Differences in presentation, diagnosis and management of heart failure in women. A scientific statement of the Heart Failure Association of the ESC. Eur J Heart Fail 2024. [PMID: 38783694 DOI: 10.1002/ejhf.3284] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Despite the progress in the care of individuals with heart failure (HF), important sex disparities in knowledge and management remain, covering all the aspects of the syndrome, from aetiology and pathophysiology to treatment. Important distinctions in phenotypic presentation are widely known, but the mechanisms behind these differences are only partially defined. The impact of sex-specific conditions in the predisposition to HF has gained progressive interest in the HF community. Under-recruitment of women in large randomized clinical trials has continued in the more recent studies despite epidemiological data no longer reporting any substantial difference in the lifetime risk and prognosis between sexes. Target dose of medications and criteria for device eligibility are derived from studies with a large predominance of men, whereas specific information in women is lacking. The present scientific statement encompasses the whole scenario of available evidence on sex-disparities in HF and aims to define the most challenging and urgent residual gaps in the evidence for the scientific and clinical HF communities.

Abstract
Despite remarkable improvements in the past two decades, the annual cardiovascular mortality rate has remained higher for women than for men. Pregnant women represent an underinvestigated population in clinical research, and the mechanisms of long-term cardiovascular complications in women with obstetric complications remain to be elucidated. Regarding advanced heart failure during pregnancy, interventional approaches are effective but still underutilised. Percutaneous mechanical circulatory support is a valuable option for peripartum cardiogenic shock, although its use during pregnancy is still limited. Survival rates have improved in recent years, but further emphasis on the importance of early recognition and initiation of heart failure treatment in this patient group is warranted. The aims of this review are to summarise the current literature on the implementation of mechanical circulatory support in cardiogenic shock during pregnancy and delivery and to understand the role of percutaneous ventricular assist devices in the management of such conditions.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a complex clinical syndrome with a high mortality rate. It can occur to due to multiple etiologies of cardiovascular disease and is phenotypically heterogeneous. Acute myocardial infarction-related CS (AMI-CS) has historically been the most prevalent cause, and thus, research and guidance have focused primarily on this. Recent data suggest that the burden of non-ischemic CS is increasing in the population of patents requiring intensive care admission. There is, however, a paucity of data and guidelines to inform the management of these patients who fall into two broad groups: those with existing heart failure and CS and those with no known history of heart failure who present with "de novo" CS. The use of temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) has expanded across all etiologies, despite its high cost, resource intensity, complication rates, and lack of high-quality outcome data. Herein, we discuss the currently available evidence on the role of MCS in the management of patients with de novo CS to include fulminant myocarditis, right ventricular (RV) failure, Takotsubo syndrome, post-partum cardiomyopathy, and CS due to valve lesions and other cardiomyopathies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly used in patients with severe cardiorespiratory collapse. Although prior large database reviews of ECMO use in the peripartum population exist, they do not stratify by ECMO indication nor do they include obstetric conditions such as preeclampsia. Our objective was to characterize the incidence, indication-associated mortality, and factors associated with mortality in pregnant patients who underwent ECMO. METHODS We examined the United States National Inpatient Sample database to identify hospitalizations for pregnancy from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2016. We identified pregnant patients who underwent ECMO using International Classification of Diseases ninth and tenth revisions codes. The primary outcome was in-hospital all-cause mortality across pregnant patients who underwent ECMO for any indication. We evaluated the indication for ECMO, incidence, prevalence of risk factors, comorbidities and conditions, and their association with in-hospital mortality. RESULTS Fifty-nine of 5'346,517 pregnant patients underwent ECMO during our study period (incidence, 1.1; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.84-1.4 per 100,000 hospitalizations). Indications for ECMO support included respiratory failure (79.7%), cardiogenic shock (64.4%), or circulatory arrest (25.4%). Most patients (57.6%) had more than 1 indication. The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 30.5%. Mortality was 29.8% in patients with respiratory failure, 39.5% with cardiogenic shock, 46.7% with cardiac arrest, and 42.4% in those with combined diagnoses. Cardiogenic shock was associated with a significantly higher mortality rate and adjusted odds ratio 5.0 (95% CI, 1.25-27.0). Most patients (62.7%) had one or more comorbidities. CONCLUSIONS The frequency of ECMO use across the pregnant population was low over this time period, with a mortality rate of 1 in 3 patients. Mortality was greatest in patients with cardiogenic shock. Further work is needed to understand how best to improve ECMO outcomes in pregnant patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is an invasive and resource-intensive therapy used to care for patients with refractory cardiac arrest. In this review, we highlight considerations for the establishment of an ECPR system of care for patients suffering refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). RECENT FINDINGS ECPR has been shown to improve neurologically favorable outcomes in patients with refractory cardiac arrest in numerous studies, including a single randomized control trial. Successful ECPR programs are typically part of a comprehensive system of care that optimizes all phases of OHCA management. Given the resource-intensive and time-sensitive nature of ECPR, patient selection criteria, timing of ECPR, and location must be well defined. Many knowledge gaps remain within ECPR systems of care, postcardiac arrest management, and neuroprognostication strategies for ECPR patients. SUMMARY To be consistently successful, ECPR must be a part of a comprehensive OHCA system of care that optimizes all phases of cardiac arrest management. Future investigation is needed for the knowledge gaps that remain.

Amniotic fluid embolism rescued by venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Crit Care 2022; 26:96.

