24 2013 Guidelines For The Management of Heart Failure

25 Common. Hyponatremia and ADHF Summary Very strong biomarker for prognosis. Vasopressin receptor antagonists are the most effective treatment for correction of hyponatremia and volume overload. The drugs however, have not been shown to improve symptoms or prognosis in patients with both acute and chronic HF

26 HR at Discharge and Mortality / hospitalizations Lasky WK et al J Am Heart Assoc 2015;4;e ,217 medicare patients in Get with the guidelines HF

27 Relation Between Magnitude of HR Reduction and Change in LVEF in BB Trials. 35 trials ~23,000 patients Flannery et al AJC 2008

28 Relation Between Magnitude of HR Reduction and Mortality in BB Trials

29 HR and Survival in 2039 Patients with HFrEF Cullington D et al JACC 2014;2:213 HR significantly associated with survival. Each increase in resting HR by 10 bpm associated with 13% increase in annual mortality (HR: 1.13, 95% CI: 1.03 to 1.24, p ). Patients with HR > 70 bpm had worse survival compared to a reference group of < 57 bpm. ( HR: 1.47; 95% CI: 1.03 to 2.13, p. 0.04).

30 Meta-Analysis: BB Dose, HR Reduction, and Death in Patients With Heart Failure McAlister FA et al Ann Int Med 2009;150:784 Every 5 beats/min reduction in HR = 18% reduction in the risk for death.

31 Is Target Dose More Important Than Target HR? Porapakkham P et al CV Therapeutics 2010:10;1755 Target dose Carvedilol 50 mg /d, Bisoprolol 10 mg/d, Metoprolol Succinate 190 mg/d Target HR 60 bpm

32 HR or BB Dose? Results From The HF ACTION Trial Fiuzat M et al JACC Heart Failure 2016;4:109

33 Beta Blockers, Heart Rate and Outcome There is a strong relation between HR, BB dose and mortality in HF. The effect of BB on outcome is related to the magnitude of HR reduction.
