    Abstract: Heart failure (HF) is a known risk factor for ischemic stroke, but data regarding ischemic stroke during hospitalization for acute decompensated HF (ADHF) are limited. Methods and Results We analyzed the data from a multicenter registry (Kyoto Congestive Heart Failure [KCHF] Registry) that enrolled 4056 consecutive patients with ADHF in Japan (mean age, 78 years; men, 2238 patients [55%] ; acute coronary syndrome [ACS], 239 patients [5.9%] ). We investigated the incidence and predictors of ischemic stroke during hospitalization for ADHF. During the hospitalization, 63 patients (1.6%) developed ischemic stroke. The median interval from admission to the onset of ischemic stroke was 7 [interquartile range: 2–14] days, and the most common underlying cause was cardioembolism (64%). Men (OR, 1.87; 95%CI, 1.11–3.24), ACS (OR, 2.31; 95%CI, 1.01–4.93), absence of prior HF hospitalization (OR, 2.21; 95%CI, 1.24–4.21), and high B‐type natriuretic peptide (BNP)/N‐terminal proBNP (NT‐proBNP) levels (above the median) at admission (OR, 3.15; 95%CI, 1.84–5.60) were independently associated with ischemic stroke. In patients without ACS, the independent risk factors for ischemic stroke were fully consistent with those in the main analysis. Higher quartiles of BNP/NT‐proBNP levels were significantly associated with higher incidence of ischemic stroke ( P for trend, 〈 0.001). Patients with ischemic stroke showed higher in‐hospital mortality, longer length of hospital stay, and poorer functional status at discharge. Conclusions During hospitalization for ADHF, 1.6% of the patients developed ischemic stroke. Men, ACS, absence of prior HF hospitalization, and high BNP/NT‐proBNP levels at admission were independently associated with ischemic stroke.

    Abstract: There was no previous report on the prognostic impact of new-onset or improved anemia after discharge from acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). We analyzed 771 patients with ADHF and who were followed in multicenters in Japan was divided into 4 groups based on the hemoglobin values at discharge and 6-month index visit: 373 patients (48.4%) with persistent anemia, 87 patients (11.3%) with new-onset anemia, 91 patients (11.8%) with improved anemia, and 220 patients (28.5%) without anemia. The primary outcome measure was a composite of all-cause death or HF hospitalization after index visit. The cumulative 6-month incidences of the primary outcome measure were 25.2% for persistent anemia, 18.5% for new onset anemia, 9.0% for improved anemia, and 9.2% for no anemia (log-rank P   〈  .001). Compared with the no anemia group, the excess risk for the primary outcome measure remained significant in the persistent anemia group [hazard ratio (HR) 2.70, 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 1.45–5.44, P  = .001] and in the new-onset anemia group (HR 2.73, 95% CI 1.19–6.25, P  = .02), while it was not significant in the improved anemia group (HR 1.69, 95% CI 0.68–4.03, P  = .25). Persistent and new-onset anemia at 6-month visit were associated with a subsequent higher risk for all-cause death or HF hospitalization in patients with ADHF, suggesting the importance of detecting anemia during follow-up.

    Abstract: Background: The prognostic implications of very low body mass index (BMI) values remain unclear in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). This study aimed to investigate the prognostic impact of BMI classification based on the World Health Organization criteria in patients with ADHF. Methods and Results: Using data from 4056 consecutive patients with ADHF hospitalized in 19 participating hospitals in Japan between October 2014 and March 2016, we analyzed 3509 patients with available BMI data at discharge. The patients were divided into five groups; (1) Severely underweight: BMI 〈 16 kg/m 2 , (2) Underweight: BMI≥16 kg/m 2 and 〈 18.5 kg/m 2 , (3) Normal weight: BMI≥18.5 kg/m 2 and 〈 25 kg/m 2 , (4) Overweight: BMI≥25 kg/m 2 and 〈 30 kg/m 2 (5) Obese: BMI≥30 kg/m 2 . The primary outcome measure was all-cause death. The median follow-up duration was 471 days, with 96.4% follow up at 1-year. The cumulative 1-year incidence of all-cause death was higher in underweight groups, and lower in overweight groups (Severely underweight: 36.3%, Underweight: 23.9%, Normal weight: 14.4%, Overweight: 7.9%, and Obese: 9.0%, P 〈 0.001). After adjusting confounders, the excess mortality risk remained significant in the severely underweight group (HR, 2.38; 95%CI, 1.88-3.02; P 〈 0.001), and in the underweight group (HR, 1.33; 95%CI, 1.10-1.62; P=0.003) relative to the normal weight group, while the lower mortality risk was no longer significant in the overweight group (HR, 0.76; 95%CI, 0.57-1.01; P=0.06), and in the obese group (HR, 0.89; 95%CI, 0.53-1.50; P=0.66). Conclusions: Lower BMI, not obesity, was associated with a higher risk for all-cause death after discharge in patients with ADHF.

    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: 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.

    Abstract: The prognostic implication of weight loss after discharge from acute heart failure (AHF) remains unclear. We sought to investigate the association of weight loss between discharge and 6-month visit with subsequent clinical outcomes in patients with AHF. Methods We analyzed 686 patients with AHF in the prospective longitudinal follow-up study derived from the Kyoto Congestive Heart Failure registry, and divided them into 2 groups based on the weight loss at 6-month index visit. We defined the weight loss as ≥ 5% decrease in body weight from discharge to 6-month index visit. Results There were 90 patients (13.1%) with a weight loss at 6-month visit. Patients in the weight loss group compared with those in the no weight loss group had higher body weight at discharge and lower body weight at 6-mont visit. Patients in the weight loss group had a lower systolic blood pressure, higher brain-type natriuretic peptide, lower serum albumin, lower hemoglobin, higher prevalence of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction at 6-month visit, and a lower prescription rate of inhibitors of renin-angiotensin system than those in the no weight loss group. The cumulative 6-month incidence of all-cause death was significantly higher in the weight loss group than in the no weight loss group (14.2% and 4.3%, log-rank P 〈 0.001). The excess adjusted risk of the weight loss group relative to the no weight loss group remained significant for all-cause death (HR 2.39, 95%CI 1.01–5.65, P = 0.048). Conclusion Body weight loss of ≥5% at 6-month visit after discharge was associated with subsequent all-cause death in patients with AHF.
