HF Estimates
• HF affects 5.7 Million: 3.1 M men, 2.6 M
women (self-report, age ≥20yo, NHANES-2008)
• Lifetime risk 20% (≥40yo, Framingham[FHS])
• Hospitalizations > 1 M / year
• Prevalence and Incidence of HF
increases with age
– 670,000 new cases age ≥45yo (FHS)
– 56,000 deaths; 1 in 9 deaths (NCHS)
• ≥50% diagnosed w/ HF die within 5 yrs

Evaluation of New HF
(after a good H&P)
• Cardiac function/structure
– ECHO (Cardiac MRI, MUGA)
• Etiology
– R/O CAD: cath vs stress vs CT
– Serologies: TSH, ANA, Ferritin, HIV,
SPEP/UPEP
– Cardiac MRI

Familial DCM
• New Idiopathic DCM dx = Familial in 20-35%
(when 1st degree family members screened)
• Point mutations in 31 autosomal and 2 Xlinked genes
– But only account only for 30-35% genetic causes

Comorbidities
• Affect sxs, Rx, prognosis
• Cardiovascular
– CHD & CHD risk factors: HTN, DM,
metabolic syndrome, obesity
– Valvular disease
– Arrhythmias
– Other atherosclerotic disease: PAD, stroke
• Noncardiac comorbidities
– Too many to list… but will highlight:
• Anemia
• Sleep apnea
Anemia
• ~25% in HF population
– Etiology: hemodilution, Fe or Epo deficiency,
CKD
• 1-g/dL Hgb reduction associated with a
20% increase in risk of death
Tang WH et al, JACC 2008;51:569-576; Anand I et al, Circulation 2004;110:149-154
• Treatment is relatively easy
– Iron supplementation
– IV iron (short-term)
– Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (short term)
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
• Similar sxs as HF
• Common (12-53%) but under-diagnosed
• Thus undertreated
Mild to No OSA
Untreated OSA

HF Specific Management
• Identify and avoid exacerbating factors for HF
• Behavioral management
–
–
–
–
–
–
Fluid restriction (2 L = ½ gallon)
Salt restriction (2 g)
Daily weights (?sliding scale diuretics for the savvy)
Exercise
a.k.a. HF Core Measures
Medical adherence
No smoking
• Biomarkers: BNP/NT-proBNP
– New ones but not commonly available
(ST2, endoglin, galectin3, cystatin C, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, midregional proadrenomedullin, chromogranin A, adiponectin, resistin, leptin)
• “Baseline/dry” weights & NTproBNP helpful
Timing: Medications
• Begin with ACC/AHA Stage A
• Optimize for Stages B-D
Timing: Medications
• Lots of meds with good data, but challenges
of polypharmacy
– Compliance, cost, HF severity
• Priorities
– B-blocker, ACE-I for all (aim for target doses)
– ARB as ACE-I alternative or if congested/
hypertensive
– Hydralazine/nitrate if African-American or
congested/hypertensive
– Diuretic PRN and/or Aldosterone blocker
– Digoxin if recurrent hospitalization
Aim for Target Doses

– Milrinone, Dobutamine, Dopamine End-stage
• Optimize PO regimen

Alternatives to Drugs
• Ultrafiltration (aquapheresis therapy):
– Peripheral or central venous access, ≤4 L off in
≤8 hrs, max removal rate 500 mL/hour
– UNLOAD trial: n=200, RCT, UF vs IV diuretics
• At 48 hrs, UF group had 38%  weight loss, 28%  net
fluid loss
• At 90 days after hospital d/c, UF had  HF rehospitalizations,  ED or clinic visits
Costanzo MR et al. JACC 2007;49(6):675-83
• EECP (enhanced external counterpulsation)
– Already used for angina pts
– PEECH trial: n=187, RCT, EECP vs usual care
• EECP pts had  exercise time, QOL, NYHA Class, but
no difference in peak VO2 changes

