Condition: Heart Failure · Sponsor: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
A significant proportion of patients initially diagnosed with heart failure and a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF\<40%, HFrEF) presents a substantial improvement in response to evidence-based medical and device therapies. Some of these patients (estimated from 20 to 30%) even display a complete normalization of LVEF (i.e., \>50%) and are now recognized as a specific sub-group of patients named Heart Failure with recovered Ejection Fraction (HFrecovEF). Different studies have shown that reverse remodeling with recovery of cardiac function and stabilization of HF symptoms are associated with improved clinical outcomes over the long-term. Whether these patients present a stable remission of HF and could benefit a therapeutic de-escalation is however unclear. Until novel data are provided, medical therapies are thus continued indefinitely in these stable patients with HFrecovEF. Current guidelines for the management of patients with heart failure and a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction recommends a comprehensive therapy, including 5 different therapeutic classes (RAAS blockers (with a preference for ARNi) + Beta-Blockers + SGLT2i + Mineraloreceptors Antagonists + or - Diuretics ). None of these therapies (with the recent exception of one SGLT2i, i.e. Dapagliflozin) have been tested in patients with HFrecovEF. In addition, it is unclear whether the benefit of older therapies (notably beta-blockers) remains in patients receiving modern comprehensive thera…
