Background: The clinical development program of sacubitril/valsartan (sac/val) for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) only included a very limited number of patients being naive to prior angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEis) or angiotensin II receptor antagonists (ARBs). Recent studies support the use of sac/val in hospitalised HF patients without prior ACEis/ARBs. This study aims to compare HF patients newly prescribed either sac/val or ACEis/ARBs. Methods: Retrospective non-interventional cohort study describing two mutually exclusive adult patient cohorts diagnosed with HFrEF either initiating sac/val or ACEis/ARBs. All patients were naive to both sac/val and ACEis/ARBs for 12 months prior to the first prescription. All patients had a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤40%. Patients were identified any time between 1 st July 2015 and 31 st Dec 2018 in the Optum® de-identified EHR dataset from providers across the continuum of care. Results: 2,414 patients were initiated on sac/val, 36,563 on ACEis/ARBs. Mean age was 66.1 (SD 12.9) and 67.2 years (SD 13.7) for sac/val and ACEis/ARBs users, respectively. Sac/val patients were more likely to be male: 70.8% vs 67.2% (p<0.0001) and had a lower mean LVEF: 26.9% vs 29.3% (p<0.0001). Patients newly initiated on sac/val had similar proportion of ischemic heart disease (67.9% vs 68.2%, p=0.72), and more often valvular heart disease (48.6% vs 44.3%, p<0.0001), and use of cardio resynchronization therapy device (40.9% vs 24.0%, p<0.0001). Conclusions: This real-world study indicates that sac/val tends to be newly prescribed to younger, male HFrEF patients with lower LVEF and a higher proportion of cardio resynchronization therapy devices compared with patients newly initiated on ACEis/ARBs. The prevalence of ischemic heart disease is similar between the groups.

Abstract Background The pathogenic role of ischemic heart disease (IHD) in heart failure is well known. However, little is known about the global differences in the prognostic significance and treatment patterns of IHD in acute heart failure (AHF). Methods We prospectively enrolled 18,553 patients with AHF from 44 countries and 365 centers in the REPORT-HF registry. Patients with a history of coronary artery disease, an ischemic etiology of the AHF event or coronary revascularization were classified as IHD. Differences in clinical characteristics, treatment and outcome were analyzed. Results Compared to 9,344 (50%) patients without IHD, the 9,189 (50%) patients with IHD were older, more often had a left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] &lt;40%, (HFrEF) and decompensated chronic HF (DCHF) and had a greater comorbidity burden. Despite patients from lower-income countries having a higher prevalence of IHD (55% vs. 45% in high-income countries), only 27% of patients with IHD from low-income countries were treated with medicines commonly prescribed for HF (Figure A) compared to 16% of patients with IHD from high income countries. After correction for clinical confounders and medication use, patients with IHD had a shorter “door-to-nitrates and -diuretics time” and worse 1-year mortality (hazard ratio: 1.18, 95% CI: 1.09, 1.27, Figure B) irrespective of geographic region (Pinteraction &gt;0.1). We found a significant interaction for prognosis (Pinteraction &lt;0.001) between IHD and HF diagnosis (DCHF vs. new-onset HF) as well as HF subtype (HFrEF vs. HF with preserved ejection fraction) respectively, such that IHD conveyed worse outcomes in patients with new-onset HF and HFrEF respectively in all world regions. Conclusion In this large global contemporary cohort of patients with AHF, IHD was more common in patients from low income countries, conveyed worse 1-year mortality, particularly in patients with new onset HF and patients with HFrEF. Despite worse outcomes, patients in regions with the greatest burden of IHD were more often undertreated. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: Private company.

