Registry Of Best Up-titration STrategies in Acute Heart Failure

Registry Of Best Up-titration STrategies in Acute Heart Failure (ROBUST-HF): a Registry of Post-acute Heart Failure Management

Brief summary (registry, in English)

STRONG-HF showed that rapid up-titration of renin-angiotensin inhibitor (RASI), beta-blocker, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) to full optimal doses within 2 weeks post-discharge from a hospital admission for acute heart failure (AHF), using frequent safety assessments, significantly reduced the 180-day risk of HF readmission or death and significantly increased 90-day quality of life regardless of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Recent evidence also suggests that initiation of angiotensin-receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) and SGLT-2 inhibitors close to the time of discharge regardless of LVEF, and iron supplementation where indicated, improve patient prognosis. In this prospective registry of patients not treated with optimal doses of oral HF medications being discharged from an admission for AHF, ROBUST-HF, data will be collected describing their post-discharge care including the management of their oral HF medications and frequency and content of post-discharge assessments and clinical outcomes through 6 months post discharge.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Myocardial infarction, unstable angina or cardiac surgery, or percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention (PTCI), within 1 month prior to enrolment.
  • Presence at enrolment of any severe valvular stenosis or regurgitation in need of surgical correction.

Other illness

  • Currently enrolled in a clinical study that mandates a schedule of follow-up visits for heart failure, or particular assessments or treatment for heart failure.

Lab values

  • Last measurement during the hospital admission prior to enrollment of eGFR \< 30 mL/min/1.73m2 or history of dialysis.

Age

  • Age \< 18

Who the study is looking for

  • Admitted to the hospital for acute heart failure (diagnosed by dyspnea at rest and pulmonary congestion on chest X-ray or lung ultrasound) more than 72 hours prior to enrolment.
  • All measures within 24 hours prior to enrolment of systolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg, and of heart rate ≥ 60 bpm.
  • The last measurement during the hospital admission prior to enrolment of serum potassium ≤ 5.0 mEq/L (mmol/L).
  • The last measuremet during the hospital admission prior to enrolment of NT-proBNP \> 1,500 pg/mL
  • At admission and at the time of enrolment being prescribed: (1) none to \< ½ the optimal dose (per the protocol) of renin angiotensin system inhibitor (RASi) - angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi), angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), or angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), AND (2) none to \< ½ the optimal dose of beta-blocker (BB), AND (3) none to ≤ ½ the optimal dose of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA).
  • Written informed consent to participate in the study.
