RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Acute Heart Failure (HF) is related to a significant hospital mortality rate and functional impairment in many patients. However, there is still a lack of studies that support the use of Beta-blockers (BB) in the management of decompensated HF. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the impact on mortality of maintaining BB in patients with decompensated HF. METHODS: A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed, using the databases PubMed, Cochrane Library, SCIELO and BVS, selecting only cohort studies and Randomized Clinical Trials (RCTs) from the last 10 years, which have been selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS: An 86% reduction in the risk of in-hospital death was found (RR=0.14, 95% CI: 0.10- 0.18) in patients with HF who maintained the use of BB during hospitalization. A second analysis found a 44% (RR=0.56, 95% CI: 0.47-0.66) lower chance of in-hospital death in the group that previously used BB. Regarding the analysis of mortality after hospital discharge, only studies that have evaluated the use of BB in HF with reduced ejection fraction pointed to a reduction in mortality. Furthermore, some articles have found a relationship between the reduction in readmissions and the use of post-discharge BB. CONCLUSION: There is still no consensus regarding the use of BB in patients hospitalized with decompensated HF. In view of the limitations of the data found in the present study, the need for more RCTs that address this topic is emphasized in order to resolve this uncertainty in the management of cardiovascular patients.
