Editor's Notes

  1. Slide 11 The diagnosis of HF is a difficult one to make. Shortness of breath is a symptom associated with many disease states; physical examination is neither sensitive nor specific for CHF. One-third to one-half of patients with CHF have normal pumping function of the heart. Echocardiograms are useful for diagnosis of HF, and provide information to aid in estimating the ejection fraction. The procedure serves as an expensive means to rule in or rule out patients for HF. Echocardiograms are not always available, and require sophisticated technicians and interpretation.
  2. Slide 19 The hemodynamic goal of therapy for the decompensated HF patient is mirrored by the clinical goals of relieving orthopnea, splanchnic congestions, edema, and jugular venous distention, while maintaining adequate pulse pressure and systolic blood pressure. When these goals cannot be achieved or sustained, invasive hemodynamic monitoring has often been performed for the purpose of confirming the hemodynamic profile and then guiding subsequent therapy to approach pulmonary capillary wedge (PCW), Right Atrial (RA), and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) goals.
  3. Slide 20 The hemodynamic profiles of patients with advanced HF. The majority (90%) of patients presenting with acute decompensated HF are volume overloaded (“wet”). These patients may have cardiac index that is unchanged or decreased. Most patients with decreased cardiac index have elevated systemic vascular resistance, though a minority will have unchanged or low SVR. The signs and symptoms of congestion include orthopnea, jugular venous distention, and peripheral edema. Signs and symptoms of low perfusion include narrow pulse pressure, cool extremities, and decreased mental status.
  4. Slide 27 Patients with HF frequently present to the hospital with worsened symptoms in a hypervolemic state. Therapy may initially target this excess fluid incorporating diuretics along with vasodilators to help reduce the overloaded state. Current therapies offer symptomatic benefits to patients with HF. Diuretics reduce fluid volume resulting in decreased pulmonary congestion and swelling of extremities. Vasodilators decrease blood vessel constriction, reducing preload and afterload, improving ventricular function and cardiac output. Inotropic agents stimulate the heart muscle, increasing contractility and cardiac output.
  5. IV Agents for HF The relative benefits and possible limitations of IV HF therapies are summarized. Unlike other agents, including positive inotropes, nesiritide administration leads to a beneficial increase in cardiac output as well as decreases in PCWP and blood pressure, without affecting heart rate or rhythm. Young JB. Rev Cardiovasc Med . 2001;2(suppl 2):S19
  6. Most Common IV Medications All Enrolled Discharges (N = 105,388) October 2001 –January 2004 The use of IV vasoactive medications is shown on this slide. IV diuretics are used in 88% of patients admitted with ADHF. Data on file, Scios Inc.
  7. Slide 21 The hemodynamic profiles of patients with advanced HF. The majority of patients with heart failure are volume overloaded (“wet”). These patients may have cardiac index that is unchanged or decreased. Most patients with decreased cardiac index have elevated systemic vascular resistance, though a minority will have unchanged or low SVR. Vasodilators would be expected to have therapeutic benefits in the “wet and warm” and the majority of “wet and cold patients.” While intravenous intropic therapy is often employed to reduce filling pressures and improve cardiac output, intravenous vasodilator therapy in the setting of vasoconstriction can often achieve similar results without the risks of aggravating ischemia and arrhythmias, and with easier transition to oral vasodilator regimens. Patients with signs of systemic hypoperfusion that are “dry” would be expected to have therapeutic benefits with volume loading and/or inotropic agents.
  8. Limitations of Traditional Vasodilators Traditional vasodilator therapy has limitations. Nitroglycerin is associated with an increase in tachyphylaxis and headache. Nitroprusside is associated with, among other events, an increase in plasma renin activity and production of toxic metabolites. Fonarow GC. Rev Cardiovasc Med . 2002;3(suppl 4):S18
  9. In contrast to nesiritide, the onset of a NTG-mediated hemodynamic effect was delayed, and despite aggressive up-titration the reduction in PCWP was gradually attenuated due to early development of tolerance. IV NTG, at a mean dose of 41 ± 20.3 μg/min at 15 minutes and 77.8 ± 54.3 μg/min at 30 minutes had no significant effect. Up titration of NTG to 146 ± 77 μg/min by 2 hours, resulted in a maximum reduction of PCWP (6.8  5.6 mm Hg; p=0.007). Despite further increase to 160.6 ± 67.5 μg/min, the effect of NTG diminished over time with only 3.2  7.0 mm Hg reduction of PCWP at 24 hours (p=0.15) compared to 12.2  7.5 mm Hg with nesiritide (p&lt;0.001 vs. baseline and 0.005 vs. NTG). The findings of the study, therefore, demonstrate an advantage of nesiritide and reemphasize the limitations of NTG in the treatment of patients hospitalized for decompensated heart failure.
