PROGRESSION OF HF

Stages of CHF

The initial stage of heart disease (damage). Hemodynamics are not disturbed, hidden heart failure.

Asymptomatic LV dysfunction.

Clinically pronounced stage of heart disease (damage). Hemodynamic disturbances in one of the blood circulation circles (moderately expressed).

Adaptive remodeling of the heart and blood vessels.

Stages of CHF (continued)

Severe stage of heart disease (damage), pronounced changes in hemodynamics in both circulations.

Maladaptive remodeling of the heart and blood vessels.

The final stage of cardiac damage, pronounced changes in hemodynamics and severe (irreversible) structural changes in target organs (heart, lungs, blood vessels, brain, kidneys).

The final stage of organ remodeling.

Functional classes of CHF

Fundamentals of anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular systemThe heart is a hollow muscular
body performing
pump function. In an adult
its volume and mass are
on average 600-800 cm3 and 250330 g The heart consists of
four cameras - left
atrium (LA), left
ventricle (LV), right
atrium (AA) and right
ventricle (RV), all of them
separated by partitions.
The RA includes the vena cava, the LA
- pulmonary veins. From RV and LV
come out accordingly
pulmonary artery (pulmonary
trunk) and ascending aorta.

Conditionally, in the body
a person is separated
small and large circles
blood circulation In small
circle of blood circulation -
right ventricle
pulmonary vessels and left
atrium - occurs
exchange of blood with external
environment. It's in the lungs
she gets enough
oxygen and
exempt from
carbon dioxide.
Big circle
represented by left
ventricle, aorta,
arteries, veins and
right atrium, he
created for
implementation
blood supply of all
body.

Chronic heart failure

Pathological condition
in which the CVS is not
capable of delivering
organs and tissues
required amount
blood for their normal
functioning at rest
and under load
(physical,
emotional and
diseases).

Chronic failure
blood circulation develops when
the heart is affected and impaired
contractile function.

Causes

Heart damage due to myocarditis,
diffuse atherosclerotic and
post-infarction cardiosclerosis, defects
hearts and pericarditis, etc.

Stage I

Initial (hidden). Subjective
(shortness of breath, palpitations, weakness) and
objective signs of NK appear
only during physical activity. IN
At rest there are no symptoms.

Stage II

The presence of subjective and objective
signs of NK as in physical
under load and at rest.
IIA- The phenomenon of stagnation and disruption
organ functions are poorly expressed or
moderate, more often manifested moderately.
IIB - congestion is pronounced
stronger and always present at rest.

Stage III

Final (dystrophic). Total
heart failure.
Marked congestion in organs,
multiple organ failure
due to structural and morphological changes.

Main symptoms

The first clinical signs
chronic cardiac
failures are: tachycardia,
shortness of breath, cyanosis and edema.

Symptoms

shortness of breath on exertion or (in
in advanced cases) at rest;
cardiopalmus;
pale or bluish skin tone,
especially those far from the heart
areas of the body (fingers, toes, lips);
swelling (primarily of the legs);
pain in the right hypochondrium,
associated with congestion of the liver veins;
increased fatigue.

Tachycardia

In the early stages of cardiac
deficiency is
compensatory mechanism
aimed at maintaining
normal heart function. At
progression of cardiac
insufficiency tachycardia becomes
permanent and loses its
compensatory properties. She herself
helps weaken the myocardium. On
this stage requires treatment
disturbed heart rhythm.

dyspnea

Appears at the beginning only when
physical activity, at stage 2 already in
resting position. The appearance of shortness of breath
early stages of cardiac
deficiency contributes to stagnation in
ICC - initially of a transitory nature,
occurring only during physical
load. Night cough may occur
the first symptom of the initial transition
stage into a more pronounced, weakening
left ventricle.

Cyanosis

Occurs in the early stages of
load, and then at rest. At
heart failure occurs
peripheral cyanosis as opposed to
central, conditioned
respiratory diseases.

Liver enlargement

Clinical symptom of deficiency
right ventricle.
At grade 1 - not palpable
At grade 2 – a protruding,
diseased liver.
At 3 tbsp - dense, with a pointed edge
liver (cardiac cirrhosis)

Edema

Arise as a result of a violation
contractile function of the myocardium,
decreased renal blood flow, etc.
Diuresis becomes small, urine
has a high concentration, contains
protein, red blood cells.
1st stage – swelling is not noticeable
Stage 2-3 – edema manifests itself in the form of ascites
and hydrothorox

Complaints at stage 1

Poor sleep, mild cyanosis, decreased
ability to work.
During period A – no complaints, but
physical and emotional stress
lead to increased blood pressure and decreased
cardiac output by 10-20%.
During period B – characterized by all
symptoms 1 tbsp. turning into
stagnation of the ICC under load conditions.

Complaints at stage 2

Shortness of breath occurs quickly and is constant
tachycardia, increased heart size,
shortness of breath, cough with sputum. Violation

During period A – the beginning of the stage, violations
hemodynamics are insignificant, disturbance
functions of the heart or its department, congestive
liver phenomena.
During period B – the end of the second stage:
profound hemodynamic disturbances, swelling on
legs, congestion of the liver, its
significant increase.

Complaints at stage 3

The above phenomena are significantly
increase: increased cyanosis, shortness of breath
observed in a state of rest, swelling
reach the lower back, abdominal cavity
and chest. Patients can sleep
only in a semi-sitting position.
The heart is significantly enlarged, the pulse
arrhythmic, weak filling,
soft. Patients die while growing
phenomena of insufficiency
blood circulation

Epidemiology

CHF affects 0.4% to 2% of adults
population. Among older people
75 years its prevalence may
reach 10%. Risk with age
development of heart failure
gradually increases. Among all
patients visiting medical
Russian institutions, 38.6% available

New York classification
Heart Association (NYHA FC)
is about 10%, with FC II - 20
%, with FC III - 40%, with FC IV - more than 60
%. Despite the introduction of new
methods of therapy, mortality rate
patients with CHF does not decrease.

Principles of treatment and patient care

Goals of therapy

The goals of treatment for CHF are:
eliminating or minimizing clinical
symptoms of CHF - increased fatigue,
palpitations, shortness of breath, swelling;
protection of target organs - blood vessels, heart,
kidneys, brain (similar to
hypertension therapy), as well as prevention
development of striated hypotrophy
muscles;
improving quality of life;
increase in life expectancy
reduction in the number of hospitalizations.

Chronic heart failure is the inability of the cardiovascular system to provide the organs and tissues of the body with a sufficient amount of blood. Chronic heart failure develops when the function of the heart, namely its muscular layer (myocardium), is impaired. In this case, the heart muscle (myocardium) is unable to expel (push) blood from the heart into the vessels under increased pressure. In other words, the heart is “like a pump”, it does not cope with its job and cannot pump blood well.


Main causes: Myocardial infarction. Because damage to the heart during a heart attack or the remaining scar after it prevents the heart muscle from contracting fully and reduces the contractility of the myocardium. Arterial hypertension. Because a systematic increase in blood pressure does not allow the heart muscle to contract adequately. Heart defects prevent proper blood circulation, due to a congenital disorder or acquired change in the “architecture” of the heart. Cardiomyopathies, by expanding, narrowing and thickening the walls of the heart, reduce the contractility of the myocardium.



Cardiac (related to heart disease) Myocardial infarction. Cardiac arrhythmias. Non-cardiac (diseases not related to the heart). Respiratory tract infections, pneumonia. Diseases of the thyroid gland (thyrotoxicosis). Chronic renal failure. Physical and emotional stress. Abuse of alcohol, liquids, salt. Pulmonary embolism (blockage of the blood supply to the lungs by a blood clot).


