Abstract Introduction Continuous reliable evaluating of left ventricular (LV) contractile function in patients with advanced heart failure requiring intensive care remains challenging. Recently, continual monitoring of dP/dtmax from arterial line became available for hemodynamic monitoring. However, the relation between arterial dP/dtmax and LV dP/dtmax measurement is not fully understood. Purpose The aim of our study was to determine the relation of arterial dP/dtmax and LV dP/dtmax assessed by echocardiography in patients with acute heart failure. Methods Forty-eight patients with acute heart failure requiring intensive care and hemodynamic monitoring were recruited into the study (mean age 70.4 years, 65% were males). Hemodynamic variables including arterial dP/dtmax were continually monitored using arterial line pressure waveform analysis. LV dP/dtmax was assessed using continuous-wave Doppler analysis of mitral regurgitation flow. Results The values from continual arterial dP/dtmax monitoring significantly correlated with the LV dP/dtmax assessed by echocardiography (r=0.72, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.54–0.83, P<0.0001). Linear regression revealed that (LV dP/dtmax) = 0.87×(arterial dP/dtmax) + 291, P<0.0001. Arterial dP/dtmax significantly correlated also with the stroke volume (r=0.55, P<0.0001), cardiac output (r=0.32, P=0.0289), mean arterial blood pressure (r=0.43, P=0.0155) and systolic blood pressure (r=0.79, P<0001). On the other hand arterial dP/dtmax did not correlate with the systemic vascular resistance (SVR), heart rate, dynamic arterial elastance, diastolic blood pressure or central venous pressure. Conclusion Our results revealed that arterial dP/dtmax values tightly and highly significantly correlate with LV dP/dtmax. Arterial dP/dtmax could be, therefore, used for continual monitoring of LV contractility. Acknowledgement/Funding Institutional grant MH CZ - DRO (Na Homolce Hospital- NNH, 00023884), IG150501

The Relationship

Abstract Background Continuous, reliable evaluation of left ventricular (LV) contractile function in patients with advanced heart failure requiring intensive care remains challenging. Continual monitoring of dP/dtmax from the arterial line has recently become available in hemodynamic monitoring. However, the relationship between arterial dP/dtmax and LV dP/dtmax remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the relationship between arterial dP/dtmax and LV dP/dtmax assessed using echocardiography in patients with acute heart failure. Methods Forty-eight patients (mean age 70.4 years [65% male]) with acute heart failure requiring intensive care and hemodynamic monitoring were recruited. Hemodynamic variables, including arterial dP/dtmax, were continually monitored using arterial line pressure waveform analysis. LV dP/dtmax was assessed using continuous-wave Doppler analysis of mitral regurgitation flow. Results Values from continual arterial dP/dtmax monitoring were significantly correlated with LV dP/dtmax assessed using echocardiography (r = 0.70 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.51–0.82]; P < 0.0001). Linear regression analysis revealed that LV dP/dtmax = 1.25 × (arterial dP/dtmax) (P < 0.0001). Arterial dP/dtmax was also significantly correlated with stroke volume (SV) (r = 0.63; P < 0.0001) and cardiac output (CO) (r = 0.42; P = 0.0289). In contrast, arterial dP/dtmax was not correlated with SV variation, dynamic arterial elastance, heart rate, systemic vascular resistance (SVR), or mean arterial pressure. Markedly stronger agreement between arterial and LV dP/dtmax was observed in subgroups with higher SVR (N = 28; r = 0.91; P <  0.0001), lower CO (N = 26; r = 0.81; P <  0.0001), and lower SV (N = 25; r = 0.60; P = 0.0014). A weak correlation was observed in the subjects with lower SVR (N = 20; r = 0.61; P = 0.0004); in the subgroups with higher CO (N = 22) and higher SV (N = 23), no significant correlation was found. Conclusion Our results suggest that in patients with acute heart failure requiring intensive care with an arterial line, continuous calculation of arterial dP/dtmax may be used for monitoring LV contractility, especially in those with higher SVR, lower CO, and lower SV, such as in patients experiencing cardiogenic shock. On the other hand, there was only a weak or no significant correlation in the subgroups with higher CO, higher SV, and lower SVR.

