Heart Failure – Current Treatment – Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis – Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (US)
Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) occurs when the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is 40% or less. Drug treatment for HFrEF is well established and supported by extensive evidence from clinical trials. RAAS inhibitors and beta blockers are the first-line treatment, usually in combination with diuretics when fluid overload is present. The addition of a second- or third-line treatment is often needed to optimize disease management. Given the heavily genericized nature of the market, branded agents have had difficulty gaining traction. However, the use of SGLT-2 inhibitors has grown steadily since their launch. This report provides important insight into how these agents are used in the management of HFrEF and how practices are evolving.
Questions answered
- What patient shares do key therapies and brands garner by line of therapy in newly diagnosed HFrEF patients? What are the quarterly trends in prescribing among recently treated and newly diagnosed HFrEF patients?
- How have SGLT-2 inhibitors been integrated into the treatment algorithm, and what are their sources of business?
- What percentage of HFrEF patients receive drug therapy within one year of diagnosis, and how quickly? What percentage of patients progress to later lines of therapy within one year of diagnosis?
- What percentage of HFrEF patients are treated with monotherapy vs. combination therapy? What are the most commonly used combinations?