Medicines that can provoke the development of CHF: Arrhythmic drugs (except amiodarone). Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), glucocorticoid hormones. Calcium antagonists (medicines used to treat hypertension). Antitumor agents. Sympathomimetics are drugs that stimulate a certain part of the nervous system (terbutaline, tyramine). Antidepressants (tricyclics). Antimalarial drugs. Drugs (heroin). Vasodilators (vasodilators - diazoxide, hydralazine). Analgesics (acetamifene). Medicines that lower blood pressure (reserpine). Physical effects (radiation, high and low temperatures, cigarette smoke).


Due to the weakening of the contractile force of the myocardium, the effective blood volume decreases, which reduces the flow of oxygen to the tissues and the outflow of metabolic products from them. Thus, in the early stages of failure, tissue metabolism or microcirculation is disrupted, which is especially pronounced at the time of physical stress (N.D. Strazhesko, V.Kh. Vasilenko, R.G. Mezhebovsky, L.P. Pressman, etc.). The development of oxygen starvation of tissues due to the slow transport of blood oxygen is to a certain extent compensated by the increased use of oxygen by tissues, which leads to an increase in the arteriovenous difference in oxygen content. However, a decrease in oxygen tension in venous blood below 20 mmHg. Art. incompatible with life due to paralysis of vital centers in the medulla oblongata. The immediate result of a discrepancy between the supply of oxygen and the need for it in tissues is a disruption of carbohydrate metabolism, phosphorylation processes, and protein synthesis. This leads to irreversible degenerative processes in organs. Disruption of microcirculation is facilitated by sodium and water retention in the body of a patient with chronic circulatory failure. The latter leads to an increase in the extra- and intracellular volume of fluid. This makes it even more difficult to supply tissues with oxygenated blood. Retrograde long-term stagnation of blood in vital organs (lungs, liver) leads to the development of fibrosis in them, damage to functioning cells, which in turn aggravates the hemodynamic condition and worsens the course of the disease.

Functional classification of chronic heart failure of the New York Heart Association (NYHA, 1964): 1 FC: Physical activity does not cause oral discomfort (increased fatigue, shortness of breath, palpitations, etc.) 2 FC: Physical activity causes moderate, insignificant discomfort 3 FK: Physical activity causes significant discomfort. The patient feels well at rest. 4 FC: Minimal physical activity causes discomfort, which is present at rest and increases with activity.


Relative correspondence of stages according to N.D. Strazhesko and NYHA: CHF 1a stage 1 FC according to NYHA CHF 1b stage 2 FC according to NYHA CHF 2a stage 3 FC according to NYHA CHF 2b - 3 stages 4 FC according to NYHA Classification of chronic heart failure (CHF): When formulating a diagnosis, two classifications are taken into account, (described early), first indicate the stage and period according to the classification of N.D. Strazhesko, then according to NYHA, for example: CHF 2a, FC 3.



Crepitation and fine bubbling rales in the lower parts of both lungs, which do not disappear after vigorous coughing and are not caused by inflammatory infiltration in the lungs. Dilatation of the left ventricle. The emphasis of the second tone is on the pulmonary artery. The appearance of a pathological III tone and a proto-diastolic gallop rhythm (left ventricular, better audible in the region of the apex of the heart). Alternating pulse. Absence of peripheral edema, congestive hepatomegaly, ascites.


The main clinical symptoms of chronic right ventricular failure: Severe acrocyanosis (blue lips, ears, tip of the nose, cold cyanotic hands, feet), swollen veins of the neck, hydrothorax, congestive hepatomegaly, positive Plesch test (hepato-jugular, abdomino-jugular reflux). Peripheral edema (primarily in the area of ​​the legs, feet, with further spread upward), ascites, and possible development of cirrhosis of the liver. Dilatation of the right ventricle (not always determined by percussion due to the often accompanying emphysema and forward rotation of the heart by the right ventricle) Epigastric pulsation, synchronous with the activity of the heart (caused by contraction of the right ventricle). Systolic murmur of tricuspid regurgitation (relative tricuspid valve regurgitation due to severe dilatation of the right ventricle) Right ventricular protodiastolic gallop rhythm




Instrumental studies: ECG (electrocardiography). Echocardiography (ultrasound) of the heart (determines myocardial contractility). Catheterization of the heart cavities. Coronary angiography (X-ray contrast method for studying the vessels of the heart). Phonocardiography (determination of heart sounds and heart murmurs). Chest X-ray. CT scan.




Regimen: the patient’s activity should not exceed the capabilities of the cardiovascular system. At stage I of CHF, semi-bed rest is prescribed for 5-7 days, then increased physical activity is limited: at stage II (period A), semi-bed rest is indicated, and at stages 11B and III, bed rest is indicated. The duration of bed rest depends on the course of CHF. With very strict and prolonged bed rest, the risk of developing phlebothrombosis and pulmonary embolism increases. These patients are prescribed breathing exercises and frequent changes in body position. Mental peace is achieved by observing a therapeutic regimen and using sedatives (bromides, valerian, motherwort, minor tranquilizers). The diet should be rich in vitamins, which are administered in double doses; salt and liquid restriction is indicated. It is necessary to monitor bowel function. In stage I CHF, the amount of table salt is reduced to 5-6 g per day (10 tables). At stages II and III - up to 3 g/day (10a table). In case of severe edematous syndrome, a sharply hypochloride diet is indicated - no more than 1 g of salt per day. Along with salt restriction, fluid restriction is necessary (up to 1 l/day). Against the background of this diet, fasting days (milk, curd, fruit, etc.) are prescribed, which are especially indicated for patients with excess body weight.


Drug treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF) Aimed at reducing the manifestations of the disease and improving the quality of life, prognosis for future life and the fight to reduce the risk of sudden death from CHF. 1. ACE inhibitors (adenosine converting enzyme inhibitors) are a group of medications that help: Reduce the risk of sudden death. Slowing the progression of CHF. Improvement of the course of the disease. Improving the patient's quality of life. These include: Captopril. Quinapril. Enalapril. Ramipril. Fosinopril. Lisinopril. The effect of the therapy may appear within the first 48 hours.


2. Diuretics (diuretics) They can significantly improve the condition of a patient with CHF. Quickly relieve swelling within a few hours. Reduce the volume of fluid in the body. Reduces the load on the heart. Dilate blood vessels. Quickly, effectively and safely eliminate fluid retention in the body, regardless of the cause of CHF. These include: Furosemide. Lasix. Hydrochlorothiazide. Spironaloctone. Torsemide. Triamterene. Amiloride.


3. Cardiac glycosides are medications that are the “gold standard” in the treatment of CHF. Increase myocardial contractility. Improving blood circulation. Reduces the load on the heart. They have a diuretic effect. Slow down heart rate. Reduce the risk of hospitalization. These include: Digoxin. Digitoxin. Korglykon.


4. Antiarrhythmic drugs are drugs that prevent the development of arrhythmia and reduce the risk of sudden death. These include Amiodarone. 5. Anticoagulants are medications that prevent blood thickening and the formation of blood clots. These include Warfarin. It is indicated for patients after thromboembolism, atrial fibrillation (with atrial fibrillation), for the prevention of thrombosis and sudden death. 6. Metabolic therapy is the use of medications that improve metabolism, nourish the heart muscle and protect it from ischemic effects. These include: ATP (adenosine triphosphoric acid). Cocarboxylase. Potassium preparations (panangin, asparkam, calyposis). Magnesium preparations. Thiotriazolin. Vitamin E. Riboxin. Mildronate. Preductal MR. Mexican.


