📉⚡ Early + complete GDMT = best outcomes

The four pillars work fast 🚀 and work best together 🛡️

Simultaneous/rapid sequencing to all four components of quadruple GDMT at 🎯 doses (as well tolerated) should be the standard of care for all

[Gregg Fonarow MD @gcfmd]

⏱️❤️ Time to GDMT is a KEY HF quality metric!

🔵 HFrEF → 4 pillars: ARNI + β-blocker + MRA + SGLT2i 💊

🟣 EF >40% → 3 pillars: SGLT2i + nsMRA + GLP-1 🎯

Start Day 1, titrate fast, don't wait ⚡🏆

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction has nuanced pathways for diagnosis, management and long-term care. In a recent Medical Stories feature, Clyde W. Yancy, MD, MSc (@NMHheartdoc), and Jane E. Wilcox, MD, MSc (@WilcoxHeart), provide clinical perspective on sex-specific prevalence, disease progression and the importance of individualized management strategies.

💊❤️ HFrEF polypill, 2 new RCTs:

📈 POLY-HF: +3.3 pts LVEF, 60% ↓ HF hosp/ED, 79% vs 54% adherent

🧪 COMBO-HF-X: +8.7% adherence, 10➡️7 pills/day, 93% would keep it

🛡️ No safety penalty

Fewer pills, more pillars 🙌

Myth: most patients newly presenting with HFrEF can't tolerate simultaneous, polypill, or rapid-sequence quadruple GDMT because of dangerous hypotension risk
