Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a chronic, progressive, and increasingly prevalent syndrome characterized by stepwise declines in health status and residual lifespan. Despite significant advancements in both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic management approaches for chronic HF, the burden of HF hospitalization-whether attributable to new-onset (de novo) HF or worsening of established HF-remains high and contributes to excess HF-related morbidity, mortality, and healthcare expenditures. Owing to a paucity of evidence to guide tailored interventions in this heterogeneous group, management of acute HF events remains largely subject to clinician discretion, relying principally on alleviation of clinical congestion, as-needed correction of hemodynamic perturbations, and concomitant reversal of underlying trigger(s). Following acute stabilization, the subsequent phase of care primarily involves interventions known to improve long-term outcomes and rehospitalization risk, including initiation and optimization of disease-modifying pharmacotherapy, targeted use of adjunctive therapies, and attention to contributing comorbid conditions. However, even with current standards of care many patients experience recurrent HF hospitalization, or after admission incur worsening clinical trajectories. These patterns highlight a persistent unmet need for evidence-based approaches to inform in-hospital HF care and call for renewed focus on urgent implementation of interventions capable of ameliorating risk of worsening HF. In this review, we discuss key contemporary and emerging therapeutic strategies for patients hospitalized with de novo or worsening HF.

Abstract
Rationale & Objective Heart failure treatment relies on loop diuretics to induce natriuresis and decongestion, but the therapy is often limited by diuretic resistance. We explored the association of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) activation with diuretic response. Study Design Observational cohort. Setting & Population Euvolemic ambulatory adults with chronic heart failure were administered torsemide in a monitored environment. Predictors Plasma total renin, active renin, angiotensinogen, and aldosterone levels. Urine total renin and angiotensinogen levels. Outcomes Sodium output per doubling of diuretic dose and fractional excretion of sodium per doubling of diuretic dose. Analytical Approach Robust linear regression models estimated the associations of each RAAS intermediate with outcomes. Results The analysis included 56 participants, and the median age was 65 years; 50% were women, and 41% were Black. The median home diuretic dose was 80-mg furosemide equivalents. In unadjusted and multivariable-adjusted models, higher levels of RAAS measures were generally associated with lower diuretic efficiency. Higher plasma total renin remained significantly associated with lower sodium output per doubling of diuretic dose (β = -0.41 [-0.76, -0.059] per SD change) with adjustment; higher plasma total and active renin were significantly associated with lower fractional excretion of sodium per doubling of diuretic dose (β = -0.48 [-0.83, -0.14] and β = -0.51 [-0.95, -0.08], respectively) in adjusted models. Stratification by RAAS inhibitor use did not substantially alter these associations. Limitations Small sample size; highly selected participants; associations may not be causal. Conclusions Among multiple measures of RAAS activation, higher plasma total and active renin levels were consistently associated with lower diuretic response. These findings highlight the potential drivers of diuretic resistance and underscore the need for high-quality trials of decongestive therapy enhanced by RAAS blockade.

Efficacy of Nondiuretic Pharmacotherapy for Improving the Treatment of Congestion in Patients with Acute Heart Failure: A Systematic Review of Randomised Controlled Trials. J Clin Med 2022; 11:3112. [PMID: 35683505 PMCID: PMC9181246 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11113112] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2022] [Revised: 05/22/2022] [Accepted: 05/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Diuretic therapy is the mainstay during episodes of acute heart failure (AHF). Diuretic resistance is often encountered and poses a substantial challenge for clinicians. There is a lack of evidence on the optimal strategies to tackle this problem. This review aimed to compare the outcomes associated with congestion management based on a strategy of pharmacological nondiuretic-based regimens. The PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and ScienceDirect databases were systematically searched for all randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of adjuvant pharmacological treatments used during hospitalisation episodes of AHF patients. Congestion relief constitutes the main target in AHF; hence, only studies with efficacy indicators related to decongestion enhancement were included. The Cochrane risk-of-bias tool was used to evaluate the methodological quality of the included RCTs. Twenty-three studies were included; dyspnea relief constituted the critical efficacy endpoint in most included studies. However, substantial variations in dyspnea measurement were found. Tolvaptan and serelaxin were found to be promising options that might improve decongestion in AHF patients. However, further high-quality RCTs using a standardised approach to diuretic management, including dosing and monitoring strategies, are crucial to provide new insights and recommendations for managing heart failure in acute settings.

Abstract
Abstract
Chronic congestive heart failure is a clinical syndrome based on the progressive deterioration of contractile (systolic) heart function due to structural or functional disorders. The incidence of the disease increases with age, so the prevalence in people older than 75 years is greater than 10%. Due to the different clinical presentation, the pharmacological approach to the patient is individual, and most patients are treated on an outpatient basis, according to the guidelines taken from the recommendations of professional associations. Hospitalization is necessary in severe forms of CHF or acute exacerbations. Patients with severe hemodynamic disturbances due to acute CHF require treatment in intensive care units, due to specific cardiovascular therapy, respiratory support and vital functions monitoring. Individualized, stepwise and rational pharmacological therapy achieves significant symptomatic and functional improvement in most patients.

