Abstract Background Plasma volume (PV) expansion plays an essential role in heart failure and PV status provides prognostic information in patients (pts) with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). On the other hand, concomitant presence of pulmonary hypertension in heart failure is associated with increased adverse events and may be related to interventricular uncoupling and impaired cardiac efficiency. It has recently been shown that an increased mean pulmonary artery pressure to mean systemic arterial pressure ratio (MPS ratio), a marker of interventricular coupling and efficiency, is associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure. However, there is no information available on the long-term prognostic value of the combination of PV status and MPS ratio in pts admitted for ADHF. Methods We studied 248 pts admitted for ADHF, who underwent right heart catheterization at the admission and were discharged with survival. PV status and MPS ratio were obtained at the admission. PV status was calculated as the following: Actual PV = (1 − hematocrit) x [a + (b x body weight)] (a=1530 in males and a=864 in females, b=41 in males and b=47.9 in females), Ideal PV = c x body weight (c=39 in males and c=40 in females), and PV status = [(actual PV − ideal PV)/ideal PV] x 100(%). The study endpoint was cardiovascular death (CVD). Results During a mean follow-up period of 5.2±4.4 yrs, 62 pts had CVD. PV status (10.0±16.2 vs 5.0±15.3%, p=0.03) and MPS ratio (0.408±0.114 vs 0.347±0.102, p=0.0001) were significantly greater in patients with than without CVD. At multivariate Cox regression analysis, PV status and MPS ratio were significantly associated with CVD, independently of prior heart failure hospitalization, eGFR, and serum sodium level and anemia. Patients with greater PV status (> median value = 4.6%) and MPS ratio (> median value = 0.346) had a significantly higher CVD risk than those with either and none of them (44% vs 22% vs 14%, p<0.0001, respectively). Conclusions The combination of PV status and MPS ratio might be useful for stratifying patients at risk for CVD in patients with ADHF.

Abstract Background Malnutrition is associated with increased mortality risk in patients (pts) with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). On the other hand, concomitant presence of pulmonary hypertension in heart failure is associated with increased adverse events and may be related to interventricular uncoupling and impaired cardiac efficiency. It has recently been shown that an increased mean pulmonary artery pressure to mean systemic arterial pressure ratio (MPS ratio), a marker of interventricular coupling and efficiency, is associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure. However, there is no information available on the long-term prognostic value of the combination of malnutrition and MPS ratio in pts admitted for ADHF. Methods and results We studied 248 pts admitted for ADHF, who underwent right heart catheterization at the admission and were discharged with survival. Malnutrition was assessed by geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and controlling nutritional status score (CONUT). During a mean follow-up period of 5.2±4.4 yrs, 62 pts had cardiovascular death (CVD). MPS ratio was significantly greater in pts with than without CVD (0.408±0.114 vs 0.347±0.102, p=0.0001). GNRI and PNI were significantly lower, CONUT was significantly greater in pts with than without CVD. At multivariate Cox regression analysis, GNRI and MPS ratio were significantly associated with CVD, independently of prior heart failure hospitalization, eGFR, and serum sodium level and anemia, although PNI and CONUT showed the association with CVD at unvariate analysis. Pts with malnutrition (GNRI≤median value=96.5) and greater MPS ratio (≥median value=0.346) had a significantly higher CVD risk than those with either and none of them (51% vs 20% vs 12%, p&lt;0.0001, respectively). Conclusions The combination of malnutrition and MPS ratio might be useful for stratifying pts at risk for CVD in patients with ADHF. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Introduction: Leg muscle strength (LMS) could be an index of frailty in patients with heart failure. However, its prognostic value in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is not well investigated. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that impaired LMS was independently associated with poor clinical outcome in patients with ADHF. Methods: We measured LMS in 110 prospectively and consecutively enrolled ADHF patients (75 male, mean age 60 ± 14 years, mean ejection fraction 29.9 ± 14.6%) at predischarge period. Primary endpoint was cardiovascular (CV) events defined as CV mortality, cardiac transplantation or rehospitalization due to HF aggravation. Results: The CV events occurred in 28 (25.5%) patients (5 cardiovascular deaths and 6 cardiac transplantations) during follow up period (median 246 days, 11-888 days). When the patients with ADHF were divided by LMS according to Contal and O’Quigley's method, impaired LMS was shown to be associated with poor clinical outcome (P<0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that LMS was found to be an independent predictor of CV events (P=0.017) when controlled for age, gender, BMI, types of heart failure, hemoglobin, NT-proBNP and beta-blocker use. Conclusions: LMS independently predicts clinical outcome in patients with ADHF and might be used as a surrogate marker of frailty. Further studies are needed to evaluate the prognostic role of leg muscle strengthening exercise in these patients.

