4-drug combo poised to become new standard for HFrEF treatment

27 Jul 2020 bởi

In the treatment of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), a comprehensive disease-modifying strategy combining four drugs—namely angiotensin receptor–neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), β blocker, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA), and sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor—yields incremental benefits that contribute to stopping or delaying clinical progression and extending survival, as shown in a study.
