1๏ธโƒฃ #HFrEF tx
โœ… Pros: Clear 4 pillar 1st line 1 day ( No wait)
โŒ Cons: NYHA is not fixed very changeable : Better using Hypotension (SBP<100 mmHg) as choice criteria for ACE/ARB vs ARNI
โŒ Cons: After 1 + 1/2 year from #GALACTIC_HF Omecamtiv Mecarbil still not in GD

2๏ธโƒฃ #HFmrEF
โœ… Pros: Concur with HFmrEF recom.
โญ•๏ธ Probably a 2a in this class for #ARNI is more EBM

#ACC22

3๏ธโƒฃ #HFpEF
โœ… #SGLT2i in
โŒ Cons: Diuretics Class I (No RCT, This are GD on #HF not on #Hypertension) very questionable
โŒ Especially when #EMPEROR_PRESERVED (~ 6000 pts RCT) positive & only 2a?
Because not significant on #CV_Death? ๐Ÿฅถ
Someone is missing the point in #HFpEF

4๏ธโƒฃ A major paradigm shift should be done in #HFpEF
๐Ÿ€ These pts are very old at diagnosis (76 mean age in ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น & in all registries over the last 15-20 yrs)
๐Ÿ€ Mean expectancy of life from diagnosis to death in mean 6-7 year
๐ŸŽฏ Our target is โฌ†๏ธ #QoL & โฌ‡๏ธ #HHF
@ShelleyZieroth

5๏ธโƒฃ Final
๐Ÿ”ฅ Rita Levi Montalcini : Nobel Prize 1986 โœ… โ€œBetter adding life to days than days to lifeโ€
๐Ÿ‘Œ Perfect for #HFpEF
๐Ÿ€#SGLT2i Class I
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œScience go faster than guidelinesโ€
๐Ÿ€ next year new #GD
๐Ÿ€ My hope high-time for TransAtlantic GD ACC_AHA_HFSA/ ESC_HFA
