摘要
Objective:To explore the cardioprotective effects of astragaloside Ⅳ(AS-Ⅳ) in heart failure(HF).Methods:PubMed,Excerpta Medica Database(EMBASE),Cochrane Library,Web of Science,Wanfang Database,Chinese Bio-medical Literature and Retrieval System(SinoMed),China Science and Technology Journal Database(VIP),and China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI) were searched from inception to November 1,2021for animal experiments to explore AS-Ⅳ in treating HF in rats or mice. The left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),left ventricular fractional shortening(LVFS),left ventricular end-diastolic dimension(LVEDD),left ventricular endsystolic dimension(LVESD),left ventricular weight-to-body weight(LVW/BW) and B-type brain natriuretic peptide(BNP) were recorded.The qualities of included studies were assessed by the risk of bias according to the Cochrane handbook.Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 13.0.Results:Twenty-one articles involving 558 animals were considered.Compared with the control group,AS-Ⅳ improved cardiac function,specifically by increasing LVEF(mean difference(MD)=6.97,95% confidence interval(CI)=5.92 to 8.03,P<0.05;fixed effects model) and LVFS(MD=7.01,95% CI=5.84 to 8.81,P<0.05;fixed effects model),and decreasing LVEDD(MD=-4.24,95% CI=-4.74to-3.76,P<0.05;random effects model) and LVESD(MD-4.18,95% CI=-5.26 to-3.10,P<0.05;fixed effects model).In addition,the BNP and LVW/BW levels were decreased in the AS-Ⅳ treatment group(MD=-9.18,95%CI=-14.13 to-4.22,P<0.05;random effects model;MD=-1.91,95% CI=-2.42 to-1.39,P<0.05;random effects model).Conclusions:AS-Ⅳ is a promising therapeutic agent for HF.However,this conclusion needs to be clinically validated in the future.
