The perception of acute heart failure (AHF) as a single entity is increasingly outdated, as distinct patient profiles can be discerned. Key heart failure (HF) studies have previously highlighted the difference in both the course and prognosis of de novo AHF and acute decompensated chronic HF (ADHF). Accordingly, distinct AHF profiles with differing underlying pathophysiologies of disease progression can be shown. We compared a range of selected biomarkers in order to better describe the profile of de novo AHF and ADHF, including the inter alia—serum lactate, bilirubin, matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP-9), follistatin, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), lipocalin and galectin-3. The study comprised 248 AHF patients (de novo = 104), who were followed up for one year. The biomarker data of the de novo AHF and ADHF profiles was then compared in order to link biomarkers to their prognosis. Our study demonstrated that, although there are similarities between each patient profile, key biomarker differences do exist—predominantly in terms of NTproBNP, serum lactate, bilirubin, ICAM-1, follistatin, ferritin and sTfR (soluble transferrin receptor). ADHF tended to have compromised organ function and higher risks of both one-year mortality and composite endpoint (one-year mortality or rehospitalization for heart failure) hazard ratios (HR) (95% CI): 3.4 (1.8–6.3) and 2.8 (1.6–4.6), respectively, both p < 0.0001. Among the biomarkers of interest: sTfR HR (95% CI): 1.4 (1.04–1.8), NGAL(log) (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin) HR (95% CI): 2.0 (1.3–3.1) and GDF-15(log) (growth/differentiation factor-15) HR (95% CI): 4.0 (1.2–13.0) significantly impacted the one-year survival, all p < 0.05.

Background: Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a known risk for stroke and morbidities and mortalities are known to be higher in CHF patients compared to stroke patients without CHF we here study the prevalence and the clinical significance in a group of patient with stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) who were admitted to hospital with acute heart failure (AHF) compared to those without stroke and are admitted with acute heart failure Methods: Data were derived from a prospective, multicenter, multinational study of 5005 patients hospitalized with AHF from February 2013 to November 2012. Data were analyzed according to the presence or absence of Stroke or bronchial TIA. Demographic, management, in-hospital and 1-year outcomes were compared Results: Stroke patients were likely to have a decompensation of chronic failure rather than De-Novo AHF when compared to those without Stroke/TIA (see table). Stroke patients were older; more likely to be female, have history of DM, HTN, dyslipidemia and CKD. Stroke patients were likely to have Atrial fibrillation, PVD, systolic LV dysfunction as well as CAD when compared to those without Stroke, they were also more likely receive NIV, IV inotropes and likely to have had cardiac PCI prior to this admission with AHF. Stroke patients had higher recurrence of stroke and one-year mortality rates. Conclusion: Patients who presented with AHF and history of stroke/TIA were having different clinical characteristics as well as comorbidities as compared to those without Stroke, with worse in-hospital and one-year outcome. The current study underlies the need to aggressively manage these high-risk patients.

Introduction. Acute heart failure (AHF) is one of the most common diseases in emergency medicine, associated with poor prognosis and high in-hospital and long-term mortality. Objective. To investigate clinical presentation of patients with de novo AHF and acute worsening of chronic heart failure (CHF) and to identify differences in blood levels of biomarkers and echocardiography findings. Methods. This prospective study comprised 64 consecutive patients being grouped according to the onset of the disease into patients with the de novo AHF (45.3%), and patients with acute worsening of CHF (54.7%). Results. Acute congestion (60%) was the most common manifestation of de novo AHF, whereas pulmonary oedema (43.1%) was the most common manifestation of acutely decompensated CHF. Patients with acutely decompensated CHF had significantly higher blood values of creatinine (147.10 vs 113.16 ?mol/l; p<0.05), urea (12.63 vs 7.82 mmol/l; p<0.05), BNP (1440.11 vs 712.24 pg/ml; p<001) and NTproBNP (9097.00 vs 2827.70 pg/ml; p<0.01) on admission, and lower values of M-mode left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) during hospitalization (49.44% vs 42.94%; p<0.05). The follow-up after one year revealed still significantly higher BNP (365.49 vs 164.02 pg/ ml; p<0.05) and lower average values of both LVEF in patients with acutely worsened CHF (46.62% vs 54.41% and 39.52% vs 47.88%; p<0.05). Conclusion. Considering differences in clinical severity on admission, echocardiography and natriuretic peptide values during hospitalization and after one year follow-up, de novo AHF and acutely worsened CHF are two different subgroups of the same syndrome.

Abstract Aims Our aim was to assess the dynamic changes of pulmonary congestion (PC) through variations of sonographic B-lines, in addition to conventional clinical, biohumoral and echocardiographic findings, to improve prognostic stratification of patients admitted for acute heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection fraction (HFrEF, HFpEF). Methods In this multicenter, prospective, observational study, lung ultrasound was performed in all patients at admission and before discharge by trained investigators, blinded to clinical findings and outcomes. Results We enrolled 208 consecutive patients admitted for acute heart failure (125 HFrEF, 83 HFpEF, mean age 75.9±11.7 years, 36% females, mean ejection fraction 38%). After 180-day follow-up, 38 composite endpoint events occurred (cardiovascular deaths or HF re-hospitalisations). In a multivariate model, B-lines at discharge had independent prognostic value in the overall population together with NT-proBNP, moderate-to-severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and inferior vena cava diameter at admission. When dividing the population in HFrEF and HFpEF, B-lines at discharge was the only independent parameter to predict events in all subgroups. At ROC analysis, a cut-off of B-lines&gt;15 at discharge displayed the highest accuracy in predicting adverse events (AUC=0.80, p&lt;0.0001). The identification of patients unable to halve B-lines during hospitalization (ΔB-lines%), in addition to B-lines &gt;15 at discharge, improved event classification (integrated discrimination improvement=4%, p=0.01; continuous net reclassification improvement=22.8%, p=0.04). Conclusions The presence of residual subclinical sonographic PC at discharge predicts adverse events in the whole spectrum of acute HF patients, independently of conventional biohumoral and echocardiographic parameters. The dynamic evaluation of pulmonary decongestion during hospital stay can further improve patient risk stratification. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Introduction/Objective. Clinical risk stratification of patients hospitalized due to acute heart failure (AHF) applying B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), troponin I (TnI), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) biochemical markers can contribute to early diagnosis of AHF and lower mortality rates. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic significance of biomarkers (BNP, TnI, and hsCRP) and co-morbidities concerning one-year mortality in patients with AHF. Methods. Clinical group comprised 124 consecutive unselected patients, age 60?80 years, treated at the Coronary Care Unit of the Niska Banja Institute, Nis. The patients were monitored for one year after the discharge. During the first 24 hours after admission, BNP, TnI, and hsCRP were measured in fasting serum. Results. Total one-year mortality was 29.8%. The levels of serum BNP were significantly higher in the group of non-survivors compared to the group of survivors (1353.8 ?} 507.8 vs. 718.4 ?} 387.6 pg/mL, p < 0.001). We identified several clinical and biochemical prognostic risk factors by univariate and multivariate analysis. Independent predictors of one-year mortality were the following: BNP, TnI, depression, hypotension, chronic renal failure, ejection fraction, and right-ventricle systolic pressure. Conclusion. The presence of BNP and TnI biomarkers and several co-morbidities such as depression or chronic renal failure have significant influence on one-year mortality in patients with AHF.
