Chronic Heart Failure | Reduced Ejection Fraction | Treatment Algorithms | Claims Data Analysis | US | 2018
Treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is well-established with a wealth of evidence from clinical trials that support the use of all standard-of-care therapies for CHF. ACE inhibitors or AIIRAs, beta blockers, and loop diuretics are used for the first-line treatment of HFrEF patients. Branded agents—Novartis’s Entresto and Amgen’s Corlanor—are also approved for use in this CHF subpopulation. However, calcium-channel blockers are contraindicated in this population. The HFrEF Treatment Algorithm offers insight into prescribing patterns in CHF subpopulation with relatively established treatment guidelines.