Stimulation of endogenous opiate secretion worsens circulatory dysfunction in several forms of shock, in part by inhibiting sympathetic activity. To investigate whether endogenous opiates have a similar effect in chronic heart failure (HF), we measured beta-endorphin concentrations and hemodynamic responses to naloxone infusion (2 mg/kg bolus + 2 mg.kg-1 x h-1) in six control (C) dogs and eight dogs with low-output HF produced by 3 wk of rapid ventricular pacing. The dogs with HF exhibited reduced arterial blood pressure (C, 123 +/- 4 vs. HF, 85 +/- 7 mmHg; P < 0.01) and cardiac outputs (C, 179 +/- 14 vs. HF, 76 +/- 2 ml.min-1 x kg-1; P < 0.01) and elevated plasma norepinephrine concentrations (C, 99 +/- 12 vs. HF, 996 +/- 178 pg/ml; P < 0.01) but normal beta-endorphin concentrations (C, 30 +/- 11 vs. HF, 34 +/- 12 pg/ml; P = NS). Naloxone produced similar transitory increases in blood pressure (C, 14 +/- 5 vs. HF, 26 +/- 25%) and cardiac output (C, 37 +/- 13 vs. HF, 22 +/- 15%) in both groups (both P = NS). No significant changes in norepinephrine concentration or systemic vascular resistance were observed in either group. These findings suggest that beta-endorphin secretion does not exacerbate circulatory dysfunction in chronic heart failure.

Background: Acute heart failure (AHF) is one of the leading causes of admission to emergency department (ED); severe hypoxemic AHF may be treated with noninvasive ventilation (NIV). Despite the demonstrated clinical efficacy of NIV in relieving symptoms of AHF, less is known about the hyperacute effects of bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) ventilation on hemodynamics of patients admitted to ED for AHF. We therefore aimed to assess the effect of BiPAP ventilation on principal hemodynamic, respiratory, pulse oximetry, and microcirculation indexes in patients admitted to ED for AHF, needing NIV. Methods: Twenty consecutive patients admitted to ED for AHF and left ventricular systolic dysfunction, needing NIV, were enrolled in the study; all patients were treated with NIV in BiPAP mode. The following parameters were measured at admission to ED (T0, baseline before treatment), 3 hours after admission and initiation of BiPAP NIV (T1), and after 6 hours (T2): arterial blood oxygenation (pH, partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli/fraction of inspired oxygen ratio, Paco2, lactate concentration, HCO3−), hemodynamics (tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion, transpulmonary gradient, transaortic gradient, inferior vena cava diameter, brain natriuretic peptide [BNP] levels), microcirculation perfusion (end-tidal CO2 [etco2], peripheral venous oxygen saturation [SpvO2]). Results: All evaluated indexes significantly improved over time (analysis of variance, P < .001 in quite all cases.). Conclusions: The BiPAP NIV may rapidly ameliorate several hemodynamic, arterial blood gas, and microcirculation indexes in patients with AHF and left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

Background: Cardiac injury and myocarditis have been described in adults with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in children is typically minimally symptomatic. We report a series of febrile pediatric patients with acute heart failure potentially associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection and the multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children as defined by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Methods: Over a 2-month period, contemporary with the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in France and Switzerland, we retrospectively collected clinical, biological, therapeutic, and early outcomes data in children who were admitted to pediatric intensive care units in 14 centers for cardiogenic shock, left ventricular dysfunction, and severe inflammatory state. Results: Thirty-five children were identified and included in the study. Median age at admission was 10 years (range, 2–16 years). Comorbidities were present in 28%, including asthma and overweight. Gastrointestinal symptoms were prominent. Left ventricular ejection fraction was <30% in one-third; 80% required inotropic support with 28% treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Inflammation markers were suggestive of cytokine storm (interleukin-6 median, 135 pg/mL) and macrophage activation (D-dimer median, 5284 ng/mL). Mean BNP (B-type natriuretic peptide) was elevated (5743 pg/mL). Thirty-one of 35 patients (88%) tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection by polymerase chain reaction of nasopharyngeal swab or serology. All patients received intravenous immunoglobulin, with adjunctive steroid therapy used in one-third. Left ventricular function was restored in the 25 of 35 of those discharged from the intensive care unit. No patient died, and all patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation were successfully weaned. Conclusions: Children may experience an acute cardiac decompensation caused by severe inflammatory state after SARS-CoV-2 infection (multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children). Treatment with immunoglobulin appears to be associated with recovery of left ventricular systolic function.

