Because disease progression is common, practical and sensitive methods are needed to monitor patients and optimize treatment decisions. Outpatient worsening heart failure (HF) (oral loop diuretic intensification or initiation) is simple to assess and has been shown to be prognostic of mortality in patients with ATTR-CM.<h3>OBJECTIVES</h3>We aimed to assess the clinical and prognostic significance of and the effect of vutrisiran treatment on outpatient worsening HF in patients with ATTR-CM from the HELIOS-B trial.<h3>METHODS</h3>Associations between outpatient worsening HF and a composite of all-cause mortality and recurrent cardiovascular (CV) events (CV hospitalizations and urgent HF visits), all-cause mortality, and other disease progression-related endpoints were evaluated. The impact of vutrisiran over 36 months on outpatient worsening HF and an expanded composite of all-cause mortality, recurrent CV events, and outpatient worsening HF was also assessed.<h3>RESULTS</h3>Overall, 321 patients (49.1%) had ≥1 outpatient worsening HF, 245 (37.5%) had ≥1 CV event(s), and 120 (18.3%) died; 237 patients (36.2%) had no events. Patients with outpatient worsening HF had an increased risk of all-cause mortality and CV events (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.58; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.04-3.27) and all-cause mortality (HR: 2.45; 95% CI: 1.70-3.52), as well as a greater deterioration in 6-minute walk test distance and Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire-Overall Summary score, and a greater increase in <em>N</em>-terminal prohormone of B-type natriuretic peptide. In recurrent event analyses over the double-blind period, vutrisiran versus placebo reduced the rate of outpatient worsening HF (relative rate ratio: 0.66; 95% CI: 0.56-0.78). Vutrisiran also reduced the risk of the composite of all-cause mortality, CV events, and outpatient worsening HF versus placebo (HR: 0.69; 95% CI: 0.57-0.83).<h3>CONCLUSIONS</h3>Outpatient worsening HF was frequent in patients with ATTR-CM in HELIOS-B, and was associated with increased mortality, and reduced by vutrisiran.","PeriodicalId":17187,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American College of Cardiology","volume":"168 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":24.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142665354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We developed an SDOH score for CHD (SDOH<sub>CHD</sub>). We tested the associations of SDOH and PRS<sub>CHD</sub> with CHD in regression models that included clinical risk factors.<h3>Results</h3>SDOH across 5 domains, including food insecurity, income, educational attainment, health literacy, neighborhood disorder, and loneliness, were associated with CHD. SDOH<sub>CHD</sub> was highest in self-reported Black and Hispanic people. Self-reporting as Blacks had higher odds of having CHD than Whites but not after adjustment for SDOH<sub>CHD</sub>. SDOH<sub>CHD</sub> and PRS<sub>CHD</sub> were weakly correlated. In the test set (n = 33,628), 1-SD increases in SDOH<sub>CHD</sub> and PRS<sub>CHD</sub> were associated with CHD in models that adjusted for clinical risk factors (OR: 1.32; 95% CI: 1.23-1.41 and OR: 1.36; 95% CI: 1.28-1.44, respectively).

Observational data suggest that hyperkalemia is the leading obstacle for the suboptimal use of MRA.<h3>Objectives</h3>We evaluated the effects of sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC) in optimizing use of spironolactone among participants with HFrEF and hyperkalemia.<h3>Methods</h3>REALIZE-K (NCT04676646) was a prospective, double-blind, randomized- withdrawal trial in participants with HFrEF (NYHA II–IV; left ventricular ejection fraction ≤40%), optimal guideline-directed therapy (except MRA), and prevalent or incident MRA- induced hyperkalemia. During open-label run-in, participants underwent spironolactone titration (target: 50 mg/daily); those with hyperkalemia started SZC. Participants with normokalemia (potassium 3.5–5.0 mEq/L) on SZC and spironolactone ≥25 mg/daily were randomized to continued SZC or placebo for 6 months. The primary endpoint was optimal treatment response (normokalemia on spironolactone ≥25 mg/daily without rescue therapy for hyperkalemia [months 1–6]). The five key secondary endpoints were tested hierarchically. Exploratory endpoints included a composite of adjudicated cardiovascular death or worsening HF events (hospitalizations and urgent visits).<h3>Results</h3>Overall, 203 participants were randomized (SZC 102, placebo 101). Higher percentage of SZC- versus placebo-treated participants had optimal response (71% vs 36%; OR 4.45 [95% CI 2.89–6.86]; p<0.001). SZC (versus placebo) improved the first four key secondary endpoints: normokalemia on randomization dose of spironolactone and without rescue therapy (58% vs 23%; OR 4.58 [2.78–7.55]; p<0.001), receiving spironolactone ≥25 mg/daily (81% vs 50%; OR 4.33 [2.50–7.52]; p<0.001), time to hyperkalemia (HR 0.51 [0.37–0.71]; p<0.001), time to decrease/discontinuation of spironolactone due to hyperkalemia (HR 0.37 [0.17–0.73]; p=0.006). There was no between-group difference in KCCQ-CSS at 6 months (-1.01 points [-6.64–4.63]; p=0.72). Adverse events (64% vs 63%) and serious adverse events (23% vs 22%) were balanced between SZC and placebo, respectively. Composite of CV death or worsening HF occurred in 11 (11%) participants in the SZC group (1 with CV death, 10 with HF events) and 3 (3%) participants in the placebo group (1 with CV death, 2 with HF events; log-rank nominal p=0.034).<h3>Conclusions</h3>In participants with HFrEF and hyperkalemia, SZC led to large improvements in the percentage of participants with normokalemia while on optimal spironolactone dose, and reduced risk of hyperkalaemia and down-titration/discontinuation of spironolactone.Although underpowered for clinical outcomes, more participants had HF events with SZC than placebo, which should be factored into the clinical decision making.","PeriodicalId":17187,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American College of Cardiology","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":24.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142665353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
