CONCLUSIONS

In HFrEF patients receiving optimal therapy, WRF and HK (>5.5 mmol/L only) were interrelated, were more frequent when eplerenone was added, but their occurence did not eliminate the survival benefit of eplerenone.

Are potassium binders part of the solution?

Working hypothesis:

  • New potassium binders might be used preventively to enable

RAASi use and maximal dosing in patients with a history of hyperkalemia due to RAASi or who are suspected to be at high- risk for developing hyperkalemia after RAASi initiation.

Summary (1/2)

  • Concerns about inducing worsening renal function or

hyperkalemia lead clinicians to avoid RAASi initiation or dose titration in patients with HFrEF, with or without existing CKD.

  • When hyperkalemia occurs, RAASi doses are either

reduced or these drugs are discontinued.

  • Importantly, when hyperkalemia occurred within large

RAASi outcome trials, the clinical benefit associated with the RAASi was not hindered

  • Serum potassium monitoring and algorithm-based RAASi

dosing are associated with a lower risk of developing hyperkalemia.

Summary (2/2)

  • Maximizing the chances of initiating, maintaining and
  • ptimising dosing of RAAS inhibitor life-saving therapy

can be obtained by

– Understanding the mechanism of action of RAASi – Predicting and preventing hyperkalemia and worsening renal function – frequent monitoring of K+ and creatinine.

  • Should hyperkalemia occur, prompt recognition and

management can optimize clinical outcome.

  • The role of new potassium binders in helping maximise

RAAS therapy in HF is to be investigated.
