ACE INHIBITORS

Place in therapy for All Stages?

A

Q

HF-rEF Treatment:
DIURETICS

Place in therapy for All Stages?

A

Management of FLUID OVERLOAD** in **Stage C+D
Most LOOP diuretics
Thiazides for MILD fluid overload = better HTN drug

Clinical Benefit:

  • *SYMPTOMATIC ONLY**
  • no effect on MORTALITY*

Stage A + B –> only for HTN

&
Stage B/C
Post MI / EF<40 / HF Symptoms or DM

Clinical Benefits:

Q

HF-rEF Treatment:
Hydralazine + Isosorbide

AFRICAN AMERICANS
In addition to OPTIMAL THERAPY of RAAS-1 + BB in Class 3-4
↓ mortality & ↓ hospitalizations for HF

Alternate Therapy for those UNABLE to take ACE/ARB
due to intolerance or contraindication
Ex. Pregnancy / Angioadema / Advanced Kidney Disease

A

REPLACES ACE/ARB
for patients with:
SYMPTOMATIC HFr-EF Class 2-3
↓ hospitalizations from HF + ↓CV mortality

  • *Need BP >100mmHg**

Q

HF-rEF Treatment:
CORLANOR
Ivabradine

Place in therapy for All Stages?

A

ADD to Std therapy (ACE/ARB + BB)
BB should be at TARGET or MAX tolerated dose
in patients with:
Symptomatic HFr-EF FC2-3
AND:
RESTING HR > 70bpm

Q

HF-rEF DOSING:

ACE INHIBITORS

A
  • *ENALAPRIL**
  • *2.5-5** BID > 10mg BID
  • *LISINOPRIL**
  • *2.5-5 qd** > 20-40mg qd
  • *Ramipril**
  • *1.25-2.5 qd > 10mg qd**

MAXIMIZE DOSE EVEN IF BP IS NORMAL
STILL A REDUCTION IN MORTALITY

Q

HF-rEF DOSING:

ARBs

A
  • *VALSARTAN**
  • *40 BID > 160 BID**

CANDESARTAN

MAXIMIZE DOSE EVEN IF BP IS NORMAL
STILL A REDUCTION IN MORTALITY

17
Q

HF-rEF DOSING:

BETA BLOCKERS

A
  • ONLY these 3 DRUGS have proven Benefit*
  • *DOUBLE the DOSE every 2 WEEKS as tolerated**

  • *BISOPROLOL
    1. 25 qd > 10 qd**
  • *CARVEDILOL**
  • *3.125-6.25 BID > 25-50 BID**

MAXIMIZE DOSE EVEN IF BP IS NORMAL
STILL A REDUCTION IN MORTALITY

18
Q

HF-rEF DOSING:

LOOP DIURETICS

A
  • NO TARGET DOSE* –> SYMPTOMATIC ONLY
  • *INITIAL DOSE** > Maintanence dose
  • need to get FLUID OUT ASAP*
  • *BUMETANIDE**
  • *0.5-1** qd OR bid -> max= 10
  • *FUROSEMIDE**
  • *20-40** qd OR bid -> max= 600

  • *10-20** qd OR bid -> max= 200
19
Q

HF-rEF DOSING:

THIAZIDE DIURETIC

A
  • NO TARGET DOSE* –> SYMPTOMATIC ONLY
  • *INITIAL DOSE** > Maintanence dose
  • need to get FLUID OUT ASAP*
  • *HCTZ**
  • *25 qd** -> max= 200

20
Q

HF-rEF DOSING + WHEN TO AVOID STARTING?

ARA
Spironolactone + Eplerenone

A

Can start at the TARGET DOSE
Avoid Starting if:
K ≥ 5
mEq/L or
SCr ≥ 2.5 mg/dL or
CrCl < 30 ml/min
Likely will need to ↓ or d/c K supplements

  • *SPIRONOLACTONE**
  • *25 qd - Target**
  • *Eplerenone**
  • *50 qd - Target**
21
Q

HF-rEF DOSING:

  • *HYRALAZINE / ISOSORBIDE**
  • *BiDil** = Combo
A

Initial Dose:
Hydralazine 25-50** + **ISDN 20-30 TID or QID
Bidil is diff concentration TID

Target Dose:
Hydralazine 300mg** + **ISDN 120mg in div doses

Monitor:
BP + Adherence

ADR = Headache

22
Q

HF-rEF
DOSING + SWITCH CONSIDERATIONS

Sacubutril / Valsartan
ENTRESTO

A

Titrate q2 weeks to TARGET as tolerated
MORE HYPOTENTION –> more CAUTIOUS w/ dosing
36 HOUR WASHOUT
when switching from ACE-I, need to take back old med
due to increased risk of ANGIOEDEMA

