==Overview==
There is unfortunately insufficient data in subgroups of patients to mandate a change to guidelines recommendations regarding the management of heart failure. Dosages should be altered as needed in the elderly or in those with altered metabolism.  African american patients may respond to the addition of [[hydralazine]] and [[nitrates]] to the standard of care in the treatment of heart failure.
==Women==
Women may not drive the same benefit from angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors in meta-analysis (mortality HR = 0.80 (95% CI 0.68-0.93) for men but HR = 0.90 (95% CI 0.78-1.05) for women) <ref name="pmid12742294">{{cite journal |author=Shekelle PG, Rich MW, Morton SC, Atkinson CS, Tu W, Maglione M, Rhodes S, Barrett M, Fonarow GC, Greenberg B, Heidenreich PA, Knabel T, Konstam MA, Steimle A, Warner Stevenson L |title=Efficacy of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and beta-blockers in the management of left ventricular systolic dysfunction according to race, gender, and diabetic status: a meta-analysis of major clinical trials |journal=[[Journal of the American College of Cardiology]] |volume=41 |issue=9 |pages=1529–38 |year=2003 |month=May |pmid=12742294 |doi= |url=http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0735109703002626 |issn= |accessdate=2013-04-25}}</ref>, but women do appear to drive the same benefit from beta blockers as men (HRs for mortality 063 & 0.66 respectively).<ref name="pmid12742294">{{cite journal |author=Shekelle PG, Rich MW, Morton SC, Atkinson CS, Tu W, Maglione M, Rhodes S, Barrett M, Fonarow GC, Greenberg B, Heidenreich PA, Knabel T, Konstam MA, Steimle A, Warner Stevenson L |title=Efficacy of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and beta-blockers in the management of left ventricular systolic dysfunction according to race, gender, and diabetic status: a meta-analysis of major clinical trials |journal=[[Journal of the American College of Cardiology]] |volume=41 |issue=9 |pages=1529–38 |year=2003 |month=May |pmid=12742294 |doi= |url=http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0735109703002626 |issn= |accessdate=2013-04-25}}</ref>
==Race==
===ACE Inhibition===
Blacks tend to have a poorer response to [[ACE inhibition]], specifically in response to equivalent doses of [[enalapril]] (44% reduction in heart failure hospitalization among whites versus no benefit among black patients in SOLVD).<ref name="pmid11333991">{{cite journal |author=Exner DV, Dries DL, Domanski MJ, Cohn JN |title=Lesser response to angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor therapy in black as compared with white patients with left ventricular dysfunction |journal=[[The New England Journal of Medicine]] |volume=344 |issue=18 |pages=1351–7 |year=2001 |month=May |pmid=11333991 |doi=10.1056/NEJM200105033441802 |url=http://www.nejm.org/doi/abs/10.1056/NEJM200105033441802?url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori:rid:crossref.org&rfr_dat=cr_pub%3dwww.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov |issn= |accessdate=2013-04-25}}</ref> Similar results have been observed with respect blood pressure management. In the SOLVD study quoted above, there was a 5 mm Hg reduction in [[systolic blood pressure]] among white patients but no reduction in [[systolic blood pressure]] among black patients. Despite the lack of improvement in hospitalization or [[systolic blood pressure]], blacks did experience a reduction in mortality that was similar to that of white patients. Thus, [[ACE inhibitors]] should continue to be used in black patients.
===Beta Blockers===
Randomized trials have shown mixed benefits for blacks with beta blockers. In the [[BEST]] trial, [[bucindolol]] (they beta blocker with partial beta agonist activity) was not associated with the benefit in blacks<ref name="pmid11386264">{{cite journal |author= |title=A trial of the beta-blocker bucindolol in patients with advanced chronic heart failure |journal=[[The New England Journal of Medicine]] |volume=344 |issue=22 |pages=1659–67 |year=2001 |month=May |pmid=11386264 |doi=10.1056/NEJM200105313442202 |url=http://www.nejm.org/doi/abs/10.1056/NEJM200105313442202?url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori:rid:crossref.org&rfr_dat=cr_pub%3dwww.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov |issn= |accessdate=2013-04-25}}</ref>, however in the [[carvedilol]] trials blacks did sustain a benefit<ref name="pmid11333992">{{cite journal |author=Yancy CW, Fowler MB, Colucci WS, Gilbert EM, Bristow MR, Cohn JN, Lukas MA, Young ST, Packer M |title=Race and the response to adrenergic blockade with carvedilol in patients with chronic heart failure |journal=[[The New England Journal of Medicine]] |volume=344 |issue=18 |pages=1358–65 |year=2001 |month=May |pmid=11333992 |doi=10.1056/NEJM200105033441803 |url=http://www.nejm.org/doi/abs/10.1056/NEJM200105033441803?url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori:rid:crossref.org&rfr_dat=cr_pub%3dwww.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov |issn= |accessdate=2013-04-25}}</ref>. It has been speculated that there may be differences in the beta adrenergic system between blacks and whites that account for these differences.
===Hydralazine Plus Nitrates===
Black patients appeared to derive particular benefit from the combination of [[hydralazine]] plus [[nitrates]].<ref name="pmid10496190">{{cite journal |author=Carson P, Ziesche S, Johnson G, Cohn JN |title=Racial differences in response to therapy for heart failure: analysis of the vasodilator-heart failure trials. Vasodilator-Heart Failure Trial Study Group |journal=[[Journal of Cardiac Failure]] |volume=5 |issue=3 |pages=178–87 |year=1999 |month=September |pmid=10496190 |doi= |url=http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S1071916499000196 |issn= |accessdate=2013-04-25}}</ref>
==Diabetics==
In general, the management of the [[diabetic]] patient with [[heart failure]] is similar to that of the non-diabetic patient.  However, the [[thiazolidinediones]] (which can cause [[fluid retention]]) and [[metformin]] (which can cause [[lactic acidosis]] in the patient with [[congestive heart failure]]) are relatively contraindicated in the patient with [[congestive heart failure]].

