5 million patients- have heart failure
500,000 new cases every year
300,000 deaths/year300,000 deaths/year
3. Types of Heart Failure
• Systolic heart failure (HFrEF)
– Decreased pumping function of the heart, which results
in fluid back up in the lungs and heart failure
– EF =<35%
• Diastolic heart failure (HFpEF)
– Involves a thickened and stiff heart muscle
– As a result, the heart does not fill with blood properly
– This results in fluid backup in the lungs and heart
failure
– EF =>50%
5. Classification of HF: Comparison
Between ACC/AHA HF Stage and
NYHA Functional Class

Therapies
12. Heart Failure Treatments:
Medication Types
•ACE inhibitor (angiotensin-
converting enzyme)
•ARB (angiotensin receptor
blockers)
•Beta-blocker
•Digoxin
•Diuretic
•Aldosterone blockade
Type What it does
•Expands blood vessels which lowers blood
pressure, neurohormonal blockade
•Similar to ACE inhibitor—lowers
blood pressure
•Reduces the action of stress hormones
and slows the heart rate
•Slows the heart rate and improves the heart’s
pumping function (EF)
•Filters sodium and excess fluid from the blood
to reduce the heart’s workload
•Blocks neurohormal activation and controls
volume
14. Lifestyle Changes
•Eat a low-sodium, low-fat diet
•Lose weight
•Stay physically active
•Reduce or eliminate alcohol
and caffeine
•Quit Smoking
What Why
•Sodium is bad for high blood pressure, causes
fluid retention
•Extra weight can put a strain on the
heart
•Exercise can help reduce stress and
blood pressure
•Alcohol and caffeine can weaken an already
damaged heart
•Smoking can damage blood vessels and make
the heart beat faster
15. • Ivabradine can be beneficial to reduce HF
hospitalization for patients with symptomatic (NYHA
class II-III) stable chronic HFrEF (LVEF ≤35%) who
are receiving GDEM, including a beta blocker at
maximum tolerated dose, and who are in sinus rhythm
with a heart rate of 70 bpm or greater at rest.
• IIa, ACC/ AHA focused update 2016
16. PERIPHERAL ULTRAFILTRATION
• Removes sodium and water in hospitalized HF patients
who are refractory to pharmacologic therapy.
• (UNLOAD) trial enrolled 200 patients with AHFS and
reduced or preserved ejection fraction,
Dyspnea and renal function were not improved..
• ESC 2016 Class IIb , (Level of Evidence: C)
18. Although tolvaptan and conivaptan have been
approved for the treatment of clinically
significant hypervolemic and euvolemic
hyponatremia, their value in the
management of AHFS, with or without
hyponatremia, remains to be determined.
Class IIb (Level of evidence B)
19. Cinaciguat
• Soluble guanylate cyclase(sGC) activator
• Preliminary studies shows beneficial hemodynamic
profile
• At higher doses associated with significant
hypotension, but did not affect 30 days post
discharge mortality
• COMPOSE Trial
20. Advantages over Nitrates
• Heme independent means no tolerance
• More predicatable vasodilatory response
21. Chimeric Natriuretic Peptides(CD-NP)
• C type natriuretic peptide (CNP)
• lacks the natriuretic property of ANP and BNP
• Less hypotension – primaraly a venodilator
• Dendroaspis (DNP)
• Significant natriuretic
• Cause hypotension – both artery and venodilator
22. Aliskiren
• Direct renin inhibitor
• Approved for treatment of hypertension
• Oral treatment
• ACE inhibitors and ARBs are of proven
benefit in treatment of CHF
23. ASTRONAUT
• Addition of alikiren to standard therapy
delays time to events including CV deaths
of HF rehopitalization within 6 mths in pts
hospitalized for AHFS and EF < 40 %
25. Rolofylline
• Highly selective Adenosine A 1 receptor
antagonist
• Increases RBF
• Enhances diuresis
• But does not activate the tubulo glomerular
feedback
26. • Pilot study was PROTECT trial which
showed positive trends in AHF
• But PROTECT II showed only mild
benefits on symptoms and no effects on
renal protection and other pre specified
outcomes and was associated with more
CNS adverse effects
• Hence current status : doubtful
27. Ularitide
• Synthetic analouge of urodilatin
• Urodilatin is natriuretic and diuretic
hormone ( ANP family)
• Ularitide has additional vasodilatory
properties due to effect on vascular c GMP
28. • SIRIUS I and II(Safety and Efficacy of an
Intravenous Placebo /controlled
Randomized infusion of Ularitide in
Prospective double blind Study in patients
with Symptomatic Decompansated Chronic
Heart Failure)
• Improved clinical status, hemodynamics
and neurohormonal profile
• S/E : significant hypotension
29. Endothelin antagonists
• Endothelin 1 ,2 , 3
• Receptors : ET A and ET B
• Most potent endogenous vasoconstriction
via ET A receptos
• Levels of Endothelin increase in HF and
correlates with patient outcomes
• Currently aproved for treatement of PAH
with moderated dysability (Functional Class
III)
30. Tezosentan
• Non selective ET A/B antagonist
• VERITAS trial
• > 1400 pts with AHF were given tezosentan
infusion 24 – 72 hrs v/s placebo
• Did not improve symptoms or decrease mortality
at day 7 post randomization
31. Istaroxime
• Prototype of a new class of drug
• M/A : inhibits membrane bound Na+/K+
ATPase and stimulates SERCA 2a
• Hence increase inotropic and lusitropic
effects
• Improves both systolic and diastolic
function, reduce LV dimension in diastole
and increase SBP
32. HORIZON HF trial
• Studied 120 pts with AHF and reduced EF
• Addition of istaroxime to standard therapy
lowered PCWP and heart rate and increased
SBP
• Higher dose infusion (1.5 mcg/k/min)
increased cardiac index and reduced LVEDV
• No changes in neurohormones , renal function
and trop I levels during 6 hr infusion
33. Relaxin
• Pre – RELAX – AHF study
• Dose response effect of relaxin v/s placebo on symptom
relief, other clinical outcomes and safety in pts with AHF
and normal to incresed BP
• Associated with improvement in dyspnea and other clinical
outcomes
• Currently being studied in RELAX-AHF
trial- phase II/III
39. Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Key Points
Recommendations
• CRT is recommended for symptomatic patients with HF in
sinus rhythm with a QRS duration ≥150 msec and LBBB QRS
morphology and with LVEF ≤35% despite OMT in order to
improve symptoms and reduce morbidity and mortality.
