This document discusses heart failure, including its increasing prevalence globally, definitions, classifications, management, and new strategies. Some key points:
- Heart failure prevalence is increasing worldwide and mortality remains high, around 50% within 5 years of diagnosis.
- The universal definition characterizes heart failure as a clinical syndrome caused by structural or functional cardiac abnormalities, accompanied by typical symptoms and signs.
- Management focuses on guideline-directed medical therapies (GDMT) including ACE inhibitors, ARBs, beta-blockers, and MRAs, though utilization remains suboptimal.
- The PARADIGM-HF trial showed the ARNI drug sacubitril/valsartan reduced cardiovascular death and heart failure

Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction(HFpEF).ptxSarfraz Saleemi
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is not one disease but a clinical syndrome presenting with symptoms of Heart Failure with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50 percent and evidence of cardiac diastolic dysfunction. (abnormal LV filling pattern and elevated filling pressures)
It is more common among older patients and women, and results from abnormalities of active ventricular relaxation and passive ventricular compliance. HFpEF should be part of differential diagnosis in patients with typical symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, dyspnea, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, edema and clinical signs of chronic heart failure. Echocardiography features of normal ejection fraction with impaired diastolic function confirm the diagnosis.

Managing Heart Failure in Patients on Dialysismagdyelmasry3
•
Heart failure and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) commonly coexist; 1 comorbidity worsens the prognosis of the other.
•
Although patients with ESKD compose an extremely high-risk population, they have been excluded from landmark clinical trials in heart failure, and there is, thus, a paucity of data regarding the management of heart failure in patients on dialysis.
•
Trial-level evidence is warranted in the future to endorse the efficacy and safety of therapeutic interventions in patients with heart failure and on dialysis. Collaborations between cardiologists and nephrologists are needed to devise an optimal treatment strategy for these patients.
Cardiology: Treatment of Heart FailureVedica Sethi
Abstract Heart Failure (HF) is the most widely recognized cardiovascular disorder behind medical clinic affirmation for individuals more established than 60 years old. Hardly any regions in medication have advanced as surprisingly as HF treatment in the course of recent decades. Be that as it may, progress has been reliable just for ceaseless HF with diminished discharge part. In intensely decompensated HF and HF with safeguarded discharge part, none of the medications tried to date have been conclusively demonstrated to improve endurance. Deferring or forestalling HF has gotten progressively significant in patients who are inclined to HF. The anticipation of declining interminable HF and hospitalisations for intense decompensation is likewise critical. The target of this paper is to give a compact and down to earth rundown of the accessible medication medicines for HF. The most ideal proof based medication treatment (counting inhibitors of the renin–angiotensin– aldosterone framework and β blockers) is helpful just when ideally actualized. Notwithstanding, usage may be testing. To accept that ailment the executives projects can be useful in giving a multidisciplinary, comprehensive way to deal with the conveyance of ideal clinical consideration.

Does Type of Dialysis Affect BNP in Fluid Overload Patients?Premier Publishers
Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) levels are important as predictors of heart failure in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (PD). Twenty-four HD patients and 35 PD patients were included in the study. Each patient underwent an echocardiographic examination besides the determination of BNP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and homocysteine (Hcy). BNP, left ventricular mass (LVM), left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and Hcy levels were significantly higher in HD group (p<0.05); hs-CRP levels were significantly higher in PD group (p=0.029). Predialysis BNP was significantly higher than the postdialysis BNP (p=0.003). There was a significant correlation between LVMI and BNP in PD (r=0.527, p=0.009) and predialysis BNP in HD (r=0.417, p=0.043) groups. In conclusion, BNP levels were found to be significantly correlated with LVMI in HD and PD patients. Hemodialysis patients had higher BNP and LVMI levels. This may be due to the hemodynamic changes which occur with the hemodialysis.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. Introduction
Heart Failure is increasing in epidemic proportions across the world
including the developing countries like India.
Prevalence of HF to be increased by 46% globally by 2030 as per
ACC/AHA 2021 statistics.
The incidence of HF in patients more than 45 years is 6.0-7.9/1000
person years, while in >65 it is 20/1000 person years
One in 6 patients with HFREF develop worsening HF within 18 months of
the diagnosis.
The 30- day admission rate is approximately 56%.

