Heart Failure in infants and neonates Dr Sanmath Shetty K Senior Resident, Dept of Cardiology Medical College, Calicut
Slide 2-

Definition of Heart Failure Brief review of Pathophysiology Unique features of heart failure in neonates. Clinical features Fetal circulation and its changes after birth Classification and Etiology Management of heart failure in neonates
Slide 3-

Congestive Cardiac Failure is a clinical syndrome in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood to the body to meet its needs, to dispose off systemic or pulmonary venous return adequately, or a combination of the two. Clinical manifestations of heart failure due to a combination of “low output state” and compensatory responses to increase it.
Slide 4-

Heart failure syndromes Acute postnatal cardiac failure: inability of heart to maintain a cardiac output necessary to maintain oxygenation of tissues. Manifest as shock or pulmonary edema. Low cardiac output, low systemic blood flow High cardiac output, low systemic blood flow: large AV shunts, vein of galen malformation. Subacute or Chronic heart failure: may follow improvement from acute cardiac failure or may have an insidious onset due to progressive ventricular dysfunction. Features: Diaphoresis, failure to thrive, weight loss, feeding difficulties, increased respiratory effort.
Slide 5-

pathophysiology Unmet tissue demands for cardiac output result in activation of The renin-aldosterone angiotensin system The sympathetic nervous system Cytokine-induced inflammation “Signaling” cascades that trigger cachexia

Slide 7-

Initially these compensatory effects help to improve cardiac output and maintain blood pressure. STAGE OF “COMPENSATED SHOCK” Long standing increases in cardiac workload and myocardial O2 consumption leads to cardiac “REMODELING”
Slide 8-

Cardiac remodeling Increase in cardiac mass ( maladaptive hypertrophy) Expansion of myofibrillar components of individual myocytes (new cells rarely formed). Increase in the myocyte/capillary ratio. Activation and proliferation of nonmyocyte cardiac cells (may produce scarring). Ultimately causes: a poorly contractile and less compliant heart
Slide 9-

HF in neonates: UNIQUE FEATURES The neonatal heart is more liable to develop HF because of the following factors: The neonatal cardiac output. The number of contractile units. Preload, afterload and Frank Starling’s law Sympathetic innervations and catecholamines. Myocardial metabolism, Ca2+ and fetal Hb. Hypoxemia and acidosis
Slide 10-

Neonatal cardiac output Fetal life ------ combined biventricular cardiac output is 450 ml/kg/min, “parallel circulation” RV= 300 ml/kg/min, LV= 150 ml/kg/min Extrauterine life ------- Series circulation. LV output= 150 450 ml/kg/min. Cardiac output gradually reduces to adult value of 70 ml/kg/min over 6 – 12 mths.
Slide 11-

Contractile units Neonatal heart has less contractile units per mm2 than adult hearts. Inside the neonatal myocyte, contractile units are restricted to 30% (70% in adults) Advantage of neonatal myocardium: ability to produce hyperplasia.
Slide 12-

Preload, afterload, frank-starling’s law In neonates, venous return is high because of increased cardiac output. Frank Starling law is fully acknowledged leaving little margin for tolerating additional overload. Afterload is directly related to radius of ventricular cavity and inversely related to wall thickness Wall stress=pressure x radius/2 x wall thickness In infants, radius high due to increased LVEDV and LV wall is thinner than in adults-------------- high afterload.
Slide 13-

Sympathetic innervations and catecholamines Infants with HF: Higher concentrations of catecholamines in circulation----- stores are depleted. Decrease in density and number of beta receptors in myocardium. Limits the action of exogenously administered catecholamines.
Slide 14-

Myocardial metabolism, ca2+, fetal Hb Neonatal myocyte can use only glucose 6 phosphate as fuel. Newborn glycogen stores are limited------ hypoglycemia causes HF. Poor sarcoplasmic reticulum in neonates---- hypocalcemia causes HF. Fetal Hb has high affinity to oxygen. Hence , only way of increasing oxygen to tissues is by increasing cardiac output.
Slide 15-

Hypoxemia and acidosis: Frequently seen in sick newborns. Significantly reduce cardiac contractility.
Slide 16-

CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS IN INFANTS WITH HF Feeding abnormalities Tachypnoea Tachycardia Cardiomegaly Gallop rhythm (S3) Hepatomegaly Pulmonary rales Peripheral edema Sweating Irritability Failure to thrive
Slide 17-

