Experimentally Induced Peripheral Venous Congestion Exacerbates Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Neurohormonal and Endothelial Cell Activation in Patients With Systolic Heart Failure. J Card Fail 2024; 30:580-591. [PMID: 37625581 PMCID: PMC10884348 DOI: 10.1016/j.cardfail.2023.07.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/28/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Venous congestion (VC) is a hallmark of symptomatic heart failure (HF) requiring hospitalization; however, its role in the pathogenesis of HF progression remains unclear. We investigated whether peripheral VC exacerbates inflammation, oxidative stress and neurohormonal and endothelial cell (EC) activation in patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). METHODS AND RESULTS Two matched groups of patients with HFrEF and with no peripheral VC vs without recent HF hospitalization were studied. We modeled peripheral VC by inflating a cuff around the dominant arm, targeting ∼ 30 mmHg increase in venous pressure (venous stress test [VST]). Blood and ECs were sampled before and after 90 minutes of VST. We studied 44 patients (age 53 ± 12 years, 32% female). Circulating endothelin-1, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, isoprostane, angiotensin II (ang-2), angiopoietin-2, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, and CD146 significantly increased after the VST. Enhanced endothelin-1 and angiopoietin-2 responses to the VST were present in patients with vs without recent hospitalization and were prospectively associated with incident HF-related events; 6698 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA probe sets were differentially expressed in ECs after VST. CONCLUSIONS Experimental VC exacerbates inflammation, oxidative stress, neurohormonal and EC activation and promotes unfavorable transcriptome remodeling in ECs of patients with HFrEF. A distinct biological sensitivity to VC appears to be associated with high risk for HF progression.

Abstract
Acute heart failure (AHF) represents a common clinical scenario that requires prompt evaluation and therapy and that is characterized by a high risk of mortality or subsequent rehospitalizations. The pathophysiology leading to AHF decompensation is still not fully understood. Significant activation of inflammatory pathways has been identified in patients with AHF, particularly in its most severe forms, and it has been hypothesized that systemic inflammation has a role in AHF pathogenesis. Several inflammatory mediators and cytokines, such as high sensitivity C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, interleukin-1, soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 and galectin-3, have been shown to play a role in the pathogenesis, development and worsening of this condition with an independent prediction of adverse outcomes. This manuscript reviews the prevalence and prognostic value of systemic inflammation in AHF, as well as the potential role of anti-inflammatory therapies, focusing on available evidence from clinical trials and ongoing studies.

Abstract
ABSTRACT During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the epidemiology of heart failure significantly changed with reduced access to health system resources and a worsening of patients' outcome. Understanding the causes of these phenomena could be important to refine the management of heart failure during and after the pandemic. Telemedicine was associated with an improvement in heart failure outcomes in several studies; therefore, it may help in refining the out-of-hospital care of heart failure. In this review, the authors describe the changes in heart failure epidemiology during the COVID-19 pandemic; analyse available evidence on use and benefit of telemedicine during the pandemic and prepandemic periods; and discuss approaches to optimize the home-based or outpatient heart failure management in the future, beyond the pandemic.

Abstract
AIMS STRONG-HF examined a high-intensity care (HIC) strategy of rapid up-titration of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) and close follow-up after acute heart failure (AHF) admission. We assess the role of age on efficacy and safety of HIC. METHODS AND RESULTS Hospitalized AHF patients, not treated with optimal GDMT were randomized to HIC or usual care. The primary endpoint of 180-day death or HF readmission occurred equally in older (>65 years, n = 493, 74 ± 5 years) and younger patients (53 ± 11 years, adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.02, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.73-1.43, p = 0.89). Older patients received slightly lower GDMT to day 21, but same doses at day 90 and 180. The effect of HIC on the primary endpoint was numerically higher in younger (aHR 0.51, 95% CI 0.32-0.82) than older patients (aHR 0.73, 95% CI 0.46-1.15, adjusted interaction p = 0.30), partially related to COVID-19 deaths. After exclusion of COVID-19 deaths, the effect of HIC was similar in younger (aHR 0.51, 95% CI 0.32-0.82) and older patients (aHR 0.63, 95% CI 0.32-1.02, adjusted interaction p = 0.56), with no treatment-by-age interaction (interaction p = 0.57). HIC induced larger improvements in quality of life to day 90 in younger (EQ-VAS adjusted-mean difference 5.51, 95% CI 3.20-7.82) than in older patients (1.77, 95% CI -0.75 to 4.29, interaction p = 0.032). HIC was associated with similar rates of adverse events in older and younger patients. CONCLUSION High-intensity care after AHF was safe and resulted in a significant reduction of all-cause death or HF readmission at 180 days across the study age spectrum. Older patients have smaller benefits in terms of quality of life.

