About

  1. Study Hypothesis:

    • The decrease of plasma adrenomedullin (ADM) concentration by ultrafiltration and isovolumetric hemofiltration in patients with acute III and IV Class New York Heart Association Functional(NYHA) heart failure is more pronounced than a standard diuretic treatment and is related with clinical improvement.
  2. Outcome Measurements:

To correlate the adrenomedullin plasma levels with clinical treatment, ultrafiltration and hemofiltration related to:

  • Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level
  • angiotensin II level
  • sympathetic nervous activity
  • oxydative stress
  • clinical outcome at the beginning, at discharge and 90 days after randomization.

Full description

Testing the hypothesis that adrenomedullin (ADM) is a important peptide in severe heart failure and that is related to clinical condition, we will study the effects of 3 different treatments (clinical usual treatment,ultrafiltration and isovolumetric hemofiltration with diuretics) to participants are followed until discharge to Adrenomedullin level and clinical outcomes,and also their relationship with angiotensin II level, brain natriuretic peptide(BNP), sympathetic nervous system and oxydative stress.

The patients will be randomized in three different treatment group and analyzed in three moments: on the randomization, at discharge and 90 days after randomization(plus or minus 3).

The clinical treatment will be optimized, the ultrafiltration will be done until clinically adequate fluid removal or until hematocrit increased 10% from basal level, and isovolumetric hemofiltration will be done for 8 hours- dose of 35 ml/kg/h in association with diuretic. All this dialytic procedures will be done with PAES membrane- filter HF1400 and automatic machine.

clinical treatment
Other group
Description:
Patients with previous diagnosis of decompensated III and IV Heart Failure will be included. The clinical treatment will be optimized. Clinical assessment, Adrenomedullin, Angiotensin II, Brain Natriuretic Peptide, oxydative stress, sympathetic nervous system activity will be evaluated at the beginning, at discharge and 90 days after randomization(plus or minus3).
Treatment:
Other: clinical treatment
ultrafiltration
Experimental group
Description:
ultrafiltration will be done on decompensated patients III and IV acute heart failure on Intensive Care Unit. This patients will have biochemical analysis, adrenomedullin, angiotensin II,Brain Natriuretic Peptide, oxydative stress measurements,sympathetic nervous system activity evaluated and clinical outcome analyzed at the beginning,at discharge and 90 days after randomization(plus or minus 3). Diuretic will be withdrawn during ultrafiltration.
Treatment:
Procedure: ultrafiltration
isovolumetric hemofiltration
Experimental group
Description:
Patients randomized to this group will have isovolumetric hemofiltration on Intensive Care Unit. They will have biochemical analysis, Adrenomedullin plasmatic level, Brain Natriuretic Peptide Level, Angiotensin II level, Oxydative stress measurement,sympathetic nervous system, and clinical outcome evaluated at the study beginning,at discharge and 90 days after randomization(plus or minus 3).
Treatment:
Procedure: isovolumetric hemofiltration
