The most recent projections suggest that the prevalence of heart failure with reduced
ejection fraction (HFrEF) will dramatically expand as the United States’ population
ages.
1
Two decades have past since the benefit of the original pillars of guideline-directed
medical therapy (GDMT), beta-blockers (BBs) and renin angiotensin system inhibitors
(RASis) was first established in patients with HFrEF. Since then, the supportive data
and armamentarium of therapies have only grown.