Abstract
Introduction Recurrent hospitalizations for worsening heart failure (WHF) represent a major global public health concern, resulting in significant individual morbimortality and socioeconomic costs. This real-life study aimed to determine the rate and predictors of readmission for WHF in a cohort of outpatients with chronic heart failure (CHF) followed in a heart failure clinic (HFC) at a university hospital. Methods We conducted a longitudinal, observational, and retrospective study of all consecutive CHF patients seen at the HFC of the São Francisco Xavier Hospital, Lisbon, by a multidisciplinary team in 2019. The patients were followed for one year and were on optimized therapy. The inclusion criteria for the study were patients who had been hospitalized and subsequently discharged at least three months prior to their enrollment. Patient demographics, heart failure (HF) characterization, comorbidities, pharmacological treatment, treatments of decompensated HF in the day hospital (DH), hospitalizations for WHF, and death were recorded. We applied logistic regression analysis to assess predictors of hospital readmission for HF. Results A total of 351 patients were included: 90 patients (26%) had WHF requiring treatment with intravenous diuretics in the DH; 45 patients (mean age: 79.1 ± 9.0 years) were readmitted for decompensated HF within one year (12.8%) with no gender difference, while 87.2% of the patients (mean age: 74.9 ± 12.1 years) were never readmitted. Readmitted patients were significantly older than those who were not (p=0.031). Additionally, they had a higher New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification (p<.001), were on a higher daily dose of furosemide (p=0.008) at the time of the inclusion visit, were more frequently affected by the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (p=0.004); had been treated more often in the DH for WHF (p<.001) and had a higher mortality rate (p<.001) at one year. Conclusions This study aimed to determine WHF patient readmission rates and predictors. According to our results, a higher NYHA class, the need for treatment in the DH for WHF, a daily dose of furosemide equal to or greater than 80 mg, and COPD were predictors of readmission for WHF. CHF patients continue to experience WHF and recurrent hospitalizations despite therapeutic advances and close follow-up in the HFC with the multidisciplinary team. Besides COPD, the HF readmission risk factors found were mainly related to advanced disease. Furthermore, the structured and multidisciplinary approach of our disease management program likely contributed to our relatively low rate of readmissions.

Abstract
In the last years, major progress occurred in heart failure (HF) management. Quadruple therapy is now mandatory for all the patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction. Whilst verciguat is becoming available across several countries, omecamtiv mecarbil is waiting to be released for clinical use. Concurrent use of potassium-lowering agents may counteract hyperkalaemia and facilitate renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitor implementations. The results of the EMPagliflozin outcomE tRial in Patients With chrOnic heaRt Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction (EMPEROR-Preserved) trial were confirmed by the Dapagliflozin in Heart Failure with Mildly Reduced or Preserved Ejection Fraction (DELIVER) trial, and we now have, for the first time, evidence for treatment of also patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction. In a pre-specified meta-analysis of major randomized controlled trials, sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors reduced all-cause mortality, cardiovascular (CV) mortality, and HF hospitalization in the patients with HF regardless of left ventricular ejection fraction. Other steps forward have occurred in the treatment of decompensated HF. Acetazolamide in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure with Volume Overload (ADVOR) trial showed that the addition of intravenous acetazolamide to loop diuretics leads to greater decongestion vs. placebo. The addition of hydrochlorothiazide to loop diuretics was evaluated in the CLOROTIC trial. Torasemide did not change outcomes, compared with furosemide, in TRANSFORM-HF. Ferric derisomaltose had an effect on the primary outcome of CV mortality or HF rehospitalizations in IRONMAN (rate ratio 0.82; 95% confidence interval 0.66-1.02; P = 0.070). Further options for the treatment of HF, including device therapies, cardiac contractility modulation, and percutaneous treatment of valvulopathies, are summarized in this article.

BACKGROUND Congestion is the main driver behind symptoms of heart failure (HF), but pathophysiology related to congestion remains poorly understood. OBJECTIVES Using pathway and differential expression analyses, the authors aim to identify biological processes and biomarkers associated with congestion in HF. METHODS A congestion score (sum of jugular venous pressure, orthopnea, and peripheral edema) was calculated in 1,245 BIOSTAT-CHF patients with acute or worsening HF. Patients with a score ranking in the bottom or top categories of congestion were deemed noncongested (n = 408) and severely congested (n = 142), respectively. Plasma concentrations of 363 unique proteins (Olink Proteomics Multiplex CVD-II, CVD-III, Immune Response and Oncology II panels) were compared between noncongested and severely congested patients. Results were validated in an independent validation cohort of 1,342 HF patients (436 noncongested and 232 severely congested). RESULTS Differential protein expression analysis showed 107/363 up-regulated and 6/363 down-regulated proteins in patients with congestion compared with those without. FGF-23, FGF-21, CA-125, soluble ST2, GDF-15, FABP4, IL-6, and BNP were the strongest up-regulated proteins (fold change [FC] >1.30, false discovery rate [FDR], P < 0.05). KITLG, EGF, and PON3 were the strongest down-regulated proteins (FC <-1.30, FDR P < 0.05). Pathways most prominently involved in congestion were related to inflammation, endothelial activation, and response to mechanical stimulus. The validation cohort yielded similar findings. CONCLUSIONS Severe congestion in HF is mainly associated with inflammation, endothelial activation, and mechanical stress. Whether these pathways play a causal role in the onset or progression of congestion remains to be established. The identified biomarkers may become useful for diagnosing and monitoring congestion status.

