Reversing cardiac remodeling with HFtreatmentPraveen Nagula
油
1. This document summarizes research on reversing cardiac remodeling through heart failure treatment. It discusses what remodeling is, the history of the term in medical literature, and types of remodeling (pathological vs physiological).
2. Studies show treatments that lead to "reverse remodeling" like sacubitril/valsartan improve outcomes for heart failure patients. Trials like PARADIGM-HF and PROVE-HF found sacubitril/valsartan reduced biomarkers and improved ejection fraction, indicating reverse remodeling.
3. Subgroup analyses in PROVE-HF found consistent reverse remodeling effects in newly diagnosed and ACE-ARB naive patients as well as those not reaching target sacubitril/vals
PH-ILD: Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment.pptxDuke Heart
油
This document discusses pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD). It begins with an overview of PH classification and the changes in definitions. PH-ILD prevalence depends on disease severity and definition, ranging from 5-75% in ILD patients. Clinical features that suggest PH-ILD include symptoms out of proportion to lung disease severity, imaging findings, and cardiopulmonary testing results. Diffusion capacity and right ventricular function are predictive of outcomes. While medications for group 1 PH have been studied in PH-ILD with mixed results, treatment is generally based on severity with PDE5 inhibitors and inhaled prostanoids for mild-moderate disease. Lung transplant should be considered for severe PH-ILD.
This document summarizes the results of the CARE-HF trial, which investigated the effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with heart failure. The trial found that CRT significantly reduced the risks of death and hospitalization compared to medical therapy alone. For every 9 patients treated with CRT, 1 death and 3 hospitalizations were prevented. The results provide strong evidence that CRT can improve outcomes for appropriately selected heart failure patients.

The document summarizes research on sleep apnea in heart failure patients. It finds:
- Sleep apnea is highly prevalent in heart failure patients, with studies finding 47-49% have an apnea-hypopnea index over 15 events per hour. Central sleep apnea makes up 15-46% of cases.
- Central sleep apnea independently predicts mortality in heart failure patients and is associated with reduced left and right ventricular function.
- Treatments for central sleep apnea like supplemental nocturnal oxygen, theophylline, acetazolamide, and CPAP can improve sleep quality and reduce apnea episodes and symptoms. However, a large clinical trial found CPAP did not significantly impact heart transplantation-free
1) HFpEF is the most common form of heart failure, affecting over 70% of heart failure patients over age 65. It is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality.
2) HFpEF is challenging to diagnose because ejection fraction is normal and cardiac congestion is difficult to evaluate non-invasively. It is defined hemodynamically as a clinical syndrome associated with a lack of capacity of the heart to pump blood adequately without elevated cardiac filling pressures.
3) There is currently no effective pharmacological treatment for HFpEF. Treatment focuses on controlling congestion through diuretics, managing comorbidities, and promoting exercise. Future efforts to better characterize HFpEF phenotypes may allow individualized therapies
Atrial fibrillation and increased mortality: causation or association? Mexico...Antonio Raviele
油
AF is associated with increased mortality, but it is unclear if this is directly caused by AF or associated conditions. Studies show AF patients have 1.5-2x higher risk of death than controls (1). While some evidence suggests AF directly increases mortality risk through stroke and heart failure worsening, randomized trials found rhythm control did not reduce mortality compared to rate control (2). It is likely AF directly increases mortality in some patients and is also a marker for worsening of linked conditions. Understanding the AF-mortality relationship could guide new treatments to lower premature death risk.