Abstract Background Concomitant presence of pulmonary hypertension in heart failure is associated with increased adverse events and may be related to interventricular uncoupling and impaired cardiac efficiency. It has recently been shown that an increased mean pulmonary artery pressure to mean systemic arterial pressure ratio (MPS ratio), a marker of interventricular coupling and efficiency, is associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure. However, there is little information available on the long-term prognostic value of MPS ratio in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), relating to reduced or preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF or HFpEF). Methods and results We studied 240 patients admitted for ADHF, who underwent right heart catheterization and were discharged with survival (HFrEF (LVEF≤40%); n=110, HFpEF (LVEF>40%); n=130). MPS ratio was obtained at the admission. During a mean follow-up period of 5.2±4.4 yrs, 59 patients had cardiovascular death (CVD). In both groups with HFrEF and HFpEF, MPS ratio was significantly greater in patients with than without CVD (HFrEF; 0.453±0.101 vs 0.382±0.116, p=0.0035, HFpEF; 0.374±0.118 vs 0.323±0.083, p=0.0091). At multivariate Cox regression analysis, MPS ratio was significantly associated with CVD, independently of eGFR and serum sodium level in HFrEF and HFpEF groups. Patients with high MPS ratio (>0.386 in HFrEF and >0.415 in HFpEF determined by ROC curve analysis) had a significantly increased risk of CVD than those with low MPS ratio in both groups. Conclusions MPS ratio could provide the long-term prognostic information in patients admitted for ADHF, regardless of reduced or preserved LVEF.

Abstract Background Several studies have proved that both poor nutrition (PN) and Frail are associated with poor prognosis among heart failure patients. However, it has not been fully revealed whether PN and frail could have impact on prognosis accumulatively. Purpose The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the impact of nutritional and Frailty status on 1-year mortality among hospitalized patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Methods Study subjects comprised of 315 hospitalized patients with ADHF. To evaluate the nutritional and Frailty status, we calculated the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score and the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures (SOF) index at hospital admission. PN and Frailty were defined as the CONUT score ≥5 and SOF index ≥2, respectively. Results z Sixty-nine subjects (21.9%) were died within 1-year. PN and Frailty were observed in 33.3% and 55.6% of study subjects, respectively. Both PN and Frailty were similarly related to the 1-year mortality by univariate cox regression analysis (Hazard Ratio (HR) 2.43, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.51–3.91, p=0.0003: HR 3.13, 95% CI 1.83–5.66, p<0.0001, respectively). Study subjects were classified into 4 groups according to the nutritional and frailty status: control (normal nutrition without Frailty, n=110), PN alone (PN without Frailty, n=30), Frailty alone (Frailty without PN, n=100), and PN + Frailty (PN with Frailty, n=75). The Kaplan-Meier event curves for 1-year all-cause mortality illustrated that subjects with PN + Frailty had a significantly higher mortality than in subjects with control, PN alone and Frailty alone (log rank p=0.0001, 0.0180, 0.0070, respectively). As well as, cox regression analysis revealed that PN + Frailty showed significantly higher mortality than control, PN alone and Frailty alone. (HR 5.33, 95% CI 2.75–11.1, p<0.0001: HR 2.99, 95% CI 1.26–8.78, p=0.011: HR 2.07, 95% CI 1.21–3.61, p=0.008, respectively). Moreover, multivariate cox regression analysis also revealed that PN with Frailty was independently associated with 1-year mortality even after adjustment for age, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, and chronic kidney disease. (HR 3.40, 95% CI 1.69–7.32, adjusted p<0.001) Kaplan-Meier curve for 1year mortality Conclusions The combination assessment consisted with nutrition and frailty could identify poor prognosis patients with ADHF.

