  • Current devices are used for arrhythmia treatment
  • HF Diagnostics are indirect physiological

assessment and a byproduct of CIED

  • Only 20-25% of heart failure patients qualify for an

implantable device

  • 5-10% complication rate for the implant procedures
  • Costly ~ $ 30,000 per device
  • Newer implantable devices target diagnostics

CHAMPION Trial: Symptoms vs. PAP Management

  • Improve symptoms

– ↓filling pressures, ↓ volume, ? ↑ CO without further myocardial, renal and liver damage

  • Identify triggering events

– Ischemia, hypertensive emergency, arrhythmias (AF), worsening CKD, infections, compliance

  • Change substrate (heart, kidney)
  • Initiate life saving therapies
  • Address the “vulnerable phase”
  • Palliative care/ hospice where appropriate

  • Symptoms significantly improved

– Assess exertional dyspnea!

  • Test exercise capacity

– 6MWD > 1000 feet

  • Volume management achieved

– Stable on oral diuretics (euvolemic) > 24 hrs.

  • Education achieved

– Teach back techniques!

  • Guideline directed medical therapy implement

– ACE-I/ ARB; BB; MRB; Diuretics

  • Post discharge follow-up within a week

Importance of Post Discharge Follow-up

Lee DS et al. Circulation. 2010; 122: 1806-1814.

  • Congestion is the lead cause of HF hospitalizations
  • Congestion contributes to progression of HF
  • Patients leave hospital with congestion, resulting in

high rehospitalization rate

  • Congestion is often subclinical and difficult to assess

when present

  • Significant dissociation between hemodynamic and

clinical congestion, even when hemodynamics are very abnormal

  • Need for better monitoring of degree and changes in

congestion (more accurate and sensitive)

Conclusions

  • Heart failure hospitalizations are common/ costly
  • Risk stratify and start appropriate treatment early
  • Use all means to reduce filling pressures/ volume,

without damaging myocardium, kidney and liver

  • Identify triggers of admission and change the

substrate (ischemia, arrhythmias, non compliance)

  • Implement life saving therapies
  • Discharge patients only when ready
  • Early post-discharge follow-up is key
  • Future management will involve remote home

management (wearable devices)

Conclusions

Conclusions

  • Monitoring PA Pressures can provide early

warning of condition worsening/ decompensation much better than body weight and long before symptoms

  • Most changes occur over a few days - weeks
  • Having a treatment algorithm based on PA

Pressures values is key to successful treatment and preventing heart failure readmissions

  • Always treat to max: drive pressures down to

patient’s normal