Feeding difficulties Important clue for presence of CHF in infants Usually first noticed by the mother Interrupted feeding (suck-rest-suck cycles) Inability to finish feeds, excessive time for each feed (> 30 mins) Forehead sweating during feeds --- due to activation of sympathetic system
Slide 18-

Rapid respirations Tachypnea > 60/min in 0-2 mth >50/mt in 2 mth to 1 yr >40/mt 1-5 yr in calm child Cardiac neonatal tachypnea: due to Increased pulmonary venous pressure (due to left to right shunt) Pulmonary venous obstruction Increased LVEDP. ? Neurohormonal basis Two breathing patterns in heart disease in neonates: Tachypnea with retractions and deep breaths: almost always seen with HF. Tachypnea with shallow breaths: seen with reduced pulmonary flow without HF. Happy Tachypnea: Tachypnea without significant increased work of breathing at rest, seen in infants with CHD with mild to moderate pulmonary overcirculation.
Slide 19-

tachycardia Persistently raised heart rate > 160 bpm in infants > 100 bpm in older children. Tachycardia in the absence of fever or crying when accompanied by rapid respirations and hepatomegaly is indicative of HF Consider SVT if heart rate > 220 bpm in infants and > 180 bpm in older children.
Slide 20-

cardiomegaly Consistent sign of impaired cardiac function, secondary to ventricular dilatation and/or hypertrophy. Very few cases of HF do not show cardiomegaly. rapidly fatal cardiomyopathies supra-ventricular tachycardia in its early stages total anomalous pulmonary venous return infra diaphragmatic type with obstruction.
Slide 21-

hepatomegaly This sign is present in almost all cases of neonatal HF. The normal neonatal liver appears large on palpation and it is found about 2 cm below the right costal edge. In the presence of respiratory infection increased expansion of the lungs displace liver caudally. Usually in such cases, the spleen is also palpable.
Slide 22-

Failure to thrive In chronic HF, there is inadequate growth Causes: Poor feeding, frequent respiratory infections, increased metabolic requirements, decreased absorption from gut due to congestion. Boys>girls, Acyanotic heart disease, weight gain more affected than height. Cyanotic heart disease, weight and height equally affected. In acute heart failure, weight gain may be seen. Weight gain> 30 gm/day --- suggestive of CCF
Slide 23-

Other signs of neonatal heart failure Peripheral edema: Late sign, indicates severe heart failure, presacral and posterior chest wall edema. Pulmonary rales: not useful, difficult to differentiate from pulmonary infections which frequently accompanies heart failure. Pulsus alternans: seen in severe HF. S3 or gallop rhythm: frequently seen. S3 may not indicate HF in neonates.

Landmark events in postnatal life
Slide 26-

At birth Parallel circulation becomes series soon after birth Lesions that present during first few days of life: Critical AS HLHS Critical PS Mitral atresia
Slide 27-

Closure of the ductus arteriosus Term infant Two phases: Functional closure: 18 t0 24 hours after birth Anatomic closure: over next 2 – 3 weeks Preterm infant Remains open for many days following birth. Cause: Immature ducts have high threshold of response to oxygen. Immature ducts are more sensitive to PGE2 and NO PGE2 fail to get metabolized by immature lungs. MECHANISM Removal of PGE2 based relaxing system Activation of constrictor mechanism by rise in blood oxygen tension
Slide 28-

Cardiac lesions that manifest during closure of the ductus Functional closure: Depend for pulmonary flow (TOF with pulmonary atresia) Depend for systemic flow (IAA/CoA) Depend for mixing of systemic and pulmonary blood (TGA) Anatomic closure: CoA
Slide 29-

Pulmonary Vascular resistance falls further after birth between 3 to 6 weeks Large VSD PDA ALCAPA
Slide 30-

Classification NYHA Heart Failure Classification: Not well translated for use in infants. The Original Ross Classification Ross Scoring system for heart failure in infants Modified Ross score: for older children New York University Paediatric heart failure index
Slide 31-

Original ross Classification Class I : No Limitations or symptoms Class II: Mild tachypnea or diaphoresis with feedings in infants Dyspnea in older children No growth failure Class III: Marked tachypnea or diaphoresis with feedings Prolonged feeding times Growth failure from CCF Class IV Symptomatic at rest with tachypnea, retractions, grunting or diaphoresis

