Classifying Heart Failure – the New York
Heart Association method
• NYHA I
No symptoms with ordinary physical activity (walking and climbing
stairs)
• NYHA II (mild)
Slight limitation of activity with dyspnoea on moderate to severe activity (climbing
stairs or walking uphill)
• NYHA III (moderate)
Marked limitation of activity. Less than ordinary activity causes dyspnoea
(restricting walking distance and limiting climbing to one flight of stairs)
• NYHA IV (severe)
Severe disability, dyspnoea at rest (unable to carry out physical activity without
discomfort)
Rules of HF
Remember
symptoms
haemodynamics
symptoms
survival
Remember
CO=SVxHR
BP=TPRxCO
Remember
Starling’s Law: preload = force of contraction
Lapace’s Law: large heart = inefficient
Neurohormonal model of Heart Failure –
Sympathetic Response
afterload
cardiac workload
arterioconstriction
norepinephrine
aortic
blood
flow
cardiac output
SNS
Remember
CO = SV x HR
Neurohormonal model of Heart Failure –
renin-angiotensin-aldosterone
afterload
preload
cardiac workload
arterioconstriction
Remember
Starlings
Law
remodelling
Na+ and H2O
retention
aldosterone
cardiac output
Renal
blood flow
RAS
angiotensin
venoconstriction
Treatment of Heart Failure
Remember
Survival = drug treatment
afterload
hydralazine
preload
cardiac workload
diuretics
arterioconstriction
digoxin
norepinephrine
aortic
blood
flow
SNS
Na+ and H2O
retention
spironolactone
aldosterone
cardiac output
Renal
blood flow
RAS
B-blockers
ACE-I
angiotensin
naturetic peptides
NEP-I
nitrates
venoconstriction
Role of Diuretics
• loops most effective
• symptomatic relief
• Na+ retention
•
H2O loss
•
preload ( ventricle
filling pressure)
•
afterload (arterial
dilatation)
Side effects
• dehydration
• hypotension
• hypokalaemia
• hypomagnesaemia
• hypouricaemia and
gout
• non-compliance
issues
Role of ACE-inhibitors
• improves mortality

Side effects
(CONSENSUS)
• hypotension (6%)
better than vasodilator
• hyperkalaemia (6%)
therapy (VeHFT I and II)
• cough (40%)
large well conducted
• dizziness (50%)
trials
preload (inhibits effect) • raised serum
creatinine (0.2%)
afterload (inhibits
vasoconstriction)

Role of ARBs
• improves mortality (ELITE I and II / CHARM)
• added into conventional therapy (ValHeft / CHARM)
• Less s/es
Role of Beta blockers
• improves mortality
(CIBIS 2)
• added into
conventional therapy
• attenuates sympathetic
drive (outweighs -ve ionotropic
effect)
• not all beta-blockers
are equivalent (bisoprolol
and carvedilol best supported by
evidence)
Side effects
• hypotension
• bradycardia
• peripheral
vasoconstriction
• impotence
• bronchospasm
Role of vasodilator therapy
•
preload
(venodilators - nitrates)
•
afterload
(arterial dilators prazosin)
• large trials show good
benefit but lots of side
effects
Side effects
• hypotension
• headache
• tachycardia
• SLE (hydralazine)
Role of Digoxin
• used in initial trials
• myocardial
contractility
• lost favour because of
toxicity
• renally cleared dependent on age,
weight & RF
Side effects
• anorexia
• N,V,D
• abdominal pain
• visual disturbances
• drowsiness
• arrythmias
• heart block
Role of spironolactone
• improves mortality
(RALES)
• added into
conventional therapy
• attenuates aldosterone
effect
• only small doses
required
Side effects
• hyperkalaemia
• gi disturbances
• impotence
• gynocomastia
• rash
Adjunct Therapy
• Digoxin in SR
–
–
–
DIG trial : no mortality benefit but reduction in
hospitalisations and improved symptoms
useful in symptomatic patients where other drug
therapy is optimised
should not be withdrawn from pts with HF
• Anticoagulation
–
–
if prolonged bed rest : prophylactic heparin
if LV dilatation / thrombus : chronic warfarin therapy
Mortality remains high
• ACEi
Risk reduction 35%
(mortality and hospitalizations)
•  Blockers
Risk reduction 38%
(mortality and hospitalizations)
• Oral nitrates and hydralazine
Benefit vs. placebo; inferior to enalapril (mortality)
However: 4-year mortality remains ~40%

Role of other treatments
• ?? Ca++ channel antagonists - -ve ionotropic, amlodipine
appears safe
• ?? other antiarrythmics • dobutamine - increases CO, but palliative
• Levosimendan- severe CHF
• naturetic peptide inhibitors / recombinant naturetic
peptides- omapatrilat / neseritide
• Biventricular pacing - severe CHF high cost
• transplantation - 85% survival @ 5yrs
