  9. GEN: • African-American female in moderate respiratory distress. • VS: • BP 134/76 (Sitting 138/80), HR 65, RR 24, T 37 ºC, O2 sat 90% RA, WT 79 kg. • Skin: • Color pale and diaphoretic. • HEENT: • PERRLA lips mildly cyanotic; dentures. • Nick: • JVD at 30º (7 cm). • Lungs: • Crackles bilaterally. • Echocardiogram: • LVH reduced global left ventricular systolic function, EF 20% • Heart: • Irregularly Irregularl (s3); displaced PMI. • APD: • Soft, myldlu tender, nondistended, (+) HJR. • GENIT/RECT: • Guaiac (-). • MS/EXT: • 3+ pitting pedal edema bilaterally. • NEURO: • A & O x 3, CNs intact. No motor deficts. • ECG: • Atrial fibrillation, LVH. • Chest X-Ray: • pleural effucion, evidence of pulmonary edema.

  10. Discussion • Create a list of this patient drug related problems

  11. Signs & Symptoms What signs symptoms & other information indicate the presence and type of heart failure in this patient?

  12. Signs • Shortness of breath for the last 4 days . • Increased swelling in lower extremities. • Exertional dyspnea. • Note: • These are symptoms of Left sided-HF & listed as stage ii /iii HF (NYHA functional classification) or stage C (ACC/AHA(38)

  13. Symptoms • HR 65 (irregirreg), displaced PMI • S3 sound present.(systolic HF) • 3+ pitting pedal edema , Alveolar edema • Decreased pleural effusion. • Skin color pale & diaphoretic.

  14. Physical Examination • Labs: BNP greater than 100 pg/mL (776pg/ml). • ECG Atrial fibrillation ,and LV hypertrophy. • Nick: JVD at 30 is a result of right side HF • Lungs bilateral crackles result from CHF.

  15. Heart Failure Classification What is the classification of heart failure in this patient ? stage ii /iii systolic HF (NYHA functional classification) or stage C (ACC/AHA(38)) Stage I of diastolic HF. She has acute exacerbation of heart failure with left systolic dysfunction.

  16. Patient Problems Causes Could any of this patient problems have been caused by drug therapy ? Pioglitazonewhich is 1ST generation sulfonurea tend to exacerbate heart failure (BB C.I) in symptomatic patients & cause edema , weight gain,alsoglimperide increase CV mortality. Intake of carvediolol with b2 agonist causes antagonism and worsening of COPD..

  17. Goals For Pharmacologic Management Of HF What are the goals for pharmacologic management of HF in this patient? Slowing progression of the disease, improving quality of life, and prolonging survival reducing long-term risk for hospitalizations Alleviating fluid retention, minimizing disability. Relief symptoms of dyspnea & orthopnea . Decrease edema & swelling. Manage acute exacerbation of her HF.

  18. Diuretic Therapy What diuretic therapy should be recommended for this patient initially for acute tx of HF exacerbation? Use the same diuretic she takes furosemide as I.V.: 20-40 mg/dose, may be repeated in 1-2 hours as needed and increased by 20 mg/dose with each succeeding dose up to 1000 mg/day; usual dosing interval: 6-12 hours [ACC/AHA 2010 guidelines ]

  19. Pharmacotherapy How should this patient pharmacotherapy be adjusted for chronic management of her systolic heart failure ? Change B blocker to metoprolol succinate to prevent interaction with b2 agonist Titrate furosemide oral dose to 80 mg( max 600) Warfarin dosage should be based on INR (2-3)or prothrombin level Increase the dose of glimperide after stopping pioglitazone

  20. Non Pharmacologic Therapy What non pharmacologic therapy should be recommended for this patient with respect to her HF? Chadietary modifications such as sodium and fluid restriction & low cholesterol diet. Risk factor reduction including stopping alcohol consumption, timely immunizations, and supervised regular physical activity. Stop alcohol intake as it causes heart poisoning: bed rest & o2 therapy to enhance acute phase.

  21. Drug Plan What drugs, doses ,schedules & duration of action are best suited for the management of this patient ?

  22. Drug Plan Continue on Warfarin 2.5 mg PO 1ce/day. Continue on aspirin 81 mg po once daily. HTN management associated with heart faliure : Continue on valsartan 160 mg poBID. Continue on furosemide 40 mg poBID. Atrial fibrillation: Managed by warfarin 2.5 mg & carvedilol 3.125mg (replaced with metoprolol succinate) Dyslipidemia: Continue on atorvastatin 40 mg po 1ce daily. What non pharmacologic therapy should be recommended for this patient with respect to her HF?

  23. Drug Plan DM Type ii management: Use insulin glargine 36 U subQ daily Use insulin lispro 12 U subQ TID with meals. COPD management : Continue on albuterol MDI 2 inhalation q 4-6 hr Continue on tiotropium DPI 18 mcg, 1/day Continue on fluticasone /salmetrol DPI 250 mcg/50 mcg, 1 inhalation BID. Hypokalemia : Continue on pottasium supplements with monitoring specially with furosemide IV.

  24. Alternative Plan Add direct vasodilator as 1st line therapy for her HF b/c it has advantage in African American over ACE-I & ARB’s which c/I in this case due to presence allergy cough edema hyperkalemia & renal impairment : use IsosorbideDinitrate and hydralazine in comb : BiDilآ® No need to add digoxin for Afib as it’s managed. Can’tAddspirlonlactone as it’s adviced for stage iii HF because crcl

  25. Clinical & Laboratory Parameters What clinical & laboratory parameters are needed to evaluate the therapy for achievement of the desired therapeutic outcome and to detect and prevent adverse events? Initially monitor patient for rapid relief of symptoms related to the chief complaint of orthopnea, dyspnea , oxygenation & fatique. Monitor for adequate perfusion of vital signs: asses mental status , Cr Cl , liver function test and a stable HR btw 50-100 HR/min,BP. Monitor kidney& liver function. monitor blood glucose Fluid intake – body weight (daily)-

  26. Monitor Adverse Effect Of Drugs What clinical & laboratory parameters are needed to evaluate the therapy for achievement of the desired therapeutic outcome and to detect and prevent adverse events? Metoprololsuccinate: BP, HR baseline and after Carvedilol 3.125 mg twice 25 mg twice each dose titration, ECG Furosemide : monitor electrolyte ,hyperuricemia , nephrotoxicity & autotoxicity. Valsartan: Monitor potassium and serum creatinine

  27. information should be provided What information should be provided to the patient about medication used to treat her HF ? Furosemide taking on empty stomach Digoxin:do not discontinue without consulting prescriber. Grapefruit juice can increase the blood levels of Atorvastatin. This can increase the risk of side effects such as liver damage

  28. Information Should Be Provided What information should be provided to the patient about medication used to treat her HF ? Furosemide taking on empty stomach Digoxin:do not discontinue without consulting prescriber. Grapefruit juice can increase the blood levels of Atorvastatin. This can increase the risk of side effects such as liver damage Take Metoprolol at the same time each day, preferably with or immediately following meals Avoid taking potassium rich food. Glimepiride should be administered with breakfast or the first main meal.
