    Heart failure with non-reduced ejection fraction: Epidemiology, pathophysiology, phenotypes, diagnosis and treatment approaches
    (2022) Cavusoglu, Yuksel; Celik, Ahmet; Altay, Hakan; Nalban, Sanem; Ozden, Ozge; Temizhan, Ahmet; Ural, Ditek; Unlu, Serkan; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan; Zoghi, Mehdi; 35969235
    Heart failure (HF) has been classified as reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) by the recent HF guidelines. In addition, HF with improved ejection fraction has been defined as a subgroup of HFrEF. In HFrEF, diagnostic workup and evidence-based pharmacological and device-based therapies have been well established. However, HFpEF, which comprises almost half of the HF population, represents significant uncertainties regarding its pathophysiology, clinical phenotypes, diagnosis and treatment. Diagnostic criteria of HFpEF have been changed a few times over the years and still remained a matter of debate. New paradigms including a prominent role of co-morbidities. inflammation, endothelial dysfunction have been proposed in its pathophysiology. As a complex, multifactorial syndrome HFpEF consists of many overlapping clinical and hemodynamic phenotypes. In contrast to HFrEF, clinical outcomes of HFpEF have not improved over the last decades due to lack of proven effective therapies. Although HFrEF and HFpEF have different clinical spectrums and proposed pathophysiological mechanisms, there is no clear defining syndrome postulated for HFmrEF. Clinical characteristics and risk factors of HFmrEF overlap with HFrEF and HFpEF. HFmrEF is also referred as a transitional zone for dynamic temporal changes in EF. So. HFpEF and HFmrEF, both namely HF with non-reduced ejection fraction (HF-NEF), have some challenges in the management of HF. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review including epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation and phenotypes of HF-NEF and to guide clinicians for the diagnosis and therapeutic approaches based on the available data in the literature.

    Management of Hyperkalemia in Heart Failure
    (2021) Altay, Hakan; Cavusoglu, Yuksel; Celik, Ahmet; Demir, Serafettin; Kilicarslan, Baris; Nalbantgil, Sanem; Temizhan, Ahmet; Tokgoz, Bulent; Ural, Dilek; Yesilbursa, Dilek; Yildirimturk, Ozlem; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan; 34738907
    Hyperkalemia is a common electrolyte abnormality in heart failure (HF) that can cause potentially life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. HF patients with diabetes, chronic kidney disease and older age are at higher risk of hyperkalemia. Moreover, hyperkalemia is also often associated with the use of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi) including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists and sacubitril-valsartan. In clinical practice, the occurrence of hyperkalemia is a major concern among the clinicians and often limits RAASi use and/ or lead to dose reduction or discontinuation, thereby reducing their potential benefits for HF. Furthermore, recurrent hyperkalemia is frequent in the long-term and is associated with an increase in hyperkalemia-related hospitalizations. Therefore, management of hyperkalemia has a special importance in HF patients. However, treatment options in chronic management are currently limited. Dietary restriction of potassium is usually ineffective with variable adherence. Sodium polystyrene sulfonate is commonly used, but its effectiveness is uncertain and reported to be associated with intestinal toxicity. New therapeutic options such as potassium binders have been suggested as potentially beneficial agents in the management of hyperkalemia. This document discusses prevalence, predictors and management of hyperkalemia in HF, emphasizing the importance of careful patient selection for medical treatment, uptitration of the doses of RAASi, regular surveillance of potassium and treatment options of hyperkalemia.

    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.