Worsening Renal Function

Abstract Background Renal dysfunction is a frequent finding in patients hospitalized for acute heart failure (AHF). Worsening renal function (WRF) during hospitalization was found to be related with a poor outcome independently of baseline renal function. Early drop in systolic blood pressure (SBP) has shown to predict WRF in AHF. However, there have been few studies that reported the impact of on-admission heart rate (HR) on the relationship between early SBP drop and WRF in the elderly AHF. Purpose We assessed the hypothesis that early SBP drop predict WRF in the elderly patients with AHF, and investigated that on-admission HR might have an interaction with that relationship. Methods SBP and HR were measured on admission and 6 times during 48 hours in the 245 elderly AHF inpatients (82.9±6.0 years old, male 49.4%). WRF was defined as a serum creatinine increase of ≥0.3 mg/dL by Day 5. Early drop in SBP was calculated as the difference between admission and the lowest value measured during the first 48 hour of hospitalization. Results Early SBP drop (51.3 vs 32.5mmHg, p<0.01) and on-admission HR (79.3 vs 89.6bpm, p<0.05) were significantly different between the group with WRF (n=36) and the group without WRF (n=209). In the multiple logistic regression analysis adjusted for the confounders including age, gender, hypertension, left ventricular ejection fraction, total cholesterol, BNP, baseline creatinine, beta-blockade use, intravenous loop diuretic, isosorbide dinitrate and carperitide use, early SBP drop (OR: 1.003, 95% CI: 1.003–1.03, p<0.04) and on-admission HR (OR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.96–0.99, p<0.01) were significantly associated with WRF. The interaction term of early SBP drop by on-admission HR did not have a significant association with WRF (p=0.3). Conclusions In the elderly AHF patients, exaggerated early SBP drop and lower on-admission HR were shown as significant independent predictors of WRF. These two factors were additively associated with WRF. Too much reduction in SBP and that in HR might be harmful to renal circulation in AHF.

Abstract Background Acute Heart Failure (AHF) is a common condition that often presents with acute respiratory distress and requires urgent medical evaluation and treatment. Arterial hypercapnia is common in AHF and has been associated with a higher rate of intubation and non-invasive ventilation in the Emergency Room (ER), but its prognostic value has never been studied in the prehospital setting. Methods A retrospective study was performed on the charts of all patients taken care of by a physician-staffed prehospital mobile unit between June 2016 and September 2019 in Geneva. After approval by the ethics committee, charts were screened to identify all adult patients with a diagnosis of AHF in whom a prehospital arterial blood gas (ABG) sample was drawn. The main predictor was prehospital hypercapnia. The primary outcome was the admission rate in an acute care unit (ACU, composite of intensive care and high-dependency units). Secondary outcomes were ER length of stay (LOS), orientation from ER (intensive care unit, high-dependency unit, general ward, discharge home), intubation rate at 24 h, hospital LOS and hospital mortality. Results A total of 106 patients with a diagnosis of AHF were analysed. Hypercapnia was found in 61 (58%) patients and vital signs were more severely altered in this group. The overall ACU admission rate was 48%, with a statistically significant difference between hypercapnic and non-hypercapnic patients (59% vs 33%, p = 0.009). ER LOS was shorter in hypercapnic patients (5.4 h vs 8.9 h, p = 0.016). Conclusions There is a significant association between prehospital arterial hypercapnia, acute care unit admission, and ER LOS in AHF patients.

AbstractIt is generally assumed that the analysis of intracranial pressure (ICP) waveforms could be used for the detection of multiple cerebral pathophysiologies. In this study we will demonstrate that ICP waveform analysis utilizing a convolutional neural network (CNN) can be used to distinguish between an intact cerebral compliance and a diminished one. A main obstacle for the analysis of ICP waveforms is given by the large variation of their generating signal, the arterial blood pressure (ABP). Using extended principal component analysis (PCA) we will demonstrate that it is possible to distinguish between ICP waveforms generated by pathophysiological ABP wave forms, for example in case of a heart failure, without loosing the information about the state of the cerebral compliance.
