Aim. To identify risk factors for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).Material and methods. In the cardiology department, 129 patients with ADHF were registered within 8 months, 59 (45,7%) of them had T2D. The study included 117 ADHF patients who were divided into two groups depending on the presence of T2D: group 1 (n=49; 41,9%)  — patients with T2D, group 2 (n=67; 55,9%) without T2D. The ADHF was verified by rapid progress of hypoperfusion and congestion, which required emergency hospitalization and inotropic and/or intravenous diuretic therapy. In the first 48 hours of hospitalization, echocardiography was performed, levels of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and creatinine were determined; the glomerular filtration rate was estimated.Results. The incidence of T2D among patients with ADHF was 45,7%. There were following risk factors for ADHF in T2D patients: diabetic ketoacidosis (p=0,002), hypertensive crisis (p=0,017), history of acute coronary syndrome (p=0,048), atrial fibrillation (p=0,030), chronic kidney disease (p=0,003), pneumonia (p=0,035), progression of anemia (p=0,049), low prevalence of beta-blockers use (p=0,001), use of inappropriate antidiabetic drugs for HF patients (sulfonylureas, insulin). ADHF, assessed by NT-proBNP level, was significantly more severe in T2D patients (p=0,001) with pronounced congestion symptoms (p=0,001), which led to an increase in the need for diuretic therapy (p=0,002). Cardiac remodeling in T2D patients with ADHF is characterized mainly by the preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), severe LV diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) and LV hypertrophy (LVH).Conclusion. The development of ADHF in T2D patients is associated with various risk factors and is characterized by severe congestion symptoms, high need for diuretic therapy, mainly preserved LVEF in combination with severe LVDD and LVH.

Abstract Background The transtubular potassium concentration gradient (TTKG) has been reported to be a marker of renal aldosterone bioactivity, and has been shown to be a surrogate of arterial underfilling in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Moreover, high TTKG at discharge has been shown to be associated with poor prognosis in ADHF patients. Empagliflozin, one of the sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and cardiovascular disease. However, little is known about the effect of empagliflozin as add-on therapy on TTKG in T2D patients with ADHF. Purpose We sought to elucidate the effect of empagliflozin as add-on therapy on TTKG in T2D patients with ADHF. Methods We enrolled 58 consecutive T2D patients admitted for ADHF. On admission, enrolled patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either empagliflozin add-on therapy (EMPA(+)) or conventional glucose-lowering therapy (EMPA(−)). All patients in EMPA(+) group received empagliflozin (10 mg/day) throughout the study period. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was measured at baseline using echocardiography. Body weight and vital signs, such as blood pressure and heart rate, were measured, and blood and urine samples were collected at baseline and 1, 2, 3 and 7 days after randomization. The TTKG was measured using the first morning urine samples collected on each day. TTKG was calculated according to the following equation: TTKG = (Ku/Ks)×(plasma osmolality/urine osmolality), where Ku is urine potassium concentration and Ks is serum potassium concentration, as previously reported. Results Thirty patients were assigned to the EMPA(+) group, and 28 patients were assigned to the EMPA(−) group. There were no significant baseline differences in LVEF, plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level, body mass index, or serum creatinine level between the EMPA(+) and EMPA(−) groups. TTKG did not significantly differ between the two groups at baseline. However, seven days after randomization, plasma BNP level was significantly lower in the EMPA(+) group than in the EMPA(−) group (median 227 [IQR 114–381] pg/mL vs 362 [227–554] pg/mL, p=0.0294). Furthermore, TTKG of the EMPA(+) group was significantly lower at 2, 3 and 7 days after randomization (Figure). Conclusions This study demonstrated that empagliflozin as add-on therapy can lower TTKG in T2D patients with ADHF. Figure 1 Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Staging Classification

Abstract Introduction Recently a multidisciplinary group of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) derived a new classification schema for cardiogenic shock (CS), simple, clinically based and suitable for rapid assessment at the bedside but also arbitrary. Validation in different clinical datasets, specifically in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), is necessary to establish the utility of this proposed classification schema. Purpose We aimed to evaluate the ability of a new SCAI CS staging classification to predict in-hospital mortality in patients with ADHF. Methods We conducted a single-center cohort study, performing a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data of consecutive patients admitted with ADHF as a primary diagnosis between January 2015 and January 2019. We excluded patients who were hospitalized for an acute coronary syndrome. Patients were assigned to the modified SCAI Classification for CS: Stage A is “at risk” for CS, stage B is “beginning” shock, stage C is “classic”, stage D is “deteriorating”, and E is “extremis”, and in-hospital mortality was evaluated for each group. All-cause mortality was compared across SCAI stages using Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank test. Cox proportional hazards models were used to determine the association between SCAI stages and in-hospital mortality after adjusting for age, gender, left ventricular ejection fraction, use of vasoactive medication, mechanical circulatory assist devices, mechanical ventilation, percutaneous coronary intervention and cardiac surgery. Results Among 668 patients with a mean age of 74.9±12 years, 63.9% were male. In-hospital mortality was 11.2%. According to SCAI classification, the proportion of patients in stages A through E was 51.7%, 26.7%, 14.4%, 4.6% and 2.5%. The unadjusted mortality in each stages was: A 0.6%, B 4.5%, C 32.3%, D 61.3%, and E 88.2% (Log Rank P<0.0001). After multivariable adjustment, each SCAI shock stage remained associated with increased in-hospital mortality (all P<0.001 compared to stage A). Compared with SCAI shock stage A, adjusted hazard ratio (HR) values in SCAI shock stages B through E were 5.2, 31, 107, and 185, respectively (Figure). Conclusion In this large clinical cohort of patients with ADHF exclusively, the new SCAI CS staging classification was associated with in-hospital mortality. This finding supports the rationale of the classification in this setting, further prospective trials are needed to validate these findings.