TRIVANDRUM HF Registry
2013
1025 PATIENTS were enrolled
Mean age of patients was 61.2 years
In hospital mortality of HFrEF was 9.7% vs HFpEF 4.7%
Mortality at 3 years was 44.8%.

6. Five-year mortality and readmission rates in patients with heart
failure in India: Results from the Trivandrum heart failure
registry
Three out of every 5 patients had died during 5-years of follow-up with a median survival of approximately 3
years.
In this relatively younger cohort of HF patients, 3 out of 5 patients had died at 5- years.
Lack of GDMT in patients with HFrEF and frequent readmissions were associated with higher 5-year
mortality.
Only 25% of patients were discharged from the index hospitalization on GDMT and importantly, prescription
of GDMT at discharge was associated with lower 5- year mortality rates in patients with HFrEF.

8. Timeline of definitions of HF
“A condition in which the heart fails to discharge its contents adequately” (Thomas Lewis, 1933)
“A state in which the heart fails to maintain an adequate circulation for the needs of the body despite a
satisfactory filling pressure” (Paul Wood, 1950)
“A pathophysiological state in which an abnormality of cardiac function is responsible for the failure of
the heart to pump blood at a rate commensurate with the requirements of the metabolising tissues”
(E Braunwald, 1980)
“Heart failure is the state of any heart disease in which, despite adequate ventricular filling, the
heart’s output is decreased or in which the heart is unable to pump blood at a rate adequate for
satisfying the requirements of the tissues with function parameters remaining within normal limits”
(H Denolin, H Kuhn, H P Krayenbuehl, F Loogen, A Reale, 1983)
“A clinical syndrome caused by an abnormality of the heart and recognised by a characteristic pattern
of haemodynamic, renal, neural and hormonal responses” (Philip Poole-Wilson, 1985)
“[A] syndrome . . . which arises when the heart is chronically unable to maintain an appropriate blood
pressure without support” (Peter Harris, 1987)
“A syndrome in which cardiac dysfunction is associated with reduced exercise tolerance, a high
incidence of ventricular arrhythmias and shortened life expectancy” (Jay Cohn, 1988)
“Abnormal function of the heart causing a limitation of exercise capacity” or “ventricular dysfunction
with symptoms” (anonymous and pragmatic)
“Symptoms of heart failure, objective evidence of cardiac dysfunction and response to treatment
directed towards heart failure” (Task Force of the European Society of Cardiology, 1995)
9. Various terminology related to HF
based on variables chosen..
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
10. HF is a clinical syndrome characterized by typical symptoms (e.g.
breathlessness, ankle swelling and fatigue) that may be accompanied by
signs (e.g., elevated jugular venous pressure, pulmonary crackles and
peripheral oedema) caused by a structural and/or functional cardiac
abnormality, resulting in a reduced cardiac output and/ or elevated
intracardiac pressures at rest or during stress.1

56. ARNI is preferred choice as
foundational therapy along with
beta blocker & Diuretics
Because of new evidence, ARNI
is now also recommended in
newly diagnosed, ACEi/ARB naïve
patients
Clinicians should aim to achieve optimal GDMT within 3 to
6 months of an initial diagnosis of

59. ACC 2021 ECDP update answers most common question?
In a patient with new-onset stage C HFrEF, whether to initiate a beta-blocker or
an inhibitor of the renin-angiotensin system (ARNI/ACEI/ARB) first?
The writing committee recommends that either an ARNI/ACEI/ARB or beta-blocker
should be started
In some cases, an ARNI/ACEI/ARB and a beta-blocker can be started at the same time.
Initiation of an ARNI/ACEI/ARB is often better tolerated when the patient is still
congested (“wet”)
Beta-blockers are better tolerated when the patient is less congested (“dry”) with an
adequate resting heart rate
Beta-blockers should not be initiated in patients with decompensated signs or
symptoms

67. Take home message
Early recognition of HF is essential.
GDMT to be initiated at the earliest in patients at risk of HF.
There is no stable HF or improved HF – instead persistent HF, HF in remission to be
used.
HF definition should be uniform for effective implementation of services in patient
care, trial evidence.
Referral to HF specialist to be encouraged in case of special scenarios.
ARNI, SGLT2 inhibitors are the drugs with pleomorphic effects in HF management.
HF team approach for effective management of patients to be encouraged.
