    Abstract: It remains unclear whether beta‐blocker use at hospital admission is associated with better in‐hospital outcomes in patients with acute decompensated heart failure. Methods and Results We evaluated the factors independently associated with beta‐blocker use at admission, and the effect of beta‐blocker use at admission on in‐hospital mortality in 3817 patients with acute decompensated heart failure enrolled in the Kyoto Congestive Heart Failure registry. There were 1512 patients (39.7%) receiving, and 2305 patients (60.3%) not receiving beta‐blockers at admission for the index acute decompensated heart failure hospitalization. Factors independently associated with beta‐blocker use at admission were previous heart failure hospitalization, history of myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, cardiomyopathy, and estimated glomerular filtration rate 〈 30 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 . Factors independently associated with no beta‐blocker use were asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lower body mass index, dementia, older age, and left ventricular ejection fraction 〈 40%. Patients on beta‐blockers had significantly lower in‐hospital mortality rates (4.4% versus 7.6%, P 〈 0.001). Even after adjusting for confounders, beta‐blocker use at admission remained significantly associated with lower in‐hospital mortality risk (odds ratio, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.27–0.60, P 〈 0.001). Furthermore, beta‐blocker use at admission was significantly associated with both lower cardiovascular mortality risk and lower noncardiovascular mortality risk. The association of beta‐blocker use with lower in‐hospital mortality risk was relatively more prominent in patients receiving high dose beta‐blockers. The magnitude of the effect of beta‐blocker use was greater in patients with previous heart failure hospitalization than in patients without ( P for interaction 0.04). Conclusions Beta‐blocker use at admission was associated with lower in‐hospital mortality in patients with acute decompensated heart failure.

    Abstract: Insomnia is a known risk factor for heart failure (HF) and a predictor of cardiac events in HF patients, but the clinical significance of insomnia in patients with acute HF (AHF) is not adequately evaluated. This study aimed to investigate the association between insomnia and subsequent clinical outcomes in patients with AHF. Methods From the Kyoto Congestive Heart Failure registry, consecutive 3414 patients hospitalized for HF who were discharged alive were divided into the 2 groups at discharge: insomnia group and non‐insomnia group. We compared baseline characteristics and 1 year clinical outcomes according to the presence of insomnia. The primary outcome measure was all‐cause death. Results There were 330 patients (9.7%) and 3084 patients (90.3%) with and without insomnia, respectively. In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, brain‐type natriuretic peptide above median value at discharge (OR = 1.50, 95% CI = 1.08–2.10, P  = 0.02) and the presence of oedema at discharge (OR = 4.23, 95% CI = 2.95–6.07, P   〈  0.001) were positively associated with insomnia at discharge, whereas diuretics at discharge (OR = 0.60, 95% CI = 0.39–0.90, P  = 0.01) were negatively associated with insomnia at discharge. The cumulative 1 year incidence of all‐cause death was significantly higher in the insomnia group than in the non‐insomnia group (25.1% vs. 16.2%, P   〈  0.001). Even after adjusting the confounders, the higher mortality risk of patients with insomnia relative to those without insomnia remained significant (HR = 1.55, 95% CI = 1.24–1.94; P   〈  0.001). Conclusions Patients with insomnia at discharge were associated with a higher risk of mortality than those without insomnia at discharge.

