Heart failure
• A pathophysiologic state in which an abnormality of cardiac function is responsible for failure of the heart to pump blood at a rate commensurate with metabolic requirements of the tissues -E Braunwald
• Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome that occurs, because of an inherited or acquired abnormality of • Cardiac structure • Cardiac function
develop a constellation of • Clinical symptoms - dyspnea and fatigue • Signs- edema and rales
that lead to frequent hospitalizations, a poor quality of life, and a shortened life expectancy- Harrison’s princilple of internal medicine 18th ed.

Epidemiology
• More than 20 million people affected worldwide
• Affects 10% of people over 65 year
• It is the most common condition for which patients 65 + require admission to hospital
• ”our country is set to be the heart disease capital of the world in a few years”
• Prevalance in india- 1.87 %
Prevalance- 2% in developed countries
Affects over 50% of people with 85+ years
Approx 10% of patients with HF die each yr.

Why HF is increasing ?
• Almost any disease of heart can cause it
• More of HT, DM, Obesity – CVD
• CAD - which is its commonest cause
• Better tools for diagnosis and availability
• Better detection and treatment of causes
• Better Rx. of RF, CAD, MI - PTCA, CABG
• Increasing longevity of the population

Classification • BY EJECTION FRACTION
• Reduced ejection fraction(<40-50%)- systolic heart failure• Preserved ejection fraction(>40-50%)- diastolic heart failure
• BY TIME COURSE• Chronic heart failure(CHF)• Acute heart failure (Cardiogenic Shock)
• ANATOMICALLY • Left sided- LHF• Right sided- RHF(CHF)
• BY OUTPUT• High output failure-Thyrotoxicosis, Paget's dis, Anemia, Pregnancy,
A-V fistula• Low output failure – 95% of HF is this

MANAGEMENT OF HF
![Page 14: recent advance in pharmacotherapy of Heart failure](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062616/5497ec29ac7959092e8b54c7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Non Pharmacological
• Activity- • Routine modest exercise for class I-III• For euvolemic patients- regular isotonic exercise such as walking
or riding a stationary-bicycle ergometer
• Diet-• Restriction of sodium (2-3 g daily) is recommended in all patients,
Extra < 2g reduction in moderate to severe cases.• Fluid restriction (<2 L/day) if hyponatremia (<130 meq/L)• Caloric supplementation- with advanced HF and unintentional
weight loss or muscle wasting (cardiac cachexia)
Three things for preventing heart diseases are – Eat less fried food, less butter and ghee. Second, exercise daily for around 45 minutes.
And third, reduce stress in life

Diagnosis
• Detailed history, clinical examination, ECHO and/or serum natriuretic peptide levels
• Confirm heart failure and Assess the severity of symptoms
Treatment• Education on lifestyle management and
exercise training
Step- 1
• ACE inhibitor (or ARB if ACEI not tolerated) +/- β-blocker**
• Concomitant therapy with β-blocker + ACEI (or ARB if ACEI not tolerated)
• If still symptomatic with optimised triple therapy (ACEI, β-blocker, diuretic)
Step- 2
• ADD mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) (ARB may be considered if
• MRA not suitable)§• hydralazine + isosorbide may be useful in black
populations / patients not• responding or intolerant of step 2 combinations
Step- 3• Consider adding in digoxin / ivabradine /
use of non-surgical interventional• therapies (ICD, CRT)

OMECAMTIVE MECARBIL
• ↑stoke vol & CO
• ↓HR & ↓LV end diastolic pressure.
• No effect on BP
• Do not ↑rate of rise of LV pressure but ↑LV ejection time & do not
change myocardial O2 consumption
• No untoward effect on exercise tolerance

![Page 29: recent advance in pharmacotherapy of Heart failure](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062616/5497ec29ac7959092e8b54c7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
SERCA 2a activators• SERCA2a mediates the reuptake of Ca2+ back into the SR
during the early diastolic phase .• Adeno-associated virus 1 (AAV1) is used for delivery of
SERCA2a complementary DNA by intracoronary infusion in trials.
• Improved systolic and diastolic functions, improved ventricular metabolic reserve, and reducing the likelihood of ventricular arrhythmias during ischemia-induced Ca2+ overload
• Drawbacks- inhomogeneous SERCA2 overexpression may be pro-arrhythmic , implantation of a cardioverter defibrillator was an inclusion criterion for the trial.
• Currently under phase 3 trial.
![Page 30: recent advance in pharmacotherapy of Heart failure](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062616/5497ec29ac7959092e8b54c7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Ryanodine receptor stabilizers (JTV519 )
• Ca+2 entry in SR triggers further its release via activating the ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2)
• Diastolic Ca2+ leak through dysfunctional RyR2, leak may lead to a reduction in SR Ca2+ content, with less Ca2+ available for release and consequently weaker muscle contractions.
• Calstabin proteins increase the probability of the channel to be in its closed state, RyR channel stabilizers.
• MOA- JTV519 (originally called K201), S107, S44121 enhances RyR-calstabin binding and stabilizes the closed state of the RyR thus preventing SR Ca2+ leak
• preserve left ventricular systolic and diastolic function • prevents left ventricular remodeling