Proposed HF staging for infants and children by the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation Modified from the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines and complementing the Ross classification system Stage A: Patients with increased risk of HF but normal cardiac function and no evidence of cardiac chamber volume overload Examples: previous exposure to cardiotoxic agents, family history of heritable cardiomyopathy, congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries Stage B: Patients with abnormal cardiac morphology or cardiac function, with no symptoms of HF, past or present Examples: history of anthracycline with LV dysfunction, Aortic insufficiency with LV dysfunction. Stage C: Patients with underlying structural or functional heart diseases and past or current symptoms of HF Stage D: Patients with end-stage HF requiring continuous infusion of inotropic agents, mechanical circulatory support, cardiac transplantation, or hospice care
Slide 35-

Heart failure in the fetus CHF in utero is manifested as right heart failure– pericardial or pleural effusions, ascites and peripheral (skin,placental) edema. Fetal Hydrops: nonspecific term, two or more fluid collection in the fetus. Fetal heart failure causes 26-40% of nonimmune hydrops. Echo: Cardiomegaly. Cardiothoracic area > 0.3 Cardiothoracic circumference > 0.5 Systolic dysfunction: Fractional shortening (N=28-40%) Diastolic dysfunction: small or absent E wave

NEONATAL HEART FAILURE Etiology- cardiac causes
Slide 37-

Etiology- non cardiac causes Metabolic abnormalities- Severe hypoxia, acidosis, hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia Endocrinopathies: Hyperthyroidism Severe Anemia: Hydrops fetalis Bronchopulmonary dysplasia Sepsis Arteriovenous fistula, vein of galen malformation
Slide 38-

Etiology of Neonatal Heart Failure by Age of presentation
Slide 39-

Investigations Blood tests: CBC, creatinine. Glucose, Calcium Pulse oximetry ECG ABG Radiological tests: CXR Echo Biomarkers Cardiac catheterization: in patients with heart failure following repair or palliation of congenital heart disease ( residual disease, assessment of shunt function)
Slide 40-

Hyperoxia test Administer 100 % oxygen for > 10 min PaO2 > 100 mmHg: pulmonary disease likely PaO2 < 70 mmHg, rise by < 30 mmHg or SaO2 unchanged: cardiac cause (R-L shunt) likely Exceptions: Total anomalous pulmonary venous return may respond Pulmonary disease with a massive intrapulmonary shunt may not respond
Slide 41-

CXR Cardiomegaly: Absence rules out CHF (exception: obstructed TAPVC) Upper limit 0.55 in infants and 0.6 in neonates. Thymic shadow may mimic mediastinal widening in infants. Features of pulmonary venous hypertension:
Slide 42-

Echocardiography Essential for identifying Causes of HF such as structural heart disease Ventricular dysfunction (both systolic and diastolic) Chamber dimensions Effusions (both pericardial and pleural)
Slide 43-

HF Biomarkers ANP (atrial strain) BNP (ventricular strain) Troponins (cardiomyocyte compromise) BNP and NT pro BNP levels rise at birth in normal healthy infants, level off at 3-4 days and then fall steadily. Normal values for these biomarkers in infants has not been adequately established.
Slide 44-

Management approach based on physiologic considerations General circulatory models Series Circulation Left to right shunt Circulation Right to left shunt Circulation Parallel Circulation Venous Obstruction Ventricular Dysfunction
Slide 45-

Series circulation Normal circulatory pattern Absence of mixing between oxygenated and deoxygenated blood Eg:Structural malformations causing obstruction to blood flow (AS,PS) Hypoxia : due to V/Q mismatch Treatment: Improve pulmonary status using diuretics, supplemental O2 and positive pressure ventilation Inotropic support in cases of pump dysfunction.
Slide 46-

Left to right shunt circulation Characterised by a certain volume of oxygenated blood that recirculates between the lungs and the heart never making it to the systemic circulation. Eg: ASD,VSD,PDA Volume depends on : size of shunt, SVR and PVR, presence and degree of outflow tract obstruction Hypoxemia: Pump Failure, LRTIs Treatment: Adequate oxygenation Diuretics. Maintaining adequate cardiac pump function with inotropes
Slide 47-

Right to left shunt circulation Characterised by the presence of deoxygenated blood which circulates between the heart and the body without passing through the pulmonary circulation. Volume depends on shunt size, SVR and PVR , the degree of obstruction to pulmonary circulation and the presence, absence and status of pulmonary arteries. Hypoxemia: Due to reduced Pulmonary blood flow. Treatment: In severe hypoxemia and low Qp: PGE1 therapy (change to left to right shunt, oxygenation at the expense of systemic circulation) In elevated Qp: Diuretics.
Slide 48-

