A Contemporary Appraisal of the HF Epidemic Age and sex-specific incidence of heart failure has declined 315/100,000 to 219/100,000 Rate reduction of 37.5% Incidence decline was greater for HFrEF 45.1% vs. HFpEF-27.9% Risk for CV death was lower for HFpEFbut the same for non-cv death Hospitalizations have increased 34% Most hospitalizations, 63%, were due to non-cardiovascular causes Thus today s epidemic of heart failure is defined by a marked increase in hospitalizations, predominance of non-cv death rate, and persistence and predominance of HFpEF Roger VL et al.

Brand name Indication Dosage Renal/hepatic impairment Switching from an ACE inhibitor Contraindications Side effects New FDA-Approved Sacubitril / Valsartan Sacubitril/Valsartan Entresto The fixed-dose combination of the neprilysin inhibitor sacubitril and the ARB valsartan is indicated to reduce the risk of CV death and HF hospitalization in patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction. Start with 49/51 mg twice daily. Double the dose after 2 4 weeks as tolerated to maintenance dose of 97/103 mg twice daily. For patients not currently taking an ACEI or ARB, or for those with severe renal impairment (egfr <30 ml/min/1.73 m 2 ) or moderate hepatic impairment, start with 24/26 mg twice daily. Stop ACE inhibitor for 36 hours before starting treatment. History of angioedema related to previous ACE inhibitor or ARB, concomitant use of ACE inhibitors, concomitant use of aliskiren in patients with diabetes. WARNING pregnancy, hyperkalemia. Hypotension, hyperkalemia, cough, dizziness, renal failure, and angioedema (0.5% Sac/Val vs. 0.2% Enalapril). http://www.pdr.net/full-prescribing-information/entresto?druglabelid=3756.

Practical Points on Use of Sacubitril / Valsartan Starting dose is 24 / 26 mg twice daily, unless patient is currently tolerating full dose ACEI or ARB in which case start 49 / 51 mg twice daily Target dose is 97 / 103 mg twice daily After 2-4 weeks up-titrate to next dose with ultimate goal to achieve target dose Monitor SBP, renal function and K as you would with ACEI or ARB use Space out dosing from other vasoactive medications if needed Adjust diuretics doses based on volume status Ivabradine Acts by inhibiting the If channel, present in the cardiac SA node Reduces elevated HR SA node Evaluated as treatment of HFrEF who have a resting HR of at least 70 beats per minute, in sinus rhythm, and who are also taking the highest tolerable dose of a beta blocker DiFrancesco D.

New FDA-Approved Ivabradine Ivabradine Brand name Indication Dosage Contraindications Corlanor To reduce the risk of hospitalization for worsening HF in patients with stable, symptomatic chronic HF with LVEF 35% who are in sinus rhythm with resting HR 70 bpm and either are on maximally tolerated doses of beta-blockers or have a contraindication to beta-blocker use. Start with 5 mg twice daily. After 2 weeks of treatment, adjust dose based on HR. Max is 7.5 mg twice daily. In patients with conduction defects or in whom bradycardia could lead to hemodynamic compromise, start with 2.5 mg twice daily. Acute decompensated HF; BP <90/50 mmhg; sick sinus syndrome or third-degree AV block, unless a functioning demand pacemaker is present; resting HR < 60 bpm prior to treatment; severe hepatic impairment; pacemaker dependence. WARNING fetal toxicity. Side effects Occurring in 1% of patients are bradycardia, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and luminous phenomena (phosphenes). http://www.pdr.net/full-prescribing-information/corlanor?druglabelid=3713. Accessed October 20, 2015. Practical Use of Ivabradine Starting dose is 5 mg twice daily Target HR is 50-60 bpm After 2 weeks: If HR >60 bpm: Increase dose to 7.5 mg twice daily (Max dose) If HR 50-60 bpm: Maintain initial dose If HR <50 bpm or symptomatic bradycardia: Lower dose to 2.5 mg twice daily If HR <50 bpm or symptomatic bradycardia and dose is 2.5 mg twice daily: Discontinue 21

Definition of Heart Failure- ACC/AHA 2013 Classification I. Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) Ejection Fraction Description 40% Also referred to as systolic HF. Randomized clinical trials have mainly enrolled patients with HFrEF and it is only in these patients that efficacious therapies have been demonstrated to date. II. Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) 50% Also referred to as diastolic HF. Several different criteria have been used to further define HFpEF. The diagnosis of HFpEF is challenging because it is largely one of excluding other potential noncardiac causes of symptoms suggestive of HF. To date, efficacious therapies have not been identified. a. HFpEF, Borderline 41% to 49% These patients fall into a borderline or intermediate group. Their characteristics, treatment patterns, and outcomes appear similar to those of patient with HFpEF. b. HFpEF, Improved >40% It has been recognized that a subset of patients with HFpEF previously had HFrEF. These patients with improvement or recovery in EF may be clinically distinct from those with persistently preserved or reduced EF. Further research is needed to better characterize these patients.
