Treatment patterns of patients with worsening heart failure with reduced ejection fraction - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38639469/
Major gaps in use of GDMT, particularly combination therapy, remain among US HFrEF patients. These gaps persist during longitudinal follow-up and are particularly large among patients with recent WHFE.
Patients with HFrEF and recent worsening heart failure events receive suboptimal guideline-directed therapy. CHART-HF reveals persistent underuse and low dosing, especially in combination treatments, across care settings.
