3 HF Incidence In the United States: Incidence of first hospitalization for HF approaching 400 per 100,000 population 1 Incidence of second hospitalization for HF approaching 1,000 per 100,000 1 Age-adjusted hospitalization rates for HF, Blair JE, et al. Curr Cardiol Rev. 2013;9(2): Fang J, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2008;52(6):

4 Why the high incidence? 1) Chronic HF treatment is improving 2) Improved survival from acute coronary syndrome (ACS) 1 22% males and 46% females with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) will be disabled with HF within 6 years 3) Population is aging (increasing risk factors) 1,2 Millions of persons 65 years old Millions of persons Percent of population Year Percent of population 65 years old 3 1. Roger VL, et al. Circulation 2012;125(1):e YancyCW, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol 2013;62(16);e Ortman JM, et al. US Census Bureau May 2014.

6 Acute Heart Failure (AHF) Defined as a rapid or gradual change in signs and symptoms in patients with chronic HF or de novo HF that necessitates urgent therapy and/or hospitalization 1 Leading medical cause of hospitalization among people 65 years 2 Presentation of AHF represents a period of very high risk, during which the likelihood of death and re-hospitalization is significantly greater than for a comparable period of chronic but stable HF Treatment is highly variable and needs to improve 1 1.

28 2010 HFSA Recommendations for Vasodilator Therapy IV vasodilators and diuretics recommended for rapid symptom relief in patients with acute pulmonary edema or severe hypertension In the absence of symptomatic hypotenstion, IV nitroglycerin, nitroprusside, or nesiritide may be considered as an addition to diuretic therapy for rapid improvement of congestive symptoms Frequent blood pressure monitoring recommended Decrease dosage if symptomatic hypotension develops IV nitroprusside, nitroglycerin, or nesiritide may be considered in patients with AHF and advanced HF who have persistent severe HF despite aggressive treatment with diuretics and standard oral therapies Lindenfeld J, et al.
