    Snapshot evaluation of acute and chronic heart failure in real-life in Turkey: A follow-up data for mortality
    (2020) Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan; Aksakal, Emrah; Aksu, Ugur; Altay, Hakan; Nesligul, Yildirim; Celik, Ahmet; Akil, Mehmet Ata; Bekar, Lutfu; Vural, Mustafa Gokhan; Guvenc, Rengin Cetin; Ozer, Savas; Ural, Dilek; Cavusoglu, Yuksel; Tokgozoglu, Lale; 32120368; AAE-1392-2021
    Objective: Heart failure (HF) is a progressive clinical syndrome. SELFIE-TR is a registry illustrating the overall HF patient profile of Turkey. Herein, all-cause mortality (ACM) data during follow-up were provided. Methods: This is a prospective outcome analysis of SELFIE-TR. Patients were classified as acute HF (AHF) versus chronic HF (CHF) and HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), HF with mid-range ejection fraction, and HF with preserved ejection fraction and were followed up for ACM. Results: There were 1054 patients with a mean age of 63.3 +/- 13.3 years and with a median follow-up period of 16 (7-17) months. Survival data within 1 year were available in 1022 patients. Crude ACM was 19.9% for 1 year in the whole group. ACM within 1 year was 13.7% versus 32.6% in patients with CHF and AHF, respectively (p<0.001). Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker, beta blocker, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist were present in 70.6%, 88.2%, and 50.7%, respectively. In the whole cohort, survival curves were graded according to guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) scores <= 1 versus 2 versus 3 as 28% versus 20.2% versus 12.2%, respectively (p<0.001). Multivariate analysis of the whole cohort yielded age (p=0.009) and AHF (p=0.028) as independent predictors of mortality in 1 year. Conclusion: One-year mortality is high in Turkish patients with HF compared with contemporary cohorts with AHF and CHF. Of note, GDMT score is influential on 1-year mortality being the most striking one on chronic HFrEF. On the other hand, in the whole cohort, age and AHF were the only independent predictors of death in 1 year.

    Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors in heart failure therapy
    (2020) Cavusoglu, Yuksel; Altay, Hakan; Cahn, Avivit; Celik, Ahmet; Demir, Serafettin; Kilicaslan, Baris; Nalbantgil, Sanem; Raz, Itamar; Temizhan, Ahmet; Yildirimturk, Ozlem; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan; AAE-1392-2021; 32281958
    Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) are a new class of drugs for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) which inhibit urinary glucose reabsorption in the proximal tubule of the nephron and result in glucosuria, natriuresis and diuresis. In large, randomized clinical trials, SGLT-2i have been shown to reduce major cardiovascular (CV) events and heart failure (HF) hospitalizations in patients with T2DM who have atherosclerotic CV disease or CV risk factors. In these trials, SGLT-2i is have their greatest and most consistent effect on reducing the risk of HF hospitalization. The reduction in HF hospitalization was also observed in subgroups of patients with a HF diagnosis at baseline, which raised the possibility of a clinical benefit of SGLT-2i in HF patients, regardless of the presence or absence of T2DM. In very recently published DAPA-HF trial, a SGLT-2i, dapagliflozin treatment on top of standard HF therapy has been shown to have clear clinical benefits in terms of reducing HF hospitalization, CV mortality, all-cause mortality and improving quality of life in HF patients. This compelling evidence suggests that SGLT-2i have a potential to be an effective treatment option in HF, regardless of diabetes. This article provides a comprehensive overview focused on the role of SGLT-2i in the treatment of HF.
