1 Heart rate in heart failure: Heart rate in heart failure: risk marker or risk factor? A subanalysis of the SHIFT trial on behalf of the Investigators M. Böhm, K. Swedberg, M. Komajda, J. Borer, I. Ford, L. Tavazzi I. Ford, L. Tavazzi

2 Disclosures SHIFT Executive Committee members received fees, research grants, or both from Servier, as well as fees for speaking or consulting from other major cardiovascular pharmaceutical companies

3  Elevated resting heart rate is a marker of cardiovascular risk  Ivabradine slows the heart by selective I f current inhibition and has no known cardiovascular effects other than heart rate reduction  SHIFT allows to further explore the prognostic importance and pathophysiological role of heart rate in heart failure  We hypothesised that heart rate is a risk factor for cardiovascular events, and tested the effect of isolated heart rate reduction with ivabradine on outcomes in a heart failure population Heart rate and outcomes in HF: background

4 Study design HR and tolerability Ivabradine 5 mg bid Matching placebo, bid Every 4 months D0 D14 D28 M4 Ivabradine 7.5/5/2.5 mg bid according to 3.5 years Screening 7 to 30 days  Heart rate  70 bpm  Sinus rhythm  Hospital admission for worsening HF  12 months  Class II to IV NYHA heart failure  Ischaemic/non-ischaemic aetiolgoy   LV systolic dysfunction (EF  35%) Double-blind, placebo-controlled multinational study, 6505 patients median study duration: 22.9 months End of titration Mod from Swedberg K, et al.

7 Objective of current analysis To determine whether heart rate at baseline and on heart rate-lowering treatment with ivabradine can predict outcomes in SHIFT patients with HF and systolic dysfunction

8 Methods  The relationship between risk and heart rate was tested in the placebo group divided by quintiles of baseline heart rate  Heart rate achieved at 28 days by ivabradine (end of titration) was related to subsequent outcomes  The effect of ivabradine on outcomes, adjusted for prognostic factors at baseline, was estimated by heart rate quintiles  Outcomes analysed: –primary composite endpoint (cardiovascular death and HF hospitalisation) –secondary endpoints (all-cause / CV / death from HF; all-cause / CV / HF hospitalisation; composite of CV death, hospitalisation for HF or non-fatal MI)

17  Our results indicate that in heart failure patients in sinus rhythm and heart rate ≥70 bpm, there is a positive continuous relationship between baseline heart rate and increased risk  The risk is modified and significantly decreased by ivabradine, and the effect is related to heart rate at baseline and heart rate achieved at 28 days  Patients with lowest heart rates on treatment with ivabradine have the best outcomes Conclusion

18  Elevated heart rate is a risk factor in HF  Heart rate is an important target for therapy in HF  Shifting patients to lower heart rate profiles with ivabradine reduces CV events  Lower heart rates at baseline and lower heart rates achieved on treatment are associated with better outcomes, with incremental benefit by achieving heart rate ≤60 bpm when tolerated Clinical implications