Backgrounds: Controlled heart rate (HR) and increased pulse pressure (PP) are related to better outcomes in stable heart failure. Hemodynamic response to stress evaluated by an acute hemodynamics index (AHI), the product of HR and PP, has been reported to be associated with poor outcomes in patients admitted for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). However, there is no information available on the long-term prognostic value of the serial change of AHI during hospitalization in patients admitted for ADHF. Methods and Results: We studied 259 patients admitted for ADHF and discharged with survival. We measured AHI (HR x PP/1000) at admission and discharge. AHI significantly decreased from admission to discharge (6.98±3.04 to 3.81±1.21 bpm·mmHg, p<0.0001). During a mean follow-up period of 5.0±3.2 yrs, 53 patients had cardiac death. The change [ad-dis] of AHI from admission to discharge (AHI[ad-dis]) was significantly less in patients with than without cardiac death (1.98±2.17 vs 3.47±2.87 bpm·mmHg, p=0.0005). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that AHI[ad-dis], but not PP[ad-dis], was significantly associated with cardiac death, independently of prior heart failure hospitalization, body mass index, estimated glomerular filtration rate, hemoglobin level and left ventricular end-diastolic dimension. ROC analysis revealed that AUC in AHI[ad-dis](0.668[0.588-0.749]) was greater than that in PP[ad-dis](0.637[0.572-0.717]). Patients with less AHI[ad-dis] (≤1.79 bpm·mmHg by ROC analysis) had a significantly higher risk of cardiac death than those with greater AHI[ad-dis] (adjusted hazard ratio: 3.19[1.77 to 5.76], 30% vs 13%, p<0.0001). Conclusions: Cardiac death was frequently observed in ADHF patients who had less degree of the decrease in AHI during hospitalization. The change of AHI during hospitalization would be a simple and useful marker for risk stratification in patients admitted for ADHF.

Abstract Background Concomitant presence of pulmonary hypertension in heart failure (HF) is associated with increased adverse events and may be related to interventricular uncoupling and impaired cardiac efficiency. An increased mean pulmonary artery pressure to mean systemic arterial pressure ratio (MPS ratio), a marker of interventricular coupling and efficiency, is reported to be associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients with advanced HF. On the other hand, cardiohepatic interactions have been a focus of attention in HF, and liver dysfunction in HF patients is caused by liver congestion, which is related to liver stiffness. It has been recently shown that liver stiffness assessed by non-invasive fibrosis marker such as Fibrosis-4 (FIB4) index predicts the mortality in HF patients. However, there is no information available on the prognostic value of the combination of MPS ratio and FIB4 index in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Methods and results We studied 238 patients admitted for ADHF, who underwent right heart catheterization at the admission and were discharged with survival. MPS ratio was obtained at the admission. FIB4 index was calculated by the formula: age (yrs) × AST [U/L] / (platelets [103/μL] × √(ALT[U/L])). FIB4 index &gt;2.67 was defined as abnormal, as previously reported. During a follow up period of 5.2±4.4 yrs, 93 patients died. At multivariate Cox analysis, MPS ratio (p=0.01) and FIB4 index (p=0.01) were significantly associated with the total mortality, independently of creatinine level and prior heart failure hospitalization, after the adjustment with hemoglobin, albumin levels and body mass index. The patients with both MPS ratio ≥0.388 (determined by ROC analysis; AUC 0.613 [0.541–0.687]) and abnormal FIB4 index had a significantly increased risk of the total mortality than those with either greater MPS or abnormal FIB4 index and none of them (52% vs 40% vs 28%, p=0.0068, respectively). Conclusion The combination of MPS ratio and FIB4 index might be useful for stratifying ADHF patients at higher risk for the total mortality. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None
