Heart Failure: The Scope
Prevalence
4.6 million Americans
Incidence
550,000 new cases/year
10 per 1000 population after age 65
Morbidity
1,000,000 hospitalizations (2001)
5 to 10% of all admissions
Most frequent cause of hosp in elderly
Mortality
Contributes to 260,000 deaths/year
Up to 70% of patients die suddenly
Five year mortality rate ~50%

Cost of Heart Failure
 $38.1 billion in 1991
 Rising to an estimated ~$54 billion in 1999
 Accounting for approximately twice the cost
for cancer or myocardial infarction
 5.4% of total health care costs
 Single largest expense for Medicare

D
Stage
Patient Description
High risk for
developing heart
failure (HF)
Asymptomatic HF
•
•
•
•
Symptomatic HF
• Known structural heart disease
• Shortness of breath and fatigue
• Reduced exercise tolerance
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)
Hunt SA et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2001;38:2101–2113.
Hypertension
CAD
Diabetes mellitus
Family history of cardiomyopathy
• Previous MI
• LV systolic dysfunction
• Asymptomatic valvular disease
Symptom Relief is Not Sufficient
Heart failure is more than a symptomatic disease
Produces symptoms, limits functional capacity, and impairs
quality of life
Heart failure is a progressive disease
Worsening symptoms and clinical deterioration, repeated
hospitalization, and death
Death occurs frequently even in the presence of minimal
symptoms or the absence of progressive symptoms
Symptoms do not always correspond with ejection fraction
Ventricular Remodeling
Ventricular Remodeling After Acute Infarction
Global remodeling
(days to months)
Initial infarct
Expansion of infarct
(hours to days)
Ventricular Remodeling in Diastolic and Systolic HF
Normal heart
Dilated heart
(systolic HF)
Hypertrophied heart
(diastolic HF)

ACE Inhibitors in Heart Failure

~7000 patients evaluated in long-term placebocontrolled clinical trials

Improvement in cardiac function, symptoms,
and clinical status; equivocal effects on
exercise tolerance

Decrease in all-cause mortality by 20-25%
(P<.001) and decrease in combined risk of
death and hospitalization by 30-35%
(P<.001)

In class II or III CHF patients with EF < 35% on
good background drug therapy, the mortality rate
for placebo-controlled patients is 7.2% per year
over 5 years

Simple, single lead, shock-only ICDs decrease
mortality by 23%

Amiodarone, when used as a primary
preventative agent, does not improve survival
