Note of management acute heart failure
Initially I just read the ESC 2016 guideline and was interested in choosing inotropic agents. I started to reads books and looked for more information.

Diuresis
• clinically evident congestion: 4 to 5 liters of excess volume
• greater than 10 L are not uncommon
Diuresis
Symptom Relief
25. Acute Heart failure medical management | CYC 2016
Diuresis
Initial
• i.v. dose should be at least equal to the pre-existing oral dose
• 2.5 x the outpatient dose:
renal dysfunction/severe volume overload
*transient worsening in renal function
Titration should be rapid with doubling
Consider continuous infusion
• significant volume overload (>5 to 10 liters) or diuretic resistance

Cardiorenal Syndrome
Vasodilator can help!
30. Acute Heart failure medical management | CYC 2016
Cardiorenal Syndrome
Use of vasodilators was superior to ultraltration with
regard to preserving renal function and decongestion
Vasodilator Ultrafiltration

Nitrates
Increased coronary blood flow
• Relatively selective for epicardial, (>intramyocardial, coronary arteries)
Goal
• immediate symptom relief
• MAP reduction > 10 mm Hg , SBP > 100 mm Hg
• dose may need to be reduced if SBP is 90 to 100 mm Hg and
often will need to be discontinued with SBP below 90 mm Hg
36. Acute Heart failure medical management | CYC 2016
Nitrates
Recent use of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors
(sildenafil, tadalafil, and vardenafil) should be ruled out
38. Acute Heart failure medical management | CYC 2016
Sodium Nitroprusside
a very short half-life (seconds to a few minutes)
SBP 90 to 100 mmHg are typical goals
Tapering the dose of before discontinuation
Cyanide toxicity:
• as low and as short as possible
• no longer than 10 minutes at top dose in the treatment of severe
hypertension
• contraindicated in hepatic or real failure

49. Acute Heart failure medical management | CYC 2016
Dobutamine
• Beta2 Increase CO via afterload reduction in low dose
• decreased aortic impedance and systemic vascular resistance
• Tachyphylaxis : infusions longer than 24 to 48 hrs
• long-term mortality may be increased,as well as increasing cardiac
sympathetic activity in heart failure patients

50. Acute Heart failure medical management | CYC 2016
Dobutamine
Side effect:
• tachycardia, increasing ventricular response to Af, atrial and
ventricular arrhythmias, myocardial ischemia
• possibly cardiomyocyte necrosis (direct toxic effects and induction of
apoptosis)

51. Acute Heart failure medical management | CYC 2016
Dopamine
• precursor of norepinephrine and releases norepinephrine
• Periphery this effect is overridden by the activity of the prejunctional
dopaminergic-2 receptors, inhibiting norepinephrine release and thereby
helping to vasodilate
Drugs for the Heart, 8th Edition
52. Acute Heart failure medical management | CYC 2016
Dopamine
• Low-dose (≤2 μg/kg/min)
• selective dilation of renal, splanchnic, and cerebral arteries (DA1R)
• Low dose Dopamine + low dose furosemide
• may improved renal function profile and potassium homeostasis
compared with high-dose furosemide (not conclusive!)
Drugs for the Heart, 8th Edition
53. Acute Heart failure medical management | CYC 2016
Dopamine
• Intermediate-dose dopamine (2 to 10 μg/kg/min)
• enhanced NE release, stimulating cardiac receptors with an increase in
inotropy and mild stimulation of peripheral vasoconstricting receptors
• dependent on myocardial catecholamine stores (ineffective in advance
stage )
• Dosing should be gradually decreased from to 3 to 5 μg/kg/min and then
discontinued, avoid potential hypotensive effects of low-dose dopamine
Drugs for the Heart, 8th Edition
54. Acute Heart failure medical management | CYC 2016
Dopamine
• High-dose dopamine (10 to 20 μg/kg/min)
• peripheral and pulmonary artery vasoconstriction (direct agonist
effects on alpha1-adrenergic receptors)
Drugs for the Heart, 8th Edition
55. Acute Heart failure medical management | CYC 2016
Dopamine
Cardiogenic shock or AMI
• 5 mcg/kg/min is enough to give a maximum increase in stroke volume
• Renal flow reaches a peak at 7.5 mcg/kg/min
• Arrhythmias may appear at 10 mcg/kg/min
Drugs for the Heart, 8th Edition
56. Acute Heart failure medical management | CYC 2016
Dopamine

Cardiogenic shock: infusion of equal concentrations may afford more
advantages than either drug singly

Mechanism
Subcellular localization
• possibility to stimulate inotropy without increasing heart rate
• Bypasses receptor downregulation
67. Acute Heart failure medical management | CYC 2016
Attention
Extremely long duration
• elimination half-life of 2.5 hours
• pharmacodynamic half-life > 6 hours
Renally excreted
Hypotension and atrial and ventricular arrhythmias
OPTIME-HF (2002) N = 951 Compare with Placebo
• No change in Days with CV-related hospitalization
• excess sustained hypotension (P = .004), new atrial fibrillation/flutter (P
< .001), VT/VF (P = .06)

SURVIVE (2007) N = 1327 Compare with Dobutamine
• No change in dyspnea at 24 hr, days alive out of hospital at 180 days,
all-cause mortality at 31 days, CV mortality at 180 days

• More frequent hypotension and cardiac arrhythmias during infusion period;
• numerically higher risk of death, 90 days (REVIVE-1,-2: Levo, 49 deaths/
350 pts. vs. placebo, 40/350, P = .29)

Inotropic
+
Vasopressor
72. Acute Heart failure medical management | CYC 2016
Vasopressor
Vasopressor (norepinephrine preferably)
considered in cardiogenic shock+ treatment with another inotrope
• to increase blood pressure and vital organ perfusion
• increase in LV afterload
Norepinephrine > Dopamine (fewer side effects and lower mortality)
Epinephrine : restricted to persistent hypotension
despite adequate cardiac filling pressures and the use of other vasoactive agents
73. Acute Heart failure medical management | CYC 2016
Norepinephrine
Logically, should be of most use:
shock-like state + peripheral vasodilation (“warm shock”)
• Combination with PDE inhibitors helps to avoid the hypotensive effects
of the PDE inhibitors
• Contraindications :late pregnancy and preexisting excess
vasoconstriction
