Increased oxidative stress during exercise predicts poor prognosis in patients with acute decompensated heart failure.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Aims
Oxidative stress plays an important role in the development and progression of heart failure (HF). Although exercise and oxidative stress are closely related, the effect of acute exercise on reactive oxygen species production and the fluctuation on prognosis are unclear.Methods and results
We enrolled 94 patients who were hospitalized for worsening HF (mean age 68.0 ± 14.5 years old, 63.8% male). The changes in diacron-reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROM) values, a marker of oxidative stress, before and after a cardiopulmonary exercise test were considered as Δd-ROM. The mean follow-up period was 24 ± 13 months, during which 15 patients had all-cause death or left ventricular assist system implantation. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that all-cause death or left ventricular assist system implantation was significantly higher in the Δd-ROM-positive group than in the Δd-ROM-negative group (log-rank P = 0.047). Elevated Δd-ROM levels were associated with increased mortality risk. Multivariate analysis adjusted for body mass index and peak oxygen uptake revealed that Δd-ROM was an independent prognostic factor of adverse events (Tertile 3 vs. 1; hazard ratio: 4.57; 95% confidence interval: 1.21-29.77; P = 0.022).Conclusions
Patients with HF who underwent a cardiopulmonary exercise test and had an increased oxidative stress marker level had a poor prognosis. The appropriate exercise intensity could be determined by evaluating the changes in oxidative stress status in response to acute exercise in patients with HF.

Project description:Background: We sought to explore the effects of previous heart failure (HF) hospitalization on mortality in patients hospitalized for acute decompensated HF (ADHF) in a large Japanese contemporary observational database. Methods and Results: We prospectively enrolled consecutive patients with ADHF in 19 participating hospitals between October 2014 and March 2016. Of 4,056 patients, 1,442 patients (35.4%) had at least 1 previous HF hospitalization (previous hospitalization group), while 2,614 patients (64.5%) did not have a history of HF hospitalization (de novo hospitalization group). Patients with previous hospitalization were older and more often had comorbidities such as anemia, and renal failure than those without. The cumulative 1-year incidence of all-cause death was significantly higher in the previous hospitalization group than in the de novo hospitalization group (28% vs. 19%, P<0.001). After adjusting confounders, the excess risk of the previous hospitalization group relative to the de novo hospitalization group for all-cause death remained significant (HR, 1.28; 95% CI: 1.10-1.50, P=0.001). The excess risk was significant in patients without advanced age, anemia, or renal failure, but not significant in patients with these comorbidities, with significant interaction. Increase in the number of hospitalizations was associated with an increased risk for mortality. Conclusions: In a contemporary ADHF cohort in Japan, repeated hospitalization was associated with an increasing, higher risk for 1-year mortality.

Project description:Heart failure is one of the most common diseases of adults in Europe, with an overall prevalence of 1-2%. Among persons aged 60 and above, its prevalence is above 10% in men and 8% in women. Acute heart failure has a poor prognosis; it is associated with a high rate of rehospitalization and a 1-year mortality of 20-30%.This review is based on pertinent literature, including guidelines, retrieved by a selective search in PubMed.There are different types of acute heart failure; the basic diagnostic assessment is performed at once and consists of ECG, echocardiography, and the measurement of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) and troponin levels. The most common causes of decompensation are arrhythmia, valvular dysfunction, and acute cardiac ischemia, each of which accounts for 30% of cases. The potential indication for immediate revascularization should be carefully considered in cases where acute heart failure is due to coronary heart disease. The basic treatment of acute heart failure is symptomatic, with the administration of oxygen, diuretics, and vasodilators. Ino-tropic agents, vasopressors, and temporary mechanical support for the circulatory system are only used to treat cardiogenic shock.The treatment of acute heart failure is markedly less evidence-based than that of chronic heart failure. Newer treatment approaches that are intended to improve outcomes still need to be tested in multicenter trials.

