Does thiamine supplementation affect heart failure? A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized control trials

Heart failure (HF) is a pathophysiological condition where decreased cardiac output is observed after any structural deformity or cessation of normal function.1 HF is considered a pandemic that has affected 64.3 million people worldwide as of 2017, subsequently being a global economic burden. Prevalence of HF varies according to the region where central Europe and the Middle East have the highest number of people (1133 –1196/10,000) experiencing HF as opposed to southeast Asia and eastern Europe, where HF is nearly half prevalent as its counterpart (595/10,000 people).
