IRBESARTAN IN THE TREATMENT OF HEART FAILURE. IRBESARTAN. What is Irbesartan? Irbesartan is a selective non-peptide antagonist of angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1). Irbesartan inhibits the action of angiotensin II, which acts through the binding to the AT1 receptor.

  1. IRBESARTAN IN THE TREATMENT OF HEART FAILURE

  2. IRBESARTAN • What is Irbesartan? • Irbesartan is a selective non-peptide antagonist of angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1). Irbesartan inhibits the action of angiotensin II, which acts through the binding to the AT1 receptor. • Indicated for the treatment of hypertension • Irbesartan may also delay progression of diabetic nephropathy • Also indicated for the reduction of renal disease progression in patients with type 2 diabetes, hypertension and microalbuminuria (>30 mg/24 hours) or proteinuria (>900 mg/24 hours). • It has also been shown in the treatment of heart failure.

  3. IRBESARTAN

  4. ROLE PLAYED BY THE ACTIVATION OF AT1 RECEPTORS • Activation of AT1 receptors plays the crucial role in the development of: • Hypertension • Left ventricular hypertrophy • Progression of lipid disorders • Impairment of renal function Therefore, angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonists could be used as a new therapeutic option in treatment of hypertension which may lead to complications such as Hypertensive cardiomyopathy( Heart failure due to chronically high blood pressure).

  5. CAUSES OF HEART FAILURE

  6. ACTIONS OF AT 1 ANTAGONISTS • Vasoconstriction • Central and peripheral sympathetic stimulation • Release of aldosterone and adrenaline from adrenals • Renal actions promoting salt and water reabsorptions • Central actions like thirst • Vasopressin release • Growth promoting actions on heart and blood vessels

  7. ADVANTAGES OF AT 1 ANTAGONISTS • Oral bioavailability of this AT1 antagonist is relatively high. • long lasting blood pressure lowering action • possibility of taking it once a day

  8. REASONS WHY IRBESARTAN (ANGIOTENSIN ANTAGONIST) IS USED OVER ACE INHIBITORS • They do not interfere with degradation of bradykinin • They result in more complete inhibition of AT 1 receptor activation • They result in indirect AT II receptor activation . Due to blockade of AT1 receptor mediated feedback inhibition- more A II is produced which acts on AT 2 receptor that remains unblocked. ACE inhibitors result in depression of both AT 1 and AT 2 activation. Activation of the renin-angiotensin system in patients with heart failure causes vasoconstriction and retention of sodium and water. • Despite the known benefits of ACE inhibitors and, more recently, beta-adrenergic blocking agents, morbidity and mortality remain unacceptably high in patients treated with ACE inhibitors. • AT1 receptor antagonists represent an alternative therapy that may provide more complete blockade of an activated renin-angiotensin system while avoiding some of the detrimental side effects of ACE inhibitors • Irbesartan is a new, highly selective nonpeptide antagonist of AT1 receptors with pharmacokinetic properties that favor once-per-day dosing.

  9. HAEMODYNAMIC EFFECTS OF IRBESARTAN Reduction of: • Pulmonary Capilary Wedge Pressure(PCWP) • Mean pulmonary arterial pressure (MPAP) • Mean systemic arterial pressure (MSAP) • No dose related effect on heart rate • Slight increase in Cardiac Index after 12 weeks of administration of irbesartan • Tendency for LVEF to increase as a function of dose of irbesartan

  10. THE PHARMACOKINETIC AND PHARMACODYNAMIC OF IRBESARTAN IN HEART FAILURE • Mainly through oral and i.v. administration, the pharmacokinetics of irbesartan indicates that there is little influence of potential changes in organ/tissue perfusion and gut edema on the absorption, distribution, and elimination of irbesartan. • Pharmacodynamic parameters cannot be judged • Therefore no dosage adjustments are needed

  11. SAFETY AND TOLERABILITY OF IRBESARTAN • Irbesartan was generally well-tolerated in patients with mild-to-severe heart failure. • Discontinuation of medication and adverse events are not related to dose of irbesartan.

  12. CONCLUSION • Once-daily administration of Irbesartan 75 mg or 150 mg to patients with symptomatic heart failure and LVEF ≤40% is well-tolerated • Resulting in sustained haemodynamic improvement and prevents worsening of heart failure. • Irbesartan appears to be a promising new therapy for patients with chronic heart failure.

  13. SEARCH STRATAGIES • KEYWORDS USED ARE: • “Irbesartan” • “Heart Failure”

  14. DATABASES AND SEARCH TOOLS • Abstract database : Pubmed,Sciencedirect • Free full-text database: Pubmed ( linked to ScienceDirect)

  15. SEARCH PROCESS • Abstract Database: • Pubmed: Use Pubmed basic search. Use search MeSH =”Heart failure” and found 49 results. I selected the first result and narrowed the search to major subheadings, namely: Drug therapy and Therapy • I restricted the search to these subheadings and combined another search term “irbesartan” by selecting the option Send to Search Box with AND, and searched PubMed.=("HeartFailure/drugtherapy"[Majr] OR "Heart Failure/therapy"[Majr])AND "Irbesartan"[All fields] • I got 27 results in all, out of which 3 are free full text and 10 are from Southern Medical University Library. I referred to these 10 articles from Southern Medical University Library and 2 from all the results.

  16. 2.Sciencedirect: Use Sciencedirect advanced search. I typed “Heart failure” in Abstract-Title-Key AND “Irbesartan” in Title and clicked search . I got 14 results which I referred for my topic