Project description:This study sought to determine the use of intravenous fluids in the early care of patients with acute decompensated heart failure (HF) who are treated with loop diuretics.Intravenous fluids are routinely provided to many hospitalized patients.We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients admitted with HF to 346 hospitals from 2009 to 2010. We assessed the use of intravenous fluids during the first 2 days of hospitalization. We determined the frequency of adverse in-hospital outcomes. We assessed variation in the use of intravenous fluids across hospitals and patient groups.Among 131,430 hospitalizations for HF, 13,806 (11%) were in patients treated with intravenous fluids during the first 2 days. The median volume of administered fluid was 1,000 ml (interquartile range: 1,000 to 2,000 ml), and the most commonly used fluids were normal saline (80%) and half-normal saline (12%). Demographic characteristics and comorbidities were similar in hospitalizations in which patients did and did not receive fluids. Patients who were treated with intravenous fluids had higher rates of subsequent critical care admission (5.7% vs. 3.8%; p < 0.0001), intubation (1.4% vs. 1.0%; p = 0.0012), renal replacement therapy (0.6% vs. 0.3%; p < 0.0001), and hospital death (3.3% vs. 1.8%; p < 0.0001) compared with those who received only diuretics. The proportion of hospitalizations that used fluid treatment varied widely across hospitals (range: 0% to 71%; median: 12.5%).Many patients who are hospitalized with HF and receive diuretics also receive intravenous fluids during their early inpatient care, and the proportion varies among hospitals. Such practice is associated with worse outcomes and warrants further investigation.

Project description:The aim of this study was to characterize iron deficiency (ID) in acutely decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and identify whether ID is associated with dyspnea class, length of stay (LOS), biomarker levels, and echocardiographic indices of diastolic function in patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Consecutive patients admitted with ADHF at a single tertiary center were included. Demographic information, pathology investigations, and metrics regarding hospital stay and readmission were recorded. Patients were classified as having 'absolute' ID if they had a ferritin level <100 ng/mL; or 'functional' ID if they had a ferritin 100-200 ng/mL and a transferrin saturation <20%. Of 503 patients that were recruited, 270 (55%) had HFpEF, 160 (33%) had HFREF, and 57 (12%) had heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction. ID was present in 54% of patients with HFrEF and 56% of patients with HFpEF. In the HFpEF group, ID was associated with a LOS of 11 ± 7.7 vs. 9 ± 6 days in iron replete patients, p = 0.036, and remained an independent predictor of increased LOS in a multivariate linear regression incorporating comorbidities, age, and ID status. This study corroborates a high prevalence of ID in both HFrEF and HFpEF, and further shows that in patients with HFpEF there is a prolongation of LOS not seen in HFrEF which may indicate a more prominent role for ID in HFpEF.

Project description:A major challenge in prevention and early treatment of acute cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is the lack of high-performance predictors. To test the hypothesis that urinary angiotensinogen (uAGT) is an early predictor for acute CRS and 1-year prognosis in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), we performed a prospective, two-stage, multicenter cohort study in patients with ADHF. In stage I (test set), 317 patients were recruited from four centers. In stage II (validation set), 119 patients were enrolled from two other centers. Daily uAGT levels were analyzed consecutively. AKI was defined according to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Clinical Practice Guidelines. In stage I, 104 (32.8%) patients developed AKI during hospitalization. Daily uAGT peaked on the first hospital day in patients who subsequently developed AKI. After multivariable adjustment, the highest quartile of uAGT on admission was associated with a 50-fold increased risk of AKI compared with the lowest quartile. For predicting AKI, uAGT (area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve [AUC]=0.84) outperformed urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (AUC=0.78), the urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (AUC=0.71), and the clinical model (AUC=0.77). Survivors in stage I were followed prospectively for 1 year after hospital discharge. The uAGT level independently predicted the risk of 1-year mortality (adjusted odds ratio, 4.5; 95% confidence interval, 2.1 to 9.5) and rehospitalization (adjusted odds ratio, 3.6; 95% confidence interval, 1.6 to 5.7). The ability of uAGT in predicting AKI was validated in stage II (AUC=0.79). In conclusion, uAGT is a strong predictor for acute CRS and 1-year prognosis in ADHF.

