Abstract
The concept of quadruple therapy as a "one-size-fit-all" approach is effective among all eligible patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, with consistent and significant clinical benefits including reduced mortality across various subgroups. However, with exception of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, the consistency of benefit with therapies does not extend to patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. The clinical benefits of other promising medical therapies, such as angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, have been demonstrated only in certain phenotypes of the highly heterogenous heart failure with preserved ejection fraction population. This variability can confuse frontline practicing cardiologists, potentially leading to the under-implementation of these medications. Therefore, we propose a simple approach: "targeted" combination therapy. This strategy aims to optimize evidence-based medications in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction by tailoring treatments to specific subgroups within the heart failure with preserved ejection fraction population where significant benefits are most evident.
期刊介绍:
Heart Failure Reviews is an international journal which develops links between basic scientists and clinical investigators, creating a unique, interdisciplinary dialogue focused on heart failure, its pathogenesis and treatment. The journal accordingly publishes papers in both basic and clinical research fields. Topics covered include clinical and surgical approaches to therapy, basic pharmacology, biochemistry, molecular biology, pathology, and electrophysiology.
The reviews are comprehensive, expanding the reader''s knowledge base and awareness of current research and new findings in this rapidly growing field of cardiovascular medicine. All reviews are thoroughly peer-reviewed before publication.
