Congestive Heart Failure: Update 2002 Bruce D. Hettleman, MD DHMC December 2, 2002
CASE PRESENTATION • 71 yo retired submarine captain is admitted with pulmonary edema and an elevated troponin. His PMH is notable for advanced CAD and previous MI. He had CABGX3 in 1990. • Echo demonstrated a severely dilated LV with an EF of 20% and 3+/4 mitral regurgitation. • EKG showed sinus rhythm at 52 with first degree AV block and LBBB. • Cardiac Cath revealed a patent IMA to the LAD, patent SVG to the RCA and a severely diseased SVG to the circumflex.
What should be done once the patient is initially stabilized? • 1. Perform urgent repeat bypass surgery and mitral valve replacement. • 2.Perform percutaneous intervention (stent) on the SVG to the circumflex. • 3. Put in a dual chamber pacemaker • 4.Maximize medical therapy because he is too high a risk for revascularization.
Case Presentation--Continued • After stenting the SVG to the circumflex his pulmonary edema subsequently responded to medical therapy and he was able to ambulate but remained Class III CHF. • Discharge medications consisted of a diuretic,digoxin, beta blocker, ace inhibitor, aspirin, plavix and spironolactone. • He was given dietary and weight-based diuretic adjustment guidelines. • Follow-up in CHF Clinic was scheduled for 1 month.
What is the most likely adverse event after adding aldactone in the treatment of CHF? • 1. Hypotension • 2. Breast enlargement • 3. Yellow vision • 4. Hyperkalemia • 5. Worsening CHF
After starting aldactone in Class IV CHF, when should electrolytes be rechecked? • 1. No worries, mate • 2. One week ( big worries, mate) • 3. Four weeks • 4. Three months
Drugs that have shown to prolong life in CHF are: • 1. ACE inhibitors • 2. Beta Blockers • 3. Digoxin • 4. Aldactone • 5. 1,2 and 4
DIG Trial: Effect of Digoxin on Survival in CHF • NHLBI sponsored study of 7,788 patients with class II and III CHF and LVEFs < 45% or > 45% • Randomized, controlled, double-blinded • 93% of patients on ACEIs • Superimposable survival curves • 25% reduction with Dig on first CHF hospitalization
Weight of Evidence: ACE Inhibitors Approximately 7000 patients evaluated in long-term placebo-controlled 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) - Effect shown in SOLVD Treatment, CONSENSUS, and V-HeFT II trials Garg and Yusuf, 1995.
Weight of Evidence: -Blockade Traditionally contraindicated in heart failure, due to impaired inotropy, early lack of tolerability, and worsening heart failure Over 10,000 patients have now been evaluated in long-term placebo-controlled clinical trials; Improvement in cardiac function and NYHA class; and decrease in mortality and morbidity shown in multiple clinical trials Effects shown in patients already receiving ACE inhibitors
Improved survival with aldactone in advanced CHF--Rales Trial
Will a permanent pacemaker help this man? • 1. No, he has no indication for a pacemaker and if you put one in medicare will send you the bill. • 2. Yes, he should have a VVI back up pacemaker prior to discharge because he has LBBB and may unpredictably develop complete heart block and die. • 3. Yes, the placement of a routine DDD pacemaker will reliably improve his hemodynamics • 4.Yes, he ought to have a brand-spankin new biventricular resynchronization device because he has LBBB.
Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy for Heart FailureMechanisms, Clinical Outcomes,Patient Selection, and Implant
Ventricular Dysynchrony and Cardiac Resynchronization • Ventricular Dysynchrony1 • Electrical: Inter- or Intraventricular conduction delays typically manifested as left bundle branch block • Structural: disruption of myocardial collagen matrix impairing electrical conduction and mechanical efficiency • Mechanical: Regional wall motion abnormalities with increased workload and stress—compromising ventricular mechanics • Cardiac Resynchronization • Therapeutic intent of atrial synchronized biventricular pacing • Modification of interventricular, intraventricular, and atrial-ventricular activation sequences in patients with ventricular dysynchrony • Complement to optimal medical therapy 1 Tavazzi L.
