AIMS. Heart failure definition and epidemiology Heart failure ‘types’ and treatment Case studies
DEFINITION. PHYSIOLOGICAL – inability of the heart to pump sufficient oxygenated blood to the metabolizing tissues despite an adequate filling pressure. CLINICAL – syndrome consisting of symptoms caused by cardiac dysfunction. Gardner et al (2007)
EPIDEMIOLOGY. The incidence of heart failure is approximately 57. 9 per 100, 000 with a prevalence of approximately 1%. (Townsend et al. 2012). Heart failure hospitalisations account for up to 70% of heart failure expenditure and 2% of all NHS bed-days. (NICE 2010) Once patients suffer their first HF admission to hospital, 40. 2% of HF patients die within 12 months, based on data from all heart failure patients across England on QOF HF registers. (HSCIC 2015) 5 -year survival rates for heart failure are worse than for common cancers such as breast and prostate. (Askoxylakis et al. 2010) Patients on GP heart failure registers, representing prevalent cases of heart failure, have a 5 -year survival rate of 58% compared with 93% in the age- and sex-matched general population. (NICE 2010).
DIAGNOSIS. History Clinical Assessment Natriuretic Peptides; � Two most common: B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) N-terminal pro B-type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-pro. BNP) � Exclusion threshold at presentation (ESC 2012): BNP: Acute 100 pg/ml, non acute 35 pg/ml NT-pro. BNP: Acute 300 pg/ml, non acute 125 pg/ml Echocardiogram
AETIOLOGY OF HEART FAILURE. Ischemic Heart Disease Hypertension Valve disease Arrhythmias Cardiomyopathy Congenital Heart Disease Iatrogenic Metabolic Mc. Donagh et al (2011)
CLINICAL FEATURES. Sensitivity (%) Specificity (%) Breathlessness 66 52 Orthopnoea 21 81 PND 33 76 History of oedema 23 80 Tachycardia 7 99 Pulmonary crackles 13 91 Oedema on examination 10 93 Third heart sound 31 95 Raised JVP 10 97 Mc. Donagh et al (2011) Clinical features
LEFT VENTRICULAR SYSTOLIC DYSFUNCTION. Signs and symptoms of heart failure +; � Reduced ejection fraction Normal ≥ 55% Mild LVSD 45 -54% Moderate LVSD 35 -44% Severe LVSD ≤ 35% (Steed et al 2011); Significant volume of empirical evidence available on its management � Pharmacological � Intervention / Devices NICE Chronic Heart Failure Guidelines (2010), Nice Quality Standard + QOF indicators available to standardise practice
PHARMACOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT. Multitude of clinical trials and guidelines which supporting the use of medications in the management of heart failure; � First line treatment: ACE Inhibitor / Angiotensin receptor blocker Beta Blocker � Second line treatment: Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist Entresto (Sacubitril/Valsartan) If symptoms persist despite above interventions: � Ivabradine � Digoxin � Hydralazine / Nitrate
NEURO-HORMONAL ACTIVATION. Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone Sympathetic System. Nervous System Activation.
DIASTOLIC DYSFUNCTION. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is thought to be the underlying pathophysiological abnormality in patients with HF-PEF (ESC 2012) No single echocardiographic parameter is sufficiently accurate and reproducible to be used in isolation to make a diagnosis (ESC 2012) E/A ratio commonly commented on in echocardiogram reports where diastolic dysfunction is reported NICE (2010) recommends to treat co-morbid / contributory conditions in line with published NICE guidance.
RIGHT HEART FAILURE. Usually occurs as a consequence of respiratory disorders / pathophysiology � Cor pulmonale Can be a caused by primary cardiovascular disease e. g. mitral valve disease, right ventricular infarction Typically systemic congestion is main physical manifestation and cause of symptoms Specialist regional centres exist for the management of pulmonary hypertension
FLUID MANAGEMENT. Measurements of fluid status: � Input/output chart � Daily weights � CVP Fluid Restriction: � Education � Documentation / communication Diuretic therapy: � IV vs Oral � Multiple agent choices � Kidney function
HAEMODYNAMIC ALTERATIONS. Patients with cardiac conditions may experience: � High / low blood pressure � Fast / slow heart rates Questions to consider: � What are the patients normal parameters? � Are they compromised by abnormal findings? � What is their NEWS score, may this be adjusted for long term condition? Most importantly remember: � Documentation � Communication � Planning
CASE STUDY 1. 29 year old male MHX: Dilated cardiomyopathy (alcoholic), Chronic kidney disease, CRT-D. Echo: LVEF 20%, dilated left ventricle and atrium, trivial valve disease. Recent hospital admission, attending surgery for medication review: � SOB – NYHA III � Fatigue � Orthopnea � PND
CASE STUDY 2. 66 year old male. MHX: Hypertension, Prostate Cancer, Anaemia, Type II Diabetes Echo: LVEF 57%, mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy Seen in surgery due to increasing symptoms, poor blood pressure control: � Symptoms; SOB – NYHA III Orthopnea Palpitations BNP 4000 pg/ml
CASE STUDY 3. 82 year old female MHX: COPD, Pulmonary Hypertension, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Chronic Kidney Disease Echo: LVEF 58%, Mild mitral regurgitation, moderate tricuspid regurgitation, RVSP 54 mm/Hg, moderate/ severe dilated right atrium and ventricle Review due to abnormal kidney function (stage 3 BCKD): � SOB – NYHA IV � Fatigue � Orthopnea