Abstract
Patients with heart failure (HF) and coronary artery disease (CAD) have a high risk for cardiovascular (CV) events including HF hospitalization, stroke, myocardial infarction (MI) and sudden cardiac death (SCD). The present study evaluated associations of proteomic biomarkers with CV outcome in patients with CAD and HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), shortly after a worsening HF episode. We performed a case-control study within the COMMANDER HF international, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial investigating the effects of the factor-Xa inhibitor rivaroxaban. Patients with the following first clinical events: HF hospitalization, SCD and the composite of MI or stroke were matched with corresponding controls for age, sex and study drug. Plasma concentrations of 276 proteins with known associations with CV and cardiometabolic mechanisms were analyzed. Results were corrected for multiple testing using false discovery rate (FDR). In 485 cases and 455 controls, 49 proteins were significantly associated with clinical events of which seven had an adjusted FDR < 0.001 (NT-proBNP, BNP, T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain containing 4 (TIMD4), fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23), growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15), pulmonary surfactant-associated protein D (PSP-D) and Spondin-1 (SPON1)). No significant interactions were identified between the type of clinical event (MI/stroke, SCD or HFH) and specific biomarkers (all interaction FDR > 0.20). When adding the biomarkers significantly associated with the above outcome to a clinical model (including NT-proBNP), the C-index increase was 0.057 (0.033-0.082), p < 0.0001 and the net reclassification index was 54.9 (42.5 to 67.3), p < 0.0001. In patients with HFrEF and CAD following HF hospitalization, we found that NT-proBNP, BNP, TIMD4, FGF-23, GDF-15, PSP-D and SPON1, biomarkers broadly associated with inflammation and remodeling mechanistic pathways, were strong but indiscriminate predictors of a variety of individual CV events.

Effect of systemic corticosteroid therapy for acute heart failure patients with elevated C-reactive protein. ESC Heart Fail 2022; 9:2225-2232. [PMID: 35393762 PMCID: PMC9288737 DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.13926] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2022] [Revised: 03/09/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS The current study explores whether degree of inflammation, reflected by C-reactive protein (CRP) level, modifies the effect of intravenous (IV) corticosteroid administered in the emergency department (ED) on clinical outcomes in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). METHODS AND RESULTS We selected patients diagnosed with AHF in the ED, with confirmed N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide > 300 pg/mL and CRP > 5 mg/L in the ED from the Epidemiology of Acute Heart Failure in the Emergency Departments (EAHFE) registry. In these 1109 patients, 121 were treated by corticosteroid. The corticosteroid therapy hazard ratio (HR) for 30 day all-cause mortality was 1.26 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.75-2.09, P = 0.38]. Although not statistically significant, HRs tended to decrease with increasing CRP level, with point estimates favouring corticosteroid at CRP levels above 20. In patients with CRP > 40 mg/L, with adjusted HRs of 0.56 (95% CI 0.20-1.55, P = 0.27) for 30 day all-cause mortality, 0.92 (95% CI 0.52-1.62, P = 0.78) for 30 day post-discharge ED revisit, hospitalization, or death, and adjusted odds ratio of 0.61 (95% CI 0.17-2.14, P = 0.44) for in-hospital all-cause mortality. CONCLUSIONS The present analysis suggests that corticosteroids might have the potential to improve outcomes in AHF patients with inflammatory activation. Larger, prospective studies of anti-inflammatory therapy should be considered to assess potential benefit in patients with the highest degree of inflammation.

Abstract
AIMS Few data regarding the prevalence and prognostic impact of mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients with worsening chronic or new-onset acute heart failure (HF) are available. We investigated the role of MR in the BIOlogy Study to TAilored Treatment in Chronic Heart Failure (BIOSTAT-CHF). METHODS AND RESULTS We performed a retrospective post-hoc analysis including patients from both the index and validation BIOSTAT-CHF cohorts with data regarding MR status. The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause death or HF hospitalization. Among 4023 patients included, 1653 patients (41.1%) had moderate-severe MR. Compared to others, patients with moderate-severe MR were more likely to have atrial fibrillation and chronic kidney disease and had larger left ventricular (LV) dimensions, lower LV ejection fraction (LVEF), worse quality of life, and higher plasma concentrations of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). A primary outcome event occurred in 697 patients with, compared to 836 patients without, moderate-severe MR [Kaplan-Meier 2-year estimate: 42.2% vs. 35.3%; hazard ratio (HR) 1.28; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.16-1.41; log-rank P < 0.0001]. The association between MR and the primary endpoint remained significant after adjusting for baseline variables and the previously validated BIOSTAT-CHF risk score (adjusted HR 1.11; 95% CI 1.00-1.23; P = 0.041). Subgroup analyses showed a numerically larger impact of MR on the primary endpoint in patients with lower LVEF, larger LV end-diastolic diameter, and higher plasma NT-proBNP. CONCLUSIONS Moderate-severe MR is common in patients with worsening chronic or new-onset acute HF and is strongly associated with outcome, independently of other features related to HF severity.
