Consultant, St. Jude Medical
Definition of the problem Evaluation and triage Management consideration Transition to outpatient At least 25% of talk will be time for question answer, so get the questions ready I also may call on members of the audience
Acute decompensated heart failure is the leading cause
(1,000,000 per year) Mortality from HF is doubled for 12 months following hospitalization
10% at 30 days, 20-40% at 12 months Risk is additive
2 hospitalization= 4x risk
Hospitalization and rehospitalization represents the majority of the cost of caring for HF patients
ICD’s, angiography, etc vs cost of inpatient care ~ 20% readmit at 30 days, 50% at 6-12 months
Describe the average patient hospitalized for heart failure
Exclude patients who are hypertensive Concentrate on patients with reduced EF
Clinical diagnosis of signs and symptoms
Routine usage BNP NOT recommended
BNP should be used when clinical diagnosis is uncertain
Pitfalls of BNP: renal, elderly, significant COPD, obese, hyperacute HF
Diuretic
IV dose should be greater or equal to PO dosage 40 BID does NOT equal 80 qd Gtt vs intermittent bolus
Yes:
Daily weights Strict I&O Daily lytes, Cr O2 for hypoxia 2 gm NaCl DVT Prophy
Maybe
Fluid restrict Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation Telemetry
No
Routine BNP O2 for nonhypoxic Routine invasive monitor Routine inotropes
If preserved EF (> 45% ) no evidence to support ACE-I or B-blocker over other therapies ACE-I and afterload and orthostasis and Cr/ GFR Compensatory tachycardia and B-blocker and fluid retention NTG, Nipride, Neseritide
V= IR
Spironolactone
Strongest predictor of ARF in renal failure:
A)Cardiac output B)Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure C)Central venous pressure D)Systolic BP

8 glasses/ day is a No-no
Admissions beget readmissions