Abstract
Significant surgical and medical advances over the past several decades have resulted in a growing number of infants and children surviving with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and other congenital heart defects associated with a single systemic right ventricle (RV). However, cardiac dysfunction and ultimately heart failure (HF) remain the most common cause of death and indication for transplantation in this population. Moreover, while early recognition and treatment of single ventricle-related complications are essential to improving outcomes, there are no proven therapeutic strategies for single systemic RV HF in the pediatric population. Importantly, prototypical adult HF therapies have been relatively ineffective in mitigating the need for cardiac transplantation in HLHS, likely due to several unique attributes of the failing HLHS myocardium. Here, we discuss the most commonly used medical therapies for the treatment of HF symptoms in HLHS and other single systemic RV patients. Additionally, we provide an overview of potential novel therapies for systemic ventricular failure in the HLHS and related populations based on fundamental science, pre-clinical, clinical, and observational studies in the current literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with respiratory failure, loop diuretics remain the cornerstone of the treatment to maintain fluid balance, but resistance is common.
AIM To determine the efficacy and safety of common diuretic combinations in critically ill patients with respiratory failure.
METHODS We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library and PROSPERO for studies reporting the effects of a combination of a loop diuretic with another class of diuretic. A meta-analysis using mean differences (MD) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was performed for the 24-h fluid balance (primary outcome) and the 24-h urine output, while descriptive statistics were used for safety events.
RESULTS Nine studies totalling 440 patients from a total of 6510 citations were included. When compared to loop diuretics alone, the addition of a second diuretic is associated with an improved negative fluid balance at 24 h [MD: -1.06 L (95%CI: -1.46; -0.65)], driven by the combination of a thiazide plus furosemide [MD: -1.25 L (95%CI: -1.68; -0.82)], while no difference was observed with the combination of a loop-diuretic plus acetazolamide [MD: -0.40 L (95%CI: -0.96; 0.16)] or spironolactone [MD: -0.65 L (95%CI: -1.66; 0.36)]. Heterogeneity was high and the report of clinical and safety endpoints varied across studies.
CONCLUSION Based on limited evidence, the addition of a second diuretic to a loop diuretic may promote diuresis and negative fluid balance in patients with respiratory failure, but only when using a thiazide. Further larger trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of such interventions in patients with respiratory failure are required.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Given the limited population level, adoption of optimal therapy that has been shown in recent clinical trials and heart failure registries, efforts to rapidly and safely improve adoption of guideline-directed medical therapy for heart failure should be prioritized. Opportunities to leverage remote monitoring technology, the electronic health record (EHR), and multidisciplinary teams to improve heart failure care merit review. RECENT FINDINGS Dedicated multidisciplinary teams employing algorithmic medication titration schema have shown better efficacy than clinician alerts or quality initiatives that focus on education and audit-feedback processes alone. Technology that enables invasive pressure monitoring and wearable devices that transmit physiologic data have the potential to predict decompensation and allow for early intervention by alerting clinicians to signs of congestion/clinical worsening but further real-world data is needed to prove efficacy and develop effective treatment protocols. SUMMARY The combination of technology, multidisciplinary teams, and identification of populations for intervention using the EHR will be central to impactful innovation in heart failure population health and prevention of avoidable morbidity. Novel approaches to study implementation efforts including cluster randomized trials are needed.

Abstract
Backgrounds and AimsNutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002) has been widely recommended for identifying the nutritional risk. However, the association between NRS-2002 and the prognosis of heart failure has not been fully addressed. This study aimed to explore the association of NRS-2002 with 1-year re-hospitalization and the length of initial hospital stay in heart failure patients.MethodsThis retrospective study included 2,830 heart failure patients. The primary endpoint was 1-year re-hospitalization for heart failure. The secondary endpoint was the length of initial hospital stay. The Log-binomial regression analysis was performed to determine the association between NRS-2002 and re-hospitalization. The Cox regression model was fitted to estimate hazard of discharge. The cumulative incidence curves of discharge were plotted using Kaplan–Meier method and log-rank test was performed. Exploratory analysis was also conducted according to the classification of heart failure and the level of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) fold-elevation.ResultsAmong 2,830 heart failure patients, the mean age was 64.3 years and 66.4% were male. A total of 122 (4.3%) patients were considered at high nutritional risk. Log-binomial regression analysis demonstrated that higher NRS-2002 score was an independent risk factor of re-hospitalization ([1 vs. 0]: relative risks [RR] = 1.383, 95% CI = 1.152 to 1.660; [2 vs. 0]: RR = 1.425, 95% CI = 1.108 to 1.832; [3–7 vs. 0]: RR = 1.770, 95% CI = 1.310 to 2.393). Kaplan–Meier curve showed that the cumulative incidence of discharge was lower in high nutritional risk group (Log rank p < 0.001). Cox regression analysis also found that higher NRS-2002 score (2 or ≥3) was strongly associated with longer length of initial hospital stay ([2 vs. 0]: Hazard ratios [HR] = 0.854, 95% CI = 0.748 to 0.976; [3–7 vs. 0]: HR = 0.609, 95% CI = 0.503 to 0.737). Exploratory analysis showed that such association still remained irrespective of NT-proBNP fold-elevation, but only existed in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).ConclusionIn patients with heart failure, high NRS-2002 score was strongly and independently associated with the incidence of 1-year re-hospitalization and the length of initial hospital stay.

Abstract
Backgrounds Decreased urine output (UO) is associated with adverse outcomes in certain patients, but this effect in patients admitted for cardiovascular diseases is still unproven. Moreover, the relationship between increased UO and prognosis is also unclear. Objective To investigate the relationship between decreased or increased UO and outcomes in patients with the cardiovascular intensive care unit (CICU). Methods This study was a retrospective cohort analysis based on the medical information mart for intensive care III (MIMIC-III) database. The patients' data were extracted from the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (Boston, MA) between 2001 and 2012. With the initial 24-h UO range from 0.5 to 1.0 ml/kg/h as the reference, participants were divided into the several groups. The primary outcome was 30-day mortality. The secondary outcomes were 90-day mortality, ICU mortality, hospital mortality, use of mechanical ventilation (MV), and vasopressor agents in the first 24-h of ICU. The association between UO and mortality was assessed by multivariable logistic regression. Results A total of 13,279 patients admitted to CICU were included. Low UO (< 0.5 ml/kg/h) was strongly associated with 30-day mortality (unadjusted OR = 3.993, 95% CI: 3.447–4.625, p < 0.001), and very high UO (≥ 2.0 ml/kg/h) was also a significantly risk factor for 30-day mortality (Unadjusted OR = 2.069, 95% CI: 1.701–2.516, p < 0.001) compared with the reference. The same effects also were shown in the multivariable logistic regression, adjusted by age, gender, vital signs, common comorbidities, and use of diuretics, with an adjusted OR of 2.023 (95% CI: 1.693–2.417, p < 0.001) for low UO and 1.771 (95% CI: 1.389–2.256, p < 0.001) for very high UO. Moreover, both decreased UO and increased UO were risk factors for 90-day mortality, ICU mortality, hospital mortality, use of MV and vasopressor agents. Conclusion The decreased and increased UO both were significantly associated with short-term mortality, the relationship between UO and mortality was U-shape rather than linear.