The Difference

Background: Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is routinely measured for evaluating the severity of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). However, there are no other biomarkers for stratification of ADHF patients in clinical settings. Cardiac myosin I (CM-I) is one of a superfamily of motor proteins, which is mainly distributed in myocardium. Several papers reported that serum CM-I levels increased in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, the role of CM-I in ADHF patients is not yet elucidated. Purpose: The aim of this study was to clarify the utility of CM-I in ADHF patients. Methods: We assessed 114 ADHF patients who visited our institution between December 2017 and May 2018 in a retrospective study. All patients were diagnosed ADHF using Framingham criteria. Eight ACS patients and 22 patients lacking in data of serum CM-I levels were excluded. Finally, we analyzed 84 patients. We calculated the difference in serum BNP levels between on admission and at discharge (delta BNP) as a prognostic surrogate marker. Results: Average age was 77.5 years old and 44 patients were male. Numbers of patients with NYHA III and IV were 30 and 36, respectively. Mean serum levels of BNP and Troponin T (TrT) on admission were 934.0 pg/ml and 0.092 ng/ml, respectively. Average left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) by echocardiography was 46.1%. Serum CM-I levels on admission and at discharge were 12.8 mg/ml and 7.30 mg/ml, respectively. Serum CM-I levels had a significant correlation with TrT levels (R=0.46, p<0.0001) and a weak correlation with BNP levels (R=0.33, p= 0.006). CM-I levels were not statistically correlated with LVEF. CM-I levels were well correlated with delta BNP(R=0.36, p= 0.0138), but TrT were not associated with delta BNP(R=0.066, p= 0.658). Conclusion: We found CM-I was associated with the difference in BNP between on admission and at discharge in ADHF patients. CM-I may be a new potential prognostic biomarker in ADHF patients.

Multicenter Observational Study

Background: Sarcopenia is associated with poor prognosis in chronic heart failure. Fat-free mass index (FFMI) is an indicator of resting energy expenditure and has been used for the clinical diagnosis of sarcopenia. However, the prognostic impact of sarcopenia diagnosed by FFMI remains to be elucidated in patients admitted with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and preserved LVEF (HFpEF), relating to gender. Methods: Patients' data were extracted from The Prospective mUlticenteR obServational stUdy of patIenTs with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (PURSUIT-HFpEF) study, which is a prospective multicenter observational registry for ADHF patients with LVEF ≥50% in Osaka. We studied 621 patients who survived to discharge (men, n=281 and women, n=340). Fat-free mass (FFM) was estimated by the formula [FFM (kg) = 7.38 + 0.02908 х urinary creatinine (mg/day)] and normalized by the square of the patient’s height in meters to calculate FFMI at discharge. Sarcopenia was defined as FFMI <17 kg/m2 in men and <15 kg/m2 in women. The endpoint was all-cause death. Results: During a follow-up period of 1.5±0.8 yrs, 102 patients died (men, n=46 and women, n=56). At multivariate Cox analysis, FFMI was significantly associated with the mortality independently of age, estimated glomerular filtration rate, NT-proBNP and LVEF in both men (p=0.0155) and women (p=0.0223). Patients with sarcopenia had a significantly higher risk of all-cause death than those without sarcopenia in both genders (Figure). Conclusions: In this multicenter study, sarcopenia diagnosed by FFMI was shown to be associated with poor clinical outcome in HFpEF patients admitted with ADHF in both genders.

Diuretic Resistance

Background: Diuretic resistance is associated with poor clinical outcome in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). However, little information is available on the prognostic significance of diuretic resistance in ADHF patients, relating to reduced, mid-range, or preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Methods: We studied 400 consecutive patients who were admitted for ADHF and survived to discharge. Diuretic resistance (DR) was defined by furosemide dose per body weight (BW) at discharge. Patients were classified by DR, and high dose group (higher DR) was defined by furosemide dose of > median value of DR (0.580). The endpoint was a composite of all-cause mortality and unplanned hospitalization for worsening heart failure. Results: There were 139 patients with heart failure with reduced LVEF (HFrEF, LVEF<40%), 86 with mid-range LVEF (HFmrEF, 40%≤LVEF<50%) and 175 with preserved LVEF (HFpEF, LVEF≥50%). There was no significant difference in DR among the three groups (HFrEF; median 0.541 [IQR 0.360-0.786] mg/kg vs HFmrEF; 0.606 [0.398-0.820] mg/kg vs HFpEF; 0.624 [0.380-0.935] mg/kg, p=NS). During follow-up of 2.4±1.6 years, 195 patients reached the endpoint (HFrEF, n=67, HFmrEF, n=44, and HFpEF, n=84). In multivariate Cox analysis, DR was significantly associated with the endpoint independently of age, estimated glomerular filtration rate, plasma brain natriuretic peptide level and LVEF only in HFpEF patients (p<0.0001). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the risk of the endpoint was significantly higher in the patients with higher DR in HFpEF patients, but not in HFrEF or HFmrEF patients (Figure). Conclusions: In this study, higher DR was shown to be associated with poor clinical outcome in HFpEF patients admitted with ADHF.

