Although heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for approximately half of all chronic heart failure cases and understanding of the disease’s pathophysiology has improved, pharmacological treatments with proven outcomes benefits in HFpEF have been elusive. Indeed, drug treatment still focuses on managing comorbidities, and first-line treatment typically consists of RAAS inhibitors, beta blockers, and diuretics. Also, unlike in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), calcium channel blockers can be used in this subpopulation. Recently, Jardiance and Entresto secured FDA approval to treat HFpEF; these agents are already approved for HFrEF. This analysis provides insight into U.S. prescribing patterns for HFpEF.
