With aging of the population and an increasing burden of comorbidities, the complex interplay between cardiovascular, kidney, and metabolic risk factors have been thrust into the spotlight and have broadened the traditional focus from HF treatment to an increased emphasis on prevention. In recognition of the evolving HF landscape, the American Heart Association released the PREVENT models which are comprehensive risk assessment tools that estimate 10- and 30-year risk of incident cardiovascular disease and its subtypes, including atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and, for the first time, HF. While it is an accurate risk estimation tool and represents a step forward in improving risk stratification for primary prevention of HF, there remain several limitations and unknowns like model performance across disaggregated racial and ethnic groups, the role of traditional ASCVD vs. HF-specific risk factors, HF prediction among those with known ASCVD, and the use of traditional regression techniques in lieu of potentially more powerful machine learning-based modeling approaches. Furthermore, it remains unclear how to optimize risk estimation in clinical care. The emergence of multiple novel pharmacological therapies that prevent incident HF, including sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) receptor agonists, and nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs), highlights the importance of accurate HF risk prediction. To provide HF prevention with these effective but costly therapies, we must understand the optimal strategy in sequencing and combining these therapies and prioritize patients at highest risk. Such implementation requires both accurate risk stratification and a better understanding of how to communicate risk to patients and providers.

The present review summarizes and critically explores the currently limited data on SNS changes in HFpEF patients with a particular emphasis on caveats of the data and the implications for its subsequent interpretation. While direct measurements of SNS activity in HFpEF patients is scarce, modest increases in resting levels of muscle sympathetic nerve activity are apparent, although this may be due to the co-morbidities associated with the syndrome rather than HFpEF per se. In addition, despite some evidence for dysfunctional sympathetic signaling in the heart, there is no clear evidence for elevated cardiac sympathetic nerve activity. The lack of a compelling prognostic benefit with use of β-blockers in HFpEF patients also suggests a lack of sympathetic hyperactivity to the heart. Similarly, while renal and splanchnic denervation studies have been performed in HFpEF patients, there is no concrete evidence that the sympathetic nerves innervating these organs exhibit heightened activity. Taken together, the totality of data suggests limited evidence for elevated sympathetic nerve activity in HFpEF and that any SNS perturbations that do occur are not universal to all HFpEF patients. Finally, how the SNS responds during exertion in HFpEF patients remains unknown and requires urgent investigation.</p>","PeriodicalId":12950,"journal":{"name":"Heart Failure Reviews","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142499209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