Abstract
Background Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a rare but often catastrophic complication of pregnancy that leads to cardiopulmonary dysfunction and severe disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC). Although few case reports have reported successful use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) with AFE, concerns can be raised about the increased bleeding risks with that device.
Methods This study included patients with AFE rescued by VA-ECMO hospitalized in two high ECMO volume centers between August 2008 and February 2021. Clinical characteristics, critical care management, in-intensive care unit (ICU) complications, and hospital outcomes were collected. ICU survivors were assessed for health-related quality of life (HRQL) in May 2021. Results During that 13-year study period, VA-ECMO was initiated in 54 parturient women in two high ECMO volume centers. Among that population, 10 patients with AFE [median (range) age 33 (24–40), SAPS II at 69 (56–81)] who fulfilled our diagnosis criteria were treated with VA-ECMO. Pregnancy evolved for 36 (30–41) weeks. Seven patients had a cardiac arrest before ECMO and two were cannulated under cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Pre-ECMO hemodynamic was severely impaired with an inotrope score at 370 (55–1530) μg/kg/min, a severe left ventricular ejection fraction measured at 14 (0–40)%, and lactate at 12 (2–30) mmol/L. 70% of these patients were alive at hospital discharge despite an extreme pre-ECMO severity and massive blood product transfusion. However, HRQL was lower than age-matched controls and still profoundly impaired in the role-physical, bodily pain, and general health components after a median of 44 months follow-up. Conclusion In this rare per-delivery complication, our results support the use of VA-ECMO despite intense DIC and ongoing bleeding. Future studies should focus on customized, patient-centered, rehabilitation programs that could lead to improved HRQL in this population.

Abstract
Background: The aim of study was to summarize the clinical characteristics and experience of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in pregnant and postpartum patients. Methods and Results: We retrospectively reviewed 131 consecutive ECMO patients at our center from May 2015 to May 2021. A total of 10 Chinese patients were pregnant or postpartum at the time of ECMO initiation. Patients ranged in age from 25 to 36 years (median age 30.5 years). The ECMO duration ranged from 3 to 31 days (median duration 8 days). There was a stabilizing trend of acid-base balance and decreasing lactic acid over the 3 days following ECMO initiation. Seven (70%) patients survived at least 48 h after weaning from ECMO. Four (40%) patients survived until discharge, and four (40%) fetuses survived until discharge. Conclusion: ECMO provides a suitable temporary cardiopulmonary support for pregnant and postpartum patients. ECMO shows a favorable effect on short-term stability in critical obstetric patients.

Abstract
Aims Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a pregnancy‐associated cardiomyopathy that occurs in previously heart‐healthy women towards the end of pregnancy or in the first months after delivery and is characterized by heart failure due to systolic dysfunction. The clinical course of PPCM differs between mild symptoms and severe forms with acute heart failure complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS). Treatment of CS complicating PPCM is challenging, as β‐adrenergic receptor (β‐AR) stimulation seems to be associated with progression of heart failure and adverse outcome. This experimental study aims to examine whether postpartum treatment with the glucose uptake‐promoting drug perhexiline alone or as co‐treatment with β‐AR stimulation prevents heart failure in the experimental PPCM mouse model. Methods and results Postpartum (PP) female PPCM‐prone mice with a cardiomyocyte‐restricted STAT3‐deficiency (αMHC‐Cretg/+;Stat3fl/fl; CKO) were treated with perhexiline over two to three pregnancies and nursing periods (2/3PP) or were co‐treated with perhexiline after one pregnancy (1PP) under chronic β‐AR stimulation using isoproterenol (Iso) infusion. Perhexiline was not able to prevent onset of PPCM in CKO mice (FS: CKO Pexsig‐2/3PP: 25 ± 12% vs. CKO Ctrl‐2/3PP: 24 ± 9%, n.s.) but attenuated worsening of left ventricular function in response to treatment with the β‐AR agonist Iso (FS: CKO Pexsig‐Iso‐1PP: 19 ± 4% vs. CKO Ctrl‐Iso‐1PP: 11 ± 5%, P < 0.05). Conclusions Treatment of PPCM patients with β‐AR agonists should be avoided whenever possible. In cases with CS complicating PPCM, when treatment with β‐AR agonists cannot be prevented, co‐medication with perhexiline might help to reduce the cardiotoxic side effects of β‐AR stimulation. Clinical data are necessary to further validate this therapeutic approach.

Use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in postpartum patients with refractory shock or respiratory failure. Sci Rep 2021; 11:887. [PMID: 33441897 PMCID: PMC7806987 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-80423-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2020] [Accepted: 12/14/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Although extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly utilized, only a limited level of experience has been reported in postpartum cardiopulmonary failure. Ten critically ill postpartum patients who received ECMO were included between January 2010 and December 2018 in this retrospective observational study. The main indication for ECMO support was peripartum cardiomyopathy (n = 5), followed by postpartum hemorrhage (n = 2). Nine patients initially received veno-arterial ECMO, and one patient received veno-venous ECMO. Major bleeding occurred in six patients. The median number of units of red blood cells (RBC) transfused during ECMO was 14.5 units (interquartile range 6.8–37.8 units), and most RBC transfusions occurred on the first day of ECMO. The survival-to-discharge rate was 80%. Compared to the survival outcomes in female patients of similar age who received ECMO, the survival outcomes were significantly better in the study population (56% versus 80%, P = 0.0004). Despite the high risk of major bleeding, ECMO for patients with postpartum cardiac or respiratory failure showed excellent survival outcomes. ECMO is feasible in these patients and can be carried out with good outcomes in an experienced centre.
