TLDR
In this paper, the authors provide comprehensive recommendations and practical tips for the pharmacologic management of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) including angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors, sinus node inhibitors, sodium glucose transport 2 inhibitors, and soluble guanylate cyclase stimulators.

Reduction of dietary sodium to less than 100 mmol in heart failure (SODIUM-HF): an international, open-label, randomised, controlled trial

- 01 Apr 2022 - 
TL;DR: The study of Dietary Intervention under 100 mmol in Heart Failure (SODIUM-HF) as mentioned in this paper was designed to test whether or not a reduction in dietary sodium reduces the incidence of future clinical events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sodium–glucose co‐transporter 2 inhibitors as an early, first‐line therapy in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction

TL;DR: In this article , the authors proposed that SGLT2 inhibitors are generally safe and well tolerated, with clinical trial data reporting minimal effects on blood pressure, glycaemia-related adverse events, and no excess in acute kidney injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optimizing Foundational Therapies in Patients With HFrEF

TL;DR: In this article , the authors proposed a guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) that can reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
Journal ArticleDOI

A Novel Approach to Medical Management of Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss mechanisms of action of these therapies and propose a framework for their implementation, based on several principles, including the critical importance of rapid initiation of all 4 Foundational Therapies followed by their titration to target doses, emphasis on multiple simultaneous drug changes with each patient encounter, attention to patient-specific factors in choice of medication class, leveraging inpatient care, use of the entire health care team, and alternative (ie, virtual visits) modes of care.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiorenal protection with SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with diabetes mellitus: from biomarkers to clinical outcomes in heart failure and diabetic kidney disease.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight biomarkers linked with diabetic kidney disease and heart failure and discuss how SGLT2 inhibitor-associated changes potentially mediate the cardiorenal protection observed with these therapies.

GRADE: an emerging consensus on rating quality of evidence and strength of recommendations

TL;DR: The advantages of the GRADE system are explored, which is increasingly being adopted by organisations worldwide and which is often praised for its high level of consistency.

The effect of spironolactone on morbidity and mortality in patients with severe heart failure. Randomized Aldactone Evaluation Study Investigators.

TL;DR: Blockade of aldosterone receptors by spironolactone, in addition to standard therapy, substantially reduces the risk of both morbidity and death among patients with severe heart failure.

Eplerenone, a Selective Aldosterone Blocker, in Patients with Left Ventricular Dysfunction after Myocardial Infarction

TL;DR: The addition of eplerenone to optimal medical therapy reduces morbidity and mortality among patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by left ventricular dysfunction and heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Cardiac Insufficiency Bisoprolol Study II (CIBIS-II): a randomised trial

TL;DR: Beta-blocker therapy had benefits for survival in stable heart-failure patients and should not be extrapolated to patients with severe class IV symptoms and recent instability because safety and efficacy has not been established in these patients.
