Abstract
[Resumen] La definición más actualizada de falla cardiaca avanzada incluye síntomas refractarios al tratamiento convencional, independiente de la fracción de eyección del ventrículo
izquierdo, acompanados ˜ de elevación de péptidos natriuréticos. En esta nueva definición se
destacan condiciones específicas como son la necesidad usual de diurético intravenoso, hospitalizaciones o consultas frecuentes por falla cardíaca, medicación inotrópica intermitente y
arritmias malignas recurrentes.
Esta condición está presente en aproximadamente 4 a 6% de los pacientes con falla cardiaca y
se asocia a más síntomas, más comorbilidades y mayor mortalidad (hasta 75% a un ano). ˜ En este
punto, las terapias convencionales han fallado o son refractarias y se requiere la toma de decisiones para instaurar tratamientos más avanzados (p. ej.: inotrópicos, asistencia ventricular,
trasplante cardiaco, cuidado paliativo, entre otras).
El tratamiento representa un reto para los sistemas de salud de Colombia por la necesidad
de optimizar y racionalizar el uso de estos recursos; por esto se debe considerar que estos
pacientes, en algún momento de su evolución, que sean remitidos para valoración en las Clínicas de Falla Cardíaca ya que estos servicios cuentan con personal altamente calificado y una
estructura administrativa, logística y tecnológica que garantizan el acceso a un tratamiento
integral y multidisciplinario con estándares de calidad internacionales que es lo que finalmente
se requiere en estas condiciones.
En el ‘‘Consenso colombiano de falla cardiaca avanzada’’ se presentan diferentes opciones
de tratamiento a considerar y un modelo de atención integral que inicia desde el momento del
diagnóstico hasta etapas refractarias y avanzadas.
[Abstract] The most up-to-date definition of advanced heart failure includes symptoms refractory to conventional treatment (regardless of the left ventricular ejection fraction), accompanied by an elevation in natriuretic peptides. Specific conditions are highlighted in this new definition, such as the usual need of an intravenous diuretic, hospital admissions, or frequent consultations due to heart failure, intermittent inotropic medication, and recurrent malignant arrhythmias. This condition is present in approximately 4 to 6% of patients with heart failure and is associated with more symptoms, more comorbidities, and higher mortality (up to 75% at one year). On this point, the conventional treatments have failed, or are refractory, and decisions need to be taken to introduce more advanced treatments (for example: inotropic, ventricular assistance, palliative care, among others). The treatment represents a challenge for the Health Systems of Colombia due to the need to optimise and rationalise the use of these resources. For this reason, it must be considered that these patients, at any time during its course, may be sent for assessment in Heart Failure Clinics, as these services have highly qualified staff and an administrative, logistics, and technological structure that ensures access to an integral and multidisciplinary treatment with standards of international quality, which is what is finally required in these conditions. Different treatment options to consider are presented in the ‘‘Colombian consensus on advanced heart failure’’, as well as an integral care model that begins from the time of the diagnosis until the refractory and advanced stages.
