Issue Date: | 2021 | Publisher: | WILEY | Source: | European journal of heart failure, 23 (6) , p. 872 -881 | Abstract: | Despite guideline recommendations and available evidence, implementation of treatment in heart failure (HF) is poor. The majority of patients are not prescribed drugs at target doses that have been proven to positively impact morbidity and mortality. Among others, tolerability issues related to low blood pressure, heart rate, impaired renal function or hyperkalaemia are responsible. Chronic kidney disease plays an important role as it affects up to 50% of patients with HF. Also, dynamic changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate may occur during the course of HF, resulting in inappropriate dose reduction or even discontinuation of decongestive or neurohormonal modulating therapy in clinical practice. As patients with HF are rarely naive to pharmacologic therapies, the challenge is to adequately prioritize or select the most appropriate up-titration schedule according to patient profile. In this consensus document, we identified nine patient profiles that may be relevant for treatment implementation in HF patients with a reduced ejection fraction. These profiles take into account heart rate (70 bpm), the presence of atrial fibrillation, symptomatic low blood pressure, estimated glomerular filtration rate (30 mL/min/1.73 m(2)) or hyperkalaemia. The pre-discharge patient, frequently still congestive, is also addressed. A personalized approach, adjusting guideline-directed medical therapy to patient profile, may allow to achieve a better and more comprehensive therapy for each individual patient than the more traditional, forced titration of each drug class before initiating treatment with the next. | Keywords: | Heart failure;Guideline-directed medical therapy;Clinical profiles;Heart rate;Blood pressure;Chronic kidney disease;Hyperkalaemia;Atrial fibrillation;Pre-discharge patient | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/35448 | ISSN: | 1388-9842 | e-ISSN: | 1879-0844 | DOI: | 10.1002/ejhf.2206 | ISI #: | 000652363100001 | Rights: | 2021 European Society of Cardiology | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2022 |
