Abstract:
HFrEF causes significant morbidity and mortality and represents a major public health burden. Recently, there have been significant scientific advances in the treatment of HFrEF, with ARNI, BB, MRA, and SGLT-2i forming the GDMT for HFrEF. Basic quadruple therapy has been shown to significantly reduce of HF hospitalizations, all-cause mortality, and cardiovascular mortality. In addition, new initiation and titration procedures have recently been introduced that may progressively improve the management and prognosis of HFrEF. Further efforts are also needed to improve the use of GDMT, which is currently underutilized.
