Drug Therapy of Heart Failure Definition of Heart Failure CausesClassifications

Jun-163Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Definition of Heart Failure Heart is unable to provide adequate perfusion of peripheral organs to meet their metabolic requirements Characterized by: 1.Decreased CO 2.Increased TPR Progression to congestive heart failure (CHF) is accompanied by peripheral and pulmonary edema. Jun-164Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-165Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-166Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-168Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-169Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1610 Compensatory Mechanisms in Heart Failure Frank Starling Mechanism Increased Activity of SNS: a- Tachycardia and increased CO. b- Increased myocardial contractility c- Vasoconstriction leading to redistribution of blood to important viscera d- Renin release leading to increased plasma volume Myocardial Hypertrophy leading to increased wall tension. Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1611Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Compensatory SNS Mechanisms in HF In a failing heart, the loss of contractile function leads to a decline in CO and a decrease in arterial BP. Baroreceptors sense the hemodynamic changes and initiate countermeasures to maintain support of the circulatory system. This is achieved by activation of the SNS. This helps maintain adequate cardiac output by: 1.Increasing myocardial contractility and heart rate (β 1 -adrenergic receptors) 2.Increasing vasomotor tone (α 1 -adrenergic receptors) to maintain systemic blood pressure Jun-1612Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Consequences of hyperadrenergic state Enhancement of RAAS. Over the long term, hyperadrenergic state leads to irreversible myocyte damage, cell death, and fibrosis. In addition, the augmentation in peripheral vasomotor tone increases LV afterload. This places an added stress upon the left ventricle and an increase in myocardial O 2 demand (ventricular remodeling). The frequency and severity of cardiac arrhythmias are enhanced in the failing heart Jun-1613Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1614Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE Angiotensin II also facilitates NE release

