Novel Therapeutic Devices in Heart Failure.

ABSTRACT: Heart failure (HF) constitutes a significant clinical problem and is associated with a sizeable burden for the healthcare system. Numerous novel techniques, including device interventions, are investigated to improve clinical outcome. A review of the most notable currently studied devices targeting pathophysiological processes in HF was performed. Interventions regarding autonomic nervous system imbalance, i.e., baroreflex activation therapy; vagus, splanchnic and cardiopulmonary nerves modulation; respiratory disturbances, i.e., phrenic nerve stimulation and synchronized diaphragmatic therapy; decongestion management, i.e., the Reprieve system, transcatheter renal venous decongestion system, Doraya, preCardia, WhiteSwell and Aquapass, are presented. Each segment is divided into subsections: potential pathophysiological target, existing evidence and weaknesses or unexplained issues. Novel therapeutic devices represent great potential in HF therapy management; however, further evidence is necessary to fully evaluate their utility.

Project description:Background and objectiveHeart failure (HF) is a global public health problem with high morbidity, readmission, and mortality rates. The central mediators of cardiomyocyte survival and death are mitochondria. Mitochondria are a key therapeutic target for HF and are closely involved in the pathophysiological process of HF. A recent study proposes that cuproptosis, a novel cell death mechanism, is closely related to mitochondrial respiration. Therefore, this study aims to explore the link between cuproptosis and HF, and to find novel therapeutic targets and treatments for HF.MethodsA literature search (up to April 2022) was conducted through PubMed database, and the search range was limited to publications in English. After further literature search and screening, we found that we are currently the first study to explore the association between HF and cuproptosis.Key content and findingsResearch has found that mitochondria are a key therapeutic target in HF and are involved in the pathophysiological processes of energy metabolism, oxidative stress, calcium regulation, and cell death in HF. The micronutrient copper is involved in regulating mitochondrial biological processes, and high serum copper levels are significantly associated with HF. Copper overload affects mitochondrial function and exacerbates the development of HF. And cuproptosis induced by copper overload targeting lipoylated tricarboxylic acid cycle proteins, is closely related to mitochondrial respiration. Copper chelators not only treat HF but also partially rescue copper-mediated cell death. Copper binding to lipoylated components may be the reason for the hyperacetylation of mitochondrial proteins in HF. Ferredoxin 1 (FDX1) may be an upstream regulator of protein lipoylation and is closely related to cuproptosis.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates the important roles of mitochondria and micronutrient copper in HF. Cuproptosis may be involved in the pathophysiological process of HF and is responsible for the hyperacetylation of mitochondrial proteins in HF. Cuproptosis has the potential to be a novel therapeutic mechanism for HF, and FDX1 may be a key target for cuproptosis-based treatment of HF. This study provides a new research direction for the treatment of HF and new ideas for the development of new drugs.

Project description:AimsDespite previous surveys regarding device implantation rates in heart failure (HF), insight into the real-world management with devices is scarce. Therefore, we investigated device implantation rates in HF with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in 34 Dutch centres.Methods and resultsA cross-sectional outpatient registry was conducted in 6666 patients with LVEF < 50% and with information about device implantation available [74 (66-81) years of age; 64% male]. Patients were classified into conventional pacemakers (PM, n = 562), implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD, n = 1165), and cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator function (CRT-D, n = 885) or pacemaker function only (CRT-P, n = 248), or no device (n = 3806). Centres were divided into ICD-implanting and CRT-implanting and referral centres. Overall, 17.5% had an ICD, 13.3% CRT-D, 3.7% CRT-P, and 8.4% PM. Of those with LVEF ≤ 30%, 42.5% had ICD or CRT-D therapy. A large variation in implantation rates existed between centres: 3-51% for ICD therapy, 0.3-44% for CRT-D therapy, 0-11% for CRT-P therapy, and 0-25% PM therapy. Implantation centres showed higher implantation rates of ICD, CRT-D, and CRT-P compared with referral centres [36% vs. 25% for defibrillators (ICD or CRT-D) and 17% vs. 9% for CRT devices (CRT-D or CRT-P), respectively, P < 0.001], independently of other factors. A large number of clinical factors were predictive for device usage. Among other, LVEF < 40% and male sex were independent positive predictors for ICD/CRT-D use [odds ratio (OR) = 3.33, P < 0.001; OR = 1.87, P = 0.019, respectively]. Older age was independently associated with less ICD/CRT-D (OR = 0.96 per year, P < 0.001) and more CRT-P/PM use (OR = 1.03 per year, P = 0.006).ConclusionsIn this large Dutch HF registry, less than half of the patients with reduced LVEF received an ICD or CRT, even if LVEF was ≤30%, and a large variation between centres existed. Patients from implantation centres had more often ICD or CRT. More uniformity regarding guideline-based use of device therapy in clinical practice is needed.
