Heart Failure – Unmet Need – Detailed, Expanded Analysis Acute Heart Failure (US/EU)

Acute heart failure (AHF) is characterized by the rapid onset or aggravation of symptoms of heart failure. The standard of care in AHF has remained largely unchanged since the 1970s, resulting in a highly genericized market. AHF patients continue to experience high rates of mortality and morbidity because no therapy to date has been able to improve hard clinical outcomes. This study evaluates how current therapies are differentiated based on their performance on key drug attributes and measures the impact of these attributes on the prescribing behavior of cardiologists. Revealing the relative importance of unmet needs helps identify the most attractive opportunities in AHF treatment.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

  • Which drug attributes most strongly influence AHF drug selection?
  • How do cardiologists rate key current AHF therapies across select drug attributes?
  • Where are the hidden opportunities for drug development in the AHF therapy market?
  • Do U.S. and European cardiologists have different perceptions of the unmet need in the treatment of AHF?