Project description:Loop diuretics are an essential component of therapy for patients with acute decompensated heart failure, but there are few prospective data to guide their use.In a prospective, double-blind, randomized trial, we assigned 308 patients with acute decompensated heart failure to receive furosemide administered intravenously by means of either a bolus every 12 hours or continuous infusion and at either a low dose (equivalent to the patient's previous oral dose) or a high dose (2.5 times the previous oral dose). The protocol allowed specified dose adjustments after 48 hours. The coprimary end points were patients' global assessment of symptoms, quantified as the area under the curve (AUC) of the score on a visual-analogue scale over the course of 72 hours, and the change in the serum creatinine level from baseline to 72 hours.In the comparison of bolus with continuous infusion, there was no significant difference in patients' global assessment of symptoms (mean AUC, 4236±1440 and 4373±1404, respectively; P=0.47) or in the mean change in the creatinine level (0.05±0.3 mg per deciliter [4.4±26.5 ?mol per liter] and 0.07±0.3 mg per deciliter [6.2±26.5 ?mol per liter], respectively; P=0.45). In the comparison of the high-dose strategy with the low-dose strategy, there was a nonsignificant trend toward greater improvement in patients' global assessment of symptoms in the high-dose group (mean AUC, 4430±1401 vs. 4171±1436; P=0.06). There was no significant difference between these groups in the mean change in the creatinine level (0.08±0.3 mg per deciliter [7.1±26.5 ?mol per liter] with the high-dose strategy and 0.04±0.3 mg per deciliter [3.5±26.5 ?mol per liter] with the low-dose strategy, P=0.21). The high-dose strategy was associated with greater diuresis and more favorable outcomes in some secondary measures but also with transient worsening of renal function.Among patients with acute decompensated heart failure, there were no significant differences in patients' global assessment of symptoms or in the change in renal function when diuretic therapy was administered by bolus as compared with continuous infusion or at a high dose as compared with a low dose.

Project description:Background: Altered expression of the BCL-2 family member MCL-1 has been linked to the progression and outcome of various malignancies. Recently, MCL-1 inhibitor S63845 was reported to kill MCL-1-dependent cancer cells and has potential value in clinical application. Purpose: Herein, we reported MCL-1 expression pattern in Chinese de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and its impact on prognosis and may provide theoretical basis for AML patients using MCL-1 inhibitor in clinics. Real-time quantitative PCR was carried out to detect the transcript of MCL-1 in AML patients. Results: MCL-1 expression was significantly up-regulated in AML compared with controls (P=0.042). We divided the patients into two groups (higher and lower expression of MCL-1) based on the median level. Among both non-acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) and cytogenetically normal AML (CN-AML), patients with higher expression of MCL-1 correlated with lower complete remission (CR) rate (P=0.031 and 0.004, respectively) and shorter overall survival (OS) time (P=0.008 and 0.004, respectively) compared with those with lower expression of MCL-1. Meanwhile, Cox regression analyses revealed that overexpression of MCL-1 acted as an independent risk factor for OS in non-APL patients and CN-AML patients (P=0.011 and 0.045, respectively). In follow-up patients, MCL-1 expression level decreased after CR compared with newly diagnosis time (P=0.020) and increased after relapse (P=0.004). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that higher expression of MCL-1 predicts poor prognosis and can be used for disease monitoring.