Abstract
Management of worsening heart failure (WHF) has traditionally been hospital‐based, but with the rising burden of heart failure (HF), the pressure on healthcare systems exerted by this disease necessitates a different strategy than long (and costly) hospital stays. A strategy for outpatient intravenous (IV) diuretic treatment of WHF has been developed in certain American centres in the past 10 years, whereas European centres have been mostly favouring ‘classic’ in‐hospital management of WHF. Embracing novel, outpatient approaches for treating WHF could substantially reduce the burden on healthcare systems while improving patient's satisfaction and quality of life. The present article is intended to provide essential knowledge and practical guidelines aimed at helping clinicians implement these new ambulatory approaches using day hospital and/or at‐home hospitalization. The topics addressed by our group of HF experts include the pathophysiological background of diuretic therapy, the most suitable profile of WHF that may be managed in an ambulatory setting, the pharmacological protocols that can be used, as well as a detailed description of healthcare structures that can be proposed to deliver these ambulatory care interventions. The practical aspects of day hospital and hospital‐at‐home IV diuretic administration are specifically emphasized. The algorithm provided along with the practical IV diuretic protocols should assist HF clinicians in implementing this new approach in their local clinical setting.

Abstract
Despite the incompletely understood multiple etiologies and underlying mechanisms, cardiorenal syndrome is characterized by decreased glomerular filtration and sodium avidity. The underlying level of renal sodium avidity is of primary importance in driving a congested heart failure phenotype and ultimately determining the response to diuretic therapy. Historically, mechanisms of kidney sodium avidity and resultant diuretic resistance were primarily extrapolated to cardiorenal syndrome from non-heart failure populations. Yet, the mechanisms appear to differ between these populations. Recent literature in acute decompensated heart failure has refuted several classically accepted diuretic resistance mechanisms and reshaped how we conceptualize diuretic resistance mechanisms in cardiorenal syndrome. Herein, we propose an anatomically based categorization of diuretic resistance mechanisms to establish the relative importance of specific transporters and translate findings toward therapeutic strategies. Within this categorical structure, we discuss classic and novel mechanisms of diuretic resistance.

Abstract
Renal sodium and water retention with resulting extracellular volume expansion and redistribution are hallmark features of heart failure syndromes. However, congestion assessment, monitoring, and treatment represent a real challenge in daily clinical practice. This document reviewed historical and contemporary evidence of available methods for determining volume status and discuss pharmacological aspects and pathophysiological principles that underlie diuretic use.

Abstract
Nalfurafine is a G-protein-biased KOR (kappa opioid receptor) agonist that produces analgesia and lacks central nervous system adverse effects. Here, we examined the cardiovascular and renal responses to intravenous and oral nalfurafine alone and in combination with furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide, or amiloride. We hypothesized that nalfurafine, given its distinct mechanism of vasopressin inhibition, would increase urine output to these diuretics and limit electrolyte loss. Following catheterization, conscious Sprague-Dawley rats received an isotonic saline infusion and were then administered an intravenous bolus of nalfurafine, a diuretic, or a combination. Mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and urine output were recorded for 90 minutes. In another study, rats were placed in metabolic cages and administered drug in an oral volume load. Hourly urine samples were then collected for 5 hours. Intravenous and oral nalfurafine produced a marked diuresis, antinatriuresis, antikaliuresis, and a decrease in mean arterial pressure. Compared with diuretic treatment alone, intravenous coadministration with nalfurafine significantly increased urine output to furosemide and hydrochlorothiazide and decreased sodium and potassium excretion. Notably, mean arterial pressure was reduced with nalfurafine/diuretic combination therapy compared to diuretics alone. Similarly, oral coadministration of nalfurafine significantly increased urine output to hydrochlorothiazide and decreased sodium and potassium excretion, whereas combination with furosemide only limited the amount of sodium excreted. Further, both intravenous and oral coadministration of nalfurafine enhanced the diuresis to amiloride and decreased sodium excretion. Together, these findings demonstrate that nalfurafine enhances the diuresis to standard-of-care diuretics without causing an excessive loss of electrolytes, offering a new approach to treat several cardiovascular conditions.

