Is it important for physicians to understand mechanisms to treat heart failure? By Legendary #MiltonPacker

Physicians make decisions NOT by memorizing trials or guidelines, but by having a conceptual framework about drugs and diseases

How Physician Thinking and Decision-Making Is Supposed to Work

Dr. #MiltonPacker proved it in these 4 slides

State of the art: Are #HFpEF phenotypes, a needed classification?

#Hypertension phenotype by Dr. Michele Senni

#HeartFailure2023 @lamcardio @JavedButler1 @JamalRanaMD @AHajduczok @WilfriedMullens @FH_Verbrugge @ShelleyZieroth

Has #hypertension a greater prognostic impact in HFpEF than #HFrEF?

Should we treat HTN differently in
#HFpEF patients compared to patients without HF?

What are the current evidences ?

The natural history of SMR and its longitudinal progression until the onset of severe #MR

There are two distinct patterns of progression of SMR patients with various implications

academic.oup.com/ehjcimaging/ad… #EHJCVI @GeraldMaurer @denisamuraru @alessia_gimelli @JGrapsa @iamritu

Cluster 1 had higher LAV, LVEDV, and #LVESV, along with lower EF and less septal thickness, but slower EF and LVESV progression compared with Cluster 2.

Moderate SMR was more frequent in Cluster 1, whereas Cluster 2 had more non/trivial and mild #SMR

#EchoFirst #EHJCVI

On time-to-event analysis, there were no differences in terms of mortality and occurrence of MV interventions, #LVAD , and HTx

A higher likelihood of MV interventions (including Sx and #TEER) was observed in Cluster 2 type with fewer LVAD procedures

This study shows that more than 1/3 of patients with new-onset #HeartFailure have #RVD

📌During up-titration of #GDMT, 49% show normalization of RV function

📌The improvement is associated with better outcomes, independent of LV function

RV dysfunction as a predictor of clinical outcome in newly-Dx #HeartFailure

This analysis demonstrates #RVD at baseline and follow-up was associated with a higher risk of all-cause ☠️ [ HR- 1.66 (1.27-2.16) ] and HF 🏥 [ HR -2.20 (1.51-3.21) ]

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100… #EJHF

Recovery of RV function is associated with better outcomes

This study also stated that improvement of TAPSE to ≥ 17mm during follow-up was associated with a reduction in all-cause ☠️ and #HeartFailure 🏥 (HR- 0.56[0.31-0.99] ), independent of
baseline TAPSE, age, sex, and LVEF

#COAPT Risk Score for Death or #HeartFailure 🏥

📍Simple risk score using 4 clinical (COPD, #NYHA class, Afib/Aflut, and #CKD)

📍4 #EchoFirst (#LVEF, LVESD, RVSP, and #TR) variables + 1 treatment-related variable (#TEER)

jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… @JACCJournals @GreggWStone

@JACCJournals

Using data from the #COAPT trial, a simple risk score using 4 clinical and 4 Echo parameters + 1 treatment-related variable (#TEER), which provides prognostic insight into the 2-year rates of ☠️ or #HeartFailure 🏥 in patients with symptomatic #HF and severe #FMR

@JACCJournals

There was consistent benefit from TEER with MitraClip across all risk strata

FMR and HF pts are at ⬆️ risk for ☠️ and recurrent HFH, despite best Med Rx & invasive Tx including MV TEER

👉🏻Future studies are needed to externally validate the COAPT risk score in pts with HF & FMR

#Immunosuppressive therapy in virus-negative inflammatory CMP : 20-year follow-up of the #TIMIC trial

Immunosuppressive Tx of virus-negative inflammatory #CMP is associated to a persistent improvement of LV
function and better outcomes during long-term follow-up

#HeartFailure

#Immunosuppressive Tx promoted an improvement in cardiac function in 88% of the cases compared the placebo group

A persistent ⤴️ in the #LVEF is seen in long -term (up to 20 years) clinical outcomes of the whole cohort of 85 patients originally enrolled in the #TIMIC trial
