Overview

• What is ventricular diastole?

• What is Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF)?

• Mechanisms

• Treatment options

• Management plan

What is ventricular diastole?

• Ventricular filling

• AV closure - Isovolumic relaxation

• MV opening – Early filling – active

relaxation – E wave

– Late filling – passive (ventricle), active atria – A wave

• Isovolumic contraction

• Ends with AV opening

What is HFpEF?

Patel HC et al Eur J Heart Fail. 2014 Jul;16(7):767-71.

1. 22% of HHF have an EF>50%

2. 0.6% of HHF cohort suitable for RDT-HFpEF

What is HFpEF?

Patel HC et al Eur J Heart Fail. 2014 Jul;16(7):767-71.

One syndrome, multiple causes and phenotypes

• Elderly – ageing • COPD • Chronic renal failure • Diabetes • Obesity • Obstructive Sleep Apnoea • Previous cancer therapy

– Chemotherapy – doxorubicin, epirubicin – Radiotherapy – left breast DXT

• Post myocardial infarction • Post AVR for severe aortic stenosis • Cardiac amyloidosis • Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy • Reverse remodelled HFrEF

How to treat HFpEF?

Phase III studies HFpEF All NEGATIVE:

Also:

SWEDIC (carvedilol)

J-DHF (carvedilol)

ELANDD (nebevilol)

ALDO DHF (spironolactone)

Hong Kong DHF

irbesartan/ramipirl

RAAM (eplerenone)

RELAX (sildenafil)

Why? 1. Suboptimal trial design:

- Targeting wrong patients (some were HF-REF or did not have HF) - Patients already on RAAS drugs prior to randomisation - Intolerance of study drug/optimal dose not achieved - Underpowered

2. Inadequate attenuation of the intended pathway

Open label phase 2 trial to assess safety and efficacy of RSD in symptomatic stable ambulatory patients with HFpEF

Randomised 2:1 RSD vs control (no sham)

POBA design

Do we have any options?

• 3,445 participants randomised to spironolactone (target dose 30mg OD) vs placebo

• HFpEF – EF>45%, either HHF or elevated BNP (>100pg/ml or NT-proBNP >360) • 1o endpoint composite

– CV mortality, aborted cardiac arrest or HF hospitalisation

• No difference in 1o endpoint • Reduction in HF hospitalisations (12 vs 14% p=0.04) • Pts enrolled with high BNP – significant benefit • HOWEVER

– All cause hospitalisations no difference – Geographical variation

• 2/3 US patients – enrolled with BNP – benefit • 1/3 Russia/Georgia – enrolled with HHF – no benefit

– ~33% off study drug at end of trial

Practical Guide to Symptomatic Patients with HFpEF

• Diuretics for oedema or hypertension – Indapamide if elderly >80 years – HYVET trial – Thiazide if younger – Spironolactone* TOPCAT trial BNP subgroup

• ACE inhibitors for hypertension – irrespective of age – HYVET trial

• ARBs acceptable if intolerant of ACE I – losartan effect from LIFE trial

• Empagliflozin for type 2 diabetics with CV risk factors • Exclude

– Ischaemia – Chronotropic incompetence

• Avoid rate controlling medication

– Exaggerated HR or BP response

• ?Target Co-morbidities • Research trials – HFpEF service at Royal Brompton Hospital
