Heart Failure Clinical Trial
Official title:
Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Rapid Optimization, Helped by NT-proBNP testinG, of Heart Failure Therapies
STRONG-HF is a multicenter, randomized, parallel group study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of up-titration of standard oral heart failure medications during hospitalization for acute heart failure. Patients admitted for acute heart failure will be randomized within 2 days before discharge to either usual care or intensification of treatment with a beta-blocker, a renin-angiotensin system blocker, and a mineralocorticoid receptor blocker ("high intensity care" arm). In the "high intensity care" arm, patients' clinical signs and symptoms of heart failure will be assessed, and routine laboratory measures and biomarkers will be measured, at frequent post-discharge visits. When these measures indicate that it is safe to do so, the doses of the oral heart failure medications will be increased to optimal levels. Patients will be followed through 180 days from randomization. Patients assigned to the usual care group will be followed by their general physician and/or cardiologist according to local medical standards. Patients who were screened but did not meet eligibility criteria will be followed for 90-day outcome. Randomized patients will be contacted at 180 days to assess outcomes.
STRONG-HF is a multicenter, randomized, parallel group study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of up-titration of standard of care medical therapy including beta-blockers; angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi), angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) or angiotensin receptor neprolysin inhibitor (ARNi); and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRAs), on morbidity and mortality when initiated and up-titrated early during hospitalization for acute heart failure (AHF). Optimal safety conditions will allow physicians to introduce and/or continue oral HF therapies during this "vulnerable phase" in AHF patients. Patients admitted for AHF with clinical signs of congestion and elevated circulating N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and who are not treated with optimal doses of oral heart failure (HF) therapies within 2 days before hospital discharge for AHF and who are hemodynamically stable will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either usual care (named "usual care" arm) or intensification of treatment with beta-blockers, and ACEi (or ARB) or ARNi and a MRA (named "high intensity care" arm). In the latter arm, repeated assessments of clinical signs and symptoms of heart failure, routine clinical laboratory measures including potassium, sodium, and creatinine as well as NT-ProBNP will foster, encourage and ensure the safety of the optimization of oral heart failure therapies. AHF patients who were screened but did not meet inclusion criteria, including low circulating NT-proBNP at visit 2, will be followed for 90-day outcome. Randomized patients will be contacted at 180 days to assess outcomes. ;