Timing: ICD
•
•
•
•
40+ days post-MI/revascularization
>3 months for NICM on optimal therapy
Life expectancy >1 year
Still, low referral rate
– 42% (LVEF≤35%) & 49% (LVEF≤30%)
eligible pts were referred (1 center, 2002-2006)
Bradfield J et al, PACE 2009; 32:S194–S197
– Why? NNT = 6 (MADIT-II) to 14 (SCD-HeFT)
• Patient vs Doctor?
ICD implant rates overall low
MADIT II eligible pts in GWTG hospitals –Implanted or Planned
Implant rate:
20% overall
<1% lowest tertile
35% highest tertile
Shah B et al, JACC 2009;53(5):416-22
ICD Implant Rates
Highest in large
centers with
sophisticated
cardiac facilities
Shah B et al JACC 2009;53(5):416-22
Reiterate the Message?
• Life-saving
• Prognostically Important
ICD Shocks = Poor Prognosis
Any shock is bad
More shocks are worse
• 33% SCD-HeFT pts received ≥1 ICD shock (128 pts
appropriate, 87 inappropriate, 54 both types)
• Most common cause of death = progressive HF
Poole JE et al, NEJM 2008;359:1009-17
ICD Shocks = Poor Prognosis
Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
• 30% with chronic HF have
Ventricular Dyssynchrony
• CRT with biventricular pacemakers can
improve symptoms & survival*:
NYHA Class III-IV, LVEF <35%, basal QRS
duration of >120 msec
– MUSTIC (QRS >150 ms) (2001)
– MIRACLE (QRS >130 ms) (2002)
– COMPANION (QRS >120 ms) (2004)
– CARE-HF (QRS >120 ms) (2005)*
Timing: CRT
• After medical therapy optimized
• CRT has been mostly studied in the
NYHA III-IV population
– If CRT, HF = “Advanced”
• Consider CRT earlier? (earlier than
NYHA Class III)
– REVERSE Trial (2008)
– MADIT-CRT Trial (2009)
– RAFT Trial (2010)
REVERSE Trial
• 610 pts NYHA Class I-II, QRS ≥120, LVEF ≤40%:
CRT-ON ▲ vs CRT-OFF ●
Linde C et al, JACC 2008;52:1834-43
REVERSE Trial
• ~96% on ACEi/ARB and BB; ~35% at target BB dose
• ~80% NYHA II
Linde C et al., JACC 2008;52:1834-43
MADIT-CRT
• 1820 pts NYHA I-II, QRS≥130, LVEF≤30%: CRT-ICD vs ICD
• ~40% NYHA II; 10% NYHA III-IV prior to enrollment
Moss AJ et al, N Engl J Med 2009;361:1329-38.
RAFT
• 1789 pts, NYHA II-III,
LVEF ≤30, QRS ≥120
or ≥200 paced:
CRT-ICD or ICD
Tang AS et al, N Engl J Med 2010;363:2385-95.
CRT “Subgroups”
• Pts who seem to benefit more:
– QRS >150 msec (MADIT-CRT, RAFT)
– Women (MADIT-CRT)
Reverse Remodeling
MADIT-CRT
Moss AJ et al, N Engl J Med 2009;361:1329-38.
• Responders: LA volume <40 ml/m2, women,
nonischemic CM, LBBB, QRS ≥150, LVEDV
≥125 ml/m2, prior hospitalization for HF
Goldenberg I et al, Circulation 2011;124(14):1527-36
CRT Limitations
• ~30% do not respond to CRT
JACC 2009;53:1933-1943)
• HF does ultimately progress

Summary
•
•
•
•
•
Systolic HF is common
Always R/O CAD
Do thorough FH
R/O and Rx sleep apnea and anemia
Aim for target doses for evidencebased HF pharmacologic therapies
Stepwise Therapy for SHF
Start Rx for ACC/AHA Stage A
Optimize Rx for Stages B-D as follows:
, behavioral modifications
, B-blockers
Stage B
Stage C
Kittleson MM, Kobashigawa JA, Circulation 2011;123:1569-1574
Stage D
Summary
• Aim for target doses for evidence-based HF
pharmacologic therapies
• ICDs underutilized, yet prognostically important
• CRT can be considered earlier than “advanced
stage”, but certain subgroups respond better
• If still symptomatic beyond optimal behavior,
meds, and EP devices, consider HTx and VAD
– Always better to consider these therapies early vs
too late
