NUMBER of PATIENTS
21 MILLION adults worldwide are
living with heart failure
This number is expected to
rise.1,2
REHOSPITALISATION
Heart failure is the NUMBER 1
cause of hospitalisation for
patients aged >65 years.4
MORTALITY
50% of heart failure patients die
within 5 years from diagnosis.5
COMORBIDITIES: The vast
majority of HF patients has 3 or
more comorbidities 3
ECONOMIC BURDEN
In 2012, the overall worldwide
cost of heart failure was nearly
$108 BILLION.6
The burden of heart failure
* There is no consensus concerning the cut-off for preserved EF2
Definition of Heart Failure
TERMINOLOGY used to describe HF2
Related to EF*: HFrEF (reduced ejection fraction: EF<40%)
HFmEF (mildly impaired EF: EF 40-49%
HFpEF (preserved ejection fraction: EF ≥50%)*
Related to time-course: New onset, transient, chronic
Related to progression: Acute, stable, worsening
Related to location: Left heart, right heart, combined
Heart failure can be defined as an abnormality of cardiac structure or function leading to failure
of the heart to deliver oxygen at a rate commensurate with the requirements of the
metabolizing tissues, despite normal filling pressures (or only at the expense of increased filling
pressures).1

Aetiology of HF
VALVULAR HEART DISEASE
• Mitral
• Aortic
• Trisuspid
• Pulmonary
MYOCARDIAL DISEASE
• Coronary artery disease
• Hypertension
• Cardiomyopathy
ENDOCARDIAL DISEASE
• With/without hypereosinophilia
• Endocardial fibroelastosis
PERICARDIAL DISEASE
• Constrictive pericarditis
• Pericardial effusion
HIGH OUTPUT STATES
• Anaemia
• Sepsis
• Thyrotoxicosis
• Paget‘s disease
• Arteriovenous fistula
ARRHYTHMIA
• Tachyarrhythmia
• Atrial
• Ventricular
• Bradyarrhythmia
• Sinus node dysfunction
CONDUCTION DISORDERS
• Atrioventricular block
VOLUME OVERLOAD
• Renal failure
• Iatrogenic (e.g. post-
operative fluid infusion
CONGENITAL
HEART DISEASE
Injury to myocytes due
to myocardial infarction
or other cause
NEUROHUMORAL
IMBALANCE
ELECTRICAL INSTABILITY
REDUCTION of EF
VENTRICULAR
REMODELING
1. McMurray JJ. N Engl J Med 2010;362:228–238
2. Shah AM. Lancet 2011;378:704–712
An imbalance occurs in three key neurohumoral systems:
• The renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system
• The sympathetic nervous system
• The natriureticpeptidesystem
The systemic responses in the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone and sympathetic nervous systems cause further
myocardial injury, and have detrimental effects on the blood vessels, and various organs, thereby creating a
pathophysiological ‘vicious cycle’. The natriuretic peptide system has a protective function, which can counterbalance
these detrimental effects.
Pathophysiology of HF
Case
How Cardiology Transformed medical care
• 90 Years old male with SP CABG 2004,
admitted for AICD insertion in 2008 based on
MADIT 2 Criteria.
• 7 years earlier , had exertional Syncope and
Repeated LVF
• Admitted and had another cardiac procedure.
• SP CABG + AICD+TAVI
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
How
best to
prescrib
e?
Baseline medical and device therapies
SGLT2i heart failure trials
Zannad F et al: Lancet Aug 30
Sudden cardiac death in HF trials
The annual rate of
SCD in the treatment
arm of PARADIGM-
HF was 3.0%
Shen et al. N Engl J Med
2017;377:41-50
Is this patient a candidate for advanced HF therapies
or a device?
72 year old female
• NYHA II since
discharge
• One hospitalization this
year
• LVEF 32% at baseline
Medications:
• Ramipril 10 mg daily
• Furosemide 40 mg daily
• Bisoprolol 1.25 mg daily
• Spironolactone 12.5 mg daily
• Ivabradine 2.5 mg bid
• SCr 135 µmol/L
• BNP 900 pg/mL
• K+ 4.4
• ECG shows NSR, HR 60 bpm and QRS of
112ms
• Echo: LVEF unchanged at 32%
Events since discharge:
• Reviewed by dietician
• Decrease in K+ containing foods
• Still no public coverage for SGLT2i
• Patient and family don’t want to ‘rock
the boat’ since she’s feeling well and
no further hospitalizations
How can we further optimize in
this setting?