Prognosis It is estimated that about 50% of patients diagnosed with heart failure live with this disease for more than 5 years. However, the prognosis for each individual patient depends on the severity of the disease, concomitant diseases, age, effectiveness of therapy, lifestyle and much more. Treatment of this disease has the following goals: improving the functioning of the left ventricle of the heart, restoring work capacity and improving the patient’s quality of life. Treatment of heart failure, begun at the earliest stages, significantly improves the patient's life prognosis.

Presentation of chronic heart failure and cytokine system

The cardiodepressive properties of cytokines, their ability to influence myocardial remodeling, and participation in both systolic and diastolic dysfunction have been established experimentally and clinically. The important prognostic value of IL-1 and IL 6 has been shown, which make it possible to determine further course and presentation of chronic heart failure. Along with studies confirming the participation of the cytokine system TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 in the pathogenesis of CHF, there are studies in which no significant manifestations of cytokineogenesis were found in CHF. Despite individual differences in the vascular effects of cytokines, one should remember the existence of a single functional complex of cytokines or the “tandem of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6,” which are almost always formed and act in combination and constitute a single cytokine network of interconnected components at different levels. The pathogenetic mechanisms underlying cytokine-induced myocardial pathology are very diverse (Fig. 1.2). One of them may be associated with the synergistic activity of the TNF-α system and other cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, IFN-g) regarding the expression of the inducible form of NO synthetase (NOS2) in cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells of myocardial microvessels. NO and the toxic product formed during the interaction of NO and superoxide anions, peroxynitrite, have the ability to significantly reduce myocardial contractility.

Rice. 1. The role of cytokines in the development and presentation of chronic heart failure (according to R. Kelly, T. Smith (1997) as modified by E.L. Nasonova et al. (1999)

TNF-α-dependent expression of NOS2 in endothelial and smooth muscle cells of the vascular wall, combined with a decrease in the expression of the “constitutive” form of NO and activation of the SAS and RAAS, is essential in the development of decreased exercise tolerance. The latter is associated with a weakening of vascular dilation in response to physiological stimuli, a decrease in strength and endurance, and an increase in skeletal muscle catabolism. It has been established that NO induction in response to TNF cytokine system is associated with increased cardiomyocyte apoptosis. An important aspect of the role of the cytokine system in CHF is their prognostic value. The prognostic significance of increased cytokine levels in patients with CHF was studied in the SOLVD studies, which showed that a TNF-α level of less than 6.5 pg/ml is prognostically more favorable, and increased levels of the TNF-α and IL-6 system cytokines are independent predictors death of patients with severe CHF. In the VEST study, circulating levels of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α system, IL-6) and cytokine receptors were independent predictors of mortality in patients with severe chronic heart failure with the presentation of clinical symptoms. Increased stagnation and increasing ischemia of peripheral tissues and the myocardium itself, autoimmune disorders, endotoxemia characteristic of heart failure can become the root cause of activation of the immune system and lead to an increase in TNF-α and other pro-inflammatory cytokines (Fig. 1). This “sequence” of events is indirectly confirmed by the directly proportional dependence of the TNF- level on severity of chronic heart failure and its presentation. However, most researchers assign the expression of proinflammatory cytokines the role of the root cause of the development and progression of CHF.

Scheme. Involvement of inflammatory mechanisms in the pathogenesis of chronic heart failure and its presentation (A.N. Korzh, 2003).

Thus, the mechanism for the implementation of the hemodynamic and clinical influence of proinflammatory cytokines in CHF consists of four components:

  1. negative inotropic effect
  2. cardiac remodeling (irreversible dilatation of cavities and hypertrophy of cardiomyocytes
  3. disorders of endothelium-dependent dilatation of arterioles
  4. enhancing the process of apoptosis of cardiomyocytes and peripheral muscle cells

2 Chronic heart failure is the inability of the cardiovascular system to provide the organs and tissues of the body with a sufficient amount of blood. Chronic heart failure develops when the function of the heart, namely its muscular layer (myocardium), is impaired. In this case, the heart muscle (myocardium) is unable to expel (push) blood from the heart into the vessels under increased pressure. In other words, the heart is “like a pump”, it does not cope with its job and cannot pump blood well.

3 Main causes: Myocardial infarction. Because damage to the heart during a heart attack or the remaining scar after it prevents the heart muscle from contracting fully and reduces the contractility of the myocardium. Arterial hypertension. Because a systematic increase in blood pressure does not allow the heart muscle to contract adequately. Heart defects prevent proper blood circulation, due to a congenital disorder or acquired change in the “architecture” of the heart. Cardiomyopathies, by expanding, narrowing and thickening the walls of the heart, reduce the contractility of the myocardium.

5 Cardiac (related to heart disease) Myocardial infarction. Cardiac arrhythmias. Non-cardiac (diseases not related to the heart). Respiratory tract infections, pneumonia. Diseases of the thyroid gland (thyrotoxicosis). Chronic renal failure. Physical and emotional stress. Abuse of alcohol, liquids, salt. Pulmonary embolism (blockage of the blood supply to the lungs by a blood clot).

6 Medicines that can provoke the development of CHF: Arrhythmic drugs (except amiodarone). Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), glucocorticoid hormones. Calcium antagonists (medicines used to treat hypertension). Antitumor agents. Sympathomimetics are drugs that stimulate a certain part of the nervous system (terbutaline, tyramine). Antidepressants (tricyclics). Antimalarial drugs. Drugs (heroin). Vasodilators (vasodilators - diazoxide, hydralazine). Analgesics (acetamifene). Medicines that lower blood pressure (reserpine). Physical effects (radiation, high and low temperatures, cigarette smoke).

7 Due to the weakening of the contractile force of the myocardium, the effective blood volume decreases, which reduces the flow of oxygen to the tissues and the outflow of metabolic products from them. Thus, in the early stages of failure, tissue metabolism or microcirculation is disrupted, which is especially pronounced at the time of physical stress (N.D. Strazhesko, V.Kh. Vasilenko, R.G. Mezhebovsky, L.P. Pressman, etc.). The development of oxygen starvation of tissues due to the slow transport of blood oxygen is to a certain extent compensated by the increased use of oxygen by tissues, which leads to an increase in the arteriovenous difference in oxygen content. However, a decrease in oxygen tension in venous blood below 20 mmHg. Art. incompatible with life due to paralysis of vital centers in the medulla oblongata. The immediate result of a discrepancy between the supply of oxygen and the need for it in tissues is a disruption of carbohydrate metabolism, phosphorylation processes, and protein synthesis. This leads to irreversible degenerative processes in organs. Disruption of microcirculation is facilitated by sodium and water retention in the body of a patient with chronic circulatory failure. The latter leads to an increase in the extra- and intracellular volume of fluid. This makes it even more difficult to supply tissues with oxygenated blood. Retrograde long-term stagnation of blood in vital organs (lungs, liver) leads to the development of fibrosis in them, damage to functioning cells, which in turn aggravates the hemodynamic condition and worsens the course of the disease.

10 Functional classification of chronic heart failure of the New York Heart Association (NYHA, 1964): 1 FC: Physical activity does not cause oral discomfort (increased fatigue, shortness of breath, palpitations, etc.) 2 FC: Physical activity causes moderate, insignificant discomfort 3 FC: Physical activity causes significant discomfort. The patient feels well at rest. 4 FC: Minimal physical activity causes discomfort, which is present at rest and increases with activity.

11 Relative correspondence of stages according to N.D. Strazhesko and NYHA: CHF 1a stage 1 FC according to NYHA CHF 1b stage 2 FC according to NYHA CHF 2a stage 3 FC according to NYHA CHF 2b - 3 stages 4 FC according to NYHA Classification of chronic heart failure (CHF): When formulating a diagnosis, two classifications are taken into account, (described early), first indicate the stage and period according to the classification of N.D. Strazhesko, then according to NYHA, for example: CHF 2a, FC 3.