    Abstract: Little is known about the association between the starting of or dose changes in loop diuretics during acute heart failure (AHF) hospitalization and post‐discharge outcomes. We investigated the clinical impact of starting loop diuretics and changing the loop diuretics dose during hospitalization on post‐discharge outcomes. Methods and results From the Kyoto Congestive Heart Failure registry, 3665 consecutive patients hospitalized for HF and discharged alive were included in this study. We analysed 1906 patients without loop diuretics on admission and were discharged alive and 1759 patients who received loop diuretics on admission and were discharged alive. The primary outcome measure was all‐cause death. Of the 1906 patients without loop diuretics on admission, 1366 (71.7%) patients started loop diuretics during the index AHF hospitalization. Starting loop diuretics was not associated with lower post‐discharge mortality [adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 0.92, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.68–1.25]. Of the 1759 patients who received loop diuretics on admission, loop diuretic dose was decreased in 23.8%, unchanged in 44.6%, and increased in 31.6% of the patients. Changes in the dose at discharge compared with no change in dose were not associated with lower risk of post‐discharge mortality (decrease relative to no change: adjusted HR 0.98, 95% CI 0.76–1.28; increase relative to no change: adjusted HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.78–1.27). Compared w ith no loop diuretics at discharge, a loop diuretics dose of ≥80 mg at discharge was associated with higher post‐discharge mortality risk. Conclusions In patients with AHF, we found no association between the starting of loop diuretics and post‐discharge outcomes and between dose changes and post‐discharge outcomes.

    Abstract: The use of tolvaptan is increasing in clinical practice in Japan. However, the characteristics of patients who used tolvaptan and the timing of its use in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) are not fully elucidated. Methods and results Among consecutive 4056 patients in the Kyoto Congestive Heart Failure registry, we analysed 3802 patients after excluding patients on dialysis, prior or unknown tolvaptan use at admission, and unknown timing of tolvaptan use, and we divided them into two groups: tolvaptan use ( N  = 773) and no tolvaptan use ( N  = 3029). The prevalence of tolvaptan use varied widely from 48.7% to 0% across the participating centres. Factors independently associated with tolvaptan use were diabetes, poor medical adherence, oedema, pleural effusion, hyponatraemia, estimated glomerular filtration rate  〈  30 mL/min/1.73 m 2 , moderate/severe tricuspid regurgitation, dobutamine infusion within 24 h, and additional inotropes infusion beyond 24 h after admission. The mortality rate at 90 days after admission was significantly higher in the tolvaptan use group than in the no tolvaptan use group (14.3% vs. 8.6%, P  = 0.049). However, after adjustment, the excess mortality risk of tolvaptan use relative to no tolvaptan use was no longer significant (hazard ratio = 1.53, 95% confidence interval = 0.77–3.02, P  = 0.22). Patients with tolvaptan use had a longer hospital stay [median (interquartile range): 22 (15–34) days vs. 15 (11–21) days, P   〈  0.0001] and a higher prevalence of worsening renal failure (47.0% vs. 31.8%, P   〈  0.0001) and worsening heart failure (24.8% vs. 14.4%, P   〈  0.0001) than those without. Conclusions AHF patients with tolvaptan use had more congestive status with poorer in‐hospital outcomes and higher short‐term mortality than those without tolvaptan use.