Overview

There is unfortunately insufficient data in subgroups of patients to mandate a change to guidelines recommendations regarding the management of heart failure. Dosages should be altered as needed in the elderly or in those with altered metabolism. African american patients may respond to the addition of hydralazine and nitrates to the standard of care in the treatment of heart failure.

Women

Women may not drive the same benefit from angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors in meta-analysis (mortality HR = 0.80 (95% CI 0.68-0.93) for men but HR = 0.90 (95% CI 0.78-1.05) for women) [1], but women do appear to drive the same benefit from beta blockers as men (HRs for mortality 063 & 0.66 respectively).[1]

Race

ACE Inhibition

Blacks tend to have a poorer response to ACE inhibition, specifically in response to equivalent doses of enalapril (44% reduction in heart failure hospitalization among whites versus no benefit among black patients in SOLVD).[2] Similar results have been observed with respect blood pressure management. In the SOLVD study quoted above, there was a 5 mm Hg reduction in systolic blood pressure among white patients but no reduction in systolic blood pressure among black patients. Despite the lack of improvement in hospitalization or systolic blood pressure, blacks did experience a reduction in mortality that was similar to that of white patients. Thus, ACE inhibitors should continue to be used in black patients.

Beta Blockers

Randomized trials have shown mixed benefits for blacks with beta blockers. In the BEST trial, bucindolol (they beta blocker with partial beta agonist activity) was not associated with the benefit in blacks[3], however in the carvedilol trials blacks did sustain a benefit[4]. It has been speculated that there may be differences in the beta adrenergic system between blacks and whites that account for these differences.

Hydralazine Plus Nitrates

Black patients appeared to derive particular benefit from the combination of hydralazine plus nitrates.[5]

Diabetics

In general, the management of the diabetic patient with heart failure is similar to that of the non-diabetic patient. However, the thiazolidinediones (which can cause fluid retention) and metformin (which can cause lactic acidosis in the patient with congestive heart failure) are relatively contraindicated in the patient with congestive heart failure.

