HF-rEF Treatment:
ACE INHIBITORS
Place in therapy for All Stages?
ALL Pts in Stage C/D
+
ALL ASx pts in Stage B
DELAYS onset of Sxs & 1st HF hospitilization
High Risk Patients in Stage A (just at risk, no SXs)
Vascular Disease = PAD / PVD / Stroke
DM + 1 CV Risk Factor
OR
DM + Smoking / MicroAlbuminuria
HF-rEF Treatment:
BETA BLOCKERS
Place in therapy for All Stages?
ALL Pts in Stage B/C/D
↓ HF symptoms + ↓Hospitalizations
SLOWS HF Progression:
↓incidence of sudden death (Ventricular fibrillation)
HIGH DOSE:
↓ mortality/hospitalizations, ↑ ejection fraction
HF-rEF Treatment:
DIURETICS
Place in therapy for All Stages?
Management of FLUID OVERLOAD** in **Stage C+D
Most LOOP diuretics
Thiazides for MILD fluid overload = better HTN drug
Clinical Benefit:
- *SYMPTOMATIC ONLY**
- no effect on MORTALITY*
Stage A + B –> only for HTN
HF-rEF Treatment:
ARA’s
Spironolactone / Eplerenone
Place in therapy for All Stages?
STAGE C/D
NYHA FC 2-3 w/ SYMPTOMS
&
Stage B/C
Post MI / EF<40 / HF Symptoms or DM
Clinical Benefits:
↓ hospitalizations, mortality
IMPROVED SYMPTOMS
decreases fibrosis/remodeling
consider in STAGE B resistant HTN
HF-rEF Treatment:
Hydralazine + Isosorbide
Place in therapy for All Stages?
AFRICAN AMERICANS
In addition to OPTIMAL THERAPY of RAAS-1 + BB in Class 3-4
↓ mortality & ↓ hospitalizations for HF
Alternate Therapy for those UNABLE to take ACE/ARB
due to intolerance or contraindication
Ex. Pregnancy / Angioadema / Advanced Kidney Disease
HF-rEF Treatment:
ENTRESTO
Sacubutril/Valsartan?
Place in therapy for All Stages?
REPLACES ACE/ARB
for patients with:
SYMPTOMATIC HFr-EF Class 2-3
↓ hospitalizations from HF + ↓CV mortality
- *Need BP >100mmHg**
- due to greater DROP in BP*
HF-rEF Treatment:
CORLANOR
Ivabradine
Place in therapy for All Stages?
ADD to Std therapy (ACE/ARB + BB)
BB should be at TARGET or MAX tolerated dose
in patients with:
Symptomatic HFr-EF FC2-3
AND:
RESTING HR > 70bpm
- *↓ hospitalizations and death from HF
- No overall mortality benefit***
HF-rEF Treatment:
DIGOXIN
Place in therapy for All Stages?
Added to Std of Care in SYMPTOMATIC HFr-EF
NOT ADDRESSED in 2017 GUIDELINES
only studies are from OLD treatment protocols
↓Hospitilizations
BUT:
NO effect on MORTALITY
HF-rEF DOSING:
ACE INHIBITORS
- *ENALAPRIL**
- *2.5-5** BID > 10mg BID
- *LISINOPRIL**
- *2.5-5 qd** > 20-40mg qd
- *Ramipril**
- *1.25-2.5 qd > 10mg qd**
MAXIMIZE DOSE EVEN IF BP IS NORMAL
STILL A REDUCTION IN MORTALITY
