1 CLINCIAL APPLICATION OF GUIDELINES IN HEART FAILURE SSC Journée d Automne 25 novembre 2010 Dr. Charles Seydoux, spéc. FMH en médecine interne et en cardiologie, Lausanne Dr. Claudia Bösch, Oberärztin Herzinsuffizienz & Transplantation, Inselspital, Bern

2 Clinical case scenario A.G. ( ), 1963 No CV history in the past Active smoker No medical treatment 169 cm, 71 kg, BMI 25

3 CLINICAL APPLICATION OF GUIDELINES IN HEART FAILURE A.G. ( ), 1963 No CV history in the past Active smoker No medical treatment 169 cm, 71 kg, BMI : Chest pain on exertion over past 2 months Acute chest pain in the morning 144 (nitrates) admitted to rural primary care hospital: normal clinical examination, no more chest pain ECG:

4 CLINICAL APPLICATION OF GUIDELINES IN HEART FAILURE A.G. ( ), 1963 ECG in ER, 3 hours after onset of symptoms:

5 CLINICAL APPLICATION OF GUIDELINES IN HEART FAILURE What next?

6 CLINICAL APPLICATION OF GUIDELINES IN HEART FAILURE A.G. ( ), 1963 ECG: acute anterior myocardial infarction : Thrombolytic therapy in primary care hospital (Rapilysin (r-pa), ASS 250mg, Clopidogrel 600mg) - max CK rise up to 5400, Troponin ECG post-lysis:

8 2010

9 CLINICAL APPLICATION OF GUIDELINES IN HEART FAILURE A.G. ( ), 1963 Course of hospitalization: symptom-free on ambulation, no signs of congestion, BP 100/65mmHg, HR 90bpm, SaO2 96% on room air Transthoracic echocardiography on day 2: LVEF 30-35% akinetic apex hypokinetic anterior and septal mid-wall no significant valve pathologies

10 What next? a) Medical treatment for heart failure (non-invasive strategy) b) Functional testing (DSE, MPI, cmri, treadmill?), only if angina -> cath c) Cath directly d) Discharge, review in 3 months, then decide if further investigations needed

11 CLINICAL APPLICATION OF GUIDELINES IN HEART FAILURE A.G. ( ), : Coronary Angiography

12 Now what?

13 BUT:.

14 Evidence: treatment for persistent infarct-related occluded artery after MI Late Open artery hypothesis, 1993: Post-MI patency of IRA independent predictor of - lower incidence of death, -HF, - recurrent MI occluded IRA open IRA BRAVE-2 (beyond 12 hrs (12-48) reperfusion alternative evaluation trial) 2005: -final infarct size smaller in PCI group: 8% vs 13%

15 On the other hand. DECOPI (Desobstruction Coronaire en Post- Infarctus), 2004 LVEF 5% higher in invasive group after 6 mo more patent arteries in PCI 83 vs 34% restenosis 49% in PTCA ( ) NO DIFFERENCE IN CLINICAL OUTCOMES, HIGHER COST THAN MEDICAL OAT (occluded artery trial), 2006 no sign. benefit from IRA opening in absence of viable or ischemic myocardium

16 What do the most recent guidelines (2010) recommend?

17 ESC 2010 Lit 88: salvage in late PCI, Busk Lit 89: BRAVE 2 Lit 90: DECOPI Lit 91: OAT

18 CLINICAL APPLICATION OF GUIDELINES IN HEART FAILURE A.G. ( ), : Coronary angiography: LAD occlusion-> PCI with DES LV EF 30-35% after STEMI, late reperfusion (d 4), AP CCS 1, NYHA I-II, BP 100/75mmHg, HR 80bpm, BNP 420, creatinin150 umol/l medical treatment:?

19 CLINICAL APPLICATION OF GUIDELINES IN HEART FAILURE A.G. ( ), 1963 Treatment at discharge: Aspirin 100 mg Plavix 75 mg Lisinopril 5 mg Beloc Zoc 50 mg Pravastatine 40 mg Nexium 40 mg..
