Survival in patients with heart failure in the last two decades has significantly improved, owing to availability of new drugs, devices, and technologies. However, these new therapeutic tools are often costly and not without attendant risks. Thus, accurate and reproducible risk stratification is required to assess appropriateness of therapy. Although a growing body of evidence has characterized various predictors of poor outcomes, the application of comprehensive prognostic models in clinical practice remains limited. Herein, we critically evaluate the utility of prognostic scores in heart failure, discussing the strategies to select the most efficient and appropriate risk estimator in the individual patient.

Epidemiology and Outcomes of Aortic Stenosis in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure: The ARIC Study

Krishan Sivaraj, Sameer Arora, Michael Hendrickson, Trisha Slehria, Patricia P. Chang, Thelsa Weickert, Muthiah Vaduganathan, Arman Qamar, Ambarish Pandey, Melissa C. Caughey, Matthew A. Cavender, Wayne Rosamond, John P. Vavalle

Non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists and cardiorenal outcomes in chronic kidney disease

Kevin Bryan Lo, Janani Rangaswami, Muthiah Vaduganathan

Summary: The burden of adverse cardiorenal outcomes among patients with diabetes, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease remains high. Steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) have been shown to improve clinical outcomes in heart failure patients, but are underutilized, especially in advanced CKD. Non-steroidal MRAs are a new therapeutic option for patients with diabetic kidney disease and have been supported by guidelines. They have a unique pharmacological profile that retains cardiorenal benefits but may help mitigate adverse effects in CKD patients, including hyperkalemia. This review summarizes the current evidence on the use of non-steroidal MRAs in improving cardiorenal outcomes in patients with CKD and diabetes, as well as their combination use with other foundational therapies in heart failure and CKD.

Sacubitril/valsartan in heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction: a pre-specified participant-level pooled analysis of PARAGLIDE-HF and PARAGON-HF

Muthiah Vaduganathan, Robert J. Mentz, Brian L. Claggett, Zi Michael Miao, Ian J. Kulac, Jonathan H. Ward, Adrian F. Hernandez, David A. Morrow, Randall C. Starling, Eric J. Velazquez, Kristin M. Williamson, Akshay S. Desai, Shelley Zieroth, Martin Lefkowitz, John J. McMurray, Eugene Braunwald, Scott D. Solomon

Summary: Pooled analyses of PARAGLIDE-HF and PARAGON-HF demonstrate that sacubitril/valsartan can significantly reduce the risk of heart failure exacerbation and cardiovascular and renal events in patients with heart failure. These data support the use of sacubitril/valsartan in patients with heart failure, particularly those with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction.

Importance of cystatin C in estimating glomerular filtration rate: the PARADIGM-HF trial

Summary: The 2021 CKD-EPI equation combining creatinine and cystatin C provides a better estimation of GFR compared to the creatinine-only equation. The creatinine-cystatin equation led to a substantial reclassification of chronic kidney disease stages and was associated with higher mortality and worsening of clinical scores in heart failure patients.

Canagliflozin, Blood Pressure Variability, and Risk of Cardiovascular, Kidney, and Mortality Outcomes: Pooled Individual Participant Data From the CANVAS and CREDENCE Trials

Jardine, Kenneth W. Mahaffey, Bruce Neal, Carol Pollock, Min Jun, Anthony Rodgers, Vlado Perkovic, Brendon L. Neuen

Summary: Using data from CANVAS and CREDENCE trials, this study found that visit-to-visit blood pressure variability is independently associated with the risks of hospitalization for heart failure and all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes and high cardiovascular risk or chronic kidney disease. However, the use of canagliflozin has little to no effect on blood pressure variability.

Summary: Diabetes is associated with a higher risk of death in patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), with increasing prevalence of diabetes over time. Patients with diabetes were older, more often Black, and more commonly women. They had higher comorbidities and presented differently compared to patients without diabetes. They also had lower probabilities of receiving certain therapies and higher 1-year mortality risk.

Lipoprotein (a), Inflammation, and Atherosclerosis

Stefania Angela Di Fusco, Aldo Pietro Maggioni, Pietro Scicchitano, Marco Zuin, Emilia D'Elia, Furio Colivicchi

Summary: Growing evidence suggests that high levels of lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) and chronic inflammation contribute to the residual risk of cardiovascular events. Studies have found that elevated Lp(a) levels are associated with various atherosclerotic diseases, including ischemic heart disease, stroke, and calcific aortic stenosis. Current lipid-lowering drugs have limited effect on Lp(a) levels, while chronic inflammation, indicated by high sensitivity C reactive protein levels, further increases cardiovascular risk. Anti-inflammatory drugs such as canakinumab and colchicine have shown promise in reducing cardiovascular risk. Ongoing research to improve risk stratification and develop targeted diagnostic and therapeutic strategies is important for managing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Summary: Multiple cardiorenal stress biomarkers are strongly prognostic in people with type 2 diabetes and albuminuria. Canagliflozin modestly reduced the longitudinal trajectory of rise in each biomarker. Change in the biomarker level in addition to the baseline level augments the primary outcome prediction.

Summary: The combination treatment of SGLT2 inhibitors and MRA in patients with type 2 diabetes and CKD can significantly extend event-free survival and overall survival, with an estimated gain of 6.7 years in event-free survival compared to ACE inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers. This conclusion is supported by both trial data and observational study results. Even in a conservative scenario, the combination therapy still provides a substantial gain of 2.5 years in event-free survival.
