Management of renal impairment in the heart failure patient: The cardiologist perspective

Explore the prevalence, relevance, and impact of renal impairment in heart failure patients from a cardiologist's perspective. Discover insights on worsening renal function in acute heart failure, HF therapies, and bidirectional heart-kidney interactions, derived from recent clinical studies and advisory boards. Uncover the contributors to type 1 cardiorenal syndrome and the effects of venous congestion on renal outcomes.

  7. Renal impairment in HF: Cardiologist perspective • Prevalence and relevance of renal impairment in HF • Worsening renal function in acute HF • HF therapies and renal impairment

  8. Transient vs. persistent worsening renal function in AHF • ADHERE-US • 27,309 HF hosp. survivors >65 yrs • Transient WRF during hosp in 12% • Persistent WRF during hosp in 20% • Persistent WRF vs. no WRF: • - 1.73 (1.57-1.91) • Transient WRF vs. no WRF: • - 1.19 (1.05-1.35) • Persistent vs. transient WRF: • - 1.46 (1.28-1.66) 90d mortality Krishnamoorthy A et al. Am Heart J 2014;168:891-900.

  9. Interaction between worsening renal function and persistent congestion in AHF 762 HF hosp. survivors (Israel): WRF in 27% WRF: 51% persistent congestion Persistent congestion: Adjusted HR: 1.75 (1.40-2.19) Persistent WRF: Adjusted HR: 1.71 (1.31-2.35) Wattad M et al. Am J Cardiol 2015;115:932-7.

  10. Renal impairment and outcomes in heart failureSystematic review and meta-analysis Smith GL et al. J Am Coll Cardiol 2006;47:1987-96.

  11. Contributors to type 1 cardiorenal syndrome • Patient characteristics • Older age • Prior CKD/ proteinuria • Diabetes/ Obesity/ Hypertension*/ Anaemia/ Iron deficiency • Infection • Heart failure severity • Renal venous congestion • Arterial underfilling (reduced cardiac output/ perfusion) • High intra-abdominal pressure • Cachexia • Treatment related • Drugs (contrast, NSAID’s, antiobiotics, diuretics, RAAS blockers, chemotherapy) • Surgery • Large falls in systemic blood pressure (systolic, mean)* * correlated

  17. ESCAPE trial and registry (longitudinal analysis) No correlation (or weak paradoxical association) between CI and renal function • Multivariable analysis (n=575): • Natural log eGFR vs. • RAP: Beta = -0.01, P<0.001 • CI: Beta = -0.1, P=0.02

  20. Effects of venous congestion • Decreased renal perfusion pressure • Raised renal interstitial pressure increasing intratubular pressure thereby decreasing transglomerular pressure gradient • Raised intra-abdominal pressure compressing renal veins/ ureters • Sympathetic vasoconstriction/ RAAS activation • Renal parenchymal hypoxia • Proinflammatory cytokines • Decreased cardiac output through ventricular interaction

  23. Effect of venous pooling in healthy controls and patients with heart failure Normal response Diastolic ventricular interaction “..,may explain why some patients with CHF paradoxically increase SV when PCWP is lowered with vasodilators.” Atherton JJ et al. Lancet 1997;349:1720-4

  24. Change in vascular resistance during venous pooling in CHF with or without diastolic ventricular interaction “Diastolic ventricular interaction in…CHF is associated with attenuated forearm vasoconstriction or paradoxical vasodilation during LBNP.” Atherton JJ et al. Circulation 1997;96:4273-9

  25. Renal impairment in HF: Cardiologist perspective • Prevalence and relevance of renal impairment in HF • Worsening renal function in acute HF • HF therapies and renal impairment

  26. ACEI + Beta blocker + MRA NYHA 2-3 NYHA 3-4 -31% -23% -34% -24% 12 month mortality -30% -38% 60-70% RRR mortality in HFrEF Hayman S, Atherton JJ. Cardiac Failure Review 2016;2:47-50.

  27. Renal impairment in HF: Cardiologist perspective • 40-60% of patients with HF have renal impairment, which is an independent risk marker for poorer outcomes. • 25-30% of patients with acute HF develop worsening renal function, which is associated with poorer outcomes if persistent and accompanied by persistent congestion. • Assessment of volume status is critical to allow appropriate management of worsening renal function in HF. • Renal venous congestion is a common (but not only) cause of worsening renal function in acute HF. • In HFrEF with stable CKD (stage 3,4), continuation/ up-titration of RAS blockers did not worsen long-term renal function; and down-titration of RAS blockers did not improve long-term renal function.
