Ventricular Filling

The additional role of continuous monitoring of filling pressures and impedance in heart failure patients with chronic kidney disease remains undetermined. In this case report, the effects of diuretic therapy and renal replacement therapy by hemodialysis upon right ventricular filling pressures and impedance are described in a patient with end-stage heart failure and end-stage chronic kidney disease (grade 5). We demonstrated that unloading of the heart by hemodialysis partly restored the blunted Frank-Starling relationship.

Background: Dapagliflozin reduces the risk of end-stage renal disease in patients with chronic kidney disease. We examined the relative risk of cardiovascular and kidney events in these patients and the effect of dapagliflozin on either type of event, taking account of history of cardiovascular disease. Methods: In the DAPA-CKD trial (Dapagliflozin And Prevention of Adverse Outcomes in Chronic Kidney Disease), 4304 participants with chronic kidney disease were randomized to dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily or placebo. The primary endpoint was a composite of sustained decline in estimated GFR ≥50%, end-stage kidney disease, or kidney or cardiovascular death. The secondary endpoints were a kidney composite outcome (primary endpoint, minus cardiovascular death), the composite of hospitalization for heart failure or cardiovascular death and all-cause death. In a prespecified subgroup analysis, we divided patients into primary and secondary prevention subgroups according to history of cardiovascular disease. Results: Secondary prevention patients (n=1610; 37.4%) were older, more often male, had a higher blood pressure and body-mass index, and were more likely to have diabetes. Mean estimated glomerular filtration rate and median urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio was similar in the primary and secondary prevention groups. The rates of adverse cardiovascular outcomes were higher in the secondary prevention group, but kidney failure occurred at the same rate in the primary and secondary prevention groups. Dapagliflozin reduced the risk of the primary composite outcome to a similar extent in both the primary (HR, 0.61 [95% CI, 0.48-0.78]) and secondary (0.61, 0.47-0.79) prevention groups (P-interaction=0.90). This was also true for the composite of heart failure hospitalization or cardiovascular death (0.67, 0.40-1.13 versus 0.70, 0.52-0.94, respectively, P-interaction=0.88), and all-cause (0.63, 0.41-0.98 versus 0.70, 0.51-0.95, respectively, P-interaction=0.71). Rates of adverse events were low overall and did not differ between patients with and without cardiovascular disease. Conclusions: Dapagliflozin reduced the risk of kidney failure, death from cardiovascular causes or hospitalization for heart failure, and prolonged survival, in people with chronic kidney disease, with or without type 2 diabetes, independently of the presence of concomitant cardiovascular disease Clinical Trial Registration: URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov Unique Identifier: NCT03036150

The development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a risk factor not only for cardiovascular diseases, but also for heart failure (HF). This article is a literary review on the use of Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (NGLT2) inhibitors in patients with CKD and HF. The paper describes in detail the action of NGLT2 inhibitors in the light of nephro- and cardioprotection. In addition to the glucosuric effect of NGLT2 inhibitors, they have a natriuretic and diuretic effect. One of the effects of NGLT2 inhibitors is the ability to lower blood pressure. One of the key effects of NGLT2 inhibitors, explaining nephroprotection, is the influence on glomerular filtration. The ability of NGLT2 inhibitors to suppress the peroxidation in mitochondria of proximal tubular epithelium was shown. Another putative mechanism of the organ protection action of NGLT2 inhibitors is their ability to inhibit the activation of the sympathetic nervous system.The results of studies using empagliflozin in HF and CKD are presented. In particular, the EMPA-REG OUTCOME study showed that in patients with type 2 diabetes and concomitant cardiovascular diseases, empagliflozin led to a 35% decrease in hospitalization risk due to decompensated HF and decrease of cardiovascular death risk by 38% regardless of baseline renal function. According to the EMPEROR-Reduced study, empagliflozin showed a favorable safety profile.

The issues of diuretic therapy in patients with chronic kidney disease, pharmacokinetics of diuretics, the problem of diuretic resistance, the tactics of using thiazides and loop diuretics in patients with various stages of chronic kidney disease, according to the recommendations of the National Kidney Foundation Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative are discussed in the article. Particular attention is paid to the prescription of this group of drugs to patients with end stage renal disease, as well as those undergoing renal replacement therapy (hemodialysis).Diuretics play an important role in the management of patients with chronic kidney disease with the development of hypertension and an increased extracellular fluid volume. In case of impaired renal function leading place is given to loop diuretics. Their combination with thiazide diuretics can increase the diuretic effect. The results of clinical trials assessing the effectiveness of the use of diuretics during decline of residual renal function are provided. It is reported about the effect of potassium-sparing diuretics on the incidence of cardiovascular complications, the development of hyperkalemia in patients undergoing dialysis treatment. The importance of continuation of intensive study about the possibility of antagonists of mineralocorticoid receptors usage, in particular the spironolactone, eplerenone, and finerenone in order to reduce cardiovascular complications and mortality, is indicated.

New Strategy

Abstract Heart failure (HF) is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Decreased glomerular filtration rate is associated with diffuse deposition of fibrotic tissue in the myocardial interstitium [i.e. myocardial interstitial fibrosis (MIF)] and loss of cardiac function. MIF results from cardiac fibroblast-mediated alterations in the turnover of fibrillary collagen that lead to the excessive synthesis and deposition of collagen fibres. The accumulation of stiff fibrotic tissue alters the mechanical properties of the myocardium, thus contributing to the development of HF. Accumulating evidence suggests that several mechanisms are operative along the different stages of CKD that may converge to alter fibroblasts and collagen turnover in the heart. Therefore, focusing on MIF might enable the identification of fibrosis-related biomarkers and targets that could potentially lead to a new strategy for the prevention and treatment of HF in patients with CKD. This article summarizes current knowledge on the mechanisms and detrimental consequences of MIF in CKD and discusses the validity and usefulness of available biomarkers to recognize the clinical–pathological variability of MIF and track its clinical evolution in CKD patients. Finally, the currently available and potential future therapeutic strategies aimed at personalizing prevention and reversal of MIF in CKD patients, especially those with HF, will be also discussed.

Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and its enantiomer, Symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), are naturally occurring amino acids that were first isolated and characterized in human urine in 1970. ADMA is the most potent endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), with higher levels in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). ADMA has shown to be a significant predictor of cardiovascular outcome and mortality among dialysis patients. On the other hand, although initially SDMA was thought to be an innocuous molecule, we now know that it is an outstanding marker of renal function both in human and in animal models, with ESRD patients on dialysis showing the highest SDMA levels. Today, we know that ADMA and SDMA are not only uremic toxins but also independent risk markers for mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD). In this review, we summarize the role of both ADMA and SDMA in chronic kidney disease along with other cardiovascular risk factors.
