Overview

Treatment of the underlying cause of heart failure including ischemic heart disease, hypertension, renovascular disease, or valvular heart disease is critical in the management of the patient with congestive heart failure.

Ischemic Heart Disease

Underlying ischemic heart disease is the most common cause of chronic congestive heart failure and is the underlying cause of heart failure in 50% to 75% of patients. [1]. Ischemic heart disease results in systolic dysfunction of the heart due to irreversible damage of the left ventricle if there has been a prior MI. There can also be viable tissue that is stunned or hibernating as a cause of heart failure. The management of these patients consists of risk factor modification (for example with the use of statins or beta blockers ) as well as the relief of angina (for example with the use of nitrates ). Revascularization (percuataneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting) is indicated in the following scenarios:

2022 ACC/AHA/HFSA Heart Failure Guideline (DO NOT EDIT) [2]

Revascularization for CAD

Class I
"1. In selected patients with HF, reduced EF (EF ≤ 35%), and suitable coronary anatomy, surgical revascularization plus GDMT is beneficial to improve symptoms, cardiovascular hospitalizations, and long-term all-cause mortality. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] (Level of Evidence: B-R) "

Hypertension

Hypertension is a common underlying cause of congestive heart failure. There are 2 goals in the treatment of the congestive heart failure patient with hypertension:

1. Reduce the preload and

2. Reduce the afterload

The following agents improve survival in the heart failure patient and are the preferred antihypertensive agents:

Patients with bilateral renal artery stenosis tend to have a greater risk of flash pulmonary edema than those patients with unilateral renal artery stenosis[11]. This combination of flash pulmonary edema and bilateral renal artery stenosis is known as Pickering syndrome[12]. Is not unreasonable for patients with recurrent flash pulmonary edema and renal artery stenosis to undergo revascularization. The data in support of this recommendation however is modest.

2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA Heart Failure Guidelines

Management of Hypertension

Class I
"1. In patients with HFrEF and hypertension, uptitration of GDMT to the maximally tolerated target dose is recommended. [13][14](Level of Evidence: C-LD) "

Valvular Heart Disease

In 10% to 12% of patients, valvular heart disease is the underlying cause of congestive heart failure. [15]. It should also be noted that as the heart dilates in the setting of heart failure, there is often secondary mitral regurgitation and tricuspid regurgitation in many patients with a dilated cardiomyopathy. Please consult of the chapters on either mitral regurgitation or aortic regurgitation regarding the treatment of valvular heart disease. In general, once the left ventricular systolic diameter begins to increase, mitral valve repair ( left ventricular end systolic diameter greater than 45 mm) or aortic valve replacement (left ventricular end systolic diameter greater than 55 mm) is often indicated.

2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA Heart Failure Guidelines (DO NOT EDIT) [2]

Valvular Heart Disease

Class I
"1. In patients with HF, VHD should be managed in a multidisciplinary manner in accordance with clinical practice guidelines for VHD to prevent worsening of HF and adverse clinical outcomes. [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] (Level of Evidence: B-R) "
"2. In patients with chronic severe secondary MR and HFrEF, optimization of GDMT is recommended before any intervention for secondary MR related to LV dysfunction. [18][19][20][27][28][29] (Level of Evidence: C-LD) "

Other Underlying Disorders That May Warrant Treatment

There are a variety of other systemic or cardiovascular disorders that may secondarily cause heart failure, and these primary disorders may warrant treatment as well:
