Introduction
Heart failure (HF) is the inability of the heart to maintain a cardiac output sufficient to meet the metabolic needs of the body. It is a common condition with high morbidity & mortality.
Classification
based on LV ejection fraction[111]
- HF with reduced EF (HFrEF): LVEF of up to 40%.
- HF with mildly reduced EF (HFmrEF): LVEF of 41-49%.
- HF with preserved EF (HFpEF)HF with an LVEF of at least 50%.
- HF with improved EF (HFimpEF): HF with a baseline LVEF of 40% or less, an increase of at least 10 points from baseline LVEF, & a 2nd measurement of LVEF of > 40%
Etiology
- coronary artery disease
- intermittent myocardial ischemia
- myocardial infarction (MI), including silent MI[88]
- hypertensive heart disease
- dilated cardiomyopathy
- idiopathic
- toxic
- infection
- collagen vascular disease
- valvular heart disease
- hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- restrictive cardiomyopathy
- constrictive pericarditis
- high output heart failure
- precipitants or decompenstation of heart failure:
- myocardial ischemia or infarction
- hypertension
- cardiac arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation)
- infection
- anemia
- pregnancy
- thyrotoxicosis
- volume overload - renal failure
- toxins
- drugs
- pulmonary embolism
- valvular failure
- ventricular septal defect
- aortic dissection
- dietary or medical non-compliance
- risk factors
- obesity[5]
- diabetes, (hazzard ratio as large as 2.6)[17]
- shorter reproductive duration (menarche to menopause)[10]
- progression of subclinical atrial fibrillation[91]
- obstructive sleep apnea & central sleep apnea[3]
Epidemiology
- 1% of adults in their 50s; 10% > 70 years[26]
- 5-10% of all hospital admissions
- most common reason for hospitalization in elderly[39]
- 31-47% with diastolic dysfunction[15]
- older patients are more likely than younger patients to have diastolic heart failure[39]
- older patients with HF are more likely to be women than younger patients with HF[39]
- deaths from heart failure are increasing
- < 1/2 of patients have advance directives[43]
- < 1/2 of those that do, specify interventions to avoid[43]
- misdiagnosis in 20% (inadequate workup general reason)[83]
- lifetime risk of heart failure in the U.S. is 24%[118]
Pathology
- organ hypoperfusion
- reflexive arteriolar vasoconstriction
- inadequate oxygen delivery to tissues
- left ventricular diastolic dysunction
- left ventricular hypertrophy
- increased left ventricular filling pressures
- left atrial enlargement
- predisposes to atrial fibrillation
- pulmonary edema
- left heart failure leads to right heart failure
- left ventricular systolic dysfunction
- decreased left ventricular ejection fraction
- increased left ventricular filling pressure
- left atrial enlargement
- predisposes to atrial fibrillation
- pulmonary edema
- left heart failure leads to right heart failure
- increased systemic vascular resistance due to:
- enhanced sympathetic nervous system activity
- elevation of circulating catecholamines
- activation of renin/angiotensin system
- increased vasopressin
- increased levels of miR-25 lower levels of SERCA2a, which, in turn, reduces calcium uptake by cardiomyocytes & leads to heart failure in both mice and humans[54]
- in mice, an antagonist of miR-25 reverses heart failure
Clinical manifestations
- symptoms
- fatigue
- dyspnea on exertion - most common initial symptom
- orthopnea
- most sensitive indicator of high left ventricular filling pressure
- cough
- nausea
- right upper quadrant abdominal pain
- paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea
- nocturia
- confusion
- signs
- peripheral edema, especially ankles (hydrostatic)
- jugular venous distension
- cadiogenic pulmonary edema
- pleural effusion
- rales, crackles may not be present with chronic HF despite decompensated HF
- pericardial effusion
- hepatic congestion, hepatomegaly
- third heart sound (S3), fourth heart sound (S4)
- systolic murmur of mitral regurgitation
- tachycardia
- ascites
- hospitalized patients with heart failure
Laboratory
- chem 7 panel
- serum creatinine, serum urea nitrogen
- elevated BUN/creatinine
- serum Na+:
- persistent hyponatremia is poor prognostic indicator[19]
- serum creatinine, serum potassium
- see RAAS inhibitor for initiation of ACE inhibitor/ARB
- serum creatinine, serum urea nitrogen
- liver function tests (elevated serum transaminases)
- complete blood count (CBC)
- serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (serum TSH)
- serum BNP[80]
- elevated serum BNP is non-specific
- if < 50 pg/mL, excludes heart failure as cause of dyspnea
- if < 100 pg/mL, heart failure unlikely[3]
- patient-specific characteristics may affect serum BNP cutoff (see serum BNP)
- use of serum BNP & serum NT-proBNP of uncertain use in preventing hospital readmission & reducing post-discharge mortality[76][79]
- serum NT-proBNP best predictor of short-term & long-term mortality in elderly hospitalized with acute heart failure[104]
- not for use in ambulatory patients to monitor heart failure or to guide therapy[3]
- confirm heart failure with serum BNP prior to other workup (GRS11)[39]
- serum procalcitonin > 0.10-ng/mL suggests bacterial pneumonia[67]
- urinalysis[39]
- elevated urinary albumin/creatinine is associated with a poor prognosis[28]
- lipid panel[47]
- high-sensitivity troponin-I in serum or troponin-T in serum
- see ARUP consult[44]
- further selection of laboratory tests based on suggestions of specific disorders by history & physical examination[3]
Diagnostic procedures
- electrocardiogram: (common findings)
- arrhythmias
- conduction delays
- non-specific ST-T changes
- low voltage suggests restrictive cardiomyopathy (amyloidosis)
- echocardiography
- primary diagnostic test for evaluation of heart failure[3]
- diastolic vs systolic dysfunction
- valvular heart disease
- regional wall abnormalities suggesting CAD
- repeat echocardiogram most useful if there has been a change in clinical status[3]
- stress testing to identify myocardial ischemia
- 6 minute walk test:
- ability to walk < 300 meters is associated to 3-4 fold increase in mortality (chronic heart failure)[3]
- cardiac catheterization/coronary angiography if indicated by stress testing
- endomyocardial biopsy if suspecting: hemochromatosis, sarcoidosis, amyloidosis, myocarditis
- sleep study if sleep apnea suspected[3]