Jun-1615Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1616Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Signs and Symptoms of HF Tachycardia, sweating Decreased exercise tolerance & SOB Peripheral and pulmonary edema Cardiomegaly Jun-1617Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1618Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1619 Factors that May Precipitate Acute Decompensation in Patients with Chronic Heart Failure Dietary indiscretion Myocardial ischemia/infarction Arrhythmias (tachycardia or bradycardia) Discontinuation of HF therapy Infection Anemia Initiation of medications that worsen HF: Calcium antagonists (verapamil, diltiazem) Beta blockers Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs Antiarrhythmic agents [all class I agents, sotalol (class III)] Anti-TNF antibodies Alcohol consumption Pregnancy Worsening hypertension Acute valvular insufficiency Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1620 Objectives of Long Term Management of Chronic Cardiac Failure Improve cardiac performance (hemodynamics) at rest and during exercise. Relieve symptoms. Improve myocardial efficiency. Improve quality of life(particularly symptom- free and effort tolerance). Improve patient survival. Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Cardiac vs Noncardiac Therapeutic Targets Conventional belief that the primary defect in HF is in the heart. Reality is that HF involves many other processes and organs. Research has shown that therapy directed at noncardiac targets is more valuable than cardiac targets. CHF should be viewed as a complex, interrelated sequence of events involving hemodynamic, and neurohormonal events. Jun-1621Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Therapeutic Overview The Problems Reduced force of contraction Decreased cardiac output Increased total peripheral resistance Inadequate organ perfusion Edema Decreased exercise tolerance Ischemic heart disease Sudden death Ventricular remodeling and decreased function Jun-1622Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1623Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1624Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1625 Drug Groups Commonly Used in Heart Failure. Diuretics Aldosterone receptor antagonists Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors Angiotensin receptor blockers Beta blockers Cardiac glycosides Vasodilators Beta agonists Bipyridines Natriuretic peptide Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1626Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1627 Causes of Diuretic Resistance in Heart Failure *Noncompliance with medical regimen; excess dietary Na + intake *Decreased renal perfusion and glomerular filtration rate *Selective reduction in glomerular perfusion pressure following initiation (or dose increase) of ACE inhibitor therapy *Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs *Primary renal pathology *Reduced or impaired diuretic absorption due to gut wall edema and reduced splanchnic blood flow Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1628 Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors "ACEI" Pharmacological Actions: Reduce angiotensin II levels. Increase bradykinin. Inhibit SNS, leading to decreased NE release and upregulation of  1 receptors. Balanced vasodilators. Reduce myocyte & fibroblast growth factors Reduce salt and water retention. Reduce K+ loss. Reduce ventricular arrhythmias. Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Effects of AT-II Jun-1629Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1630 Potential Roles of Aldosterone in the Pathophysiology of Heart Failure MECHANISMPATHOPHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECT Increased Na + and water retention Edema, elevated cardiac filling pressures K + and Mg 2+ loss Arrhythmogenesis and risk of sudden cardiac death Reduced myocardial norepinephrine uptake Potentiation of norepinephrine effects: myocardial remodeling and arrhythmogenesis Reduced baroreceptor sensitivity Reduced parasympathetic activity and risk of sudden cardiac death Myocardial fibrosis, fibroblast proliferation Remodeling and ventricular dysfunction Alterations in Na + channel expression Increased excitability and contractility of cardiac myocytes Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1631Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1632 Therapeutic Actions of ACEI Blockade of ACE Decreased AT-II Decreased aldosterone Decreased fluid retention Vasodilation Reduced preload and afterload Slowing of cardiac remodeling Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1633 Therapeutic Values of ACEI Nowadays drugs of choice. No tolerance. Retard progression of HF. Decrease arrhythmias. The only drugs which decrease mortality, but only when the highest tolerated doses are used. Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1634 Preparations of ACEI Captopril Enalapril Lisinopril Quinapril Fosinopril All are similarly effective Might differ in toxicity Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1635 Toxicity of ACEI Hypotension ……… First dose phenomenon Renal Impairment Proteinurea K+ retention Cough Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1636 Angiotensin (AT1) Receptor Blockers ARBs Losartan. Candesartan. Valsartan. Irbesartan(Approvel). Telmisartan(Micardis). Not superior to ACEIs, but may be useful for patients who can not tolerate ACEIs because of cough. Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Beta Blockers Traditionally, they have negative inotropic effects. However, nowadays there is overwhelming evidence to support the use of β-blockers in CHF. Not useful in refractory HF. Mechanism involved remains unclear. Part of their beneficial effects may derive from slowing of heart rate, decreased cardiac work and consequently decreased myocardial O 2 consumption and enhanced efficiency. This would lessen the frequency of ischemic events and arrhythmias. Jun-1637Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Beta blockers Suggested mechanisms also include reduced remodeling of the heart muscle. β-Blockers may be beneficial through resensitization of the down-regulated receptor, thus improving myocardial contractility. Should be started with low doses and gradually increased. Recent studies with metoprolol, carvedilol, bicindolol, and bisiprolol showed a reduction in mortality in patients with these drugs. This does not mean that other older agents are not effective. Contraindicated in sever, refractory, unstable cases. Jun-1638Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1639Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1640Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1641 Positive Inotropic Agents Logically will improve cardiac function. These drugs increase force of contraction by increasing intracellular cardiac Ca ++ concentration. Cyclic AMP Independent Agents: Digitalis Pimobendan Cyclic AMP Dependant Agents:  -adrenergic Agonists Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1642 Role of Calcium and Sodium in Myocardial contraction Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1643Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1644 Positive Inotropic Agents Cyclic AMP Independent Agents: Digitalis: inhibits Na/KATPase. Pimobendan: sensitizes myocytes to Ca ++, also inhibits PDE. Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1650Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1651Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE (Heart and Vascular Muscle)

