👏 to John Mignone, Kevin Alexander, Gregg Fonarow MD, Kenneth Ellenbogen on their recently published manuscript in Heart Rhythm O2. These insights demonstrate real-world trends in HF care & further suggest the benefits of combined device therapy & contemporary GDMT. ow.ly/ABWJ50RC9mP

Thank you Ahmed Bennis for this post.

So proud of Laura Cohen for this important work—the consequences of implementing #GDMTworks : reverse cardiac remodeling in the TEAM HF study.

What is a cost-effective GDMT strategy for HFmrEF/HFpEF?

We built a model w/ clinical trial data (TOPCAT, PARAGON-HF, EMPEROR/DELIVER) and simulated outcomes w/ regimens of MRA/SGLT2i/ARNi.

Best 💊 combo?
MRA + SGLT2i

ARNi ⬇️ value at current 💵

Treat HF with urgency!

Many thanks to the team of Gregg Fonarow MD Katie Truong, MD Boback Ziaeian 🤦🏻‍♂️ Muthu Vaduganathan

In a retrospective cohort study, in 20% of #HeartFailure hospitalizations, discharge weight was higher than admission weight and in 61% of HF hospitalizations, discharge weight did not change or changed minimally from admission weight.

How troubling, interesting, and counterintuitive: Heart failure-related mortality has been on the rise and accelerating since 2019, while it was declining before... This should be the priority research focus. Bravo Marat Fudim, Dmitry Abramov, Gregg Fonaroff and co-authors.…

Oh no!

Another week has gone by and 1848 preventable ☠️s of individuals with HF in the US occurred

These ☠️s could have been avoided with optimal implementation of quadruple GDMT for HFrEF

🎯 Class 1 in guidelines ARNI+BB+MRA+SGLTi

💵 Cost-effective, high value

Next week?

After years of decline, a recent study lead by Marat Fudim, MD MHS has shown an alarming rise in heart failure mortality – especially among young adults. Learn more about the potential factors at play, and what could be done to help reverse this concerning trend: medschool.duke.edu/news/study-sho…
