Abstract

Aim Intravenous ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) has been shown to improve overall quality of life in iron-deficient heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients at a trial population level. This FAIR-HF and CONFIRM-HF pooled analysis explored the likelihood of individual improvement or deterioration in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) domains with FCM versus placebo and evaluated the stability of this response over time. Methods and results Changes versus baseline in KCCQ overall summary score (OSS), clinical summary score (CSS) and total symptom score (TSS) were assessed at weeks 12 and 24 in FCM and placebo groups. Mean between-group differences were estimated and individual responder analyses and analyses of response stability were performed. Overall, 760 (FCM, n = 454) patients were studied. At week 12, the mean improvement in KCCQ OSS was 10.6 points with FCM versus 4.8 points with placebo (least-square mean difference [95% confidence interval, CI] 4.36 [2.14; 6.59] points). A higher proportion of patients on FCM versus placebo experienced a KCCQ OSS improvement of >= 5 (58.3% vs. 43.5%; odds ratio [95% CI] 1.81 [1.30; 2.51]), >= 10 (42.4% vs. 29.3%; 1.73 [1.23; 2.43]) or >= 15 (32.1% vs. 22.6%; 1.46 [1.02; 2.11]) points. Differences were similar at week 24 and for CSS and TSS domains. Of FCM patients with a >= 5-, >= 10- or >= 15-point improvement in KCCQ OSS at week 12, >75% sustained this improvement at week 24. Conclusion Treatment of iron-deficient HFrEF patients with intravenous FCM conveyed clinically relevant improvements in health status at an individual-patient level; benefits were sustained over time in most patients.

Abstract

Background Placement of an interatrial shunt device reduces pulmonary capillary wedge pressure during exercise in patients with heart failure and preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction. We aimed to investigate whether an interatrial shunt can reduce heart failure events or improve health status in these patients.Methods In this randomised, international, blinded, sham-controlled trial performed at 89 health-care centres, we included patients (aged >= 40 years) with symptomatic heart failure, an ejection fraction of at least 40%, and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure during exercise of at least 25 mm Hg while exceeding right atrial pressure by at least 5 mm Hg. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either a shunt device or sham procedure. Patients and outcome assessors were masked to randomisation. The primary endpoint was a hierarchical composite of cardiovascular death or non-fatal ischemic stroke at 12 months, rate of total heart failure events up to 24 months, and change in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire overall summary score at 12 months. Pre-specified subgroup analyses were conducted for the heart failure event endpoint. Analysis of the primary endpoint, all other efficacy endpoints, and safety endpoints was conducted in the modified intention-to-treat population, defined as all patients randomly allocated to receive treatment, excluding those found to be ineligible after randomisation and therefore not treated. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03088033.Findings Between May 25, 2017, and July 24, 2020, 1072 participants were enrolled, of whom 626 were randomly assigned to either the atrial shunt device (n=314) or sham procedure (n=312). There were no differences between groups in the primary composite endpoint (win ratio 1.0 [95% CI 0.8-1.2]; p=0.85) or in the individual components of the primary endpoint. The prespecified subgroups demonstrating a differential effect of atrial shunt device treatment on heart failure events were pulmonary artery systolic pressure at 20W of exercise (p(interaction)=0.002 [>70 mm Hg associated with worse outcomes]), right atrial volume index (p(interaction)=0.012 [>= 29.7 mL/m(2), worse outcomes]), and sex (p(interaction=)0.02 [men, worse outcomes]). There were no differences in the composite safety endpoint between the two groups (n=116 [38%] for shunt device vs n=97 [31%] for sham procedure; p=0.11).Interpretation Placement of an atrial shunt device did not reduce the total rate of heart failure events or improve health status in the overall population of patients with heart failure and ejection fraction of greater than or equal to 40%.

