Spectrum of SIHD
• Stable HF with reduced EF (HFrEF)
• Stable MI with reduced EF
• Stable MI with preserved EF
• Stable angina
• Asymptomatic CAD
• HF with preserved EF (HFpEF)
Stable HF with reduced EF (HFrEF)Stable MI with reduced EF
Beta-blocker therapy should be used in all patients with LV systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction ≤40%) with heart failure or prior MI, unless contraindicated.
(Class I, Level of Evidence: A) ACC/AHA 2012 SIHD Guidelines(Unchanged in 2014 update)
FAST-MI 2014French registry of STEMI and NSTEMI patients from 2005
to 2010
• In post STEMI pts with EF > 40 % and without HF:
• After one year, survival was 95.3% for patients on beta-blockers and 87.8% in those off the drug.
• At five years more patients in the off-beta-blocker group were alive
• Both results not statistically significant.
• Thus, in post MI pts with near normal EF, early beta-blocker treatment might be beneficial
Results of the Meta-analysis
• In the pre-reperfusion :b-blockers reduced
mortality
• In the reperfusion era : no mortality benefit but
reduced recurrent myocardial infarction and
angina (short-term) at the expense of increase in
heart failure and, cardiogenic shock
However
• Results of the meta-analysis heavily driven by COMMIT & other trials (IV, then oral BB)
• Lack of patient-level data analysis reduces the generalizabilityof these findings
• Significant clinical heterogeneity : many different beta-blockers were given in various dosages, which precludes identification of potentially harmful regimens
• Registry data have found significant differences in outcomes according to timing and route of beta-blocker administration in myocardial infarction patients.
Choo EH, et al. Heart 2014;100:492–499
The association between β-blocker use afterdischarge and mortality (all-cause death and cardiac death) within 3 years was examined.
Hence, for post MI, Normal EF :
• Beta-blocker therapy should be started and continued for 3 years
• Class I, Level of Evidence: B- ACC/AHA 2012 (Unchanged in 2014 update)
• For 1 year – 2013 ESC guidelines
Should a patient with stable angina without MI or LV dysfun be
on BB ?
Beta blockers should be prescribed as initial therapy for relief of symptoms in patients with SIHD (Class I, Level of Evidence: B)
ACC-AHA 2012
Why not IVABRADINE ?
• “SIGNIFY”'s Most Surprising Finding ! …2014
• Ivabradine associated with significantly worse outcomes in more than half the population : iethose with CCS angina class ≥2
• Author recom : Consider adjusting beta-blocker doses to effective levels before initiating ivabradine
Should an asymptomatic person, with SIHD without LV dysfn be on BB ?
• REACH…2012
• CHARISMA…..2014
• Andersson et al - Kaiser Permanente Northern California….2014
• FAST AMI……2014
REACH registry 2012• known prior MI• known CAD without MI• CAD risk factors only
No benefit in any group
CHARISMA 2014• prior MI , • known atherothrombotic disease • risk factors only
Benefit in prior MI group
Andersson etal 2014• New CAD
Benefit in pts with prior MI
FAST-MI 2014• Post MI, EF > 40%
Benefit at 1 year, not at 5 yrs
Limitations of all these studies :
• Older beta blockers used
• Not RCT’s
• Observational – with propensity matching, many residual confounders missed
• No information on several factors, such as the extent of coronary artery disease, LVEF, and patient’s functional capacity.
• No information on whether patients continued to take their beta-blockers over the entire follow-up or, indeed, whether patients in the no-beta-blocker group started taking them during this same period
The Heart and Soul Study
• A prospective study in patients with established CHD defined by :
• A h/o MI,
• angiographic evidence of at least 50% stenosisin 1 or more major coronary vessels,
• prior evidence of exercise-induced ischemia
• or a h/o PTCA or CABG
Conclusions:
• Out of all patients with inducible ischemia > 80% did not report angina.
• The presence of inducible ischemia without self-reported angina was associated with > 2-fold increased rate of recurrent CHD events
• WOULD YOU NOT GIVE BB FOR SILENT ISCHEMIA ?
What about SIHD with CTO ?
HEART 2013
Data from 295 chronic total occlusions using the collateral flow index (CFI).
What about HFpEF ?
Association Between Use of β-Blockers and
Outcomes in Patients With Heart Failure
and Preserved Ejection Fraction
Swedish Heart Failure Registry
• JAMA. 2014, November 19
• 19 083 patients with HFPEF
• After a median of 755 days, 36% of patients who received a beta-blocker had died compared with 46% of those who did not receive one (P<0.001).
So, BB’s indicated in :SIHD WITH :
• HFrEF
• MI with r EF
• MI with p EF
• Anginal symptoms
• Silent Ischemia
• CTO
• HFpEF
• Co morbidities like Hypertension, Arrhythmia, MVP, microvascularangina, Migraine ……etc etc
So is there any SIHD patient in whom they are not indicated ?
CONCLUSION
• No strong evidence against time tested benefits of BB’s – NO RCT’s
• Whatever weak evidence : is with old BB’s
• Evidence of atherosclerosis regression (even in the era of statins, ACEI)
• No serious harm
"Art is a passion pursued with discipline; science is a discipline pursued with passion"
- Sir James Black
Discoverer of Beta Blockers and Nobel Prize laureate for medicine
ESC 2013
• In summary, there is evidence for prognostic benefits from the use of b-blockers in post-MI patients, or in heart failure.
