  • Effects of Intravenous Nicorandil on the Mid-Term Prognosis of Patients
    Circulation Journal ORIGINAL ARTICLE Official Journal of the Japanese Circulation Society http://www.j-circ.or.jp Heart Failure Effects of Intravenous Nicorandil on the Mid-Term Prognosis of Patients With Acute Heart Failure Syndrome Shiro Ishihara, MD; Tokushi Koga, MD; Shigeru Kaseda, MD; Eiji Nyuta, MD; Yoshie Haga, MD; Shinichiro Fujishima, MD; Takao Ishitsuka, MD; Seizo Sadoshima, MD Background: Acute heart failure syndrome (AHFS) remains a major clinical challenge because of its poor prognosis. Nicorandil, a hybrid compound of a potassium-channel opener and nitric oxide donor, has been reported to improve the prognosis of ischemic heart disease. We sought to evaluate the effect of intravenous nicorandil on the mid-term prognosis of AHFS. Methods and Results: A total of 402 consecutive patients who were hospitalized for AHFS were divided into 2 groups according to the use of intravenous nicorandil: 78 patients in the Nicorandil group and 324 patients in the Control group. During the 180-day follow-up, death or rehospitalization for heart failure occurred in 7 patients in the Nicorandil group (9.0%) and in 75 patients (23.2%) in the Control group. Event-free survival rates were significantly higher in the Nicorandil group than in the Control group (P=0.006). Multivariate Cox hazard analysis revealed that age (hazard ratio (HR)=1.066, P<0.0001), systolic blood pressure (HR=0.983, P=0.0023), New York Heart Association class III/IV (HR=6.550, P<0.0001), log creatinine (HR=3.866, P=0.0106), and use of intravenous nicorandil (HR=0.179, P<0.0001) were significant predictive factors for the occurrence of death or rehospitalization for heart failure.

Vasodilators in Acute Heart Failure: Review of the Latest Studies Phillip D. Levy, Said Laribi, and Alexandre Mebazaa Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine, Assistant Director of Clinical Research, Cardiovascular Research Institute, Associate Director of Clinical Research, Department of Emergency, Medicine, Wayne State University School of Medicine, 4201 St. Antoine; UHC – 6G, Detroit, MI 48201 Abstract Vasodilators play an important role in the management of acute heart failure, particularly when increased afterload is the precipitating cause of decompensation. The time-honored approach to afterload reduction has been largely focused on use of intravenous nitrovasodilators and, when properly dosed, this class of agents does provide substantial symptom relief for patients with acute hypertensive heart failure. Despite this, nitrovasodilators have never been shown to diminish mortality or provide any post-discharge outcome benefit leading to an on-going search for viable and more effective alternatives. While no new vasodilators have been approved for use in acute heart failure since nesiritide more than a decade ago, a number of novel agents have been developed, with some showing significant promise in recent clinical trials. In this review, we summarize the latest study data as it relates to vasodilator therapy and provide a glimpse into the not too distant future state of acute heart failure care.