    Abstract: Little is known about the characteristics and outcomes of patients who undergo coronary angiography during heart failure (HF) hospitalization, as well as those with coronary stenosis, and those who underwent coronary revascularization. Methods and results We analysed 2163 patients who were hospitalized for HF without acute coronary syndrome or prior HF hospitalization. We compared patient characteristics and 1 year clinical outcomes according to (i) patients with versus without coronary angiography, (ii) patients with versus without coronary stenosis, and (iii) patients with versus without coronary revascularization. The primary outcome measure was the composite of all‐cause death or HF hospitalization. Coronary angiography was performed in 37.0% of patients. In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, factors independently associated with coronary angiography were age  〈  80 years [adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 1.76, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.41–2.20, P   〈  0.001], men (adjusted OR = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.03–1.59, P  = 0.02), diabetes (adjusted OR = 1.27, 95% CI = 1.02–1.60, P  = 0.04), no atrial fibrillation or flutter (adjusted OR = 1.45, 95% CI = 1.17–1.82, P   〈  0.001), no prior device implantation (adjusted OR = 1.81, 95% CI = 1.13–2.91, P  = 0.01), current smoking (adjusted OR = 1.40, 95% CI = 1.05–1.87, P  = 0.02), no cognitive dysfunction (adjusted OR = 1.90, 95% CI = 1.34–2.69, P   〈  0.001), ambulatory status (adjusted OR = 2.89, 95% CI = 2.03–4.10, P   〈  0.001), HF with reduced ejection fraction (adjusted OR = 1.55, 95% CI = 1.24–1.93, P   〈  0.001), estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m 2 (adjusted OR = 1.93, 95% CI = 1.45–2.58, P   〈  0.001), no anaemia (adjusted OR = 1.27, 95% CI = 1.02–1.59, P  = 0.04), and no prescription of β‐blockers prior to admission (adjusted OR = 1.32, 95% CI = 1.03–1.68, P  = 0.03). Patients who underwent coronary angiography had a lower risk of the primary outcome [adjusted hazard ratio (HR) = 0.70, 95% CI = 0.58–0.85, P   〈  0.001]. Among the patients who underwent coronary angiography, those with coronary stenosis (38.9%) did not have lower risk of the primary outcome measure than those without coronary stenosis (adjusted HR = 0.93, 95% CI = 0.65–1.32, P  = 0.68). Among the patients with coronary stenosis, those with coronary revascularization (54.3%) did not have higher risk of the primary outcome measure than those without coronary revascularization (adjusted HR = 1.36, 95% CI = 0.84–2.21, P  = 0.22). Conclusions In patients with acute HF, patients who underwent coronary angiography had a lower risk of clinical outcomes and were significantly different from those who did not undergo coronary angiography.

    Abstract: We aimed to investigate the relationship between left atrial (LA) reverse remodeling and prognosis of heart failure (HF) with recovered ejection fraction (EF) (HFrecEF). Among 1,246 patients with acute heart failure enrolled in the prospective longitudinal follow-up study, 397 patients with HF with mildly-reduced EF and with reduced EF at discharge were analyzed. Echocardiography was performed during the index hospitalization and at the 6-month follow-up after discharge. They were divided into non-HFrecEF (n = 227) and HFrecEF (n = 170) groups. The primary outcome measure was a composite of all-cause death or hospitalization for HF. The cumulative 180-day incidence of the primary outcome measure after follow-up echocardiography was significantly lower in the HFrecEF group than in the non-HFrecEF group (8.9% versus 23.4%, log-rank P = 0.0002). LA reverse remodeling was associated with a lower cumulative 6-month incidence of the primary outcome measure in the HFrecEF group (4.7% versus 18.0%; HR: 0.27, 95%CI: 0.09–0.79, P = 0.01), but not in the non-HFrecEF group (24.4% versus 22.6%; HR: 1.13, 95%CI: 0.65–1.96, P = 0.28) with a significant LA reverse remodeling-by-HFrecEF interaction (P for interaction = 0.02). Combination of left ventricular and atrial reverse remodeling may help in improving HF risk stratification.

    Abstract: The high controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score that represents poor nutritional status has been acknowledged to have prognostic implications in chronic heart failure. We aimed to investigate its role in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Using the data from an multicenter registry that enrolled 4056 consecutive patients hospitalized for ADHF in Japan between 2014 and 2016, we analyzed 2466 patients in whom data on the components of the CONUT score at hospital presentation were available. The decrease of lymphocyte count and total cholesterol was assigned with 0, 1, 2, and 3 points and the decrease of albumin was assigned with 0, 2, 4, and 6 points according to the severity. We defined low CONUT score as 0–4 (N = 1568) and high CONUT score as 5–9 (N = 898). The patients in the high CONUT score group were older and more likely to have a smaller body mass index than those in the low CONUT score group. The high CONUT score group was associated with higher rate of death and infection during the index hospitalization compared to the low CONUT score group (9.0% versus 4.4%, and 21.9% versus 12.7%, respectively). After adjusting for confounders, the excess risk of high relative to low CONUT score for mortality and infection was significant (OR: 1.61, 95%CI: 1.05–2.44, and OR: 1.66, 95%CI: 1.30–2.12, respectively). The effect was incremental according to the score. High CONUT score was associated with higher risk for in-hospital mortality and infection in an incremental manner in patients hospitalized for ADHF.

