  1. Heart Failure Liviu Klein MD, MS http://www.cardiologyfellows.northwestern.edu/cculectures

  2. Outline Definition • Definition • Pathophysiology • Epidemiology (prevalence, incidence, trends) • Epidemiology (mortality and associated morbidity) • Risk factors • Heart failure stages and treatment • Advanced heart failure and transplant

  3. Heart Failure Definition • A complex clinical syndrome that can result from any structural or functional cardiac disorder that impairs the ability of the ventricle to fill with or eject blood. • Cardinal manifestations are dyspnea and fatigue (which may limit exercise tolerance), and fluid retention (which may lead to pulmonary congestion and peripheral edema). • Both abnormalities can impair the functional capacity and quality of life of affected individuals, but they do not necessarily dominate the clinical picture at the same time. Hunt SA et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2005; 46: e1-e86.

  4. Heart Failure Definition • Some patients have exercise intolerance but little evidence of fluid retention, whereas others complain primarily of edema and report few symptoms of dyspnea or fatigue. • Because not all patients have volume overload at the time of initial or subsequent evaluation, the term “heart failure” is preferred over the older term “congestive heart failure.” • One line definition: LV EDP > 12 mmHg Hunt SA et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2005; 46: e1-e86.

  26. Stage Patient Description A High risk for developing heart failure (HF) • Hypertension • CAD • Diabetes mellitus • Family history of cardiomyopathy B Asymptomatic HF • Previous MI • LV systolic dysfunction • Asymptomatic valvular disease C Symptomatic HF • Known structural heart disease • Shortness of breath and fatigue • Reduced exercise tolerance D Refractory end-stage HF • Marked symptoms at rest despite maximal medical therapy (eg, those who are recurrently hospitalized or cannot be safely discharged from the hospital without specialized interventions) New Classification of Heart Failure Hunt SA et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2005; 46: e1-e86.

  27. Management of Chronic HF • Establish diagnosis (BNP, echo) • Determine etiology • Define syndrome (e.g. systolic vs. diastolic) • Correct precipitating factors (NSAIDS, COX2, etc.) • Evaluate and correct ischemia • Initiate chronic therapy • Nonpharmacologic (e.g. exercise, tx. of sleep apnea, etc) • Pharmacologic (ACE - I, b - Blockers, ARB, diuretics, digoxin, etc.) • Electrical • Surgical • Assess response to therapy

  28. Stage C: Symptomatic HF Class I • Level A evidence • Diuretics in patients with fluid retention • ACE inhibition, unless contraindicated • Beta blockade in stable patients, unless contraindicated • Digitalis, unless contraindicated • Level B evidence • Withdrawal of drugs known to adversely affect the clinical status of patients All Class I recommendations for Stages A and B Hunt SA et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2005; 46: e1-e86.

  29. Diuretics • Loop diuretics in pts. with CrCl < 30 • Torsemide ↓ hospitalizations compared to furosemide • Have to be given bid to avoid rebound Na reabsorbtion • May use thiazides if CrCl > 30 • Use combination (e.g. furosemide + thiazide), iv bolus or iv drips • Metolazone in refractory HF or in pts. with renal failure. Should not be used daily. • Add spironolactone if Cr < 2.5 and K < 5. Hunt SA et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2005; 46: e1-e86.

  31. ACE Inhibitors • Most pts. tolerate ACE - I. • ACE - I improve symptoms immediately (days). • Pts. should not be “too dry” (no orthostatic ↓BP). • If ↓ BP, check for orthostatic changes. If none, ACE - I OK. • Low BP and CRF are not CI for ACE - I. • If BUN/ Cr are raising, adjust the diuretic dose. • Low BP, low Na, renal dysfunction: low dose, short acting ACE - I, titrate to target dose or the highest dose tolerated. • Low vs. high dose ACE - I: difference in outcomes. Hunt SA et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2005; 46: e1-e86.

  36. Beta - Blockers • Only bisoprolol, carvedilol and metoprolol succinate. • Start at low doses, increase every 2 weeks to target dose or the highest tolerated dose. • Intermediate vs. high dose: no difference in outcomes. • Do not start in pts. dependent of inotropic support. • Can start before hospital discharge in pts. not fluid overloaded. • Do not stop BB in hospitalized pts. who are on chronic BB therapy (may worsen HF). • BB will take 3-6 months to improve symptoms. • Low BP and severe HF are not CI for BB.

  40. Beta - Blockers

  41. Angiotensin Receptor Blockers • Combination ARB + ACE - I + Beta - Blockers is safe. • No mortality benefit when ARB is added to ACE - I. • ARB are useful in pts. who are ACE intolerant. • ARB could be added to ACE - I for symptomatic improvement. • Triple RAAS blockade (ACE - I, ARB, aldosterone blockers) should not be used (Hyper K).
