Randomized clinical trials have established the efficacy of many medications, which have reduced mortality rates and averted hospitalizations for patients with heart failure. In parallel, scientific advancements have improved the ability to treat atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease, among other common comorbid conditions.Scientific progress has also had unintended consequences. To receive guideline-concordant care, persons with HFrEF must take many medications every day: a renin–angiotensin and neprilysin antagonist, a β-adrenergic blocker, a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, ...References:1.
