2 Objectives: 1. Define risk factors, prevalence, and diagnostic criteria of valvular heart disease (VHD) 2. Describe the 2017 AHA/ACC Focused Update s recommendations regarding anticoagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation and the evidence used to support them Disclaimer: Please note that guidance related to the management of valvular heart disease is only fully updated every 6 years with focused updates created on an as needed basis. Recommendations discussed during this presentation may become outdated in the future as new agents and clinical data becomes available. 2

3 ONE MINUTE PAPER!!! Background THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG 3

4 Meet the Cast: Mitral Stenosis (MS): typically due to rheumatic disease, but in less severe cases due to progressive calcification Aortic Stenosis (AS): slow progression of aortic sclerosis which leads to valve obstruction, remodeling, and further calcification Mitral Regurgitation (MR): volume overload of the left ventricle leads to valve prolapse and further pathological valve remodeling leaky valve Aortic Regurgitation (AR): histological abnormalities and volume overload in the aorta leads to valve prolapse and further pathological remodeling leaky valve NIH.

What causes heart valve disease. Available at: Accessed October 21, Iung B, Vahanian A. Epidemiology of acquired valvular heart disease. Can J Cardiol Sep;30: Healio. Heart murmurs topic review. Available at: Accessed October 21, Knowledge Check CD is a 49 year old female with PMH significant for HTN, HLD, DM, MI in 2013, migraines (about 2 per month), and GERD who presents to her PCP for routine follow-up. Since her MI in 2013, CD works out 4 times per week to help maintain a healthy weight (BMI=21.2) and lifestyle. She denies any tobacco or alcohol use. Family history is non-significant. CD s most recent echocardiogram from June 2015 was normal. Which of the following is NOT one of CD s risk factors developing valvular heart disease in the future? A. Previous MI in 2013 C. BMI of 21.2 B. Diabetes Mellitus D. Hypertension 5

6 Diagnosis HOW DO WE TELL THEM APART? Mitral Stenosis (MS) Physical Exam: Relatively unremarkable pulses Opening snap followed by decrescendo-crescendo murmur Chest Radiography: Left atrial enlargement Electrocardiogram: Extended P-wave duration; atrial fibrillation Echocardiogram: Hockey stick deformity NIH.

12 Guideline Recommendations: Anticoagulation is indicated in patients with atrial fibrillation and a CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score of 2 or more WITH native aortic valve disease, tricuspid valve disease or MR (COR I LOE: C-LD) BUT ARE OUR OPTIONS OPEN? Nishimura RA, Otto CM, Bonow RO, Carabello BA, Erwin JP 3rd, Fleisher LA, Jneid H, Mack MJ, McLeod CJ, O'Gara PT, Rigolin VH, Sundt TM 3rd, Thompson A AHA/ACC Focused Update of the 2014 AHA/ACC Guideline for the Management of Patients With Valvular Heart Disease: A Report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Task Force on Clinical Practice Guidelines. J Am Coll Cardiol Jul 11;70: Guideline Recommendations: It is REASONABLE to use a DIRECT ACTING ORAL ANTICOAGULANT (DOAC) as an alternative to a VKA in patients with atrial fibrillation, a CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score greater than 2, AND native aortic valve disease, tricuspid valve disease, or MR.

14 A Closer Look: Siontis KC, Yao X, Gersh BJ, Noseworthy PA. Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Valvular Heart Disease Other Than Significant Mitral Stenosis and Mechanical Valves: A Meta-Analysis. Circulation Feb 14;135: Knowledge Check During an EKG as part CD s aortic stenosis work-up, CD was found to have an irregularly-irregular heart rhythm consistent with atrial fibrillation. CD s PCP contacts your pharmacy for recommendations regarding anticoagulation due to her CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc Score of 4 and comorbid valvular disease. Given CD s newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation and aortic stenosis, which DOAC would you want to avoid due to increased risk of bleeding in patient s with valvular disease? A. Dabigatran C. Edoxaban B. Apixaban D. Rivaroxaban 14

15 Summary: 1. Stick To Warfarin: For patients with rheumatic AND non-rheumatic mitral stenosis 2. The Floodgates Are Open: DOACs can be considered in valvular atrial fibrillation USE CAUTION not all are created equal 3. Follow The Evidence: Increased risk of bleeding with rivaroxaban Decreased risk of stroke/systemic embolism with apixaban and dabigatran How you feel after becoming an expert on Valvular Heart Disease: 15
