Background

The efficacy of an aggressive multiple risk factor intervention approach – optimal medical therapy (OMT) – to reduce major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with CKD has not been tested. Objective: to examine OMT goal attainment in patients with CKD on dialysis (CKD-D) and non-dialysis CKD (CKD-ND) in the ISCHEMIA-CKD trial.

Methods

OMT was recommended to all participants in ISCHEMIA-CKD. Longitudinal trajectories of individual OMT components (smoking cessation, systolic blood pressure (SBP) <140 mmHg, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol <70 mg/dL, high-intensity statin use, and aspirin use) were modeled over study follow-up. Covariate-adjusted percentage point difference in each OMT goal achieved at 24 months between CKD-D and CKD-ND groups (% difference [95% credible interval (CrI)]) was estimated.

Results

There were 415 CKD-D and 362 CKD-ND patients at baseline. CKD-D were younger (61 v 67 yrs, p<0.001) and less often diabetic (53% v 62%, p=0.023). CKD-D patients were 7.9 % (0.7%, 14.8%) more likely than CKD-ND to attain the SBP goal at 24 months (Figure). CKD-D patients were 22.7% (-33.3%, -11.4%) less likely to receive high-intensity statins. There was a steady and similar increase in proportional achievement of OMT during follow up.

Conclusion

OMT improved over time in advanced CKD-ND and CKD-D. CKD-D achieved the SBP goal more than CKD-ND, yet CKD-D were less likely to be treated with high-intensity statin. Future studies should explore systemic and patient-related barriers to attainment of OMT in this high-risk cohort.