Dose of furosemide before admission predicts diuretic efficiency and long-term prognosis in acute heart failure. ESC Heart Fail 2022; 9:656-666. [PMID: 34766460 PMCID: PMC8788037 DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.13696] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2021] [Revised: 09/21/2021] [Accepted: 10/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS The outpatient diuretic dose is a marker of diuretic resistance and prognosis in chronic heart failure (HF). Still, the impact of the preadmission dose on diuretic efficiency (DE) and prognosis in acute HF is not fully known. METHODS AND RESULTS We conducted an observational and prospective study. All patients admitted for acute HF treated with intravenous diuretic and at least one criterion of congestion on admission were evaluated. Decongestion [physical examination, hemoconcentration, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) change, and lung ultrasound], DE (weight loss and urine output per unit of 40 mg furosemide), and urinary sodium were monitored on the fifth day of admission. DE was dichotomized into high-low based on the median value. A multivariate Cox regression analysis was conducted to find predictors of HF readmission or mortality. A total of 105 patients were included between July 2017 and July 2019. Mean age was 74.5 ± 12.0 years, 64.8% were male, 33.3% had de novo HF, and mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 46 ± 17%. Median follow-up was 26 [15-35] months. Low DE based on weight loss was associated with a higher previous dose of furosemide (odds ratio [OR] 1.01 [1.00-1.02]), thiazide treatment before admission (OR 9.37 [2.19-40.14]), and lower diastolic blood pressure (OR 0.95 [0.91-0.98]) in the multivariate regression model. Only previous dose of furosemide (OR 1.01 [1.00-1.02]) and haemoglobin at admission (OR 0.76 [0.58-0.99]) were associated with low DE based on urine output in the multivariate analysis. The correlation between the previous dose of furosemide and DE based on weight loss was poor (r = -0.12; P = 0.209) and with DE based on urine output was weak to moderate (r = -0.33; P < 0.001). Low DE based on weight loss and urine output was associated with lesser decongestion measured by NT-proBNP (P = 0.011; P = 0.007), hemoconcentration (P = 0.006; P = 0.044), and lung ultrasound (P = 0.034; P = 0.029), but not by physical examination (P = 0.506; P = 0.560). Survival and event-free survival in acute decompensated HF (ADHF) were lower than in de novo HF; a preadmission dose of furosemide > 80 mg in ADHF identified patients with particularly poor prognosis (log-rank < 0.001). In ADHF, the preadmission dose of furosemide (hazard ratio [HR] 1.34 [1.08-1.67] per 40 mg) and NT-proBNP at admission (HR 1.03 [1.01-1.06] per 1000 pg/mL) were independently associated with mortality or HF readmission in the multivariate Cox regression analysis. CONCLUSIONS The outpatient dose of furosemide before acute HF admission predicts DE and must be taken into account when deciding on the initial diuretic dose. In ADHF, the outpatient dose of furosemide can predict long-term prognosis better than DE during hospitalization.

Abstract
Background Diuretic Resistance in Acute Heart Failure (DR-AHF) was designed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the early tolvaptan (a vasopressin-2 receptor antagonist) add-on therapy in patients with AHF with renal dysfunction and to provide clinical evidence of loop diuretic resistance. Methods and Results This single-centered, open-labeled, randomized, and controlled trial enrolled 128 patients hospitalized with AHF, as participants. These patients with a wet-warm phenotype, whose estimated glomerular filtration rates are of ≥15 ml/min/1.73 m2 and ≤ 60 ml/min/1.73 m2, with a cumulative urine output of <300 ml 2 h after the first dose of intravenous furosemide, will be randomly assigned 1:1 to receive standard care with an uptitrating intravenous furosemide alone, or a combination therapy with 15 mg of tolvaptan administered once daily for 2 days. The standard furosemide treatment will follow the latest position statements of the Heart Failure Association. The primary endpoint is the cumulative urine output at 48 h. The key secondary endpoints include the improvement of fractional excretion of sodium at 6 h, the total dose of furosemide, and the incidence of worsening renal function (WRF) at 48 h. Conclusions Although the combination of diuretic treatment has recently gained more attention due to its physiologically synergistic action, its advantages may be outweighed by the substantial risk of electrolyte disturbances and severe WRF. Further, there is no consensus on the time point for early starting of add-on therapy and for the preferred diuretic combination. Trial registration NCT04331132.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reducing congestion remains a primary target of therapy for acutely decompensated heart failure. The VENUS-HF EFS (VENUS-Heart Failure Early Feasibility Study) is the first clinical trial testing intermittent occlusion of the superior vena cava with the preCARDIA system, a catheter mounted balloon and pump console, to improve decongestion in acutely decompensated heart failure. METHODS In a multicenter, prospective, single-arm exploratory safety and feasibility trial, 30 patients with acutely decompensated heart failure were assigned to preCARDIA therapy for 12 or 24 hours. The primary safety outcome was a composite of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events through 30 days. Secondary end points included technical success defined as successful preCARDIA placement, treatment, and removal and reduction in right atrial and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure. Other efficacy measures included urine output and patient-reported symptoms. RESULTS Thirty patients were enrolled and assigned to receive the preCARDIA system. Freedom from device- or procedure-related major adverse events was observed in 100% (n=30/30) of patients. The system was successfully placed, activated and removed after 12 (n=6) or 24 hours (n=23) in 97% (n=29/30) of patients. Compared with baseline values, right atrial pressure decreased by 34% (17±4 versus 11±5 mm Hg, P<0.001) and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure decreased by 27% (31±8 versus 22±9 mm Hg, P<0.001). Compared with pretreatment values, urine output and net fluid balance increased by 130% and 156%, respectively, with up to 24 hours of treatment (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS We report the first-in-human experience of intermittent superior vena cava occlusion using the preCARDIA system to reduce congestion in acutely decompensated heart failure. PreCARDIA treatment for up to 24 hours was well tolerated without device- or procedure-related serious or major adverse events and associated with reduced filling pressures and increased urine output. These results support future studies characterizing the clinical utility of the preCARDIA system. REGISTRATION URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov; Unique identifier: NCT03836079.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sodium-glucose co-transporter type 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) were developed as glucose-lowering agents for the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Unexpectedly, they showed a significant reduction in hospitalization for heart failure and hard renal outcomes in patients with and without T2D. Underlying mechanisms remain a matter of debate. AREAS COVERED We summarize the protective renal effects of SGLT2is in patients with cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease (CKD, especially with albuminuria) or heart failure; a description of the safety of SGLT2is, with a special focus on the risk/benefit balance in people with stage 3 CKD; a comprehensive discussion of mechanisms that could explain nephro-protection; a reappraisal of the positioning of SGLT2is in recent international guidelines. EXPERT OPINION Several mechanisms could contribute to improved renal prognosis with SGLT2is, among which a reduction in intraglomerular pressure by restoring the tubuloglomerular feedback, a diuretic effect that contributes to lower albuminuria and renal decongestion, especially if fluid overload is present, a reduction in renal oxygen consumption, an improvement of heart failure status with less cardiorenal syndrome and a lower risk of acute renal injury. All these effects may be mutually not exclusive, and their respective contribution may differ according to patient characteristics.