Abstract Background A substantial body of evidence suggests that children exposed to maternal hypertensive disorders during pregnancy (HDP) have increased risks of preterm birth, fetal growth restriction and several cardiovascular risk factors (e.g., hypertension, obesity, diabetes) later in life. However, the direct evidence on the link between maternal HDP and the risk of severe cardiovascular diseases such as ischemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke in the offspring is very limited. Objective To investigate the associations between maternal HDP and the risk of IHD and stroke in the offspring. Methods We conducted a population-based cohort study by linking several national registers in Sweden and Finland. Live singleton births from the Swedish Medical Birth Register (1973–2014) and the Finnish Medical Birth Register (1987- 2014) were followed for IHD and stroke until 2014 by the national patient and cause of death registers. We performed Cox regression models to examine the association between maternal HDP and its subtypes, i.e., pre-existing chronic hypertension, gestational hypertension, and preeclampsia, and the risk of IHD, and stroke in the offspring while adjusting for relevant maternal and pregnancy-related confounders. We conducted sibling analyses to control for unmeasured shared familial (genetic and/or environmental) risk factors. Results Among the 5,807,122 singletons included in the study, 218,322 (3.76%) children were born to mothers with HDP. During the up to 41 years of follow-up, 2,340 (0.04%) offspring were diagnosed with IHD and 5,360 (0.09%) were diagnosed with stroke. Offspring exposed to maternal HDP had an increased risk of IHD (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR), 1.29; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.01–1.63), and stroke (aHR,1.33; 95% CI, 1.14–1.56). Significantly increased rates of stroke were also observed in children exposed to the subtypes of maternal HDP: pre-existing chronic hypertension (aHR, 1.64; 95% CI, 1.03–2.60), gestational hypertension (HR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.08–1.77), and preeclampsia (HR, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.02–1.55). The associations between maternal HDP and offspring's IHD and stroke were independent of preterm birth and small for gestational age at birth. Maternal HDP remained associated with stroke in the offspring (aHR, 1.94; 95% CI, 1.16–3.22), but not with IHD (aHR, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.47–1.67) in the sibling analyses. Conclusion Children to mothers with HDP have increased rates of IHD and stroke from childhood to young adulthood. While the link between maternal HDP and IHD in the offspring seemed to be attributed to confounding by familial factors, the relation between maternal HDP and stroke persisted even when considering such confounding. Persons born to mothers with HDP may benefit from early screening and prevention efforts to reduce the risk of IHD and stroke later in life.

Abstract Background: In population studies of heart failure (HF), diabetes has been shown to be an independent risk factor. However, the evidence evaluating diabetes mellitus (DM) as an independent risk factor in incident HF in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) is scarce. Our study aimed to assess the incidence of HF in diabetic IHD patients compared to non-diabetic IHD patients in Ethiopia.Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted among 306 patients with IHD followed-up at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The IHD patients who did not have HF at baseline were followed for 24 months beginning from November 30, 2015. We assessed the incidence of HF in patients with diabetic IHD versus the non-diabetic IHD. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the association between diabetic IHD and HF after controlling for important covariates. Hypertension was examined as a possible effect modifier as well.Results: The mean age was 56.8 years, 69% were male, and 31% were diabetic. During the 24 months follow-up period, 196 (64.1%) had incident HF. On multivariate Cox regression, DM was significantly associated with incident HF [Hazard Ratio = 2.04, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.32-3.14, p = 0.001]. Furthermore, when the patients were stratified by hypertension (HTN), DM was associated with worse prognosis, the strongest association being in those with co-existing DM and HTN [HR = 2.57,95% CI =1.66-3.98, p<0.0001] followed by the presence of DM without HTN [HR 2.27, 95% CI = 1.38-3.71, p=0.001] (compared to those with neither). Conclusion: DM is the strongest predictor of incident HF, compared to other traditional risk factors, in Ethiopian patients with IHD. Those with both DM and HTN are at the highest risk.

Dialysis Patients

Among dialysis patients, only 23% have a normal echocardiogram, about 10% have recurrent or chronic congestive heart failure, and 17% have asymptomatic ischemic heart disease. The predisposing factors for congestive heart failure are dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic hyperkinetic disease, and ischemic heart disease. Dilated cardiomyopathy, a disorder of systolic function, includes among its risk factors age, hyperparathyroidism, and smoking. Hypertrophic disease results in diastolic dysfunction, and its predictors include age, hypertension, aluminum accumulation, anemia, and, perhaps, hyperparathyroidism. Ischemic heart disease is due to the presence of coronary artery disease and also to nonatherosclerotic disease caused by the reduction in coronary vasodilator reserve and altered myocardial oxygen delivery and use. The clinical outcome of congestive heart failure is comparable to that of nonrenal patients with medically refractory heart failure. Left ventricular hypertrophy is an important independent determinant of survival. A subset have hyperkinetic disease with severe hypertrophy and have a bad survival, as low as 43% have a 2-yr survival after the first admission to hospital with cardiac failure. The prognosis for those with dilated cardiomyopathy is less severe but is worse than those with normal echocardiogram. The survival of patients with symptomatic ischemic heart disease was little different from that of patients without symptoms, suggesting that the underlying cardiomyopathies had an adverse impact on survival independent of ischemic disease. Much research needs to be undertaken on the risk factors, natural history, and therapy of the various types of cardiac disease prevalent in dialysis patients.
