statistic (I2>25% was defined as threshold indicating significant heterogeneity), and Tau-square (Tau2). The primary analysis was conducted by means of the Peto fixed effects method when I2<25% and with the random effects model when I2>25%. Publication bias was evaluated by visually inspecting funnel plot of the primary outcome.

Statistical significance was set at the 2-tailed 0.05 levels for hypothesis testing. Data analysis was performed using Review Manager (RevMan, version 5.3. Copenhagen: The Nordic Cochrane Centre, The Cochrane Collaboration, 2014).

Levosimendan in patients with cardiogenic shock: mortality

The use of levosimendan in patients with cardiogenic shock was associated with a non significant reduction in mortality at the longest follow-up available (68/187 [36%] in the levosimendan group and 121/270 [53%] in the control group, RR 0.82[0.65,1.01], P for effect=0.07, P for heterogeneity=0.88, I2=0%, Tau2 0.00, numbers needed to treat=11; Appendix A.

Discussion

We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled trials and nRCTs to evaluate the effect of levosimendan compared with standard therapies or placebo on survival and hemodynamic parameters in patients presenting cardiogenic shock complicating myocardial infarction. It revealed that levosimendan is associated with improved cardiac function and many hemodynamic parameters, but it was not associated with a significant reduction in mortality, even if a non-significant trend was present. Notably, this is an important meta-analysis performed on levosimendan administration in patients with cardiogenic shock complicating myocardial infarction.

Cardiogenic shock is very different from the Low Cardiac Output Syndrome (LCOS). In many studies and meta-analyses, levosimendan was proved more effective than standard therapies in the patients with LCOS.23–25 The most important difference between cardiogenic shock and LCOS is the reduction in cardiac pump performance with hypo-perfusion to vital organs. Maybe the effect of Levosimendan could benefit more the population of LCOS than cardiogenic shock.

Levosimendan is a calcium enhancer with calcium-sensitizing activity. C-AMP independent and ATP neutral induce the improvement in calcium sensitivity of cardiac muscle cell.25 In 2003, Delle-Karth and co-worker26 published the successful use of levosimendan in patients with cardiogenic shock for the first time. In our meta-analysis, Levosimendan may eliminate the SOFA scores, enhance the cardiac functions, improve cardiac ejection fraction and cardiac volume of systolic and diastolic stage, and improve the other hemodynamic parameters. The effects could come from the levosimendan mechanism. Levosimendan exhibits calcium-dependent binding to the N-terminal domain of cardiac troponin C (TnC) with a higher affinity at high calcium concentrations and lower affinity at low calcium concentrations.25 The positive inotropic effect is obtained without increasing intracellular calcium concentration or without a significant increase in myocardial oxygen demand, usually seen with other inotropes.27,28 This implies that less energy is utilized by the cardiomyocytes, because re-internalization of calcium increases ATP expenditure and accounts for 30% of energy consumed by the cardiomyocyte during the contraction-relaxation cycle. A comparison of levosimendan and milrinone29 showed that both intensify cardiac contraction, but milrinone increased oxygen consumption, levosimendan did not. In other studies, levosimendan was also shown to be superior to dobutamine in term of myocardial efficiency.30,31

Again, we found that Levosimendan may improve the hemodynamic parameters. Several clinical observations reveal that levosimendan improve hemodynamics even in patients with cardiogenic shock if it is combined with catecholamines to maintain adequate perfusion pressure.32,33

Levosimendan was associated with a non-significant improve in survival. This may suggest that use of levosimendan in patients with cardiogenic shock complicating myocardial infarction does not offer a mortality benefit or, more probably, that too few patients have been randomized so far to reach powered conclusions on mortality. On the other hand, we also found that levosimendan can improve the hemodynamic parameters. Maybe the pooled analysis could have been insufficiently powered to detect a clinically relevant reduction in mortality in a general population of patients with cardiogenic shock. Perhaps, further larger high-quality RCTs are warranted to reach conclusions on the topic.

This meta-analysis has strengths and limitations. The methodological quality of the studies included in this meta-analysis was not optimal, with only one trial presenting low risk of bias.11 Not all trials reported all hemodynamic parameters, so these estimations are drawn from small numbers of measurements and should therefore be interpreted with caution. Unfortunately, there are only 5 randomized trials analyzing the effect of levosimendan in patients with cardiogenic shock. Ideally, a large randomized controlled trial on the lookout for the eventual beneficial effects of levosimendan in cardiogenic shock setting should be performed.

Conclusion

In summary, this systematic review of 13 clinical trials found that there was no evidence of survival benefit when levosimendan was compared to control therapies. On the other hand, levosimendan was associated with an improvement in hemodynamics and cardiac function. Further high quality studies on levosimendan for patients with cardiogenic shock complicating myocardial infarction are needed.