2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA Heart Failure Guideline/2009 and 2005 ACC/AHA Focused Update Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Chronic Heart Failure in the Adult and 2006 ACC/AHA/ESC Guidelines for Management of Patients With Ventricular Arrhythmias and the Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death (DO NOT EDIT) [6][7][8] [9]

Disparities and Vulnerable Populations (DO NOT EDIT) [6]

Class I
"1. In vulnerable patient populations at risk for health disparities, HF risk assessments and multidisciplinary management strategies should target both known risks for CVD and social determinants of health, as a means toward elimination of disparate HF outcomes. [10][11][12][13][14][15] (Level of Evidence: C-LD)"
"2. Evidence of health disparities should be monitored and addressed at the clinical practice and the health care system levels.[16][17][18][19][20][21][22] (Level of Evidence: C-LD) "

Recommendations for Cardio-Oncology (DO NOT EDIT) [6]

Class I
"1. In patients who develop cancer therapy-related cardiomyopathy or HF, a multidisciplinary discussion involving the patient about the risk-benefit ratio of cancer therapy interruption, discontinuation, or continuation is recommended to improve management.[10][11] (Level of Evidence: B-NR)"
Class IIa
"2. In asymptomatic patients with cancer therapy-related cardiomyopathy (EF<50%), ARB, ACEi, and beta blockers are reasonable to prevent progression to HF and improve cardiac function. [11][12][13](Level of Evidence: B-NR) "
"3. In patients with cardiovascular risk factors or known cardiac disease being considered for potentially cardiotoxic anticancer therapies, pretherapy evaluation of cardiac function is reasonable to establish baseline cardiac function and guide the choice of cancer therapy. [11][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25](Level of Evidence: B-NR)"
"4. In patients with cardiovascular risk factors or known cardiac disease receiving potentially cardiotoxic anticancer therapies, monitoring of cardiac function is reasonable for the early identification of drug-induced cardiomyopathy.[11][13][15][17] (Level of Evidence: B-NR) "
Class IIb
" 5. In patients at risk of cancer therapy-related cardiomyopathy, initiation of beta blockers and ACEI/ ARB for the primary prevention of drug-induced cardiomyopathy is of uncertain benefit. [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] (Level of Evidence: B-R)"
" 6. In patients being considered for potentially cardiotoxic therapies, serial measurement of cardiac troponin might be reasonable for further risk stratification. [38][39][40][41](Level of Evidence: C-LD)"

Treatment of Special Populations (DO NOT EDIT) [7][8]

Class I
"1. The addition of a fixed dose of isosorbide dinitrate and hydralazine to a standard medical regimen for HF, including ACEIs and beta-blockers, is recommended in order to improve outcomes for patients self-described as African Americans, with NYHA functional class III or IV HF. Others may benefit similarly, but this has not yet been tested. (Level of Evidence: A)"
"2. Groups of patients including (a) high-risk ethnic minority groups (e.g., blacks), (b) groups underrepresented in clinical trials, and (c) any groups believed to be underserved should, in the absence of specific evidence to direct otherwise, have clinical screening and therapy in a manner identical to that applied to the broader population. (Level of Evidence: B) "
"3. It is recommended that evidence-based therapy for HF be used in the elderly patient, with individualized consideration of the elderly patient’s altered ability to metabolize or tolerate standard medications. (Level of Evidence: C) "

Left Ventricular Dysfunction Due to Prior Myocardial Infarction (DO NOT EDIT) [9]