• Extrapolation from these data suggests that b-blockers may be the first line anti-anginaltherapy in stable CAD patients without contraindications
Post-hoc analysis of participants without HF from the CHARISMA trial
• 4,772 participants with prior MI, 7,804 with known atherothrombosis and 2,101 with risk factors for CVD.
• Stratified within their cohort based on beta-blocker use at baseline
• The primary outcome was a composite of nonfatal MI, stroke and CV mortality.
• Mean follow-up was 28 months.
• Propensity score analysis used within each of the three cohorts to better control for confounding and bias.
Results
• In participants with prior MI, beta-blocker use was associated with lower risk for the primary outcome compared with nonuse (7.1% vs. 10.2%; HR=0.69; 95% CI, 0.5-0.94).
• This result was primarily driven by a lower rate of recurrent MI (3.4% vs. 4.9%; HR=0.62; 95% CI, 0.39-1), and there was no difference in mortality (users, 5.3%; nonusers, 6.7%; P=.2), according to the results.
• In the cohorts of participants with known atherothrombosis and with CV risk factors alone Beta-blocker use was not associated with a lower rate of CV events
• In the risk-factor-alone cohort, there was a trend toward higher risk for stroke associated with beta-blocker use (users, 3.5%; nonusers, 1.5%; HR=2.13; 95% CI, 0.92-4.92)
FAST-MI trial• FAST-MI is a nationwide French registry that tracked STEMI and NSTEMI patients
over a five-year period, 2005 to 2010, at 223 hospitals at the European Society of
Cardiology (ESC) 2014 Congress .
• 142 patients no longer taking beta-blockers matched with 280 patients who were
still on the drugs at 12 months.
• After one year, survival was 95.3% among patients still taking their beta-blockers
and 87.8% among those who had discontinued (HR 0.76, 95% CI 0.53–1.10). While
the survival advantage did not meet statistical significance
• After five years, however this pattern was reversed, with continued beta-blocker
use associated with a trend toward increased mortality, although here again the
numbers did not meet statistical significance (HR 1.18, 95% CI 0.67–2.08).
What do the guidelines say ?
Most recent ACC/AHA guidelines for STEMI and for
secondary prevention give extended beta-blocker
therapy post-AMI in patients without HF or
hypertension a class I recommendation (for at least
three years), but recent ESC guidance in STEMI
downgraded their recommendation from I to IIa
• No prospective, randomized, controlled trial to test the prognostic benefit of beta-blockade in asymptomatic patients with stable CAD espwith NEW BB
Limitations of REACH
• No data on the type of BB, the medication dosage, or the
reason patients were without BB use.
• No data on type of MI or prior B-blocker use.
• Ejection fraction was not recorded.
• Not RCT
• Observational – with propensity matching, many
unmeasured confounders missed
Limitations to the CHARISMA analysis
• It’s a post hoc analysis
• Use of older beta-blockers
• No information whether patients continued to take
their beta-blockers over the entire follow-up or,
indeed, whether patients in the no-beta-blocker
group started taking them during this same period.
Conclusion
• In this 44 month longitudinal observational study of
patients with either
• CAD risk factors only,
• Known prior MI, or
• Known CAD without MI,
• The use of -blockers was not associated with a lower risk
of composite cardiovascular events.JAMA. 2012;308(13):1340-1349

CHARISMA- a post hoc analysisSeptember 30, 2014 Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes
• Patients grouped according to whether they’d had
• a prior MI ,
• known atherothrombotic disease or
• risk factors only,
• but no heart failure at the study outset.
• Each group was divided according to whether or not they
were taking beta-blockers at baseline.
Over 28 months of follow-up
• Baseline beta-blocker use was associated with a 31% reduced risk of the primary composite outcome among patients with prior MI
• driven mainly by reduced risk of new MI
• No advantage of BB in other 2 groups
Analysis of 19,843 pts on whom beta-blocker treatment initiated within 7 days of discharge from their initial CHD event. An average of 3.7 years of follow-up.
J Am Coll Cardiol 2014; 64 : 247- 52
Association of BB use with cardiac events, overall and according to presence or absence of a prior
MI
• No data on extent of CAD, LVEF, and patient’s
functional capacity.
• No information on why a patient was on or off beta-
blockers at any particular time.
• Observational- unmeasured confounders not
accounted for
Extent or reperfusion therapies in India
• Approximately 59% received fibrinolytic therapy and
• only 9% underwent primary PCI
• during their hospitalization, suggesting substantial
room for improvement in the use of acute
reperfusion therapy in STEMI patients in India
• CREATE registry data : Lancet 2008;371:1435-1442.
Conclusions- CTO & Collaterals
• In CTOs, collaterals provide an average of 39% of the blood flow
• Use of β blockers was associated with well-developed collaterals
• In line with studies showing that a low heart rate is positively
associated with collateral artery development
• Counteraction on catecholamines -important mediators of the
inflammatory response-another mechanism by which β blockers
could induce arteriogenesis
