Out ahead of print in @CircAHA and displaying the first 2.5 years of my DPhil @RDMOxford @UniofOxford : EMPA-VISION RCT, investigating the hypothesis that #sglt2i mediate their benefits in #heartfailure via augmentation of cardiac energy metabolism

doi.org/10.1161/CIRCUL…

As SGLT2i induce glucosuria and thus, increase lipolysis and formation of ketone bodies like b-OHB, it was assumed that this effect might mediate their benefits in HF. But is this true? Well, we’ve tested it

We enrolled 36 patients with #HFrEF and 36 with #HFpEF and randomly assigned them #empagliflozin or placebo.

Here's a question that you might not have considered: how did the dose for #sacubitril/valsartan in #HFrEF get chosen?

Out today is a paper in @JACCJournals led by @RezaMohebiMD that addresses some questions about sac/val dose in HFrEF.

a 🧵

jacc.org/doi/epdf/10.10…

It's a little known fact that prior to the PH3 PARADIGM trial, a PH2 study in HFrEF was not performed--normally PH2 studies provide target doses for the pivotal outcomes trials.

So how was the dose of sacubitril/valsartan chosen??

The target dose of 97/103 mg twice daily was selected to achieve serum concentrations of valsartan = to those in Val-HeFT and VALIANT while simultaneously achieving 90% neprilysin inhibition in normal individuals.

@CircAHA

Presented today as late-breaking data at #HFSA2022 and posted online @CircAHA, new data from PROVE-HF regarding impact of #sacubitril/valsartan on #mitralregurgitation in #HFrEF.

Thanks to @DukeHFDoc for presenting in my absence.

What did we find? A 🧵...

@LindenfeldJoann

It is well-known that MR severity is an important determinant of symptoms and prognosis in those with HFrEF.

Thanks to work from @LindenfeldJoann and @GreggWStone in the COAPT trial, it is also known that repair of MR may improve outcome in HFrEF.

Based on the COAPT and MITRA-FR results, current recommendations are to "optimize" #GDMT prior to decisions on repair of MR. Why?

Thanks to the reverse remodeling effects of #GDMT, MR severity may be reduced, avoiding need for MV repair.

What is known about sac/val and MR?

✅ Pros: Clear 4 pillar 1st line 1 day ( No wait)
❌ Cons: NYHA is not fixed very changeable : Better using Hypotension (SBP<100 mmHg) as choice criteria for ACE/ARB vs ARNI
❌ Cons: After 1 + 1/2 year from #GALACTIC_HF Omecamtiv Mecarbil still not in GD

In patients with #HFpEF, treatment with #empagliflozin improves clinical outcomes regardless of background #MRA therapy

#MRAs were used in 37% of EMPEROR-Preserved study participants. MRA use was higher in those with a more congested clinical picture, with more HF🏥 within the past 12 months, worse HF symptoms, mildly reduced EF, higher NT-proBNP levels, and more use of loop diuretic agents

Always nice to write an editorial together with partner-in-crime @kevin_damman! We dig into the question: "Is spironolactone a disease-modifying drug or diuretic in #HFpEF?" @ESC_Journals
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

Comment on:
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

Key points:
1. Spironolactone = most cost-effective drug in #HFrEF
2. Considering modest diuretic effects with 25-50mg, likely due to pleiotropic effects (Figure)
3. Natriuretic effects increase with dosing up to 600 mg (cirrhosis)
4. Average TOPCAT ~ RALES dose

5. Current study shows marginal (<1%) & short-term (first 8 months) effect on weight loss in TOPCAT Americas.
Spiro patients gradually had lower diuretic need and RAS blockers more frequently withdrawn.
6. Beneficial effects of spironolactone independent of these trends

After a lot of work, so proud to finally share this work on #troponin, LV function (#echofirst) and inc HF in the general pop (#ARIC)

1. ⬆️trop is assoc with LV hypertrophy and diastolic (but not systolic!) dysfx

@JAMA_current @JAMACardio @scottdsolomon
ja.ma/2MVFXns

👉🏻Subjects with ⬆️trop AND diast dysfx are at particularly high risk of HF

👉🏻 LV diastolic dysfunction accounts most of the association between troponin and #HFpEF
👉🏻LV Mass accounts for most of the association between troponin and #HFrEF