Abstract

OBJECTIVEMicrovascular complications are common among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). The presence of heart failure (HF) is presumed to be due to macrovascular disease (typically HF with reduced ejection fraction [HFrEF] following myocardial infarction). We hypothesized that HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in patients with DM may be a manifestation of microvascular disease compared with HFrEF. The objective of this study was to examine the prevalence and association with clinical outcome of microvascular complications in patients with HF and DM.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSWe investigated the prevalence, association with clinical outcome, and cardiac structure and function of microvascular (neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy) complications of DM in 2,800 prospectively enrolled participants with HF and DM (561 with HFpEF) from the Asian Sudden Cardiac Death In Heart Failure (ASIAN-HF) registry.RESULTSA total of 601 (21.5%) participants with DM had microvascular complications. Participants with DM and any (one or more) microvascular complications were more likely to have HFpEF (odds ratio 1.70 [95% CI 1.15–2.50]; P = 0.008). Furthermore, the likelihood of having HFpEF increased with an increasing number of microvascular complications (Ptrend < 0.001). Microvascular complications were associated with more left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and a greater reduction in quality of life in HFpEF than HFrEF (Pinteraction < 0.001 for all). Compared with participants with DM and without microvascular complications, the adjusted hazard ratio for the composite outcome of all-cause death or HF hospitalization was 1.35 (95% CI 1.04–1.76) for participants with DM and microvascular complications regardless of HF type (Pinteraction = 0.112).CONCLUSIONSDiabetic microvascular disease is more common, and related to greater LV remodeling, more impairment of quality in life, and similar adverse outcomes, in participants with HFpEF compared with HFrEF. HFpEF may be a clinical manifestation of microvascular disease in DM.

Abstract

Background: Comorbidities play a major role in heart failure. Whether prevalence and prognostic importance of comorbidities differ between heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), mid-range (HFmrEF) or reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is unknown.Methods: Patients from index (n=2516) and validation cohort (n=1738) of The BIOlogy Study to TAilored Treatment in Chronic Heart Failure (BIOSTAT-CHF) were pooled. Eight non-cardiac comorbidities were assessed; diabetes mellitus, thyroid dysfunction, obesity, anaemia, chronic kidney disease (CKD, estimated glomerular filtration rate Results: Patients with complete comorbidity data were included (n=3499). Most prevalent comorbidity was CKD (50%). All comorbidities showed the highest prevalence in HFpEF, except for stroke. Prevalences of HFmrEF were in between the other entities. COPD was the comorbidity associated with the greatest reduction in QoL. In HFrEF, almost all were associated with a significant reduction in QoL, while in HFpEF only CKD and obesity were associated with a reduction. Most comorbidities in HFrEF were associated with an increased mortality risk, while in HFpEF only CKD, anaemia and COPD were associated with higher mortality risks.Conclusions: The highest prevalence of comorbidities was seen in patients with HFpEF. Overall, comorbidities were associated with a lower QoL, but this was more pronounced in patients with HFrEF. Most comorbidities were associated with higher mortality risks, although the associations with diabetes were only present in patients with HFrEF. (c) 2018 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Abstract

Background The VITALITY-HFpEF trial (Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of the Oral sGC Stimulator Vericiguat to Improve Physical Functioning in Daily Living Activities of Patients With Heart Failure and Preserved Ejection Fraction) is designed to determine the efficacy and safety of a novel oral soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator, vericiguat, on quality of life and exercise tolerance in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Impaired physical functioning reduces the quality of life in patients with HFpEF. The primary goal of HF treatment along with improving survival is to improve function, reduce symptoms, and maximize quality of life. Abnormal cyclic guanosine monophosphate signaling may contribute to physical limitations in patients with HFpEF via central and peripheral mechanisms. Exploratory post hoc analyses from a prior trial showed that vericiguat can improve patient-relevant domains of the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire, especially the physical limitation score. Methods and Results VITALITY-HFpEF is a placebo-controlled, double-blind, multi-center, phase IIb trial of ≈735 patients, ≥45 years with HFpEF and ejection fraction ≥45% who will be randomized 1:1:1 to placebo, 10 mg, or 15 mg vericiguat. The primary end point is change in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire physical limitation score from baseline to week 24 and change in 6-minute walk test from baseline to week 24 is the secondary end point. Conclusions VITALITY-HFpEF is the first trial designed to assess the efficacy of vericiguat in patients with HFpEF using the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire physical limitation score as a novel primary end point. This study will also extend the prior dosing experience with vericiguat in HF by studying the safety and efficacy of a 15 mg dose. Clinical Trial Registration URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov .

Abstract

Background: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), traditionally considered a disease of the elderly, may also affect younger patients. However, little is known about HFpEF in the young. Methods: We prospectively enrolled 1203 patients with HFpEF (left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50%) from 11 Asian regions. We grouped HFpEF patients into very young ( Results: Thirty-seven percent of our HFpEF population was 2 ; 36% in very young HFpEF versus 16% in elderly) together with less renal impairment, atrial fibrillation, and hypertension (all P P Conclusions: Young and very young patients with HFpEF display similar adverse cardiac remodeling compared with their older counterparts and very poor outcomes compared with control subjects without heart failure. Obesity may be a major driver of HFpEF in a high proportion of HFpEF in the young and very young.

Abstract

Despite major advances in the treatment of chronic heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), morbidity and mortality associated with the condition remain high, suggesting the need for additional treatment options, particularly haemodynamically neutral treatments that do not alter blood pressure, heart rate, or renal function. HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is also associated with high morbidity and mortality and adequate treatment options are limited; thus there is a critical unmet need for the development of novel therapies for HFpEF. Chronic HFrEF and HFpEF are both systemic disorders that affect not only the heart but several other tissues and organs including skeletal muscle, leading to exercise intolerance and dyspnoea. Partial adenosine A1-receptor agonists represent a novel potential therapy for HF regardless of underlying ejection fraction given their minimal effect on heart rate and blood pressure, and preclinical data demonstrate several possible beneficial mechanisms, including improved mitochondrial function and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA2a) activity, enhanced energy substrate utilization, reverse ventricular remodelling, and anti-ischemic, cardioprotective properties. However, data on this class of drugs in humans are scarce, and the optimal dose of the partial adenosine A1 receptor, neladenoson bialanate, has not been defined. Here we describe the design and rationale of two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, dose-finding phase 2b trials, PANTHEON (HFrEF) and PANACHE (HFpEF), that will advance our understanding of the potential benefit and optimal dose of neladenoson bialanate and provide critical information for the planning of future phase 3 trials.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Patients with systolic heart failure and anemia have worse symptoms, functional capacity, and outcomes than those without anemia. We evaluated the effects of darbepoetin alfa on clinical outcomes in patients with systolic heart failure and anemia. METHODS: In this randomized, double-blind trial, we assigned 2278 patients with systolic heart failure and mild-to-moderate anemia (hemoglobin level, 9.0 to 12.0 g per deciliter) to receive either darbepoetin alfa (to achieve a hemoglobin target of 13 g per deciliter) or placebo. The primary outcome was a composite of death from any cause or hospitalization for worsening heart failure. RESULTS: The primary outcome occurred in 576 of 1136 patients (50.7%) in the darbepoetin alfa group and 565 of 1142 patients (49.5%) in the placebo group (hazard ratio in the darbepoetin alfa group, 1.01; 95% confidence interval, 0.90 to 1.13; P=0.87). There was no significant between-group difference in any of the secondary outcomes. The neutral effect of darbepoetin alfa was consistent across all prespecified subgroups. Fatal or nonfatal stroke occurred in 42 patients (3.7%) in the darbepoetin alfa group and 31 patients (2.7%) in the placebo group (P=0.23). Thromboembolic adverse events were reported in 153 patients (13.5%) in the darbepoetin alfa group and 114 patients (10.0%) in the placebo group (P=0.01). Cancer-related adverse events were similar in the two study groups. CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with darbepoetin alfa did not improve clinical outcomes in patients with systolic heart failure and mild-to-moderate anemia. Our findings do not support the use of darbepoetin alfa in these patients. (Funded by Amgen; RED-HF ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00358215.). Fil: Swedberg, Karl.