13 Crepitation and fine bubbling rales in the lower parts of both lungs, which do not disappear after vigorous coughing and are not caused by inflammatory infiltration in the lungs. Dilatation of the left ventricle. The emphasis of the second tone is on the pulmonary artery. The appearance of a pathological III tone and a proto-diastolic gallop rhythm (left ventricular, better audible in the region of the apex of the heart). Alternating pulse. Absence of peripheral edema, congestive hepatomegaly, ascites.

14 The main clinical symptoms of chronic right ventricular failure: Severe acrocyanosis (blue lips, ears, tip of the nose, cold cyanotic hands, feet), swollen veins of the neck, hydrothorax, congestive hepatomegaly, positive Plesch test (hepato-jugular, abdomino-jugular reflux). Peripheral edema (primarily in the area of ​​the legs, feet, with further spread upward), ascites, and possible development of cirrhosis of the liver. Dilatation of the right ventricle (not always determined by percussion due to the often accompanying emphysema and forward rotation of the heart by the right ventricle) Epigastric pulsation, synchronous with the activity of the heart (caused by contraction of the right ventricle). Systolic murmur of tricuspid regurgitation (relative tricuspid valve regurgitation due to severe dilatation of the right ventricle) Right ventricular protodiastolic gallop rhythm

15 Laboratory tests: Complete blood count (hematocrit, red blood cells and hemoglobin). Biochemical blood test (determination of liver enzymes, cholesterol). Content of thyroid hormones in the blood.

16 Instrumental studies: ECG (electrocardiography). Echocardiography (ultrasound) of the heart (determines myocardial contractility). Catheterization of the heart cavities. Coronary angiography (X-ray contrast method for studying the vessels of the heart). Phonocardiography (determination of heart sounds and heart murmurs). Chest X-ray. CT scan.

17 Non-drug treatment of CHF Lifestyle correction. Rational nutrition Elimination of bad habits. If the condition is preserved (stable), exercise up to 45 minutes a day (according to how you feel). Physical rest during exacerbation of symptoms.

18 Mode: the patient’s activity should not exceed the capabilities of the cardiovascular system. At stage I of CHF, semi-bed rest is prescribed for 5-7 days, then increased physical activity is limited: at stage II (period A), semi-bed rest is indicated, and at stages 11B and III, bed rest is indicated. The duration of bed rest depends on the course of CHF. With very strict and prolonged bed rest, the risk of developing phlebothrombosis and pulmonary embolism increases. These patients are prescribed breathing exercises and frequent changes in body position. Mental peace is achieved by observing a therapeutic regimen and using sedatives (bromides, valerian, motherwort, minor tranquilizers). The diet should be rich in vitamins, which are administered in double doses; salt and liquid restriction is indicated. It is necessary to monitor bowel function. In stage I CHF, the amount of table salt is reduced to 5-6 g per day (10 tables). At stages II and III - up to 3 g/day (10a table). In case of severe edematous syndrome, a sharply hypochloride diet is indicated - no more than 1 g of salt per day. Along with salt restriction, fluid restriction is necessary (up to 1 l/day). Against the background of this diet, fasting days (milk, curd, fruit, etc.) are prescribed, which are especially indicated for patients with excess body weight.

19 Drug treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF) Aimed at reducing the manifestations of the disease and improving the quality of life, prognosis for future life and the fight to reduce the risk of sudden death from CHF. 1. ACE inhibitors (adenosine converting enzyme inhibitors) are a group of medications that help: Reduce the risk of sudden death. Slowing the progression of CHF. Improvement of the course of the disease. Improving the patient's quality of life. These include: Captopril. Quinapril. Enalapril. Ramipril. Fosinopril. Lisinopril. The effect of the therapy may appear within the first 48 hours.

20 2. Diuretics (diuretics) They can significantly improve the condition of a patient with CHF. Quickly relieve swelling within a few hours. Reduce the volume of fluid in the body. Reduces the load on the heart. Dilate blood vessels. Quickly, effectively and safely eliminate fluid retention in the body, regardless of the cause of CHF. These include: Furosemide. Lasix. Hydrochlorothiazide. Spironaloctone. Torsemide. Triamterene. Amiloride.

21 3. Cardiac glycosides are drugs that are the “gold standard” in the treatment of CHF. Increase myocardial contractility. Improving blood circulation. Reduces the load on the heart. They have a diuretic effect. Slow down heart rate. Reduce the risk of hospitalization. These include: Digoxin. Digitoxin. Korglykon.

22 4. Antiarrhythmic drugs are drugs that prevent the development of arrhythmia and reduce the risk of sudden death. These include Amiodarone. 5. Anticoagulants are medications that prevent blood thickening and the formation of blood clots. These include Warfarin. It is indicated for patients after thromboembolism, atrial fibrillation (with atrial fibrillation), for the prevention of thrombosis and sudden death. 6. Metabolic therapy is the use of medications that improve metabolism, nourish the heart muscle and protect it from ischemic effects. These include: ATP (adenosine triphosphoric acid). Cocarboxylase. Potassium preparations (panangin, asparkam, calyposis). Magnesium preparations. Thiotriazolin. Vitamin E. Riboxin. Mildronate. Preductal MR. Mexican.

23 Projections It is estimated that about 50% of patients diagnosed with heart failure live with this disease for more than 5 years. However, the prognosis for each individual patient depends on the severity of the disease, concomitant diseases, age, effectiveness of therapy, lifestyle and much more. Treatment of this disease has the following goals: improving the functioning of the left ventricle of the heart, restoring work capacity and improving the patient’s quality of life. Treatment of heart failure, begun at the earliest stages, significantly improves the patient's life prognosis.

Slide 3

Epidemiology (over 10 years) In the Russian Federation, 7% of the population (about 7.9 million people) have CHF. The prevalence of CHF is growing by an average of 1.2 people per 1000 population per year, especially among men 40-59 years old and women 70-89 years old. One of the reasons for this is inadequate treatment of coronary artery disease and arterial hypertension (AH). In Russia, over the past 10 years, the prevalence of CHF has increased from 4-5% to 7-8% of the population. The main causes of CHF are ischemic heart disease and hypertension. A combination of them occurs in half of the patients. More than half of patients with obvious heart failure have almost normal myocardial contractility (LVEF more than 50%). Atrial fibrillation aggravates the course of CHF, occurring in every tenth of all patients with CHF and in 45% of patients with CHF class III-IV. The annual mortality rate for patients with CHF is 6%, and for patients with clinically significant CHF – 12%. About 612 thousand such patients die in the Russian Federation in 1 year. prezentacija.biz

Slide 4

Heart failure is a pathophysiological syndrome in which, as a result of one or another disease of the cardiovascular system, a decrease in pumping function occurs, which leads to an imbalance between the hemodynamic need of the body and the capabilities of the heart (European recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of CHF).

Slide 5

CHF is not only a syndrome. The development of CHF occurs according to uniform pathophysiological laws, regardless of the etiology of the damage. Therefore, CHF is not only a complex symptom complex that complicates the course of any disease of the cardiovascular system, but also an independent nosological form.

Slide 6

CHF is a disease with a complex of characteristic symptoms (shortness of breath, fatigue and decreased physical activity, edema, etc.), which are associated with inadequate perfusion of organs and tissues at rest or during exercise, often with fluid retention in the body.

Slide 7

The cause of CHF is a deterioration in the ability of the heart to fill or empty, caused by myocardial damage, as well as an imbalance of vasoconstrictor and vasodilating neurohumoral systems.

