Background
Methods
Results
Context: Transient, in-hospital hypotension
while hospitalized for acute decompensated
heart failure (ADHF) causes clinical concern, but
contributing factors and its association with
outcomes are poorly understood.
Study Population : 7,141 patients with ADHF were randomized to nesiritide or placebo within 24 hours of
first IV therapy. Clinical and laboratory data were recorded for all patients.
Figure 1: Incidence of Hypotension
•Low blood pressure at the time of hospital
admission for ADHF is a well-established risk
factor for adverse cardiovascular outcomes,
including re-hospitalization and mortality1.
•However, only an estimated 25% of patients
hospitalized with ADHF have low blood
pressure at the time of hospital admission2.
•While fall in systolic blood pressure during
hospitalization for ADHF is associated with
worsening renal function3,4, it is unclear if
transient changes in systolic blood pressure are
directly associated with cardiovascular
outcomes.
•
•
Key inclusion criteria: dyspnea at rest or minimal activity + one or more accompanying signs
(respiratory rate ≥20 breaths/minute or pulmonary congestion or edema with rales one-third or
greater up the lung fields) + one or more objective measures of heart failure (congestion or edema
on chest radiograph, BNP ≥400pg/mL or N-terminal pro-BNP ≥1000pg/mL, PCWP >20mm HG, or
LVEF <40% in previously 12 months).
Key exclusion criteria: “high risk” of hypotension (systolic pressure <100 mm Hg or 110 mm Hg with
use of intravenous nitroglycerin), contraindications for vasodilators, unstable dose of IV vasoactive
medications, milrinone or levosimendan therapy in the prior 30 days, and dobutamine treatment at
≥5mcg/mg/min.
•
The threshold for reporting was based on individual investigator’s clinical judgment.
•
Lowest blood pressure (BP), time of hypotension, and whether the episode was symptomatic vs.
asymptomatic was recorded for the first episode of hypotension occurring before hospital discharge.
•
Patients with missing data regarding episodes of hypotension or who died without an episode of
hypotension were classified as having “no hypotension”.
•
For patients with both symptomatic and asymptomatic hypotension, only data from the first event was
utilized.
Statistical Analysis:
•
•
•
•The ASCEND-HF overall results showed no
mortality difference among those treated with
nesiritide vs. placebo.
•However, use of nesiritide was strongly
associated with in-hospital hypotension in
ASCEND-HF.
•We performed a secondary analysis of
ASCEND-HF to examine patient factors
associated with hypotension and its effects on
subsequent 30-day outcomes.

Variable
•
•
Baseline characteristics were compared using the Wilcoxon Rank-Sum test for continuous variables
and the chi-square test for categorical variables.
Stepwise logistic regression was used to assess the association of baseline factors with the risk of
developing in-hospital hypotension. Candidate variables were based on clinical review of prior
publications.
A time-dependent Cox proportional hazards model was used to evaluate the association of inhospital hypotension and 30-day outcomes. The model was adjusted for variables previously found to
be associated with risk of these outcomes in the ASCEND-HF cohort (Table 1).
The interaction of nesiritide on hypotension and 30-day outcomes was assessed to determine if
randomization to nesiritide therapy altered the association between hypotension and 30-day
outcomes.
Missing baseline data had values imputed using Markov Chain Monte Carlo and regression methods.
Final estimates and associated standard errors reflect the combined analysis over twenty-five
imputed data sets.

Values represent percentages or medians (interquartile range).
•
Episodes of in-hospital hypotension were
common among the ASCEND-HF population,
and the majority were asymptomatic.
•
While randomization to nesiritide therapy was
strongly associated with in-hospital
hypotension, it had no interaction with the
relationship between time-dependent in-hospital
hypotension and the three outcomes tested.
This suggests that in-hospital hypotension may
be associated with adverse outcomes
regardless of cause.
•
Severity of heart failure (orthopnea and S3
gallop, chronic metolazone therapy) and region
were among other variables associated with
hypotension. Regional variation in practice
patterns and outcomes warrants further
investigation.
•
Chronic bumetanide therapy and prerandomization calcium channel blocker use
were among variables less likely to be
associated with hypotension. Interestingly,
smaller proportions of patients experiencing inhospital hypotension had pre-randomization IV
vasodilator therapy or nesiritide bolus,
suggesting investigator bias against the use of
vasoactive therapies among patients with more
severe heart failure.
•
Limitations: This is an observational, secondary
analysis of ASCEND-HF, which was not
specifically designed to study the relationship
between hypotension and outcomes. No
causality can be proven. These results are
hypothesis-generating. Also, we attempted to
adjust for confounding variables in our outcome
models, but all confounding factors may not
have been identified, thereby affecting our
results.

Prior studies have shown that low blood
pressure at the time of hospitalization for ADHF
is associated with poor 30-day outcomes. Our
study is novel because we show that
hypotension while hospitalized for ADHF is an
independent prognostic factor for adverse 30day outcomes among a population that was not
hypotensive on hospital admission.
