Chronic Heart Failure | Treatment Algorithms | Claims Data Analysis | US | 2020

First-line treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF) usually involves an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, an oral beta blocker, and an oral diuretic. The addition of a second- or third-line treatment is often needed to better manage the disease. The CHF market is heavily genericized, and prescribers have many drugs and drug classes from which to choose, creating a high barrier to uptake for novel branded agents, such as Novartis’s Entresto and Amgen’s Corlanor. This CHF treatment algorithm offers insight into the prescribing patterns across all CHF patients in the United States.
