About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Cardiogenic Shock focused on measuring ARNI, Sacubitril-Valsartan, Cardiogenic Shock, Tailored Therapy, Cardiac Intensive Care

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  7. Enrollment in concurrent clinical trials with investigational drugs
  8. CAD likely to require surgical or percutaneous intervention within 3 months after screening
  9. Implantation ofCRT, or upgrade of existing device or revision of the device leads within 1 month of screening
  10. Heart Transplant or VAD or intent to transplant (on transplant list) or implant VAD in the next 6 months.

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

ARNI therapy

Standard Oral Vasodilator

Arm Description

Patient's randomized to this arm will receive sacubitril-valsartan per study protocol and titrated per titration guidelines.

Patient's randomized to this arm will receive the oral vasodilator that the clinician chooses including angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), isosorbide dinitrate, hydralazine, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi).

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Proportion of patients on ARNI therapy at one-month follow-up
This will be the proportion of patients randomized to each arm who remain on ARNI therapy at one-month follow-up. Reasons for discontinuation will be tracked.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Length of time of in the Intensive Care Unit
Length of time from admission to the cardiac intensive care unit to disposition.
Length of Hospital Stay
Length of time in days from hospital admission to discharge.
Change in NT-proBNP from admission at one-month follow-up
NT-proBNP value on admission and again drawn at the one-month follow-up visit.
30 day HF readmissions
This includes 24 hr admits, IV therapy, ER visits for HF treatment that occur within 30 days of hospital discharge.
180 day telephone follow up to determine: ARNI yes or no, hospitalizations, mortality, LVAD or transplant
180 day telephone follow up to determine: ARNI yes or no, hospitalizations, mortality, LVAD or transplant

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a prospective, randomized, non-blinded, single-center efficacy study of acutely decompensated heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), low cardiac index (<2.2) as determined by pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) who have been hemodynamically stabilized and ready for transition to oral vasodilator therapy at the discretion of the clinician. The investigators would like to accomplish the following objectives with this study: Establish the superiority of an upfront initiation strategy for sacubitril-valsartan at maintaining patients on ARNI therapy at one-month follow-up compared to usual care. Establish the safety of initiating sacubitril-valsartan in an intensive care setting Characterize the hemodynamic effect of sacubitril-valsartan on patients with low cardiac output Expand the population of hospitalized patients that can be initiated on ARNIs and thus facilitate prior to hospital discharge patients who are on optimal goal-directed medical therapy (GDMT) for heart failure
Detailed Description
This is a prospective, randomized, non-blinded, single-center efficacy study of acutely decompensated heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), low cardiac index (<2.2) as determined by pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) who have been hemodynamically stabilized and ready for transition to oral vasodilator therapy at the discretion of the clinician. The investigators would like to accomplish the following objectives with this study: Establish the superiority of an upfront initiation strategy for sacubitril-valsartan at maintaining patients on ARNI therapy at one-month follow-up compared to usual care. Establish the safety of initiating sacubitril-valsartan in an intensive care setting Characterize the hemodynamic effect of sacubitril-valsartan on patients with low cardiac output Expand the population of hospitalized patients that can be initiated on ARNIs and thus facilitate prior to hospital discharge patients who are on optimal goal-directed medical therapy (GDMT) for heart failure In this pragmatic study, the primary endpoint will be establishing the superiority of sacubitril-valsartan as an oral vasodilator in maintaining ARNI therapy at one-month post hospital discharge as compared to usual care. Given the overall mortality and heart failure hospitalization benefit of ARNI over ACEI and other vasodilators has been established in large-scale clinical trials, establishing that upfront initiation of ARNI therapy in patients with low cardiac output is safe and can be maintained post-discharge would be of significant clinical benefit. Adverse events including symptomatic hypotension (requiring cessation of drug), development of worsening renal function (requiring cessation of drug), hyperkalemia [moderate (> 5.5 mmol/L) or severe (> 6 mmol/L)], or re-initiation of IV vasodilator or IV inotropic therapy will be monitored and tracked.
