AIMS: Patients hospitalized for heart failure (HF) are at increased risk for events post-discharge. Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) improve the clinical course of patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction. We assessed MRA use in high-risk patients following an HF hospitalization to determine rate of MRA prescription, likelihood of drug continuation post-discharge, reasons for discontinuation, and association between MRA maintenance and outcomes.
METHODS AND RESULTS: Patients admitted to our hospital system between 2011 and 2013 were identified retrospectively through automated search of electronic medical records for appropriate ICD 9 and 10 codes. Patients with left ventricular ejection fraction <40%, New York Heart Association class III-IV symptoms, >1 year of follow-up and no contraindication to MRA use were included. Of 271 patients meeting inclusion criteria, 105 (38.7%) were prescribed an MRA on discharge from index admission. Over a median follow-up of 3.12 ± 0.09 years, 70 (66.7%) continued MRA therapy, while 35 (33.3%) discontinued MRA therapy. Hyperkalemia, which occurred in 43 of the 105 patients (40.1%), was the most frequent cause of MRA discontinuation. Patients who maintained MRA therapy had significantly less all-cause, cardiovascular, and HF hospitalizations and significantly better survival compared with those who discontinued drug.
CONCLUSIONS: A minority of HF with reduced ejection fraction patients who were eligible for an MRA received them following HF hospitalization and nearly a third of them discontinued drug. Patients who discontinued an MRA were more likely to be hospitalized or die during follow-up. These findings indicate a need for better strategies to increase MRA prescription and maintain therapy following a hospitalization for HF.