    Abstract: Current guidelines restrict the use of inotropes for the treatment for heart failure (HF) unless the patients are hypotensive or hypoperfused because of safety concerns. This study sought to characterise the contemporary real-world use of inotropes and associated long-term outcomes according to systolic blood pressure (sBP) and perfusion status. Design A multicentre prospective cohort study. Setting This study was nested from the Kyoto Congestive Heart Failure registry, which included consecutive Japanese patients admitted for HF. Participants We categorised 3995 patients into two groups: sBP ≥90 mm Hg and warm profile group, and sBP 〈 90 mm Hg or cold profile group. In each group, patients were stratified across the use of inotropes within 24 hours of hospital presentation. Primary and secondary outcomes The primary outcome was all-cause death throughout follow-up. Secondary outcomes included cardiovascular death throughout follow-up, all-cause death during index hospitalisation and after discharge, and HF hospitalisation. Results A total of 793 patients (20%) presented with sBP 〈 90 mm Hg or cold profile, whereas 3202 patients had sBP ≥90 mm Hg and warm profile; 276 patients (35%) in the sBP 〈 90 mm Hg/cold group and 312 patients (10%) in the sBP ≥90 mm Hg/warm group received initial inotropic treatment. Adjusted excess risk of inotrope use relative to no inotrope for the primary outcome measure was significant in the sBP ≥90 mm Hg/warm group (adjusted HR), 1.36; 95% CI 1.09 to 1.72, p=0.006) but not in the sBP 〈 90 mm Hg/cold group (adjusted HR, 1.28, 95% CI 0.96 to 1.69, p=0.09). Risk for postdischarge all-cause death and HF hospitalisation was not significantly different between the patients with inotropes and no inotropes in both groups. Conclusion Inotrope use in the absence of hypotension and hypoperfusion is still common, but associated with a worse long-term prognosis. Trial registration number UMIN000015238.

    Abstract: No clinical studies have focused on the factors associated with discharge destination in patients with acute decompensated heart failure. Methods and Results Of 4056 consecutive patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure in the KCHF (Kyoto Congestive Heart Failure) registry, we analyzed 3460 patients hospitalized from their homes and discharged alive. There were 3009 and 451 patients who were discharged to home and nonhome, respectively. We investigated the factors associated with nonhome discharge and compared the outcomes between home discharge and nonhome discharge. Factors independently and positively associated with nonhome discharge were age ≥80 years (odds ratio [OR],1.76; 95% CI,1.28–2.42), body mass index ≤22 kg/m 2 (OR,1.49; 95% CI,1.12–1.97), poor medication adherence (OR, 2.08; 95% CI,1.49–2.88), worsening heart failure (OR, 2.02; 95% CI, 1.46–2.82), stroke during hospitalization (OR, 3.74; 95% CI, 1.75–8.00), functional decline (OR, 12.24; 95% CI, 8.74–17.14), and length of hospital stay 〉 16 days (OR, 4.14; 95% CI, 3.01–5.69), while those negatively associated were diabetes mellitus (OR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.51–0.94), cohabitants (OR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.46–0.85), and ambulatory state before admission (OR, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.18–0.36). The cumulative 1‐year incidence of all‐cause death was significantly higher in the nonhome discharge group than in the home discharge group. The nonhome discharge group compared with the nonhome discharge group was associated with a higher adjusted risk for all‐cause death (hazard ratio, 1.66; P 〈 0.001). Conclusions The discharge destination of patients with acute decompensated heart failure is influenced by factors such as prehospital social background, age, body mass index, low self‐care ability, events during hospitalization (worsening heart failure, stroke, etc), functional decline, and length of hospital stay; moreover, the prognosis of nonhome discharge patients is worse than that of home discharge patients.
