U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Quantitative Assessment of Congestive Heart Failure with Noninvasive Imaging: Background and Current Approaches Jonathan F. Plehn, M.D. National Institutes of Health National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute NIH/NHLBI Cardiovascular Branch Congestive Heart Failure (CHF): A Syndrome of Epidemic Proportions • Approximately 4.9 million cases in the United States today • Over 400,000 new cases per year • The most common cause of hospitalization in people over 65 years • Increasing numbers of CHF patients due to the aging population Cardiomyopathy : • disease of cardiac muscle • can be symptomatic or asymptomatic Congestive Heart Failure (CHF): • inability of the heart to meet the body’s metabolic demands • manifest by Forwards failure: weakness, fatigue Backwards failure: dyspnea (shortness of breath), peripheral edema (leg swelling) Systolic Heart Failure: reduced LV contractility (EF <40%) Diastolic Heart Failure: preserved EF (>40%), delayed LV relaxation and increased chamber stiffness Noninvasive Imaging of Cardiac Function • Echocardiography (2D/M-mode, 3D, Doppler) • Radionuclide Cineangiography (MUGA, gated SPECT) • Magnetic Resonance Imaging • Contrast Left Ventriculography (Cath) • CT Angiography Normal Systolic Function Severely Depressed Systolic Function Symptoms • Diuretics • Digoxin • ACE Inhibitors • ARBs • Beta Blockers Survival • ACE Inhibitors • Beta Blockers • Hydralazine/Isordil • Aldactone (Class II-IV) LV Remodeling • ACE Inhibitors • ARBs • Beta Blockers Regional Wall Stress: Finite Element Analysis Left Bundle Branch Block Sinus node His Bundle AV node Left Bundle Branch After Kass D.

Improvement in LV Stroke Work The Next Step Beyond Drug Therapy Downsides of CRT in CHF 1. Device is expensive 2. Implantation is time-consuming and sometimes unsuccessful 3. Occasional complications (e.g. tamponade) Unresolved Issues in CRT • At least 20-30% of patients with wide QRS complexes are non-responders: – No dyssynchrony – Inadequate pacing site – Too much pump damage at baseline • QRS width correlates only roughly with mechanical dyssynchrony • Dyssynchrony in patients with normal QRS widths or right bundle branch block. These may respond to CRT MRI Dysynchrony Index Predicts Improvement with Resynch Pacing Nelson GS et al.
