3. 3 Heart Failure Outlook 5 million Americans have Heart Failure 1/2 million new diagnosis of HF annually $27 Billion annual health care burden 250,000 deaths from HF annually Leading cause of hospitalization for those over 65 years old

4. 4 Heart Failure Hospitalization $14 Billion spent annually for those admitted to the hospital in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure 3.5 million hospitalizations annually 1/3 of those admitted for ADHF are re-admitted within 90 days A hospital visit for ADHF results in 60 day mortality rates between 8 and 20% Increased mortality risk persists for 6 mos.

5. 5 Heart Failure Future

6. 6 Heart Failure Mortality 250, 000 deaths annually 1/2 of those diagnosed with Heart Failure die within 5 years

8. 8 Heart Failure Risk Common Causes Ischemic heart Disease Diabetes Hypertension Valvular Heart Disease ETOH Abuse Obesity Cigarette Smoking Hyperlipidemia Physical Inactivity Sleep Apnea Less Common Causes Familial Hypertrophic CM Postpartum CM Thyroid Abnormality Connective Tissue Disorders Toxin Exposure Myocarditis Sarcoidosis Hemochromatosis Medication Exposure

9. 9 Heart Failure-A Syndrome Heart failure is a constellation of symptoms and signs produced by a complex circulatory and neuro-hormonal response to cardiac dysfunction Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome that can results from any structural or functional cardiac disorder that impairs the ability of the ventricle to fill with or eject blood.

10. 10 Clinical Classifications Backward Inability of the ventricle to eject its contents, resulting in elevated filling pressures Forward decreased cardiac output and inadequate tissue perfusion

11. 11 Clinical Classifications Left-Sided Left Ventricle is weakened or overloaded Results in pulmonary congestion Right-Sided Right Ventricle is impaired Results in systemic venous overload May occur independently from conditions affecting the right ventricle only Left-Sided failure usually is the cause of right-sided failure

12. 12 Clinical Classifications Systolic: Impaired ability of the heart to contract Weakened muscle, enlarged heart size Inability of heart to empty Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 40�45% Diastolic: inability of the heart to relax is impaired Stiff, thickened myocardial wall but normal size Inability of heart to fill LVEF ? 45%

13. 13 Clinical Classifications Acute sudden onset with associated signs and symptoms Chronic secondary to slow structural changes occurring in the stressed myocardium Acute Decompensated sudden exacerbation or onset of symptoms in chronic heart failure

14. 14 Clinical Classifications Heart Failure is a Symptomatic Disorder New York Heart Association-Functional Classification Class I: No abnormal symptoms with activity Class II: Symptoms with normal activity Class III: Marked limitation due to symptoms with less than ordinary activity Class IV: Symptoms at rest and severe limitations in functional activity

15. 15 Clinical Classifications Heart Failure is a Progressive Disorder ACC/AHA Stages of HF Stage A--Presence of risk factors for heart failure Stage B--Presence of structural heart disease but no Symptoms Stage C--Presence of structural heart disease along with signs and symptoms Stage D--Presence of structural heart diseases and advanced signs and symptoms

18. 18 HF Hospitalization 1/3 of those admitted for ADHF are re-admitted within 90 days 1/2 of all HF Hospital Re-Admissions are Avoidable A hospital visit for ADHF results in 60 day mortality rates between 8 and 20%

19. 19 Clinical Predictors A Multivariate Analysis using the ADHERE Data Identified the Following Most Significant Predictors of Mortality: Bun Systolic BP HR Age

20. 20 Seattle Heart Failure Model Age Gender Ischemic Etiology NYHA Ejection Fraction Systolic BP Cholesterol Hemoglobin % Lymphocyte Count Uric Acid Sodium Use of K-Sparing Diuretic Statin Allupurinol Diuretic

22. 22 JACHO Quality of Care Indicators DC Instructions Assessment of LV Function ACEI or ARB at Discharge Smoking Cessation Advice/Counseling

23. 23 JACHO Quality of Care Indicators Education better absorbed when the patient is stable and adapted to living with HF OPTIMIZE-HF found that DC Instructions did not have an effect on Mortality or Re-hospitalization @ 60-90 days. Missing continuity of Care in the Community Home Care Heart Failure Clinics Primary Care

28. 28 Systematic Review Literature Review 74 Trials and 30 Meta-Analysis Shared Key Elements One to One Patient Education Symptom Monitoring and Strategies for Self-Management

29. 29 Self-Management of HF Compliance with evidence based medications Adopt a low-sodium diet Reduce fat and cholesterol in diet Restrict fluid intake if indicated Stop smoking Eliminate alcohol consumption Increase activity/exercise Monitor daily weight

30. 30 Self-Management of HF AND Notify health care provider of signs and symptoms of worsening heart failure pain in jaw, neck, or chest increased SOB increased fatigue dizziness of syncope swelling in feet, ankles, legs, or abdomen palpitations tachycardia weight gain decreased exercise capacity