Jun-1652 Effects of Digoxin on Electrical Properties of Cardiac Tissues. Tissue or Variable Effects at Therapeutic Dosage Effects at Toxic Dosage Sinus node Rate Atrial muscle Refractory period Refractory period, arrhythmias Atrioventricular node Conduction velocity, refractory period Refractory period, arrhythmias Purkinje system, ventricular muscle Slight refractory periodExtrasystoles, tachycardia, fibrillation Electrocardiogram PR interval, QT intervalTachycardia, fibrillation, arrest at extremely high dosage Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1653 Digitalis Toxicity G.I.T.( Anorexia, nausea, intestinal cramping, diarrhea) Visual ( Xanthopsia,abnormalities in color vision) Neurologic (Malaise, confusion, depression, vertigo) Cardiac(bradycardia, Palpitations, syncope, arrhythmias, AV node block, ventricular tachycardia). Interactions. Pharmacological and toxic effects are greater in hypokalemic patients. K + -depleting diuretics are a major contributing factor to digoxin toxicity. Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1654Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1655 Digitalis Toxicity Treatment of Toxicity: Reduce or stop the drug. Cardiac pacemeker for heart block. Digitalis antibodies( Digoxin Immune Fab). Arrhythmias may be converted to normal sinus rhythm by K + when the plasma K + conc. is low or within the normal range. When the plasma K + conc is high, antiarrhythmic drugs, such as lidocaine, phenytoin, procainamide, or propranolol, can be used. Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1656 Digitalis Glycosides Therapeutic Benefits: Nowadays, o nly useful in CCHF with supraventricular arrhythmia – Might decrease morbidity – ? Withdrawal – ? Mortality Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1657Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1658 Positive Inotropic Agents Cyclic AMP Dependent Agents:  -adrenergic Agonists: NE Dopamine Dobutamine Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors: Amrinone Inamrinone Milrinone Vesanirone Sildenafil Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1659 Positive Inotropic Agents Cyclic AMP Dependent Agents:  -adrenergic Agonists: All increase myocardial oxygen consumption, so not helpful for chronic use, maybe used (IV) for short term or in acute heart failure. NE: Was used in cardiogenic shock, but caused severe vasospasm and gangrene. Ep: Still used in cardiac arrest, by intracardiac injection. Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1660 Positive Inotropic Agents Dopamine: Widely used in cardiogenic shock. Low doses: stimulate DA 1 receptors leading to renal vasodilation and improved renal function. Intermediate doses: work on β 1 receptors leading to positive inotropic actions. High doses: stimulate α receptors leading to vasoconstriction and elevation of blood pressure. Can cause arrhythmias and ischemic changes. Dobutamine: Selective β 1 agonist, used intermittently (IV) in CCHF. Produces mild vasodilation. Has more inotropic than chronotropic actions. Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1661Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1662 Positive Inotropic Agents Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors: PDE inhibition leads to accumulation of cAMP and cGMP leading to positive inotropic activity and peripheral vasodilation. Toxic: arrhythmias, and thrombocytopenia. Short acting, so reserved for parenteral therapy of acute heart failure. Inamrinone (PDE-3) Milrinone (PDE-3) Vesanirone (PDE-3) Sildenafil (PDE-5) Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1663Vasodilators Affect preload and/or afterload without directly affecting contractility. Consequently can decrease myocardial ischemia, enhance coronary blood flow and decrease MVO2. Can be used in acute heart failure and for short periods in CCHF. Hydralazine-Isosorbide dinitrate combination was found to decrease mortality, maybe by reducing remodeling of the heart. Can be combined with ACEI, Diuretics and digitalis. Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

(BNP)-Niseritide Brain (B-type) natriuretic peptide (BNP) is secreted constitutively by ventricular myocytes in response to stretch. BNP binds to receptors in the vasculature, kidney, and other organs, producing potent vasodilation with rapid onset and offset of action by increasing levels of cGMP. Niseritide is recombinant human BNP approved for treatment of acute decompensated CHF. Jun-1664Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

(BNP)-Niseritide Reduces systemic and pulmonary vascular resistances, causing an indirect increase in cardiac output and diuresis. Effective in HF because of reduction in preload and afterload. Hypotension is the main side effect. Jun-1665Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1672 Steps in the Prevention and Treatment of Chronic Heart Failure. ACC/AHA StageStep 1 Intervention A, B1Control hypertension, hyperlipidemia, glucose metabolism (diabetes), obesity C2Reduce workload of the heart (limit activity, put on temporary bed rest) 3Restrict sodium intake, give diuretics 4Restrict water (rarely required) C, D5Give angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker 6Give digitalis if systolic dysfunction with third heart sound or atrial fibrillation is present 7Give blockers to patients with stable class II–IV heart failure 8Give aldosterone antagonist 9Give vasodilators D10Cardiac resynchronization if wide QRS interval is present in normal sinus rhythm 11Cardiac transplant Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE

Jun-1673 Errors in Management of HF Missed diagnosis. Improper dosage of diuretics. Failure to assess quality of life. Failure to consider long term therapeutic goals. Underprescribing of ACEI. Use of potentially harmful drugs. Failure to use hydralazine-isosorbide combination which has proved evidence of benefit. Munir Gharaibeh, MD, PhD, MHPE
