RESUMO

Iron deficiency (ID) with or without anemia is frequently observed in patients with heart failure (HF). Uncorrected ID is associated with higher hospitalization and mortality in patients with acute HF (AHF) and chronic HF (CHF). Hence, in addition to chronic renal insufficiency, anemia, and diabetes, ID appears as a novel comorbidity and a treatment target of CHF. Intravenous (IV) ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) reduces the hospitalization risk due to HF worsening and improves functional capacity and quality of life (QOL) in HF patients. The current consensus document provides criteria, an expert opinion on the diagnosis of ID in HF, patient profiles for IV FCM, and correct administration and monitoring of such patients.

RESUMO

Adverse cardiac remodeling refers to progressive structural and functional modifications in the heart because of increased wall stress in the myocardium, loss of viable myocardium, and neurohormonal stimulation. The guideline-directed medical therapy for Heart failure (HF) includes Angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) (sacubitril/valsartan), ß-blockers, sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA). ARNI is under-prescribed in India despite its attractive safety and efficacy profile. Therefore, the consensus discusses objectives and topics related to ARNI in the management of cardiac remodeling, and experts shared their views on the early timely intervention of effective dosage of ARNI to improve the diagnosis and enhance mortality and morbidity benefits in cardiac reverse remodeling (CRR).

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Hypertension (HTN) is a rapidly growing epidemic in India. It is no larger restricted to older adults as more young Indians are being diagnosed with HTN. Despite its significant prevalence, the awareness, treatment, and control of HTN remain low in India. Thus, early diagnosis is essential to control HTN and prevent future complications. Screening for HTN can help identify undiagnosed and asymptomatic HTN, and thereby the early use of interventions to control the blood pressure (BP). However, no comprehensive guidelines have been established for effective HTN screening in asymptomatic individuals in an Indian setting. OBJECTIVE: To provide consensus recommendations for hypertension screening in India. CONSENSUS RECOMMENDATIONS: Screening for HTN can provide more effective control of HTN and reduce the complications. Experts recommended that the initial age at screening should be 18 years. In individuals at a high risk of HTN, targeted screening can be undertaken. BP measurement using an electronic BP recorder (with at least two readings) are required for identifying HTN during screening. In asymptomatic adults with BP <130/85 mmHg and BP of 130-139/85- 89 mmHg, rescreening should be conducted every 3-5 years and at least every year, respectively. Screening for HTN can be cost effective even when universal screening of the entire population is undertaken. CONCLUSION: The consensus recommendations would increase the awareness of HTN screening. Screening for HTN can provide more effective control of HTN and reduce the complications.