Slide 8

Causes of HF associated with myocardial disease IHD Characteristic clinical picture Arterial hypertension Often – left ventricular hypertrophy and preserved ejection fraction Cardiomyopathies Familial (genetic) and non-familial (non-genetic, including acquired, for example, myocarditis) Drugs Beta blockers, calcium antagonists, antiarrhythmic, cytotoxic Toxins Alcohol, cocaine, trace elements (mercury, cobalt, arsenic) Endocrine diseases Diabetes mellitus, hypo/hyperthyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, adrenal insufficiency, acromegaly, pheochromocytoma Nutritional disorders Deficiency of thiamine, selenium, carnitine, obesity, cachexia Infiltrative diseases Sarcoidosis, amyloidosis, hemochromatosis, collagenoses Other Chagas disease, HIV infection, postpartum cardiomyopathy, end-stage renal failure

Key factors in the development and progression of CHF Disease of the cardiovascular system Decreased cardiac output Retention of sodium and excess fluid in the body Chronic hyperactivation of tissue neurohormones of the sympathetic-adrenal system and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS)

Slide 15

Slide 16

Slide 17

Classification of CHF by stages (the stage of each patient may worsen, despite treatment) Stage I The initial stage of heart disease (damage). Hemodynamics are not impaired. Hidden CH. Asymptomatic LV dysfunction. Stage II A Clinically pronounced stage of heart disease (damage). Hemodynamics are moderately disturbed in one of the blood circulation circles. Adaptive remodeling of the heart and blood vessels. Stage II B Severe stage of heart disease (damage). Hemodynamics are clearly disturbed in both circulation circles. Maladaptive remodeling of the heart and blood vessels. Stage III The final stage of heart disease (damage). Hemodynamics are clearly disturbed in both circulation circles. Irreversible changes in target organs (heart, lungs, blood vessels, brain, kidneys). The final stage of organ remodeling.

Slide 18

Classification of CHF by functional classes (OSSN, 2002). FC may increase or decrease during treatment. I FC There is no restriction on physical activity. Habitual exercise does not cause symptoms of heart failure. Increased stress may be accompanied by shortness of breath or delayed recovery. II FC Minor limitation of physical activity. There are no symptoms at rest. Habitual physical activity is accompanied by fatigue, shortness of breath or palpitations. III FC Noticeable limitation of physical activity. There are no symptoms at rest. Physical activity that is less than usual is accompanied by fatigue, shortness of breath, or palpitations. IV FC Inability to perform physical activity without discomfort. Symptoms of heart failure are present at rest and worsen with minimal physical activity.

Slide 19

Parameters of physical activity in patients with different FCs of CHF (OSF, 2002) FC Distance of 6-minute walk (m) 0 More than 551 I 426-550 II 301-425 III 151-300 IV Less than 150

Slide 20

Complications of chronic heart failure. Sudden cardiac death. Disorders of cardiac rhythm and conduction. Thrombosis and thromboembolism. Liver failure due to blood stagnation. Cardiac cachexia (depletion of the body due to poor circulation) - loss of body weight, thinning of the skin with the appearance of poorly healing ulcers (deep defects) is caused by: - ​​decreased appetite due to venous stagnation in the digestive organs; - impaired absorption of fats; - increased metabolism due to a significant increase in the work of the respiratory muscles.

Slide 21

Diagnosis of CHF is based on two key criteria: Characteristic symptoms of heart failure (may be present at rest and during exercise); Objective evidence that these symptoms are associated specifically with heart disease, and not with any other organs (for example, with diseases of the lungs, kidneys, anemia, etc.), which MUST be detected at rest. The appearance of signs of heart failure only during exercise may indicate not heart failure, but coronary failure. In doubtful cases, confirmation of the diagnosis of HF is a positive response to therapy (for example, diuretics).

Slide 22

Reference points in diagnosing CHF: Characteristic symptoms or complaints; Physical examination findings; Data from objective research methods.

Slide 23

Objectives of the examination: Identifying symptoms of heart failure at rest or during exercise; Searching for objective evidence of cardiac dysfunction at rest; Obtaining a positive response to the treatment of heart failure. The diagnosis of CHF is possible only if the first two criteria are met. Therapy begins after full confidence in the correctness of the diagnosis.

Slide 24

Symptoms of heart failure Shortness of breath (91-98.4%) Fatigue (94.3%) Palpitations (80.4%) Swelling (69%) Anxiety (43%) Cough Orthopnea

Slide 27

Scale for assessing the clinical condition of CHF (SHOKS, modification by Mareeva V.Yu., 2000) 1. Shortness of breath: 0 – no, 1 – with exertion, 2 – at rest 2. Has weight changed over the last week: 0 – no, 1 – increased 3. Complaints about interruptions in the heart area: 0 – no, 1 – yes 4. What position is he in bed: 0 – horizontal, 1 – two pillows, 2 – wakes up from suffocation, 3 – sitting 5. Swollen neck veins: 0 – no, 1 – lying down, 2 – standing 6. Wheezing in the lungs: 0 – no, 1 – up to 1/3, 2 – up to the shoulder blades (up to 2/3), 3 – over the entire surface of the lungs 7. Presence gallop rhythm: 0 - no, 1 - present 8. Liver: 0 - not enlarged, 1 - up to 5 cm, 2 - more than 5 cm 9. Edema: 0 - no, 1 - pasty, 2 - edema, 3 - anasarca 10 SBP level: 0 – more than 120, 1 – 100-120, 2 – less than 100 mm Hg. Total points

Correspondence of SHOKS points I FC – 0-3 points II FC – 4-6 points III FC 7-9 points IV FC – more than 9 points

Slide 29

Objective signs of cardiac dysfunction ECG X-ray OGK EchoCG Hyperactivity of brain natriuretic peptides

Slide 30

ECG Signs of cicatricial damage to the myocardium Changes in the ST segment Atrial fibrillation Tachy- or bradyarrhythmias Ventricular arrhythmias LBP blockade in ischemic heart disease ECG signs of hypertrophy of the left atrium and left ventricle (AH) Deviation of EOS to the left (AH) A normal ECG in CHF is an exception to the rule (less than 10% )

Slide 31

X-ray of the chest organs Cardiomegaly (CTI more than 50%) Venous congestion in the lungs Normal heart sizes do not exclude the presence of diastolic CHF.

Slide 32

EchoCG and Doppler EchoCG Systolic and diastolic dysfunction of the LV Determination of the size of the cavities of the heart Myocardial thickness LV ejection fraction Structure and function of the valves State of the pericardium Linear blood flow velocity in the outflow tract of the LV - a decrease of less than 15 cm/sec indicates a low stroke volume Inferior vena cava - expansion with reverse blood flow indicates high pressure in the right atrium and congestion in the liver. Transesophageal or stress echocardiography may be used.

Slide 33

Transesophageal echocardiography for CHF is not a routine method. Used in the following cases: Insufficiently clear image during transthoracic access Complicated valvular lesion Suspicion of malfunction of the mitral valve prosthesis Exclusion of left atrial appendage thrombosis with a high risk of thromboembolism

Slide 34

Stress EchoCG Stress or pharmacological stress EchoCG is highly effective for: assessing the ischemic or non-ischemic etiology of CHF; assessing the effectiveness of therapeutic or surgical measures.

Slide 35

Magnetic resonance imaging Most accurately calculates: Heart volumes Cardiac wall thickness Mass of the LV myocardium Condition of the pericardium Length of myocardial necrosis Blood supply and features of myocardial functioning Limitations: High cost Tachycardia pacemaker Used when other imaging techniques are insufficiently informative.

Slide 36

Radioisotope methods Radionuclide ventriculography allows you to study myocardial perfusion to assess its viability and the degree of ischemia. The method is not very informative for assessing the volumes of the heart chambers and calculating subtle indicators of systolic and diastolic function.

