Advancing Care in HFpEF & HFmrEF: Optimizing Therapies for Better Outcomes
Heart Failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a diverse syndrome often driven by conditions like hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and coronary or kidney disease. It is defined as heart failure with a LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction) is ≥ 50% and accounting for more than 50% of all patients with heart failure. HFmrEF (mildly reduced ejection fraction) is diagnosed in patients with HF symptoms and LVEF between 41–49%.
Learning Objectives
- Recognize and discuss the high unmet clinical and societal burden of HFmrEF and HFpEF.
- Describe the importance of early initiation of proven treatment options to improve health outcomes and reduce residual risk for patients at risk for HF and with HF.
- Differentiate between non-steroidal MRAs and steroidal MRAs as treatment options for HFmrEF and HFpEF including mechanism of action, efficacy, and safety.
