(Please see individual algorithms for details) ACEI ACEIs are recommended in all patients with HF and LVEF d" 40%, unless a contraindication or intolerance to ACEIs is documented in the medical record. Those with renal insufficiency should be started on lower doses of ACEIs and should have frequent monitoring of electrolytes and creatinine. Contraindications to ACEIs: allergy or intolerance, angioedema, hyperkalemia (K > 5.5 mmol/L), pregnancy, symptomatic hypotension, systolic blood pressure (SBP) < 80 mmHg, bilateral renal artery stenosis. Consider hold parameter of SBP < 80 mmHg. ARBs should be utilized as an alternative treatment in patients with ACEI intolerance Beta-Blocker Beta-blockers are recommended in all patients with HF and LVEF d" 40%, unless a contraindication or intolerance to Beta-blockers is documented in the medical record. Use only evidence-based Beta-blockers (carvedilol, metoprolol succinate, or bisoprolol). Patients should be compensated and not on IV inotropes. Contraindications: symptomatic bradycardia, significant reactive airway disease, shock, 2nd or 3rd degree heart block without a pacemaker Start at low HF dosing. Consider hold parameter of SBP < 80 mmHg and HR < 40. (see beta blocker algorithm) Aldosterone antagonist Aldosterone antagonists are recommended in patients with HF or post-MI left ventricular dysfunction and LVEF d" 40% and moderate to severe symptoms, unless a contraindication to aldosterone antagonists is documented in the medical record Start at very low HF dosing. It is essential to very closely monitor serum potassium and renal function. LVEF Evaluation of LVEF with echocardiography should occur in all patients with newly diagnosed HF during admission. In patients with established HF, evidence must be present in the medical record that LVEF was evaluated prior to admission, ideally within the past 1-2 years. Device therapy for HF Select patients with LVEF d" 35% may benefit from ICD and/or cardiac resynchronization therapy. Patients should be on chronic optimal medical and not have other medical conditions that limit 1-year survival. Appropriate assessment and follow-up should be arranged for potential candidates for device therapy.