Because heart failure (HF) is more lethal than some of the common malignancies in the general population, such as prostate cancer in men and breast cancer in women, there is a need for a cost-effective prognostic biomarker in HF beyond natriuretic peptides, especially concerning congestion, the most common reason for the hospitalisation of patients with worsening of HF. Furthermore, despite diuretics being the mainstay of treatment for volume overload in HF patients, no randomised trials have shown the mortality benefits of diuretics in HF patients, and appropriate diuretic titration strategies in this population are unclear. Recently, carbohydrate antigen (CA) 125, a well-established marker of ovarian cancer, emerged as both a prognostic indicator and a guide in tailoring decongestion therapy for patients with HF. Hence, in this review the authors present the molecular background regarding the role of CA125 in HF and address valuable clinical aspects regarding the relationship of CA125 with both prognosis and therapeutic management in HF.

The Impact of the Duration of Cardiac Troponin I Elevation on the Clinical Prognosis as Well as Incidence of New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation Respectively in Elderly Non-ST-Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients without PCI. J Inflamm Res 2021; 14:6907-6916.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to investigate the impact of the duration of cardiac troponin I (TnI) elevation on the prognosis and incidence of new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) in elderly patients with non-ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (NSTE-AMI). Methods A total of 383 NSTE-AMI patients ≥75 years old were enrolled in this study and divided into two groups: in 194 cases, the duration of TnI elevation was ≥14 days (group 1), and in 189 cases, the duration of TnI elevation was <14 days (group 2). The patients were followed up for 60 months. The effect of TnI on prognosis was studied by cohort. The primary endpoint was a composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, reinfarction, ischemic stroke, and hospitalization for heart failure, and the secondary endpoint was all-cause death. A case–control study design was adopted to analyze the influencing factors of NOAF occurrence in Group 1 and Group 2. Results The median duration of follow-up was 26 months. Multivariate Cox’s regression analysis revealed that the duration of TnI elevation ≥14 days and diuretic use were independent variables of the major composite endpoint (p < 0.01 for both), and the left ventricular ejection fraction and the duration of TnI elevation ≥14 days were independent related variables of all-cause death (p < 0.05). The duration of TnI elevation ≥14 days was correlated with the occurrence of NOAF, but, in the multivariate logistic regression model, only uric acid and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein were independently associated with NOAF (p < 0.05). Conclusion The duration of TnI elevation ≥14 days was the independent correlation factor of the major composite endpoint and all-cause death; high sensitivity C-reactive protein and uric acid are independent risk factors for NOAF.

Abstract
Epigenetic modifications viz. DNA methylation, histone modifications, and RNA-based alterations play a crucial role in the development of cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we investigated DNA methylation with an aim to reveal the epigenetic etiology of heart failure. Sprague-Dawley rats surviving myocardial infarction developed acute heart failure in 1 week. Genomic DNA methylation changes were profiled by bisulfite sequencing, and gene expression levels were analyzed by RNA-seq in failing and sham-operation hearts. A total of 3480 differentially methylated genes in the promoter regions including transcriptional start site and 1934 transcriptome-altered genes were identified in the defected hearts. Common differential genes were enriched by the gene ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway, and protein-protein interaction for HF phenotypes. Among these, Mettl11b, HDAC3, HDAC11, ubiquitination-related genes, and snoRNAs are new epigenetic classifiers that had not been reported yet, which may be important regulators in HF.

Abstract
Heart failure is frequently accompanied by kidney failure and co-incidence of these organ failures worsens the mortality in patients with heart failure. Recent clinical observations revealed that increased kidney venous pressure, rather than decreased cardiac output, causes the deterioration of kidney function in patients with heart failure. However, the underlying pathophysiology is unknown. Here, we found that decreased blood flow velocity in peritubular capillaries by kidney congestion and upregulation of endothelial nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling synergistically exacerbate kidney injury. We generated a novel mouse model with unilateral kidney congestion by constriction of the inferior vena cava between kidney veins. Intravital imaging highlighted the notable dilatation of peritubular capillaries and decreased kidney blood flow velocity in the congestive kidney. Damage after ischemia reperfusion injury was exacerbated in the congestive kidney and accumulation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes within peritubular capillaries was noted at the acute phase after injury. Similar results were obtained in vitro, in which polymorphonuclear leukocytes adhesion on activated endothelial cells was decreased in flow velocity-dependent manner but cancelled by inhibition of NF-κB signaling. Pharmacological inhibition of NF-κB for the mice subjected by both kidney congestion and ischemia reperfusion injury ameliorated the accumulation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and subsequent exacerbation of kidney injury. Thus, our study demonstrates the importance of decreased blood flow velocity accompanying activated NF-κB signaling in aggravation of kidney injury. Hence, inhibition of NF-κB signaling may be a therapeutic candidate for the vicious cycle between heart and kidney failure with increased kidney venous pressure.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are new oral glucose-lowering agents that provide cardiovascular and renal protection in both patients with and without type 2 diabetes. Because of their unique mechanism of action, increased glucosuria is associated with osmotic diuresis and some natriuresis, yet the latter seems mostly transient. The potential role of the diuretic effect in overall cardiovascular and renal protection by SGLT2is remains a matter of debate. Precise evaluation of the diuretic effect is not so easy and most studies relied upon indirect estimations that led to divergent results, presumably also explained by different study designs and population characteristics. Everybody agrees upon the fact that SGLT2is are different from other classical diuretics (thiazides and loop diuretics) as they present some favourable properties, i.e. reduced sympathetic activity, preserved potassium balance, lower risk of acute renal injury, decrease of serum uric acid level. The potential role of the diuretic effect of SGLT2is on renal outcomes is still unclear, yet their ability to reduce albuminuria and dampen the risk of heart failure may contribute to improve renal prognosis besides other complex underlying mechanisms. In this comprehensive review we first critically analyse the results obtained with indirect methods that assess a diuretic effect of SGLT2is, second we describe the specificities of the diuretic activity of SGLT2is compared with other classical diuretics, and third we discuss the potential mechanisms by which the diuretic effect of SGLT2is could contribute to the improvement of renal outcomes consistently reported with this innovative amazing pharmacological class.