Slide 37

Assessment of pulmonary function Used to exclude pulmonary origin of shortness of breath. Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) and FEV1 are reduced in CHF, but not to the same extent as in symptomatic obstructive respiratory diseases. Determination of other parameters of pulmonary function is not important for the diagnosis of CHF.

Slide 38

Hyperactivity of brain natriuretic peptides (BNP and proBNP) Screening of previously untreated patients Differential diagnosis of complex forms of CHF (diastolic, asymptomatic) Accurate assessment of the severity of LV dysfunction Determination of indications for CHF therapy Assessing the effectiveness of CHF therapy Assessing long-term prognosis BNP more than 400 pg/ml, NT -proBNP more than 2000 pg/ml indicates high tension on the ventricular wall and the presence of CHF. BNP less than 100 pg/ml, NT-proBNP less than 400 pg/ml indicate low tension on the ventricular wall and the absence of CHF.

Slide 39

Deviations from normal laboratory parameters in CHF Increase in creatinine more than 150 µmol/l Anemia (hemoglobin less than 130 g/l in men and 120 g/l in women) Hyponatremia (less than 135 mmol/l) Hypernatremia (more than 150 mmol/l) Hypokalemia ( less than 3.5 mmol/l) Hyperkalemia (more than 5.5 mmol/l) Hyperglycemia (more than 6.5 mmol/l) BNP more than 400 pg/ml, NT-proBNP more than 2000 pg/ml Increased albumin (more than 45 g/ml) l) Decrease in albumin (less than 30 g/l) Increase in transaminases Increase in troponins Increase or decrease in the level of thyroid hormones Changes in TAM (proteinuria, glycosuria, bacteriuria) Increase in INR (more than 2.5)

Slide 40

Diagnostic algorithm for CHF Additional diagnostic criteria (for example, coronary angiography) Choice of therapy Etiology, severity, provoking factors, Type of cardiac dysfunction EchoCG (RIA or MRI) Not normal Normal Objective data of cardiac damage (ECG, X-ray, BNP) Not normal Normal Symptoms and/ or signs of CHF CHF is unlikely

Slide 41

The life expectancy of patients with CHF is mainly determined by the severity of CHF. Survives for 3-4 years: 80% of patients with FC I CHF, 60% with FC II, no more than 30% with FC III-IV CHF.

Slide 42

Indications for hospitalization for CHF Progression of clinical manifestations Impossibility of treatment on an outpatient basis Occurrence of acute HF Addition of complications of CHF: pneumonia, arrhythmias, thromboembolism Development of arterial hypotension, fainting

Slide 43

Slide 44

Goals of CHF treatment: Preventing the development of symptomatic CHF (for stage I) Eliminating the main symptoms (for stages I-III) Slowing the progression of the disease by protecting target organs (for stages I-III) Improving quality of life (for stages IIA-III) Reducing hospitalizations and costs (for stages I-III) Improvement of prognosis (for stages I-III)

Slide 45

Ways to achieve goals in the treatment of CHF Diet Physical activity regimen Psychological rehabilitation, organization of medical supervision, schools for patients Drug therapy Electrophysiological treatment methods Surgical, mechanical treatment methods

Slide 46

Slide 47

Diet for CHF Limiting the consumption of table salt: FC I - less than 3 g/day FC II-III - 1.0-1.5 g/day FC IV - less than 1 g/day Fluid intake 1.5-2 l/day. Less than 1.5 l/day - only for decompensation requiring intravenous diuretics. Food: sufficient caloric content, protein and vitamin content. Quitting alcohol. To give up smoking. Fighting obesity. Regular weighing is necessary, since an increase in body weight of more than 2 kg in 1-3 days most likely indicates fluid retention in the body and the threat of decompensation (failure of protective mechanisms with a sharp deterioration in the condition) of CHF.

Slide 48

Physical activity regimen (1) Complete refusal of physical activity is undesirable for all patients with CHF. The volume of physical activity should be calculated individually depending on the disease that led to the development of chronic heart failure (for example, with myocarditis, the volume of exercise should be insignificant) and the functional class of chronic heart failure.

Slide 49

Physical activity mode (2) Preferred dynamic loads (performing external work with changes in the length of skeletal muscles - for example, walking, swimming, running, cycling), rather than static loads (developing maximum efforts when influencing a stationary object or maintaining an uncomfortable body position - such as lifting weights). For a patient with chronic heart failure, it is undesirable to stay in conditions of high altitude, high temperatures and humidity. If it is necessary to maintain a certain body position for a long time (for example, during air travel lasting more than 2.5 hours), it is advisable to perform gymnastics, walking or simply standing up every 30 minutes, wearing compression stockings.

Slide 50

Algorithm for carrying out physical activity in patients with CHF (recommendations for social workers)

Slide 51

Psychological rehabilitation, organization of medical supervision, schools for patients with CHF. The purpose of these activities is to help patients and their relatives: obtain information about the disease; dietary recommendations; physical activity; strict adherence to medication regimen; ability to assess symptoms of heart failure; immediately seek medical help if the condition worsens.

Slide 52

Drug treatment of CHF: Main groups of drugs (level of evidence A): ACE inhibitors (for absolutely all patients with CHF) ARA II (in case of intolerance to ACE inhibitors or plus ACE inhibitors if it is impossible to prescribe aldosterone receptor antagonists) Beta-blockers (in addition to ACE inhibitors) Aldosterone receptor antagonists ( together with ACE inhibitors and beta blockers for severe CHF and after AMI) Diuretics (for water and sodium retention in the body) Cardiac glycosides (drug of choice for atrial fibrillation, with caution in small doses - for sinus rhythm) Ethyl esters of polyunsaturated fatty acids

Slide 53

ACEIs Are indicated for all patients with CHF, regardless of the etiology and stage of the process. They improve symptoms, quality of life, slow down the progression of the disease, and improve the prognosis. The earlier treatment is started, the greater the likelihood of prolonging the life of patients. ACEIs are the most reasonable method of treating CHF with preserved LV function. Non-prescription of ACEIs cannot be considered justified and leads to a deliberate increase in the risk of death in decompensated patients. The effectiveness of ACE inhibitors in men is higher than in women. In Russia, 11 ACE inhibitors have been registered that have CHF as an indication: benazepril, zofenopril, captopril. Quinapril, lisinopril, perindopril, spirapril, ramipril, fosinopril, cilazapril, enalapril.

Slide 54

Recommendations for prescribing ACE inhibitors Start therapy with small doses with a gradual increase to optimal doses once every 2-3 days, for systemic hypotension - no more than once a week Start therapy in the evening in a horizontal position (less risk of lowering blood pressure) Assess the need for use and dose of diuretics and vasodilators Avoid excessive diuresis before starting treatment If there is a significant deterioration in renal function, it is better to use fosinopril or spirapril, or reduce the dose of ACEI by half, or replace the ACEI with an ARA II (candesartan is best) Avoid prescribing potassium-sparing diuretics at the beginning of treatment with ACEI, especially in patients with plasma potassium levels above 5.2 µmol/l Avoid NSAIDs Monitor blood pressure and blood electrolytes 2 weeks after each dose increase

Slide 55

Slide 56

Complications of ACE inhibitors Increased creatinine levels (5-15% with rapid dose titration) and 1-2% with slow titration). Dry cough (less common with fosinopril). Replacement with APA II. Systemic hypotension. Absolute contraindications to ACE inhibitors: Angioedema Pregnancy Bilateral renal artery stenosis

Slide 57

ARA II Candesartan (Atacanda) has been shown to reduce mortality and cardiovascular hospitalizations in CHF with reduced LVEF. Starting dose 4 mg 1 time per day. The dose is doubled with stable blood pressure and no complications every 3-5 days until a dose of 16 mg is reached once a day. In patients with high blood pressure, the maximum dose is 32 mg once a day. For initial hypotension, it is better to start with 2 mg/day. Valsartan and losartan have also proven their effectiveness, but in smaller studies The effectiveness of ARB II in women is the same as in men (unlike ACE inhibitors) ARB II can be prescribed in addition to ACE inhibitors, but the preferred combination of ACE inhibitors with beta blockers and receptor antagonists aldosterone If you are intolerant to aldosterone receptor antagonists, it is possible to use a combination of ACE inhibitors and ARB II (not as initial therapy - more side effects, but the addition of ARB II to patients on long-term treatment with ACE inhibitors).

