1 Diagnosis and management of Chronic Heart Failure in 2018: What does NICE say? PCCS Meeting Issues and Answers Conference Nottingham

2 NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR HEALTH AND CARE EXCELLENCE Chronic heart failure in adults: Diagnosis and management (NG106) September 2018

3 The Model of Care should ensure people receive the right care, at the right time, by the right team and in the right place

4 Compared with certain cancers, heart failure is associated with the second poorest survival rate The picture can't be displayed. In an observational study of 16,224 men and 14,842 women hospitalised with heart failure or different types of cancer: Median survival time of patients with heart failure was 16 months Only 25% of men and women survived 5 years Survival Women Breast 0.6 MI Bowel 0.4 Ovarian Heart failure 0.2 Lung Men MI Bladder Bowel Prostate Heart failure Lung Months of follow-up Months of follow-up MI, myocardial infarction. Stewart S et al. Eur J Heart Fail 2001;3:

5 Classifying heart failure (NICE CHF Guideline NG106) u Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction Heart failure with an ejection fraction below 40%. u Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction This is usually associated with impaired left ventricular relaxation, rather than left ventricular contraction and is characterised by normal or preserved left ventricular ejection fraction.

7 Diagnosing Heart Failure NICE CHF Guidelines NG106

8 Diagnostic Algorithm Take a detailed history and perform a clinical examination Perform ECG. Consider chest x-ray, blood tests, urinalysis, peak flow or spirometry Measure NT probnp NT pro BNP >2000ng/l (>236pmol/l) Refer urgently to be seen within 2 weeks NT pro BNP ng/l (47-236pmol/l) Refer urgently to be seen within 6 weeks NT pro BNP <400ng/l (<47pmol/l) Specialist clinical assessment including echocardiography Exclude important valve disease, assess the systolic and diastolic function of the left ventricle, and detect intracardiacshunts Heart failure confirmed Heart failure not confirmed HF less likely Consider alternative causes for symptoms Assess HF severity Assess HF aetiology Identify precipitating factors and correctable causes HF unlikely If still concerned that symptoms might be related to heart failure, discuss with a specialist HFREF HFPEF Other abnormality

9 Diagnostic Algorithm Take a detailed history and perform a clinical examination Perform ECG. Consider chest x-ray, blood tests, urinalysis, peak flow or spirometry Measure NT probnp NT pro BNP >2000ng/l (>236pmol/l) NT pro BNP ng/l (47-236pmol/l) NT pro BNP <400ng/l (<47pmol/l) Refer urgently to be seen within 2 weeks Refer urgently to be seen within 6 weeks Specialist clinical assessment including echocardiography Exclude important valve disease, assess the systolic and diastolic function of the left ventricle, and detect intracardiacshunts HF less likely Consider alternative causes for symptoms If still concerned that symptoms might be related to heart failure, discuss with a specialist

10 Natriuretic peptides in Heart Failure ANP atria :BNP ventricles Increase in response to volume expansion and pressure overload in failing heart Promotes natriuresis dilates the afferent and constricts the efferent arteriole in the kidney resulting in decreased Na reabsorption and inhibits the secretion of renin and aldosterone Vasodilatation (arteries and veins)

11 other factors which may alter NT-proBNP levels May Reduce Serum NT-proBNP Obesity Diuretics ACE/ARB ARA s Beta blockers May Increase Serum NT-proBNP LVH Ischaemia Tachycardia/AF RV overload Hypoxaemia COPD Sepsis Diabetes Renal impairment Hepatic cirrhosis Over 70 s

12 Diagnostic Algorithm Take a detailed history and perform a clinical examination Perform ECG. Consider chest x-ray, blood tests, urinalysis, peak flow or spirometry Measure NT probnp NT pro BNP >2000ng/l (>236pmol/l) NT pro BNP ng/l (47-236pmol/l) NT pro BNP <400ng/l (<47pmol/l) Refer urgently to be seen within 2 weeks Refer urgently to be seen within 6 weeks Specialist clinical assessment including echocardiography Exclude important valve disease, assess the systolic and diastolic function of the left ventricle, and detect intracardiacshunts HF less likely Consider alternative causes for symptoms If still concerned that symptoms might be related to heart failure, discuss with a specialist

13 Team working in the management of heart failure NICE CHF Guideline NG106 The core specialist heart failure multidisciplinary team (MDT) should work in collaboration with the primary care team, and should include: ua lead physician with subspecialty training in heart failure (usually a consultant cardiologist) who is responsible for making the clinical diagnosis u a specialist heart failure nurse ua healthcare professional with expertise in specialist prescribing for heart failure. [2018]

14 Role of the Specialist Heart Failure MDT (NICE CHF Guideline NG106) The specialist heart failure MDT should: u diagnose heart failure u give information to people newly diagnosed with heart failure u manage newly diagnosed, recently decompensated or advanced heart failure (NYHA [New York Heart Association] class III to IV) u optimise treatment u start new medicines that need specialist supervision u continue to manage heart failure after an interventional procedure such as implantation of a cardioverter defibrillator or cardiac resynchronisation device u manage heart failure that is not responding to treatment. [2018]

17 NICE Chronic Heart Failure First consultations for people newly diagnosed with heart failure The specialist heart failure MDT should offer people newly diagnosed with heart failure an extended first consultation, followed by a second consultation to take place within 2 weeks if possible. At each consultation: u discuss the person's diagnosis and prognosis u explain heart failure terminology u discuss treatments u address the risk of sudden death, including any misconceptions about that risk u encourage the person and their family or carers to ask any questions they have. [2018]

18 Communication The specialist heart failure MDT should write a summary for each person with heart failure that includes: u diagnosis and aetiology u medicines prescribed, monitoring of medicines, when medicines should be reviewed and any support the person needs to take the medicines u functional abilities and any social care needs social circumstances, including carers' needs. [2018] u Summary should be the basis of a care plan and shared with the patient/carer/ appropriate health professionals

32 Key recommendations for Primary care NICE CHF Guideline NG106

33 The role of primary care (NICE CHF Guideline NG106 ) The primary care team working within the specialist heart failure MDT should take over routine management of heart failure as soon as it has been stabilised and its management optimised. [2018]

34 The role of primary care (NICE CHF Guideline NG106 ) The primary care team should carry out the following for people with heart failure at all times, including periods when the person is also receiving specialist heart failure care from the MDT: u ensure effective communication links between different care settings and clinical services involved in the person's care u lead a full review of the person's heart failure care, which may form part of a long-term conditions review u recall the person at least every 6 months and update the clinical record u ensure that changes to the clinical record are understood and agreed by the person with heart failure and shared with the specialist heart failure MDT u arrange access to specialist heart failure services if needed. [2018]

35 Clinical review (NICE CHF Guideline NG106) All people with chronic heart failure need monitoring. This monitoring should include: u a clinical assessment of functional capacity, fluid status, cardiac rhythm (minimum of examining the pulse), cognitive status and nutritional status u a review of medication, including need for changes and possible side effects u an assessment of renal function [2010, amended 2018] u The frequency of monitoring should depend on the clinical status and stability of the person. The monitoring interval should be short (days to 2 weeks) if the clinical condition or medication has changed, but is needed at least 6-monthly for stable people with proven heart failure. [2003]

38 Long Term Condition templates - Heart Failure

39 why is it important that HF is monitored at a LTC u Raises the profile of heart failure amongst all clinical staff - increased awareness of symptoms - earlier diagnosis - monitoring should lead to earlier re-referral - reduced hospital admissions - improved communication MDT-patient-Primary care - improved overall care and better supported patients - reduced costs