Parallel circulation Blood recirculates through the pulmonary circuit, never providing oxygenated blood to the body, and another pool circulates through the body, never providing deoxygenated blood to the lungs. Not compatible with life unless there is some volume of pulmonary blood that enters the systemic circulation. Eg: TGA, DORV with malpositioned great vessels, single ventricle physiology. Hypoxemia: postnatally due to closure of PDA and Foramen ovale. At birth- shunts are bidirectional (Qs is maintained) As PVR reduces, Qp>Qs, however saturation paradoxically worsens despite pulmonary overcirculation. Treatment: No role for oxygenation. Shunts across atrial septum- provide palliation.
Slide 49-

Venous obstruction In neonates with TAPVC or single ventricle physiology due to tricuspid atresia, cardiac output and oxygenation is dependent on right to left shunting at atrial level. In such conditions, obstruction to pulmonary or systemic venous return reduces cardiac output. Treatment: Maintenance of preload to maintain right to left shunt. CVP monitoring, judicious use of fluids and diuretics. Inotropes with chronotropic effect avoided- shortens diastolic filling time.
Slide 50-

Ventricular dysfunction Both systolic and diastolic dysfunction seen in neonates. Eg: ALCAPA: ischemic cardiomyopathy Treatment: Reducing preload (diuretics) and afterload (ACE inhibitors/ ARBs) conditions. Inotropic support
Slide 51-

TREATMENT--general measures Bed rest and limit activities Nurse propped up or in sitting position Control fever Expressed breast milk for small infants Fluid restriction in volume overloaded Optimal sedation Correction of anemia ,acidosis, hypoglycemia and hypocalcaemia if present
Slide 52-

Ventilation- cardiopulmonary interactions Non invasive ventilation ( Mask, CPAP) Invasive ventilation Positive pressure ventilation: Reduces work of breathing Reduces filling of right side of the heart Reduces left ventricular transmural pressure (reduced afterload)
Slide 53-

Nutritional support Goals: Provide sufficient calories and proteins to allow normal growth and prevent breakdown of lean body mass. To make up for the past deficiencies and allow “catch-up” growth. Approx 150 kcal/kg/day Increase calorie density of feeds due to restricted fluid intake Babies on diuretics: supplementation of electrolytes (Na, K, Cl)
Slide 54-

Drug therapy Three major classes of drugs: Diuretics Inotropic agents Afterload reducing agents
Slide 55-

diuretics Prinicipal therapeutic agent to reduce pulmonary and systemic congestion. Side effects: Hypokalemia (except spironolactone), hypochloremic alkalosis
Slide 56-

Rapid acting inotropic agents Useful in critically ill infants with hypotension, those with renal dysfunction and postoperative patients in HF. Milrinone: noncatecholamine agent, PDE inhibitor, inotropic + vasodilator effect.
Slide 57-

digitalis Inotropic action Parasympathomimetic action (slows heart rate and AV conduction) Mild diuretic action. Decreases myocardial oxygen consumption in failing heart. Uses: DCM to increase CO CHF from L to R shunts: after diuretic and afterload reducing agent, if further improvement is needed Therapeutic range: 0.8-2 ng/ml
Slide 58-

Digitalization 1.) Baseline ECG and serum electrolytes 2.)Calculate the oral total digitalizing dose Maintenance dose is 25% of the total dig.dose. I.V. dose is 75% of the oral dose. 3.) Give one half of the TDD immediately ,then 1/4th & then the final 1/4th at 6- to 8-hr intervals. 4.) Start the maintenance dose 12 hrs after the final TDD
Slide 59-

Afterload reducing agents Augments the stroke volume without a great change in contractile state, i.e, without increasing myocardial oxygen demand.
Slide 60-

Beta blockers Small scale studies have shown benefit of using beta blockers in some children with chronic CHF who were symptomatic after being treated with standard drugs (digoxin, diuretics and ACEI) . Should not be used in decompensated heart failure. Starting dose: Metoprolol: 0.1-0.2 mg/kg per dose twice daily. Carvedilol: 0.09 mg/kg per dose twice daily.
Slide 61-

carnitine Cofactor for transport of long chain fatty acids into mitochondria for oxidation. Improved myocardial function and reduced cardiomegaly in patients with DCM. Dosage: 50-100 mg/kg/day twice to thrice daily (max 3 g)
