NT-proBNP and high intensity care for acute heart failure: the STRONG-HF trial

Marianna Adamo et al.

Summary: The STRONG-HF study found that rapid up-titration of GRMT in a high intensity care strategy can improve outcomes in patients with acute HF. This study aimed to evaluate the role of NT-proBNP in early treatment. The results showed that regardless of baseline NT-proBNP levels, HIC was associated with a reduced risk of 180-day HF readmission or death compared to usual care.

Sex-specific analysis of the rapid up-titration of guideline-directed medical therapies after a hospitalization for acute heart failure: Insights from the STRONG-HF trial

Kamile Cerlinskaite-Bajore et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of rapid up-titration of guideline-directed medical therapies (GDMT) in men and women hospitalized for acute heart failure (AHF). The high-intensity care (HIC) strategy of GDMT up-titration resulted in a higher proportion of both men and women reaching full doses compared to usual care (UC). There were no significant differences in outcomes, quality of life improvement, or adverse events between sexes.

Safety, tolerability and efficacy of up-titration of guideline-directed medical therapies for acute heart failure in elderly patients: A sub-analysis of the STRONG-HF randomized clinical trial

Mattia Arrigo et al.

Summary: Aims STRONG-HF investigated the efficacy and safety of high-intensity care (HIC) strategy after acute heart failure (AHF) admission and evaluated the impact of age. The study found that HIC significantly reduced the 180-day death or HF readmission rate in patients of different age groups, but had smaller effects on improving the quality of life in older patients.

Uptitrating Treatment After Heart Failure Hospitalization Across the Spectrum of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction

Matteo Pagnesi et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that a strategy of rapid uptitration of oral treatment for heart failure and close follow-up, compared with usual care, can significantly improve the prognosis of patients with acute heart failure, regardless of left ventricular ejection fraction. This approach reduces the risk of HF rehospitalization or all-cause death within 180 days after AHF hospitalization, independently of LVEF.

Comprehensive characterization of non-cardiac comorbidities in acute heart failure: an analysis of ESC-HFA EURObservational Research Programme Heart Failure Long-Term Registry

Ovidiu Chioncel et al.

Summary: This study investigates the prevalence and associations of non-cardiac comorbidities (NCCs) with in-hospital and post-discharge outcomes in acute heart failure (AHF) patients with different ejection fraction (EF) categories. Multiple NCCs are associated with poor outcomes, and the association between individual comorbidities and post-discharge outcomes varies among different EF categories, suggesting the need for specific multidisciplinary management programs for different comorbidities in post-discharge phase.

Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors as an early, first-line therapy in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction

Daniela Tomasoni et al.

Summary: Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are recommended for the treatment of heart failure patients due to their favorable effects. These drugs can be administered early in the treatment process to reduce clinical events and improve quality of life, and their efficacy is independent of background therapy.

Shinsuke Takeuchi et al.

Summary: This study examined the prevalence of multimorbidity clusters and the impact of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) on the prognosis of heart failure (HF) patients. The results showed that the presence of comorbidity clusters was associated with poorer outcomes, but GDMT remained beneficial in reducing adverse outcomes.

Variation in use and dosing escalation of renin angiotensin system, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor and beta-blocker therapies in heart failure and reduced ejection fraction: Association of comorbidities

Nancy M. Albert et al.

Summary: In HFrEF patients, those with comorbidities were less likely to use ACEi/ARB/ARNI, while patients with obstructive sleep apnea were more likely to be prescribed ARNI and MRA. Patients with atrial fibrillation were less likely to receive ACEi/ARB and any study medication.

Temporal trends in mortality and readmission after acute heart failure: a systematic review and meta-regression in the past four decades

Antoine Kimmoun et al.

Summary: This study analyzed AHF studies with more than 100 patients from 1980 to 2017 and found a declining trend in 30-day all-cause death rates, although mortality and readmission rates remained high. The increase in the use of oral neurohormonal antagonists may be associated with improved survival after AHF episodes.

Sacubitril/Valsartan Initiation and Postdischarge Adherence Among Patients Hospitalized for Heart Failure

Anthony P. Carnicelli et al.

Summary: The study found that over 90% of eligible HFrEF patients were discharged without sacubitril/valsartan in US clinical practice from 2015 to 2017. Patients initiated with sacubitril/valsartan as inpatients had better postdischarge medication adherence compared to those initiated at discharge. Patients who were not prescribed sacubitril/valsartan upon discharge were unlikely to receive it during follow-up.