Pharmacokinetics: advantages of Edarbi Edarbi is characterized by one of the highest bioavailability values ​​- 60% (higher only for irbesartan) Edarbi is characterized by balanced excretion from the body: both by the liver and kidneys Thus, mild to moderate dysfunction of the liver and kidneys (as well as impaired patency biliary tract) do not lead to clinically significant changes in the concentration of azilsartan in the blood. Edarbi is not characterized by restrictions associated with obstruction of the biliary tract (such restrictions are indicated in the instructions for valsartan, candesartan, telmisartan, olmesartan)

Slide 60

Beta-blockers The main means of treating CHF along with ACE inhibitors Should be used by all patients with CHF who do not have contraindications Prescribed in addition to ACE inhibitors or ARB II Patients must be relatively stable before starting treatment Treatment begins with small doses. The dose is doubled until the average therapeutic dose is reached no more than once every two weeks. During treatment, transient disorders may develop: hypotension, bradycardia, increase in heart failure. If, with decompensated heart failure, the patient needs inotropic support, then the drug of choice is calcium sesynthesizers (levosimendan), so how their effect does not depend on the degree of beta-adrenergic receptor blockade

Slide 61

Biphasic effect of beta blockers on the central hemodynamics of patients with CHF In the first two weeks of treatment, cardiac output may decrease (due to a decrease in contractility and heart rate), and clinical symptoms may increase. Subsequently, by reducing tachycardia and myocardial oxygen consumption, hibernating cardiomyocytes restore contractility and cardiac output begins to increase. Moreover, carvedilol allows one to achieve a greater increase in EF than glycosides.

Slide 62

Recommended beta blockers for CHF Metoprolol succinate (cardioselective beta1 blocker). Bisoprolol (cardioselective beta1 blocker). Carvedilol (non-cardioselective with additional alpha1-blocker, antioxidant and antiproliferative properties). They are effective, safe, improve prognosis and reduce the number of hospitalizations.

Bidop ® Reduces the severity of left ventricular hypertrophy Has high antianginal activity (maximally reduces the need for nitrates) Provides a maximum increase in exercise tolerance Provides an optimal daily blood pressure profile Improves the quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease and concomitant diseases

Slide 66

Non-recommended beta blockers for CHF Atenolol and metoprolol tartrate are contraindicated. Nebivolol does not reduce overall mortality, but it does reduce the number of sudden deaths and readmissions to hospital. Can be used in patients over 70 years of age.

Slide 67

Rules for the safe treatment of beta-blockers in patients with CHF The patient must be on ACEI or ARB II therapy. Stable condition without internal inotropic support and pronounced congestion due to diuretics. Start with small doses, doubling them no more than once every 2 weeks. At the beginning of treatment and the titration process, hypotension, bradycardia, and an increase in heart failure are possible. Advisable: Control of symptoms, blood pressure, heart rate; If symptoms increase, increase the dose of diuretics and ACE inhibitors; if ineffective, temporarily reduce the dose of the beta blocker; If hypotension develops, reduce the dose of vasodilators; if ineffective, temporarily reduce the dose of the beta blocker; For bradycardia, reduce the dose or stop taking drugs that reduce heart rate; if necessary, reduce the dose or discontinue the beta blocker; Upon reaching a stable condition, resumption of treatment and/or continued titration of the beta blocker dose. 5. If, with decompensated CHF, the patient needs inotropic support, then the drug of choice is calcium synthesizers (levosimendan), since their effect does not depend on the degree of beta-adrenergic receptor blockade.

Slide 68

Patients with severe CHF (FC III-IV) with heart failure of unknown etiology with discontinuation of beta blockers in the past due to the development of side effects or exacerbation of symptoms of CHF require special monitoring during therapy with beta blockers

Slide 69

Patients with coronary artery disease and heart failure and a heart rate of more than 70 per minute have a higher risk of death (by 34%) AMI and exacerbation of heart failure (by 53%) If channel blocker of the sinus node ivabradine (Coraxan) can be used in combination with beta-blockers or instead of them (in case of intolerance or contraindications). The inclusion of ivabradine in the treatment regimen is indicated regardless of previous therapy for patients with: CHF Sinus rhythm Heart rate more than 70 per minute The starting dose of ivabradine is 5 mg 2 times a day, increasing after 2 weeks to 7.5 mg 2 times a day. For patients over 75 years of age, treatment begins with 2.5 mg 2 times a day. In the 2012 recommendations of the European Society of Cardiology, ivabradine is included in the treatment algorithm for patients with CHF.

Slide 70

Aldosterone antagonists Veroshpiron 25-50 mg 1 time per day is used 1 time per day for long-term treatment of patients with FC III-IV CHF in addition to ACE inhibitors and beta blockers as a neurohumoral modulator, which allows the most complete blocking of the RAAS, improving the course and prognosis of CHF. If decompensation worsens, it is possible to increase the dose to 100-300 mg (4-12 tablets) per day in the morning or in two doses (morning + lunch) for a period of 1-3 weeks, followed by a subsequent dose reduction.

Slide 71

Criteria for the effectiveness of spironolactone: Increase in diuresis by 20-25% Reduction in thirst, dry mouth, “liver” odor from the mouth No decrease in the concentration of potassium and magnesium in the blood serum, despite achieving positive diuresis (excreted more than drunk). When using high doses of veroshpiron for more than 4-6 weeks, the risk of complications (hyperkalemia, gynecomastia) increases.

Slide 72

Eplerenone A new aldosterone antagonist, eplerenone, reduces the risk of death, including sudden death, in patients who have suffered an AMI and have FC II CHF.

Slide 73

Diuretics Used together with ACE inhibitors to eliminate edema syndrome and improve clinical symptoms Treatment begins only with clinical signs of stagnation (stage II A) Treatment begins with the use of the weakest drug that is effective for a particular patient. Preference is given to thiazide diuretics (hypothiazide). Only if they are ineffective, switch to powerful loop diuretics (furosemide). Daily intake of diuretics, ensuring a negative water balance of 800-1000 ml. Body weight control! In the treatment of refractory edematous syndrome - IV furosemide + thiazide diuretic + veroshpiron + diacarb (3 tablets per day for 3-4 days, once every two weeks to overcome refractoriness to diuretics). For hypotension, steroids are added to the combination. Diuretics cause hypokalemia more quickly and more often in women, which can lead to QT prolongation and cardiac arrhythmias. Most diuretics (except torsemide) do not slow down the progression of CHF and do not improve the prognosis of patients.

Slide 74

Recommended doses of diuretics (mg/day) Drug Initial dose Max. dose Hydrochlorothiazide (hypothiazide) 25 75-100 Furosemide (Lasix) 20-40 250-500 Torsemide (Diuver) 5-10 100-200 Acetazolamide (diacarb) is used as an additional agent for long-term use of powerful diuretics (acidifies the environment, increases sensitivity to loop diuretics). Dose: 250 mg 2-3 times a day for 3-4 days with a break of at least 2 weeks. Mandatory for patients with CHF and pulmonary pathology. 250 mg 1 hour before bedtime reduces sleep apnea (present in 40% of patients with CHF).