Project description:Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and mitral regurgitation (MR) are frequently combined in patients with heart failure (HF). However, the effect of AF on the prognosis of patients with HF and MR remains unknown. Methods and Results: We studied 867 patients (mean age 73 years; 42.7% female) with acute decompensated HF (ADHF) in the NARA-HF registry. Patients were divided into 4 groups based on the presence or absence of AF and MR at discharge. Patients with severe MR were excluded. The primary endpoint was the composite of cardiovascular (CV) death and HF-related readmission. During the median follow-up of 621 days, 398 patients (45.9%) reached the primary endpoint. In patients with MR, AF was associated with a higher incidence of the primary endpoint regardless of left ventricular function; however, in patients without MR, AF was not associated with CV events. Cox multivariate analyses showed that the incidence of CV events was significantly higher in patients with AF and MR than in patients with MR but without AF (hazard ratio 1.381, P=0.036). Similar findings were obtained in subgroup analysis of patients with AF and only mild MR. Conclusions: The present study demonstrated that AF is associated with poor prognosis in patients with ADHF with mild to moderate MR, but not in those without MR.

Project description:Distinct monocyte subsets predict cardiovascular risk and contribute to heart failure progression in murine models, but they have not been examined in clinical acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF).Blood samples were obtained from 11 healthy control subjects (HCs) and at admission and discharge from 19 ADHF patients. Serologic markers of inflammation were assessed at admission and discharge. Monocyte populations were defined with the use of flow cytometry for cell-surface expression of CD14 and CD16: CD14++CD16- (classic), CD14++CD16+ (intermediate), and CD14+CD16++ (nonclassic). In ADHF patients, C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were higher compared with HCs (both P?<?.001) and decreased from admission to discharge (CRP: 12.1?±?10.1 to 8.6?±?8.4?mg/L [P?=?.005]; IL-6: 19.8?±?34.5 to 7.1?±?4.7?pg/mL [P?=?.08]). In ADHF patients, the admission proportion of CD14++CD16- monocytes was lower (68% vs 85%; P?<?.001) and that of CD14++CD16+ (15% vs 8%; P?=?.002) and CD14+CD16++ (17% vs 7%, P?=?.07) monocytes higher compared with HCs. Additionally, the proportion of CD14++CD16- monocytes increased (68% to 79%, P?=?.04) and the CD14+CD16++ monocytes decreased (17% to 7%, P?=?.049) between admission and discharge.Following standard treatment of ADHF, the monocyte profile and circulating inflammatory markers shifts to more closely resemble those of HC, suggesting a resolution of the acute inflammatory state. Functional studies are warranted to understand how specific monocyte subsets and systemic inflammation may contribute to ADHF pathophysiology.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is the most common presenting phenotype of acute heart failure (AHF). The main goal of this article was to review the contemporary management strategies in these patients and to describe how future clinical trials may address unmet clinical needs. AREAS OF UNCERTAINTY:The current pathophysiologic understanding of AHF is incomplete. The guideline recommendations for the management of ADHF are based only on algorithms provided by expert consensus guided by blood pressure and/or clinical signs of congestion or hypoperfusion. The lack of adequately conducted trials to address the unmet need for evidence therapy in AHF has not yet been surpassed, and at this time, there is no evidence-based strategy for targeted decongestive therapy to improve outcomes. The precise time point for initiation of guideline-directed medical therapies (GDMTs), as respect to moment of decompensation, is also unknown. DATA SOURCES:The available data informing current management of patients with ADHF are based on randomized controlled trials, observational studies, and administrative databases. THERAPEUTIC ADVANCES:A major step-forward in the management of ADHF patients is recognizing congestion, either clinical or hemodynamic, as a major trigger for heart failure (HF) hospitalization and most important target for therapy. However, a strategy based exclusively on congestion is not sufficient, and at present, comprehensive assessment during hospitalization of cardiac and noncardiovascular substrate with identification of potential therapeutic targets represents "the corner-stone" of ADHF management. In the last years, substantial data have emerged to support the continuation of GDMTs during hospitalization for HF decompensation. Recently, several clinical trials raised hypothesis of "moving to the left" concept that argues for very early implementation of GDMTs as potential strategy to improve outcomes. CONCLUSIONS:The management of ADHF is still based on expert consensus documents. Further research is required to identify novel therapeutic targets, to establish the precise time point to initiate GDMTs, and to identify patients at risk of recurrent hospitalization.
