Zusammenfassung

Im Juni 2012 wurden die neuen Leitlinien zur Behandlung der akuten und der chronischen Herzinsuffizienz der Europäischen Gesellschaft für Kardiologie publiziert. Nach der EMPHASIS-HF Studie sind Mineralokortikoidrezeptorantagonisten nun in allen Stadien der unter Betablockade und ACE-Hemmer-Therapie symptomatischen Herzinsuffizienz indiziert. Basierend auf der SHIFT-Studie sollten Patienten mit Herzinsuffizienz NYHA II–IV, einer Ejektionsfraktion unter 35% und einem Sinusrhythmus mit einer Herzfrequenz über 70/min vor dem Hintergrund einer vollständigen medikamentösen Herzinsuffizienztherapie einschließlich maximal tolerierter Betablockade mit Ivabradin behandelt werden. Die RAFT-Studie begründete die erweiterte Indikation für CRT-Systeme. Im Bereich der akuten Herzinsuffizienz hat die RELAX-AHF-Studie mit Serelaxin ermutigende Ergebnisse gezeigt. Diese Übersicht fasst die Innovationen dieser Leitlinien und die zugrunde liegenden Studien zusammen.