Effects of Metolazone Administration on Congestion, Diuretic Response and Renal Function in Patients with Advanced Heart Failure. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10184207. [PMID: 34575318 PMCID: PMC8465476 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10184207] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2021] [Revised: 09/08/2021] [Accepted: 09/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Advanced heart failure (HF) is a condition often requiring elevated doses of loop diuretics. Therefore, these patients often experience poor diuretic response. Both conditions have a detrimental impact on prognosis and hospitalization. Aims: This retrospective, multicenter study evaluates the effect of the addition of oral metolazone on diuretic response (DR), clinical congestion, NTproBNP values, and renal function over hospitalization phase. Follow-up analysis for a 6-month follow-up period was performed. Methods: We enrolled 132 patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) in advanced NYHA class with reduced ejection fraction (EF < 40%) taking a mean furosemide amount of 250 ± 120 mg/day. Sixty-five patients received traditional loop diuretic treatment plus metolazone (Group M). The mean dose ranged from 7.5 to 15 mg for one week. Sixty-seven patients continued the furosemide (Group F). Congestion score was evaluated according to the ESC recommendations. DR was assessed by the formula diuresis/40 mg of furosemide. Results: Patients in Group M and patients in Group F showed a similar prevalence of baseline clinical congestion (3.1 ± 0.7 in Group F vs. 3 ± 0.8 in Group M) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) (51% in Group M vs. 57% in Group F; p = 0.38). Patients in Group M experienced a better congestion score at discharge compared to patients in Group F (C score: 1 ± 1 in Group M vs. 3 ± 1 in Group F p > 0.05). Clinical congestion resolution was also associated with weight reduction (−6 ± 2 in Group M vs. −3 ± 1 kg in Group F, p < 0.05). Better DR response was observed in Group M compared to F (940 ± 149 mL/40 mgFUROSEMIDE/die vs. 541 ± 314 mL/40 mgFUROSEMIDE/die; p < 0.01), whereas median ΔNTproBNP remained similar between the two groups (−4819 ± 8718 in Group M vs. −3954 ± 5560 pg/mL in Group F NS). These data were associated with better daily diuresis during hospitalization in Group M (2820 ± 900 vs. 2050 ± 1120 mL p < 0.05). No differences were found in terms of WRF development and electrolyte unbalance at discharge, although Group M had a significant saline solution administration during hospitalization. Follow-up analysis did not differ between the group but a reduced trend for recurrent hospitalization was observed in the M group (26% vs. 38%). Conclusions: Metolazone administration could be helpful in patients taking an elevated loop diuretics dose. Use of thiazide therapy is associated with better decongestion and DR. Current findings could suggest positive insights due to the reduced amount of loop diuretics in patients with advanced HF.

Compensatory post-diuretic renal sodium reabsorption is not a dominant mechanism of diuretic resistance in acute heart failure. Eur Heart J 2021; 42:4468-4477.

Abstract
AIMS In healthy volunteers, the kidney deploys compensatory post-diuretic sodium reabsorption (CPDSR) following loop diuretic-induced natriuresis, minimizing sodium excretion and producing a neutral sodium balance. CPDSR is extrapolated to non-euvolemic populations as a diuretic resistance mechanism; however, its importance in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients with ADHF in the Mechanisms of Diuretic Resistance cohort receiving intravenous loop diuretics (462 administrations in 285 patients) underwent supervised urine collections entailing an immediate pre-diuretic spot urine sample, then 6-h (diuretic-induced natriuresis period) and 18-h (post-diuretic period) urine collections. The average spot urine sodium concentration immediately prior to diuretic administration [median 15 h (13-17) after last diuretic] was 64 ± 33 mmol/L with only 4% of patients having low (<20 mmol/L) urine sodium consistent with CPDSR. Paradoxically, greater 6-h diuretic-induced natriuresis was associated with larger 18-h post-diuretic spontaneous natriuresis (r = 0.7, P < 0.001). Higher pre-diuretic urine sodium to creatinine ratio (r = 0.37, P < 0.001) was the strongest predictor of post-diuretic spontaneous natriuresis. In a subgroup of patients (n = 43) randomized to protocol-driven intensified diuretic therapies, the mean diuretic-induced natriuresis increased three-fold. In contrast to the substantial decrease in spontaneous natriuresis predicted by CPDSR, no change in post-diuretic spontaneous natriuresis was observed (P = 0.47). CONCLUSION On a population level, CPDSR was not an important driver of diuretic resistance in hypervolemic ADHF. Contrary to CPDSR, a greater diuretic-induced natriuresis predicted a larger post-diuretic spontaneous natriuresis. Basal sodium avidity, rather than diuretic-induced CPDSR, appears to be the predominant determinate of both diuretic-induced and post-diuretic natriuresis in hypervolemic ADHF.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is an important health care issue in children because of its considerable morbidity and mortality. Advanced HF encompasses patients who remained symptomatic despite optimal medical treatment and includes patients who require special management, such as continuous inotropic therapy, mechanical circulatory support, or heart transplantation (HT). HT is the gold standard for children with advanced HF; nonetheless, the number of suitable donors has not increased for decades, leading to prolonged waitlist times and increased mortality rates. Therefore, the role of pediatric mechanic circulatory support has been assessed as an alternative treatment in patients in whom heart transplant could not be performed. The authors discuss the epidemiology, causes, pathophysiology, clinical manifestation, medical treatment, device therapy, and HT in pediatric HF, and a particular emphasis was posed on patients with advanced HF.