Neuregulins• Growth-promoting proteins of the epidermal growth factor family .• Neuregulin-1 (NRG-1) plays a key role in cardiac chamber differentiation and
trabeculation in the developing embryo and in cardiac function.
• Act through the ErbB family of tyrosine kinase receptors.• In the later stages of HF, both NRG-1 expression and NRG-1/ErbB signaling
are inhibited, enhanced susceptibility of cardiomyocytes to cell death and progression of HF.
• Recombinant human NRG-1β2 infusion improve cardiac structure and function by 90 days
• Increase in cardiac output as well as vasodilator effect
• Drawbacks- potential for acceleration of tumor growth , administered intravenously over many hours on a daily basis, thus limiting its utility in chronic HF , Nausea
• Currently under phase 3 trial.

HF FORMS• Systolic ventricle unable to contract normally LVEF is <50% Sx due to inadequate out- put
• Diastolic ventricle unable to relax and fill normally LVEF is preserved >50% Sx related to increased fill- ing pressures Estimated at 20-50% of HF More in elderly women

Epidemiology of Heart FailureClinical criteria – Prevalence 1-2 %
Males > Females; in 65+ Prevalence 7%
50% of LVSD is asymptomatic
NEF HF varies from 15 to 50%
Incidence 0.2 to 0.3 %; with age

Metabolic Modulators
• MOA: Shift in energy utilisation from FFA glucose• FFA require larger O2 for oxidation ,myocardial efficiency is
low• FFA derivative may inhibit PDH & glucose oxidation↑
conversion of pyruvate to lactatelactic acidosisimpaired myocyte contractility
PERHEXILINE:• Inhibitor of carnitine palmitoyl transferase-1shift of
myocardial substrate to carbohydrate• Disadv: narrow TI,hepatotoxicity,peripheral neuropathy• Clinical trial: improvement in peak O2 uptake,quality
oflife,LVEF

• RANOLAZINE: • Acts through inhibition of late sod channel current prevent
intracellular Ca++ overload during myocardial ischemia• Also inhibits FFA oxidation• Beneficial effects on LV diastolic function,LV remodelling &
myocardial fibrosis.
• TRIMETAZIDINE:• Improvement in NYHA functional class• ↓ LV end diastolic vol & ↑LVEF• Improved exercise tolerance• ↓FFA oxidation & unchanged myocardial oxidative rate↑ glucose
utilisation

Signs and symptomsAcute heart failure
• Fluid overload-• Weight gain• Dyspnea on exertion• Paroxysmal nocturnal• dyspnea (PND)• Orthopnea• Rales• Peripheral edema• Jugular venous• distension• Ascites• Hepato-/splenomegaly
• Low Cardiac Output• Fatigue• Nausea and vomiting• Early satiety• Weight loss• Increased serum• creatinine
Chronic heart failure
• breathing difficulties during the night or when lying down
• coughing and wheezing• fatigue and weakness• shortness of breath• swollen ankles.• abdominal pain, bloating, or loss of
appetite• accumulation of fluid in the abdomen• bluish skin around the mouth• constipation• pale skin and cold hands or feet• urination at night

Systolic Heart Failure
• LVSD – Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction
• Most common type of Heart Failure; 60-70%
• LV is usually dilated & enlarged.
• Fails to contract normally due to WMA, Ischemia
• Cannot pump sufficient blood to meet needs
• In LVSD heart failure the EF is <40 -45%
• This carries a 10% mortality per annum
![Page 59: recent advance in pharmacotherapy of Heart failure](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062616/5497ec29ac7959092e8b54c7/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Diastolic Heart Failure
• Accounts for 20-40% of patients
• Ventricles are normal-sized with normal emptying
• But there is an impairment in the ability of the ventricles to fill with blood during diastole.
• Because of stiff myocardium due to hypertrophy
• The heart fails to relax normally (relaxation poor)
• Generally older women
• Hypertension is the commonest cause
• This carries a 5-8% mortality per annum

Important Points
• Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) can be caused by any type of cardiac dysfunction
• Most commonly attributable to LV Dysfunction
• Rarely HF is due to isolated RV dysfunction
• Most common and best studied cause of CHF is LV Systolic Dysfunction (LVSD)
• Normal Ejection Fraction Heart Failure (NEFHF) is due to LV Diastolic Dysfunction – (HFPSF)
• It is difficult to diagnose and quantify.
• 30- 40% of patients die within 1 year of diagnosis and 60-70%
die within 5 years, mainly from worsening HF or as a sudden
event (probably because of a ventricular arrhythmia)

NYHA classification
I. No visible sign and symptom
II. Sign and symptom on high level of exercise
III. Sign and symptom on low level of exercise
IV. No physical exercise possible, bed rest necessary
