1 McMurray JJV, Young JB, Dunlap ME, Granger CB, Hainer J, Michelson EL et al on behalf of the CHARM investigators Relationship of dose of background angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor to the benefits of candesartan in the Candesartan in Heart failure: Assessment of Reduction in Mortality and morbidity (CHARM)-Added trial CHARM

2 CHARM participants 618 centers in 26 countries

3 Inclusion and exclusion criteria Key exclusion criteria  S-creatinine  265  mol/L (  3mg/dL)  S-potassium  5.5mmol/L  Bilateral renal artery stenosis  Symptomatic hypotension  ARB within two weeks Inclusion criteria  Age  18 years  Symptomatic heart failure for at least 4 weeks (New York Heart Association Class II-IV) Pfeffer et al. Lancet 2003

7 McMurray et al. Am Heart J 2006 CHARM-Added Use of ACE inhibitors  Stable dose of ACE inhibitor for ≥30 days  Investigators were provided list of recommended doses of ACE inhibitor based on target doses in positive trials  Individualised optimum doses of ACE inhibitor at baseline  96% of patients were determined to be on an individualised optimum dose of ACE inhibitor at baseline

9 CHARM-Added Investigators did optimise enalapril dose  Daily dose of enalapril in CHARM-Added exceeded those in other outcome studies using add-on therapy – MERIT-HF, enalapril dose 14 mg – RALES, enalapril dose 15 mg – CHARM-Added, enalapril dose 17.0 mg  As well as those used in clinical practice – Weighted mean daily dose of enalapril from 13,764 patients was 13.8 mg – CHARM-Added, enalapril dose 17.0 mg McMurray et al. Am Heart J 2006

10 CHARM-Added Summary of ACE inhibitor dose used  CHARM Added patients received – Evidence-based ACE inhibitor (80% of patients) – ACE inhibitor doses comparable to those achieved with forced titration (eg, 17 mg of enalapril) – Higher doses of ACE inhibitor than in other recent “add-on” treatment trials – Much higher doses of ACE inhibitor than in ordinary clinical practice McMurray et al.

17 In patients with symptomatic CHF and left ventricular systolic dysfunction, the addition of candesartan to an ACE inhibitor provides incremental benefit. There was no evidence of modification of the beneficial effect of candesartan on CV death or CHF hospitalisation based on ACE inhibitor dose or choice of ACE inhibitor McMurray et al.
