Clinical, Review, Journal: Where are we in 2021 with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction?-current outlook and expectations from new promising clinical trials. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 30, 2022 Implementation of new substances for the HFrEF therapy makes it possible to formulate simple rules of treatment-in most cases, administering a dose of drug in one tablet provides a faster therapeutic effect. The aim of this article is to summarize current knowledge on recently announced findings on novel molecules and to propose a new revolutionary and individualised approach to treatment of HFrEF patients.

(Pubmed Central) - Apr 7, 2022 Finally, an important piece in the HF management puzzle is the treatment of its comorbidities. For instance, patients hospitalized for acute HF decompensation should be systematically screened for iron deficiency, since HF patients with proven iron deficiency benefit from intravenous ferric carboxymaltose.

(Pubmed Central) - Apr 5, 2022 For instance, patients hospitalized for acute HF decompensation should be systematically screened for iron deficiency, since HF patients with proven iron deficiency benefit from intravenous ferric carboxymaltose. In patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction, the estimated aggregate benefit is greatest for a combination of ARNi, BB, MRA, and SGLT2i.

Review, Journal: Sacubitril/valsartan, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, and vericiguat for congestive heart failure therapy. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 5, 2022 None of the three drug classes was associated with a higher prevalence of treatment discontinuation due to increases in adverse effects in large-scale randomised clinical trials compared to placebo. Further studies are required to clarify the extent of effects of these medications in different subpopulations - especially in patients with mid-range and preserved ejection fraction.

Journal, Real-world evidence: Real-world eligibility for vericiguat in decompensated heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 26, 2022 Conclusions Among the Korean hospitalized HFrEF patients, 94.9% met the FDA/EC label criteria, while 58% met the inclusion criteria of the VICTORIA trial. Our findings suggest the need for better strategies to integrate up-to-date HF treatment in a real-world HF population, especially decompensated HF patients with low SBP and non-elevated natriuretic peptide.

Clinical, Review, Journal: Evidence-Based Medical Therapy in Patients With Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction and Chronic Kidney Disease. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 11, 2022 Last, although an initial decline in eGFR is observed on initiation of several HFrEF drug classes (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin II receptor blockers/mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists/angiotensin receptor blocker neprilysin inhibitors/sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors), renal function often stabilizes over time, and the drugs maintain their clinical efficacy. A decline in eGFR in the context of a stable or improving clinical condition should therefore not be cause for concern and should not lead to discontinuation of life-saving HFrEF therapies.

Clinical: Another question is when in the HF treatment course it should be encouraged. Evidence is similar to vericiguat, ivabradine, and digoxin, but these remain beneficial in some patients.

(Pubmed Central) - Jan 28, 2022 Based on an indirect comparison, SGLT2i therapy is not associated with a significantly lower risk of CV death or HF hospitalization or CV death alone compared to sacubitril/valsartan or vericiguat. The risk of HF hospitalization does not differ significantly between patients on SGLT2i or sacubitril/valsartan, while dapagliflozin is superior to vericiguat.

Review, Journal: A year in heart failure: an update of recent findings. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 5, 2022 Landmark trials and the 2021 European Society of Cardiology guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of HF have established four classes of drugs for treatment of HF with reduced ejection fraction: angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or an angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor, beta-blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors, namely, dapagliflozin or empagliflozin...The guanylate cyclase activator vericiguat and the myosin activator omecamtiv mecarbil improved outcomes in randomized placebo-controlled trials, and vericiguat is now approved for clinical practice...Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic still plays a major role in HF epidemiology and management.