3 month follow-up in primary
cardiologist’s office:
• Symptoms stable with no
hospitalizations
• HR 61 bpm, BP 102/80 (no postural
drop)
• Clinically euvolemic

  1. The burden of heart failure Just looking at these numbers suffices to convince about the burden of heart failure: 21 million adults are currently estimated to suffer from heart failure1,2 Most HF patients have 3 or more comorbidities3 Heart failure is the NUMBER 1 cause of hospitalization for patients aged >65 years4 50% of heart failure patients die within 5 years from diagnosis5 Heart failure did cost 108 billion US dollars in 2012 worldwide6 Mozaffarian D et al. Circulation. 2015;131(4):e29-e322. Mosterd A et al. Heart. 2007;93(9):1137-1146. http://www.cms.gov/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems/Statistics-Trends-and-Reports/Chronic-Conditions/Downloads/2012Chartbook.pdf Cowie MR et al. Oxford PharmaGenesis; 2014. http://www.oxfordhealthpolicyforum.org/AHFreport. Accessed February 18, 2015. Fauci AS et al. Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine. 17th ed. New York: McGraw-Hill; 2008. Cook C et al. Int J Cardiol. 2014;171(3):368-376.
  2. Definition of Heart Failure Heart failure can be defined as an abnormality of cardiac structure or function leading to failure of the heart to deliver oxygen at a rate commensurate with the requirements of the metabolizing tissues, despite normal filling pressures (or only at the expense of increased filling pressures).1 The most important terminology used to describe heart failure is based on the measurement of the left ventricular ejection fraction (EF). This terminology is important because of its prognostic importance: the lower the ejection fraction the poorer the survival. Based on EF, heart failure can be distinguished into: HFpEF: Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction (EF>50%) HFrEF: Heart Failure with reduced Ejection Fraction (EF<40%) There is no consensus concerning the cut-off for preserved EF. An EF below or above 40%, distinguishes between large or normal left end-diastolic ventricular volumes. The distinction has arisen largely because in the past most patients admitted to hospitals for investigation or entered into clinical trials have had dilated hearts with a reduced EF <35 or 40%.2 Patients with an EF in the range 35 – 50% represent a ‘grey area’ and most probably have primarily mild systolic dysfunction.1 Other HF terminology is related to the time-course or the progression of heart failure. Patients who have had HF for some time are often said to have ‘chronic HF’. A treated patient with symptoms and signs, which have remained generally unchanged for at least a month, is said to be ‘stable’. If chronic stable HF deteriorates, the patient may be described as ‘decompensated’ and this may happen suddenly, i.e. ‘acutely’, usually leading to hospital admission, an event of considerable prognostic importance. New (‘de novo’) HF may present acutely, for example as a consequence of acute myocardial infarction or in a subacute (gradual) fashion, for example in a patient who has had asymptomatic cardiac dysfunction, often for an indeterminate period, and may persist or resolve (patients may become ‘compensated’). Many or all of these terms may be accurately applied to the same patient at different times, depending upon their stage of illness.1 McMurray et al. Eur Heart J 2012;33:1787–847 Dickstein K et al. Eur Heart J 2008;29:2388–442 Abbreviations HF=heart failure, EF=ejection fraction, HFrEF=heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, HFpEF=heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
  3. Aetiology of HF There are many causes of HF, and these vary in different parts of the world. There is no agreed or satisfactory classification for the causes of HF, with much overlap between potential categories.1 McMurray et al. Eur Heart J 2012;33:1787–847
  4. Pathophysiology of HF After myocardial injury (e.g. myocardial infarction) the necrotic myocytes do not function, therefore the contraction of the whole myocardium is impaired. Not only the function of the myocardium is affected, but also the size and shape of it. First it becomes hypertrophic and subsequently it dilates. Thus,‘remodelling’ of the ventricle is observed, which leads to further worsening of its contractility. Since the heart can not eject enough blood, the ejection fraction is reduced. What characterizes untreated systolic dysfunction is progressive worsening of these changes over time, with increasing enlargement of the left ventricle and decline in EF, even though the patient may be symptomless initially. Two mechanisms are thought to account for this progression. The first is occurrence of further events leading to additional myocyte death (e.g. recurrent myocardial infarction). The other is the systemic responses induced by the decline in systolic function, particularly neurohumoral activation. Three key neurohumoral systems activated in HF are the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system and the sympathetic nervous system. the natriuretic peptide system In addition to causing further myocardial injury, systemic responses in the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone and sympathetic nervous systems have detrimental effects on the blood vessels, kidneys, muscles, bone marrow, lungs, and liver, and create a pathophysiological ‘vicious cycle’, accounting for many of the clinical features of the HF syndrome, including myocardial electrical instability. The natriuretic peptide system has a protective function, which can counterbalance these detrimental effects McMurray JJ, Clinical practice. Systolic heart failure. N Engl J Med 2010;362:228–238.