Multinephron Segment Diuretic Therapy to Overcome Diuretic Resistance in Acute Heart Failure: A Single-Center Experience. J Card Fail 2021; 28:21-31.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The concept of multinephron segment diuretic therapy (MSDT) has been recommended in severe diuretic resistance with only expert opinion and case-level evidence. The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of MSDT, combining 4 diuretic classes, in acute heart failure (AHF) complicated by diuretic resistance. METHODS AND RESULTS A retrospective analysis was conducted in patients hospitalized with AHF at a single medical center who received MSDT, including concomitant carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, loop, thiazide, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist diuretics. Subjects served as their own controls with efficacy evaluated as urine output and weight change before and after MSDT. Serum chemistries, renal replacement therapies, and in-hospital mortality were evaluated for safety. Patients with severe diuretic resistance before MSDT were analyzed as a subcohort. A total of 167 patients with AHF and diuretic resistance received MSDT. MSDT was associated with increased median 24-hour urine output in the first day of therapy compared with the previous day (2.16 L [0.95-4.14 L] to 3.08 L [1.74-4.86 L], P = .003) in the total cohort and in the Severe diuretic resistance cohort (0.91 L [0.43-1.43 L] to 2.08 L [1.13-3.96 L], P < .001). The median cumulative weight loss at day 7 or discharge was -7.4 kg (-15.3 to -3.4 kg) (P = .02). Neither serum sodium, chloride, potassium, bicarbonate, or creatinine changed significantly relative to baseline (P > .05 for all). CONCLUSIONS In an AHF cohort with diuretic resistance, MSDT was associated with increased diuresis without changes in serum chemistries or kidney function. Prospective studies of MSDT in AHF and diuretic resistance are warranted.

Abstract
Until recently, most studies of heart failure (HF) focused on body fluid dynamics through control of the sodium and water balance in the body. Chloride has remained largely ignored in the medical literature, and in clinical practice, chloride is generally considered as an afterthought to the better-known electrolytes of sodium and potassium. In recent years, however, the important role of chloride in the distribution of body fluid has emerged in the field of HF pathophysiology. Investigation of HF pathophysiology according to the dynamics of serum chloride is rational considering that chloride is an established key electrolyte for tubulo-glomerular feedback in the kidney and a possible regulatory electrolyte for body fluid distribution. The present review provides a historical overview of HF pathophysiology, followed by descriptions of the recent attention to the electrolyte chloride in the cardiovascular field, the known role of chloride in the human body, and recent new findings regarding the role of chloride leading to the proposed ‘chloride theory’ hypothesis in HF pathophysiology. Next, vascular and organ congestion in HF is discussed, and finally, a new classification and potential therapeutic strategy are proposed according to the ‘chloride theory’.

Abstract
Heart failure is a major public health problem, which is associated with significant mortality, morbidity, and healthcare expenditures. A substantial amount of the morbidity is attributed to volume overload, for which loop diuretics are a mandatory treatment. However, the variability in response to diuretics and development of diuretic resistance adversely affect the clinical outcomes. Morevoer, there exists a marked intra- and inter-patient variability in response to diuretics that affects the clinical course and related adverse outcomes. In the present article, we review the mechanisms underlying the development of diuretic resistance. The role of the autonomic nervous system and chronobiology in the pathogenesis of congestive heart failure and response to therapy are also discussed. Establishing a novel model for overcoming diuretic resistance is presented based on a patient-tailored variability and chronotherapy-guided machine learning algorithm that comprises clinical, laboratory, and sensor-derived inputs, including inputs from pulmonary artery measurements. Inter- and intra-patient signatures of variabilities, alterations of biological clock, and autonomic nervous system responses are embedded into the algorithm; thus, it may enable a tailored dose regimen in a continuous manner that accommodates the highly dynamic complex system.

Abstract
Renal sodium and water retention with resulting extracellular volume expansion and redistribution are hallmark features of heart failure syndromes. However, congestion assessment, monitoring, and treatment represent a real challenge in daily clinical practice. This document reviewed historical and contemporary evidence of available methods for determining volume status and discuss pharmacological aspects and pathophysiological principles that underlie diuretic use.

Abstract
The short-term mortality and rehospitalization rates after admission for acute heart failure (AHF) remain high, despite the high level of adherence to contemporary practice guidelines. Observational data from non-randomized studies in AHF strongly support the in-hospital administration of oral evidence-based modifying chronic heart failure (HF) medications (i.e., b-blockers, ACE inhibitors, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists) to reduce morbidity and mortality. Interestingly, a well-designed prospective randomized multicenter study (PIONEER-HF) showed an improved clinical outcome and stress/injury biomarker profile after in-hospital administration of sacubitril/valsartan (sac/val) as compared to enalapril, in hemodynamically stable patients with AHF. However, sac/val implementation during hospitalization remains suboptimal due to the lack of an integrated individualized plan or well-defined appropriateness criteria for transition to oral therapies, an absence of specific guidelines regarding dose selection and the up-titration process, and uncertainty regarding patient eligibility. In the present expert consensus position paper, clinical practical recommendations are proposed, together with an action plan algorithm, to encourage and facilitate sac/val administration during hospitalization after an AHF episode with the aim of improving efficiencies of care and resource utilization.