Dose is Converted from current ACE/ARB dose

49/51 -> 97/103

23
Q

HF-rEF
DOSING + CONSIDERATIONS

IVABRADINE
CORLANOR

A
  • *BetaBlocker needs to be @Target or @MAX**
  • *HR > 70 bpm** BEFORE starting

Ivabradine initial start:

  • *5mg BID**
  • *TAKE WITH FOOD = Better Bioavailability**

HEART RATE MONITORING
every 2 weeks after dose adjustment & q4 months

24
Q

HF-rEF MONITORING & ADR

ACE / ARB

A

RENAL FXN** + **K-Potassium
within 1-2 weeks: of start & after dose increases
q6 months in stable pts

  • Contraindicated in PREGNANCY*
  • -> use Hydralazine/Isosorbide

Symptomatic HypoTension = BP
low BP is FINE, just watch out for SYMPTOMS

Cough / ANGIOEDEMA
more common in ACE-I

25
**HF-rEF MONITORING & ADR** **_Beta Blockers_**
**_May initially WORSEN SYMPTOMS_** reason for *slow titration up* * *_Carvedilol_** * *better for HTN** + ***more dizzyness*** + **diarrhea** **_Metoprolol + Bisoprolol_** good for reactive airway disease **Carvedilol switch to Metoprolol if _symptomatic Hypotension_** (*less BP effect)* ADR: **SOB / EDEMA = worsening HF, need to slow titration Symptomatic Bradycardia --\> need to lower dose/slow**
26
**HF-rEF MONITORING & ADR** **_DIURETICS_**
**_DIURETIC RESISTANCE_** *declining response dispite INCREASING doses* **Na+ Diet / NSAIDs / Renal Fxn** can **COMBINE LOOP + THIAZIDE/Metolazone for _SYNERGISTIC EFFECT_** Safety/Efficacy: * *Daily Weight / HF Symptoms** * *_ELECTROLYTES**_ + _**RENAL FUNCTION_** * *_OTOTOXICITY_** = *only @ high dose/rapid IV push*
27
**HF-rEF MONITORING & ADR** **_SPIRONOLACTONE / EPLERENONE_**
**_RENAL FXN**_ + _**K-POTASSIUM_** within **3 days** & **1 week after initiation** **monthly for 1st 3 months** --\> 3-4months after **_K \> 5.5_** **_counseling:_** **avoid K+ foods / NSAIDS / Salt D/C supplements or Drug _K-BINDER_** for severe elevation \> 6 **_ECG IF NEW BRADYCARDIA_** life threatening HYPERkalemia
28
* *HF-rEF** * *_BETA BLOCKERS_** * *when should we AVOID to START or INCREASE dose?**
* avoid starting / increasing dose of BB if...* * *_ACUTE EXACERBATION_** * *Volume Overload / Worsening signs** **BB is _initially a NEGATIVE INOTROPE_** can worsen symptoms at first ***_no NEED to WAIT for reaching TARGET ACE/ARB DOSE_*** before initiating
29
**HF-rEF MONITORING & ADR** **_SACUBITRIL / VALSARTAN_**
**_ANGIOEDEMA_** **history with ACE / ARB = CONTRAINDICATED** + **36 hours washout when switching** **_HYPERKalemia**_ + _**Renal Dysfunction_** * *Caution w/ BP \<100** * more ANTI-HTN than ACE/ARB*
30
**HF-rEF MONITORING & ADR** **_Ivabradine = Corlanor_**
**_HR MONITORING_** **can reduce HR by 10bpm during rest/exercise** need **HR \> 70bpm b4 start** 2 weeks after dose adjustments / q4 months ADR: * *_AFIB_** - new start * *_Luminous Phenomena_** = **bright spots** * *Bradycardia**
31
**HF-rEF MONITORING & ADR** **_DIGOXIN_**
_Elimination_ **RENAL** + **P-Gp Interactions** **AVOID Pg-P Inhibitors + Other AV nodal Blockers** * *_CrCl + IBW DOSING_** * *K + Mag low** Suspected Toxicity: **ECG + Visual Changes (green-yellow)** **CONFUSION NVD**
32
**Which Beta Blocker would you choose if** **HTN is a bigger issue?** AKA MORE BP LOWERING EFFECT
**_CARVEDILOL_** stronger **BP lowering agent** ***_Metoprolol / Bisoprolol_*** better for **patients with hypotension**
