Abstract

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω3 PUFAs) in treating elderly patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Methods A total of 108 elderly patients with HFpEF from the Geriatrics Department of our hospital were selected from September 2022 to June 2023 and randomly divided into a control group (n=54) and an observation group (n=54) by a random number table method. The control group received routine heart failure treatment, while the observation group received treatment with ω3PUFAs on this basis. The clinical efficacy was observed between two groups, as well as the cardiac function [left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), interventricular septum thickness (IVST), left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWT)], myocardial injury markers [high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-cTnT), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), amino terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)], inflammatory indicators [interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), pentraxin 3 (PTX-3)], 6 min walking distance (6MWD), activities of daily living (ADL) before and after treatment. The incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in the two groups was also observed in two groups. Results The total effective rate of the observation group was higher than the control group. After 6 months of treatment, the LVEF of the observation group was higher than the control group, LVEDD and LVPWT were lower than the control group. After 6 months of treatment, the serum levels of hs-cTnT, hs-CRP, and NT-proBNP in the observation group were lower than those in the control group. After 6 months of treatment, the levels of serum IL-6, TNF-α, and PTX-3 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group. After 6 months of treatment, the 6MWD and ADL score of the observation group were higher than those of the control group. The incidence of MACE in the observation group was lower than the control group. Conclusion The efficacy of adding ω3PUFAs to conventional heart failure treatment for elderly patients with HFpEF is confirmed. It can improve cardiac function, reduce myocardial damage, inhibit inflammatory response, enhance exercise tolerance and activities of daily living, and decrease the incidence of MACE.