Abstract
Clinical guidelines include diuretics for the treatment of heart failure (HF), not to decrease mortality but to decrease symptoms and hospitalizations. More attention has been paid to the worse outcomes, including mortality, associated with continual diuretic therapy due to hypochloremia. Studies have revealed a pivotal role for serum chloride in the pathophysiology of HF and is now a target of treatment to decrease mortality. The prognostic value of serum chloride in HF has been the subject of much attention. Mechanistically, the macula densa, a region in the renal juxtaglomerular apparatus, relies on chloride levels to sense salt and volume status. The recent discovery of with-no-lysine (K) (WNK) protein kinase as an intracellular chloride sensor sheds light on the possible reason of diuretic resistance in HF. The action of chloride on WNKs results in the upregulation of the sodium-potassium-chloride cotransporter and sodium-chloride cotransporter receptors, which could lead to increased electrolyte and fluid reabsorption. Genetic studies have revealed that a variant of a voltage-sensitive chloride channel (CLCNKA) gene leads to almost a 50% decrease in current amplitude and function of the renal chloride channel. This variant increases the risk of HF. Several trials exploring the prognostic value of chloride in both acute and chronic HF have shown mostly positive results, some even suggesting a stronger role than sodium. However, so far, interventional trials exploring serum chloride as a therapeutic target have been largely inconclusive. This study is a review of the pathophysiologic effects of hypochloremia in HF, the genetics of chloride channels, and clinical trials that are underway to investigate novel approaches to HF management.

Abstract
Targeted therapy refers to exploiting the specific therapeutic drugs against the pathogenic molecules (a protein or a gene) or cells. The drug specifically binds to disease-causing molecules or cells without affecting normal tissue, thus enabling personalized and precision treatment. Initially, therapeutic drugs included antibodies and small molecules, (e.g. nucleic acid drugs). With the advancement of the biology technology and immunotherapy, the gene editing and cell editing techniques are utilized for the disease treatment. Currently, targeted therapies applied to treat cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) mainly include protein drugs, gene editing technologies, nucleic acid drugs and cell therapy. Although targeted therapy has demonstrated excellent efficacy in pre-clinical and clinical trials, several limitations need to be recognized and overcome in clinical application, (e.g. off-target events, gene mutations, etc.). This review introduces the mechanisms of different targeted therapies, and mainly describes the targeted therapy applied in the CVDs. Furthermore, we made comparative analysis to clarify the advantages and disadvantages of different targeted therapies. This overview is expected to provide a new concept to the treatment of the CVDs.

Diuretic response and effects of diuretic omission in ambulatory heart failure patients on chronic low-dose loop diuretic therapy. Eur J Heart Fail 2021; 23:1110-1119. [PMID: 33641220 DOI: 10.1002/ejhf.2145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2020] [Revised: 02/23/2021] [Accepted: 02/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS To study loop diuretic response and effect of loop diuretic omission in ambulatory heart failure (HF) patients on chronic low-dose loop diuretics. METHODS AND RESULTS Urine collections were performed on two consecutive days in 40 ambulatory HF patients with 40-80 mg furosemide (day 1 with loop diuretic; day 2 without loop diuretic). Three phases were collected each day: (i) first 6 h; (ii) rest of the day; and (iii) night. On the day of loop diuretic intake, the total natriuresis was 125.9 (86.9-155.0) mmol/24 h and urine output was 1650 (1380-2025) mL/24 h. There was a clear loop diuretic response with a natriuresis of 9.4 (6.7-15.9) mmol/h and a urine output of 117 (83-167) mL/h during the first 6 h, followed by a significant drop in natriuresis and urine output during the rest of the day [2.6 (1.8-4.8) mmol/h and 55 (33-71) mL/h] and night [2.2 (1.6-3.5) mmol/h and 44 (34-73) mL/h]. On day 2, after loop diuretic omission, the natriuresis and urine output remained similarly low the entire day, resulting in a 50% reduction in natriuresis [55.1 (33.5-77.7) mmol/24 h; P < 0.001] and a 31% reduction in urine output [1035 (875-1425) mL/24 h; P < 0.001] compared with the day of loop diuretic intake. CONCLUSION Patients with HF on chronic loop diuretic treatment still have a clear diuretic response phase, while loop diuretic omission leads to a significant drop in natriuresis and urine output, arguing against routine cessation of low-dose loop diuretics.

Karakus A, Uguz B. Approach to decongestion therapy in patients with acute decompensated heart failure: the echocardiography guided strategy. KARDIOLOGIIA 2021; 61:76-82. [PMID: 33715612 DOI: 10.18087/cardio.2021.2.n1472] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2020] [Revised: 01/03/2021] [Accepted: 02/19/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Goal The E / (Ea×Sa) index is an echocardiographic parameter to determine a patient's left ventricular filling pressure. This study aims to determine the safety and efficacy of the echocardiographic E / (Ea×Sa) index guided diuretic therapy compared to urine output (conventional) guided diuretic treatment.Material and Methods In this cross-sectional study, patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) who were hospitalized due to acute decompensation episode were consecutively allocated in a 1:1 ratio to monitoring arms. The diuretic dose, which provided 20 % reduction in the E / (Ea×Sa) index value compared to initial value, was determined as adequate dose in echocardiography guided monitoring group. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), change in weight, NT pro-BNP level and dyspnea assessment on visual analogue scale (VAS) were analyzed at the end of the monitoring.Results Although the similar doses of diuretics were used in both groups, the patients with E / (Ea×Sa) index guided strategy had the substantial lower NT pro-BNP level within 72 hours after diuretic administration (2172 vs.2514 pg / mL, p= 0.036). VAS score on dyspnea assessment was significantly better in the patients with E / (Ea×Sa) index guided strategy (52 vs. 65; p= 0.04). And, in term of body weight loss (4.93 vs.5.21 kg, p=0.87) and e-GFR (54.58±8.6 vs. 52.65±9.1 mL / min / 1.73 m2p=0.74) in both groups are associated with similar outcomes. In both groups, there was no worsening renal function and electrolyte imbalance that required stopping or decreasing loop diuretic dosing.Conclusions The E / (Ea×Sa) index guidance might be a safe strategy for more effective diuretic response that deserves consideration for selected a subgroup of acute decomposed HFrEF patients.