• Timing of Referral Important
– Patients often not on optimal Medical Rx
– Patients referred too late- Not a Bail Out
41. Heart Failure and Sudden Cardiac
Death
– SCD is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S. –
approximately 450,000 deaths a year
– Patients with heart failure are 6-9 times as likely to develop
sudden cardiac death as the general population
42. How does a defibrillator for
sudden cardiac death work?
44. • ICD is recommended in patients:
a) with asymptomatic LV systolic dysfunction
(LVEF ≤30%) of ischaemic origin, who are at
least 40 days after acute myocardial infarction,
b) with asymptomatic non-ischaemic dilated
cardiomyopathy (LVEF ≤30%), who receive
OMT therapy, in order to prevent sudden death
and prolong life.
47. In Summary….
• Heart failure is common and has high mortality
• Drug therapy improves survival
– Betablockers, ACE-I, aldosterone antagonists
• Newer device therapies are showing promise for
symptom relief and improved survival
– Biventricular pacing, ICD’s
• Transplants remain rare, but technology for
mechanical assist devices continues to improve,
stay tuned …! ! !
The major risk factors that are associated with HF are CAD, a history of previous MI, hypertension, valvular heart disease, alcoholism, diabetes, and congenital heart defects.
Additional HF risk factors are obesity, age, reduced or falling vital capacity, smoking, and high of low hematocrit level.
The New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification system is based largely on the assessment of symptoms.1
The new American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) classification guidelines were designed to compliment the NYHA classification system. These new guidelines focus more on underlying disease and the need to treat early in the disease process, even before overt symptoms of heart failure are present.2
Lifestyle changes involved in managing heart failure:
Discuss diet and exercise in some detail:
Staying active does not mean training as if you were going to run a marathon: but can simply mean regular walks. You can start slowly and build up under the direction of your doctor.
Can reduce sodium in your diet by focusing on eating fresh meats, fruits, and vegetables; reading labels: asking questions when you eat out; and getting a low-sodium cookbook.
Lifestyle changes are things you can do to influence how your feel.
It may seem difficult to accomplish these things, but they are an essential part of treating heart failure.
There are many resources to help you get started in incorporating these changes into your life. List any.
Also, ask your friends and family for support.
Many patients with advanced systolic heart failure exhibit significant inter- or intraventricular conduction delays that disturb the synchronous beating of the left and right ventricles so that they pump less efficiently. This delayed ventricular activation and contraction is referred to as ventricular dysynchrony and is easily recognized by a wide QRS complex on an ECG.
This IVCD (inter- or intraventricular conduction delay) typically has left bundle branch morphology.
Dr. (Name) says:
Sudden Cardiac Arrest is as scary as it sounds. It means that your heart suddenly starts beating very fast and quivers instead of beating in a regular and organized way. No blood gets pumped, and you will die unless you get treatment within minutes. We’ll talk more about treatments in a moment.
Unlike a heart attack, SCA is caused by an electrical problem in your heart.
SCA can strike without warning, and there are no symptoms.
Click on animation. Dr. (Name) says:
Some people with Class III and IV heart failure can benefit from a heart failure pacemaker that can help your heart beat more efficiently by coordinating or synchronizing the way the heart beats, so your heart pumps more efficiently.
It works by automatically checking your heart function 24 hours a day.
This type of heart device is also called cardiac resynchronization therapy or CRT. You may also hear the term biventricular pacing. All refer to the same kind of treatment.
Treatment with a heart device may make you feel better.
Although many people experience dramatic improvements in their quality of life and in their heart failure symptoms, results may vary. Not everyone responds to the treatment in the same way.
It is also important to note that heart failure pacemakers do not cure heart failure--a heart failure pacemaker is part of an overall treatment plan.
Describe heart failure pacemaker device:
A heart failure pacemaker is about the size of a small pocket watch that contains a battery and computer circuitry to correct your heart rhythm and help your heart beat more efficiently. Small insulated wires called leads connect the device to the heart.
We’re going to pass around a plastic replica of a Medtronic combination heart failure pacemaker and defibrillator pacemaker . Facilitators circulate and pass around replicas and collect them.
Before I move on, I’d like to say a few words about Medtronic, the company helping us put on the seminar today.
Medtronic was the first company to introduce a pacemaker in the United States. Physicians worldwide have prescribed heart failure pacemakers for more than 120,000 patients.
Other people with heart failure are in danger of having heartbeats that are irregular and/or too fast.
These irregular heart beats can cause you to feel short of breath and light headed. Such episodes may also be life threatening if not treated quickly.
Some heart devices also contain a defibrillator in addition to the special kind of pacemaker. This combination device also sends out small electrical signals to restore your normal heart rhythm. If the small signals do not work, the device sends out a shock to reset your heart rhythm. This kind of device is also used to treat SCA.
