4 Diagnostic flow-chart 4

5 Treatment for chronic symptomatic systolic heart failure (NYHA II-IV) 5

6 Diuretics relieve dyspnoea and oedema aim to use minimum dose necessary to restore and maintain euvolaemia( dry weight ) combination diuretic therapy sometimes needed to achieve this goal in patients with severe HF, renal dysfunction or both loop diuretics produce a more intense and shorter diuresis than thiazides (more gentle and prolonged diuresis) 6

7 Doses of diuretics commonly used to treat HF 7

8 Treatment for symptomatic (NYHA II-IV) systolic heart failure Class of recommendation: I Level of evidence: A ACEI (or ARBif ACEI not tolerated) for all patients with EF <40% to reduce risk of HF hospitalization and premature death Beta-blocker for all patients with EF <40% to reduce risk of HF hospitalization and premature death MRA persisting symptoms despite ACEI/ARB + BB EF <35% 8

9 Treatment for symptomatic (NYHA II-IV) systolic heart failure ACEI and BBshould be started as soon as HF is diagnosed ACEI modest effect on LV remodelling BB substan al improvement in EF ACEI CONSENSUS (enalapril) SOLVD (enalapril) ATLAS (lisinopril) SAVE (captorpil) AIRE (ramipril) TRACE (trandolapril) BB CIBIS-II (bisoprolol) COPERNICUS (carvedilol) MERIT-HF (metoprolol CR/XL) BEST (bucindolol) COMET (carvedilol) 9

10 Treatment for symptomatic (NYHA II-IV) systolic heart failure MRAs RALES(spironolactone) EMPHASIS(eplerenone) can cause hyperkalaemiaand worsening RFT, especially in the elderly serial monitoring of electrolytes and RFT is mandatory 10

21 Main results Heart rate lowering with ivabradine led to significant reduction in the primary composite endpoint of cardiovascular mortality or hospitalization for worsening heart failure by 18% (p<0.0001) This beneficial effect was mainly driven by a favourable effect on heart failure death (RRR 26%) and on hospital admission for heart failure (RRR 26%) Treatment with ivabradine was safe and well tolerated Swedberg K, et al. Lancet. 2010;376:

22 Treatment for symptomatic (NYHA II-IV) systolic heart failure Ivabradine for patients in sinus rhythm EF <35% HR >70/min to reduce risk of HF hospitalization despite maximum tolerated doses of ACEI+BB+MRA Class of recommendation: IIa Level of evidence: B despite ACEI+MRA but unable to tolerate BB Class of recommendation: IIa Level of evidence: C 22

25 Disease-modifying drugs in heart failure 25

26 Treatments with less certain benefits in HF Digoxin for patients in sinus rhythm EF <45% HR >70/min to reduce risk of HF hospitalization despite ACEI+MRA but unable to tolerate BB Class of recommendation: IIb Level of evidence: B persisting symptoms despite ACEI+MRA+BB Class of recommendation: IIb Level of evidence: B 26

27 Treatments with less certain benefits in HF Hydrallazine& IsosorbideDinitrate(H-ISDN) as alternative to ACEI or ARB (if neither is tolerated) to reduce risk of HF hospitalization & premature death EF <45% and dilated LV (or EF <35%) despite BB+MRA Class of recommendation: IIb Level of evidence: B persisting symptoms despite ACEI+MRA+BB Class of recommendation: IIb Level of evidence: B 27

28 Treatments with less certain benefits in HF N-3 PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acids) to reduce risk of CV hospitalization & death treated with ACEI+MRA+BB Class of recommendation: IIb Level of evidence: B Based on GISSI-HF trial (randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial): 6975 patients with symptomatic CHF (NYHA II-IV) relative risk of death reduced by 14% In absolute terms, 56 patients needed to be treated for 3.9 years to avoid one death 28