Class I
" 1. Aggressive attempts should be made to treat HF that may be present in some patients with LV dysfunction due to prior MI and ventricular tachyarrhythmias. (Level of Evidence: C)"
" 2. Aggressive attempts should be made to treat myocardial ischemia that may be present in some patients with ventricular tachyarrhythmias. (Level of Evidence: C)"
" 3. Coronary revascularization is indicated to reduce the risk of SCD in patients with VF when direct, clear evidence of acute myocardial ischemia is documented to immediately precede the onset of VF. (Level of Evidence: B)"
" 4. If coronary revascularization cannot be carried out and there is evidence of prior MI and significant LV dysfunction, the primary therapy of patients resuscitated from VF should be the ICD] in patients who are receiving chronic optimal medical therapy and those who have reasonable expectation of survival with a good functional status for more than 1 y. (Level of Evidence: A)"
" 5. ICD therapy is recommended for primary prevention to reduce total mortality by a reduction in SCD in patients with LV dysfunction due to prior MI who are at least 40 d post-MI, have an LVEF less than or equal to 30% to 40%, are NYHA functional class II or III, are receiving chronic optimal medical therapy, and who have reasonable expectation of survival with a good functional status for more than 1 y. (Level of Evidence: A)"
" 6. The ICD is effective therapy to reduce mortality by a reduction in SCD in patients with LV dysfunction due to prior MI who present with hemodynamically unstable sustained VT, are receiving chronic optimal medical therapy, and who have reasonable expectation of survival with a good functional status for more than 1 y. (Level of Evidence: A)"
Class III
" 1. Prophylactic antiarrhythmic drug therapy is not indicated to reduce mortality in patients with asymptomatic nonsustained ventricular arrhythmias. (Level of Evidence: B)"
" 2. Class IC antiarrhythmic drugs in patients with a past history of MI should not be used. (Level of Evidence: A)"
Class IIa
" 1. Implantation of an ICD is reasonable in patients with LV dysfunction due to prior MI who are at least 40 d post-MI, have an LVEF of less than or equal to 30% to 35%, are NYHA functional class I on chronic optimal medical therapy, and who have reasonable expectation of survival with a good functional status for more than 1 y. (Level of Evidence: B) "
" 2. Amiodarone, often in combination with beta blockers, can be useful for patients with LV dysfunction due to prior MI and symptoms due to VT unresponsive to beta-adrenergic blocking agents. (Level of Evidence: B)"
" 3. Sotalol is reasonable therapy to reduce symptoms resulting from VT for patients with LV dysfunction due to prior MI unresponsive to beta blocking agents. (Level of Evidence: C)"
" 4. Adjunctive therapies to the ICD, including catheter ablation or surgical resection, and pharmacological therapy with agents such as amiodarone or sotalol are reasonable to improve symptoms due to frequent episodes of ustained VT or VF in patients with LV dysfunction due to prior MI. (Level of Evidence: C)"
" 5. Amiodarone is reasonable therapy to reduce symptoms due to recurrent hemodynamically stable VT for patients with LV dysfunction due to prior [[MI\\ who cannot or refuse to have an ICD implanted. (Level of Evidence: C)"
" 6. Implantation is reasonable for [[treatment\\ of recurrent ventricular tachycardia in patients post-MI with normal or near normal ventricular function who are receiving chronic optimal medical therapy and who have reasonable expectation of survival] with a good functional status for more than 1 y. (Level of Evidence: C)"
Class IIb
" 1. Curative catheter ablation or amiodarone may be considered in lieu of ICD therapy to improve symptoms in patients with LV dysfunction due to prior MI and recurrent hemodynamically stable VT whose LVEF is greater than 40%. (Level of Evidence: B)"
" 2. Amiodarone may be reasonable therapy for patients with LV dysfunction due to prior MI with an ICD indication, as defined above, in patients who cannot or refuse to have an ICD implanted. (Level of Evidence: C)"

Heart Failure and Pregnancy (DO NOT EDIT) [6]

Class I
" 1. In women with a history of HF or cardiomyopathy, including previous peripartum cardiomyopathy, patient-centered counseling regarding contraception and the risks of cardiovascular deterioration during pregnancy should be provided. [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49] (Level of Evidence: C-LD) "
Class IIb
" 2.In women with acute HF caused by peripartum cardiomyopathy and LVEF < 30%, anticoagulation may be reasonable at diagnosis, until 6 to 8 weeks postpartum, although the eficacy and safety are uncertain.[50][51][52][53](Level of Evidence: C-LD) "
Class III (Harm)
" 2.In women with HF or cardiomyopathy who are pregnant or currently planning for pregnancy, ACEi, ARB, ARNi, MRA, SGLT2i, ivabradine, and vericiguat should not be administered because of significant risks of [[fetal harm. [54][55][56](Level of Evidence: C-LD) "
