Hemodynamic-Guided Heart Failure Management in Patients With Either Prior Heart Failure (HF) Hospitalization or Elevated Natriuretic Peptides

JACC Heart FailPublished Secondary analysis of the GUIDE-HF randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

Consistent effects of hemodynamic-guided HF management across enrollment strata in GUIDE-HF support consideration of hemodynamic monitoring in the expanded group of patients with chronic HF and elevated NPs without recent HFH.

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Effect of hemodynamic monitoring on primary endpoint by enrollment stratum (HFH n = 557 vs elevated natriuretic peptides (NPs) n = 442)
Effects consistent across enrollment strata, full study duration (interaction P)
P = 0.71
Effects consistent across enrollment strata, pre-COVID-19 analysis (interaction P)
P = 0.58

Further findings

Event rates by enrollment stratum (NP vs HFH)

Event rates lower in NP group, full follow-up (NP vs HFH)
40.9 per 100 patient-years vs 82.0 per 100 patient-years
Event rates lower in NP group, pre-COVID-19 analysis (NP vs HFH)
43.6 per 100 patient-years vs 88.0 per 100 patient-years