Abstract Aims Cardiac 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) imaging provides prognostic information in patients with chronic heart failure (HF). However, there is little information available on the prognostic role of cardiac 123I-MIBG imaging in patients admitted for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), especially relating to reduced ejection fraction [HFrEF; left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) &lt; 40%], mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF; 40% ≤ LVEF &lt; 50%) and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF; LVEF ≥ 50%). Methods and results We studied 349 patients admitted for ADHF and discharged with survival. Cardiac 123I-MIBG imaging, echocardiography, and venous blood sampling were performed just before discharge. The cardiac 123I-MIBG heart-to-mediastinum ratio (late H/M) was measured on the chest anterior view images obtained at 200 min after the isotope injection. The endpoint was cardiac events defined as unplanned HF hospitalization and cardiac death. During a follow-up period of 2.1 ± 1.4 years, 128 patients had cardiac events (45/127 in HFrEF, 28/78 in HFmrEF, and 55/144 in HFpEF). On multivariable Cox analysis, late H/M was significantly associated with cardiac events in overall cohort (P = 0.0038), and in subgroup analysis of each LVEF subgroup (P = 0.0235 in HFrEF, P = 0.0119 in HFmEF and P = 0.0311 in HFpEF). Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that patients with low late H/M (defined by median) had significantly greater risk of cardiac events in overall cohort (49% vs. 25% P &lt; 0.0001) and in each LVEF subgroup (HFrEF: 48% vs. 23% P = 0.0061, HFmrEF: 51% vs. 21% P = 0.0068 and HFpEF: 50% vs. 26% P = 0.0026). Conclusion Cardiac sympathetic nerve dysfunction was associated with poor outcome in ADHF patients irrespective of HFrEF, HFmrEF, or HFpEF.

Abstract Background Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) portends adverse prognosis in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Whether T2DM independently increases the risk of incident heart failure (HF) in AF is uncertain. Also, HF phenotype developing in patients with vs. those without T2DM has not been characterised. Purpose In AF patients without a history of prior HF, we aimed to assess: 1) the impact of T2DM on the risk of new-onset HF; and 2) the association between T2DM and HF phenotype developing during the prospective follow-up. Methods We included diabetic and non-diabetic AF patients, without a history of HF. Baseline T2DM status was inferred from medical history, haemoglobin A1c levels and oral glucose tolerance test. Study outcome was the first hospital admission or emergency department treatment for new-onset HF during the prospective follow-up. The phenotype of new-onset HF was determined by echocardiographic exam performed following clinical stabilisation (at hospital discharge, or within a month after HF diagnosis). HF phenotype was defined as HFrEF (left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] <40%), HFmrEF (LVEF 40–49%) or HFpEF (LVEF≥50%). Cox regression analyses adjusted for age, sex, baseline LVEF, comorbidities, smoking status, alcohol intake, AF type (paroxysmal vs. non-paroxysmal) and T2DM treatment was used to analyse the association between T2DM and incident HF. Results Among 1,288 AF patients without prior HF (mean age: 62.1±12.7 years; 61% male), T2DM was present in 16.5%. Diabetic patients had higher mean baseline LVEF compared with nondiabetic patients (50.0±6.2% vs. 57.6±9.0%; P<0.001). During the median 5.5-year follow-up, new-onset HF occurred in 12.4% of patients (incidence rate, 2.9; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.5–3.3 per 100 patient-years). Compared with non-diabetic patients, those with T2DM had a hazard ratio of 2.1 (95% CI, 1.6–2.8; P<0.001) for new-onset HF, independent of baseline LVEF or other factors. In addition, diabetic patients had a significantly greater decline in covariate-adjusted mean LVEF (−10.4%; 95% CI, −9.8% to −10.8%) at follow-up, compared with nondiabetic patients (−4.0%; 95% CI, −3.8% to −4.2%), P<0.001. The distribution of HF phenotypes at follow-up is presented in Figure. Among patients with T2DM, HFrEF (56.9%) was the most common phenotype of HF, whereas in patients without T2DM, HF mostly took the phenotype of HFpEF (75.0%). Conclusions T2DM is associated with an independent risk of new-onset HF in patients with AF and confers a greater decline in LVEF compared to individuals without T2DM. HFrEF was the most prevalent presenting phenotype of HF in AF patients with T2DM.