This document summarizes information about pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in patients with connective tissue diseases (CTDs). It discusses several key points:
- PAH is most prevalent in systemic sclerosis (SSc), occurring in up to 9% of patients. Survival is worse for PAH associated with SSc compared to idiopathic PAH.
- Early detection of PAH in SSc is important and can be aided by annual screening with echocardiography, pulmonary function tests, and biomarkers like BNP/NT-proBNP. Stress echocardiography may also help predict PAH.
- The DETECT study developed a validated two-step algorithm using non-invasive tests to identify PAH in high
Sex and Gender Differences in PH and Right Ventricular Failure.pptxDuke Heart
油
This document discusses sex and gender differences in pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular failure. Some key points include:
- Females are more prone to developing pulmonary arterial hypertension than males. Females also exhibit better right ventricular adaptation and function, which contributes to better outcomes and survival in females compared to males.
- Estrogens may mediate some of the sex differences observed, as higher estrogen levels are associated with worse pulmonary arterial remodeling but better right ventricular function. The Y chromosome gene UTY also appears protective against pulmonary hypertension in males.
- A proposed mechanism is that estrogen signaling through estrogen receptor alpha increases levels of the cardioprotective peptide apelin in right ventricular cardiomyocytes, thereby improving right ventricular function in females
This document provides an overview of heart failure, with a focus on heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). It discusses the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of HFpEF. Key points include:
- HFpEF accounts for about 1/3 to 1/2 of heart failure cases and is associated with abnormal diastolic function.
- Diagnosis involves assessing symptoms, imaging like echocardiography to evaluate diastolic dysfunction, and ruling out other potential causes.
- Treatment focuses on controlling risk factors like hypertension, fluid management, and some evidence that ARBs, ARNI, and statins may provide benefits. Prognosis is similar to heart failure with reduced eject

Low dose dopamine increases GFR and RBF. The DAD-HF trial investigated 60 patients randomized to low dose furosemide (continuous infusion 0.5 mg/kg/day) with or without low dose dopamine (2 亮g/kg/min). Dopamine preserved renal function compared to furosemide alone in patients with acute decompensated heart failure. There were no significant differences found in a trial comparing high vs low dose furosemide or bolus vs continuous infusion on renal function or symptoms. Novel agents targeting fluid overload, renal function, contractility, and vasomotion may provide new therapeutic options for acute heart failure.
Prof. U. C. SAMAL provides an overview of acute decompensated heart failure and what is new in the field.

Finally, it summarizes that the new drug LCZ696 combines neprilysin inhibition with an ARB to reduce mortality and hospitalization in heart failure patients beyond existing neurohormonal therapies
Hemodynamic Evaluation of Pulmonary Hypertension: Principles and Best PracticesDuke Heart
油
This document provides an overview of Ryan Tedford's presentation on best practices for right heart catheterization and hemodynamic evaluation of pulmonary hypertension. Some key points discussed include:
- Always perform an RHC before starting PAH therapy to accurately diagnose pre- or post-capillary disease.
- Obtaining an accurate PAWP measurement is critical, as it distinguishes pre- from post-capillary disease. Factors like respiratory variation, cardiac cycle timing, and catheter positioning impact PAWP values.
- Thermodilution cardiac output and modified Fick methods were discussed alongside their limitations in certain patient populations.
- A case example highlighted the importance of confirming PAWP values with a saturation to rule out partial occlusion effects
1. Preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) - also referred to as diastolic heart failure. Ejection fraction (EF) is commonly used to classify heart failure (HF) but it has limitations as a marker of systolic function.
2. EF alone does not necessarily indicate normal systolic function, as parameters like strain and twisting may be impaired even with normal EF. EF also depends on preload (end-diastolic volume) so stroke volume can be low with normal EF.
3. The distribution of EF in the population and in HF patients is continuous rather than discrete, and EF values can change over time, with some patients transitioning between preserved and reduced EF categories.

Dr. Jaymee Shells Perspective on COVID-19Jaymee Shell
油
Dr. Jaymee Shell views the COVID-19 pandemic as both a crisis that exposed weaknesses and an opportunity to build stronger systems. She emphasizes that the pandemic revealed critical healthcare inequities while demonstrating the power of collaboration and adaptability.
Shell highlights that organizations with gender-diverse executive teams are 25% more likely to experience above-average profitability, positioning diversity as a business necessity rather than just a moral imperative. She notes that the pandemic disproportionately affected women of color, with one in three women considering leaving or downshifting their careers.
To combat inequality, Shell recommends implementing flexible work policies, establishing clear metrics for diversity in leadership, creating structured virtual collaboration spaces, and developing comprehensive wellness programs. For healthcare providers specifically, she advocates for multilingual communication systems, mobile health units, telehealth services with alternatives for those lacking internet access, and cultural competency training.
Shell emphasizes the importance of mental health support through culturally appropriate resources, employee assistance programs, and regular check-ins. She calls for diverse leadership teams that reflect the communities they serve and community-centered care models that address social determinants of health.
In her words: "The COVID-19 pandemic didn't create healthcare inequalities it illuminated them." She urges building systems that reach every community and provide dignified care to all.