Britomar - torasemide with prolonged release Britomar - a tablet based on a hydrophilic matrix of guar gum Guar gum is a natural water-soluble polymer obtained from the seeds of a plant of the legume family Guar gum is widely used in the creation of dosage forms with prolonged release In the gastrointestinal tract, guar gum forms a kind of “sponge”, which provides sustained release of the drug

Slide 77

The Berrazueta study examined the effect of Torasemide on vascular smooth muscle cells. According to plethysmography, intravenous infusion of Torasemide led to a significant dilation of the dorsal veins of the hand, and this effect was more pronounced in patients with hypertension.

Slide 79

Refractoriness to diuretics Early (inhibition of effect) develops in the first hours and days. Depends on the hyperactivation of neurohormones and the stronger the more active the dehydration. It can be overcome by adequate (non-excessive) diuresis and the mandatory combined use of ACE inhibitors and/or spironolactone. Late refractoriness develops after weeks and months and is associated with hypertrophy of the apical cells of the renal tubules. A periodic (once every 3-4 weeks) change of active diuretics and their combination with ACE inhibitors is required. Torsemide is preferable.

Slide 80

Overcoming resistance to diuretics The use of diuretics (preferably torsemide) only against the background of ACE inhibitors and spironolactone. Administration of a double dose of diuretic intravenously. Combination of diuretics with drugs that improve filtration: When SBP is more than 100 mm Hg. – aminophylline (10 ml of 2.4% solution intravenously, immediately after the drip – Lasix or cardiac glycosides; For SBP less than 100 mm Hg – dopamine. Use of diuretics with albumin or plasma (especially with hypoproteinemia). For severe hypotension - combination with inotropic agents (levosimendan, dobutamine, dopamine), short-term - with glucocorticoids. Temporary transfer from furosemide to ethacrynic acid (initial dose 25-50 mg, maximum dose - 250 mg) or their combination. Mechanical methods of fluid removal (pleural , pericardial puncture, paracentesis) - only for health reasons. Isolated ultrafiltration. Contraindications: valve stenosis, low cardiac output, intracardiac shunt and hypotension.

Slide 81

Cardiac glycosides Improve symptoms Reduce the frequency of hospitalizations Do not affect survival Recommendations: Only small doses of digoxin - up to 0.25 mg per day in two doses (acts as a neurohormonal modulator, has a weak inotropic effect and does not cause rhythm disturbances) Digoxin is a first-line drug for atrial fibrillation (slows AV conduction and reduces heart rate). The combination with beta blockers is effective as it provides better heart rate control, reduces the risk of dangerous ventricular arrhythmias, and reduces the likelihood of exacerbation of coronary insufficiency. Cardiac glycosides are most effective in patients with low EF (less than 25%), cardiomegaly (CTI more than 55%), and non-ischemic etiology of CHF. In women, cardiac glycosides are more likely to cause intoxication and fatal complications, so they should be prescribed lower doses and monitor the level of digoxin in the blood.

Slide 82

Esters of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (omakor) affect fat metabolism and blood clotting. Due to this, they increase life expectancy and reduce the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke. Reduce the risk of overall death in patients with CHF by 9%. Reduce the number of hospitalizations for CHF by 8%. The number of side effects is less than with placebo. Recommended for all patients with decompensated CHF at a dose of 1 mg/day.

Slide 83

Drug treatment of CHF: Additional groups of drugs (level of evidence B): Statins Indirect anticoagulants

Slide 84

Recommendations for the use of statins in patients at risk or developed CHF Statins are an effective means of preventing CHF in patients with coronary artery disease. In case of developed CHF, statins do not improve the prognosis. If the patient has received statins, therapy should and should be continued safely if CHF develops.

Slide 85

Statins additionally improve the prognosis only in patients with CHF of ischemic etiology. Drug Daily dose, mg Atorvastatin 10-20 Pravastatin 20-40 Rosuvastatin 5-10 Simvastatin 10-40 Fluvastatin 40-80

Mertenil® is the only rosuvastatin in Russia with a full range of dosages (5, 10, 20 and 40 mg) for optimal selection of therapy for different categories of patients

Slide 91

Safety of statin therapy If the total cholesterol level is less than 3.2 mmol/l, it is better to refrain from using statins. In the first 3 months of treatment with statins in patients with CHF, regular monitoring of transaminases and CPK is necessary. Reasons for stopping treatment with statins for CHF: an increase in AST and ALT by more than 3 times from the original; increase in CPK 10 times higher than normal; the appearance of muscle pain.

Slide 92

Anticoagulants: reasons for use With CHF, the risk of thromboembolism and stroke increases. 40% of patients with CHF have signs of deep vein thrombosis. 5.5% of patients with decompensated CHF have pulmonary embolism. 40% of patients with clinically significant CHF have persistent or paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

Slide 93

Provocateurs of thrombosis and embolism in CHF: Dehydration therapy (the more abundant the diuresis, the more dangerous) Bed rest.

Slide 94

Prevention of thrombosis and embolism in patients with CHF To prevent thrombosis and embolism in patients with CHF who are on bed rest, treatment with low molecular weight heparins (enoxaparin) for 2-3 weeks is indicated.

Slide 95

Indirect anticoagulants (warfarin, syncumar) are mandatory for the treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation and an increased risk of thromboembolism. Factors of increased risk of thromboembolism: Older age Presence of thromboembolism in medical history Information about strokes and transient cerebrovascular accidents Presence of intracardiac thrombi Ejection fraction is sharply reduced (below 35%) Dilatation of the heart chambers (ECD more than 6.5 cm) History of heart surgery Monitoring is required INR once a month (maintaining INR 2.0-3.0).

Slide 96

Replacement of anticoagulants with disaggregants Indirect anticoagulants for CHF in a patient with atrial fibrillation cannot be replaced with antithrombotic drugs, since the effectiveness is reduced and the risk of bleeding does not differ.

Slide 97

Anticoagulants and sinus rhythm There is currently no evidence of the effectiveness of anticoagulants in patients with sinus rhythm (even with cardiac dilatation and the presence of blood clots). The use of anticoagulants in patients with CHF with sinus rhythm is within the competence of the attending physician.

Slide 98

Drug treatment of CHF: Auxiliary drugs (level of evidence C) used in certain clinical situations: Group of drugs Clinical situation Peripheral vasodilators (nitrates) Concomitant angina Slow calcium channel blockers - long-acting dihydropyridines Angina pectoris, persistent hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, severe valvular regurgitation Antiarrhythmic drugs (especially class III - amiodarone, sotalol) For life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias Antiplatelet agents Secondary prevention after myocardial infarction Non-glycoside inotropic stimulants For exacerbation of CHF, occurring with low cardiac output and hypotension

Slide 99

Peripheral vasodilators (nitrates) are not among the drugs used to treat CHF. They do not affect the prognosis, the number of hospitalizations, or the progression of the disease. They should be used in patients with CHF as rarely as possible, as they: reduce the effectiveness of ACE inhibitors and increase the risk of hypotension. Prescribed to patients with CHF only in the presence of proven coronary artery disease and angina pectoris, which is relieved by nitro drugs.

Slide 100

Slow calcium channel blockers Long-acting dihydroperidines (amlodipine, felodipine) do not worsen the prognosis, can improve the clinical picture and reduce the severity of decompensation. Indications for the use of long-acting dihydroperidines (against the background of the main treatments): The presence of persistent angina The presence of concomitant persistent hypertension High pulmonary hypertension Severe valvular regurgitation Short-acting dihydroperidines are contraindicated in CHF!!! Amlodipine is used at an initial dose of 5 mg/day, the optimal dose is 10 mg/day.
