Management of all patients with heart failure and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction is based on optimal drug treatment - „the great four” that reduce mortality (1-angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor neprilyzine inhibitor; 2-beta-adrenoblockers; 3-mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists; 4-sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitors-2). For certain categories of patients, treatments with implantable cardiac devices (CRT-P/D or ICD) and cardiac surgery (coronary artery bypass grafting, aortic or mitral valve repair operations) that improve the life prognosis are required, and for advanced heart failure may be considered methods of mechanical circulatory support and heart transplantation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
