Overview[edit | edit source]

Pharmacotherapy is the mainstay of therapy for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and should be initiated before considering device therapy.Three major goals of therapy for patients with HFrEF including reduction in mortality, prevention of hospitalization due to worsening HF, and improvement in clinical status. Suppression of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAAS) and sympathetic nervous systems with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I) or an angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), beta-blockers, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) have been shown to improve survival, reducing the risk of HF hospitalizations, and reducing symptoms in patients with HFrEF. ACE-I/ARNI, a beta-blocker, and an MRA are recommended as cornerstone therapies for these patients, unless the drugs are not tolerated or contraindicated. 2021 ESC Guideline recommends the use of ARNI as a replacement for ACE-I in symptomatic patients with ACE-I, beta-blocker, and MRA therapies. ARNI may be considered as a first-line therapy instead of an ACE-I. Angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) are recommended in patients intolerant to ACEI or ARNI. The sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors including dapagliflozin and empagliflozin added to therapy with ACE-I/ ARNI/ beta-blocker/ MRA to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and worsening HF in patients with HFrEF.

Drugs recommended in all patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction[edit | edit source]

Medications indicated in patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA class II–IV) heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (LVEF ≤ 40%)[edit | edit source]

Recommendations for HFrEF and NYHA class II–IV

(Class I, Level of Evidence A):

❑ ACE-I is recommended for patients with HFrEF to reduce the risk of HF hospitalization and death
❑ Beta-blocker is recommended for patients with stable HFrEF to reduce the risk of HF hospitalization and death
❑ MRA (Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist) is recommended for patients with HFrEF to reduce the risk of HF hospitalization and death
❑ Dapagliflozin or empagliflozin are recommended for patients with HFrEF to reduce the risk of HF hospitalization and death

(Class I, Level of Evidence B):

❑ Sacubitril/valsartan is recommended as a replacement for an ACE-I in patients with HFrEF to reduce the risk of HF hospitalization and death

The above table adopted from 2021 ESC Guideline

^[2]

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors[edit | edit source]

ACE-Is are the first class of drugs that reduce mortality and morbidity in patients with HFrEF and improve symptoms.
ACEI should be Uptitrated to the maximum tolerated recommended dose.

Beta-blockers[edit | edit source]

Beta-blockers can reduce mortality and morbidity in patients with HFrEF, in addition to treatment with an ACE-I and diuretic and also improve symptoms.
In symptomatic heart failure, ACE-I and beta-blockers can be used in combination.
Initiation of a beta-blocker before an ACE-I and vice versa are not recommended.^[3]
Beta-blockers should be initiated in clinically stable, euvolaemic, patients at a low dose and gradually titrated to the maximum tolerated dose.
After stability of hemodynamic in patients admitted with acute heart failure, beta-blockers should be cautiously initiated in hospital
Use of betablocker in patients with HFrEF with AF was not associated with reduction in mortality or hospital admission.

MRA or Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists[edit | edit source]

In all patients with HFrEF, MRAs (spironolactone or eplerenone) are recommended, in addition to an ACE-I and a beta-blocker, to reduce mortality and the risk of heart failure hospitalization.^[4]
MRAs improve symptoms.
MRAs block receptors that bind aldosterone and also other steroid hormones (corticosteroid and androgen) receptors.
Eplerenone is more specific for aldosterone blockade and, therefore, causes less gynaecomastia.
In patients with impaired renal function and in those with serum potassium concentrations >5.0 mmol/L, MRA should be used with causion.

Angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor[edit | edit source]

In the PARADIGM-HF trial, sacubitril/valsartan, an ARNI, was superior to enalapril in reducing hospitalizations for worsening HF, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality in patients with ambulatory HFrEF with LVEF ≤ 40% (changed to <_35% during the study).^[5]
Patients with elevated plasma NP concentrations, an eGFR≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 and were able to tolerate enalapril and then sacubitril/valsartan.
Use of sacubitril/valsartan was associated with improvement in symptoms and quality of life a reduction in the incidence of diabetes requiring insulin treatment,^[6]

and a reduction in the decline in eGFR ^[7]as well as a reduced rate of hyperkalemia^[8].

In addition, the need for loop diuretic reduced while using of sacubitril/valsartan.^[9]
Common side effect of sacubitril/valsartan is symptomatic hypotension as compared to enalapril, but despite developing hypotension, these patients also gained clinical benefits from sacubitril/valsartan therapy.
The recommendation is that an ACE-I or ARB is replaced by sacubitril/valsartan in ambulatory patients with HFrEF, who remain symptomatic despite optimal treatment.
Two studies have shown the use of ARNI in hospitalized patients with adequate blood pressure (BP), and an eGFR >_30 mL/min/1.73 m2, without previously treated with ACE-I, was associated with reduced subsequent cardiovascular death or HF hospitalizations.^[10]^[11]

Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors[edit | edit source]

The result of DAPA-HF trial showed the long-term effects of dapagliflozin (SGLT2 inhibitor) compared to placebo in addition to optimal medical therapy (OMT), on morbidity and mortality in patients with NYHA class II-IV, and had an LVEF≤ 40%.^[12]
Elevated plasma NT-proBNP and an eGFR >_30 mL/min/1.73 m2 were needed to initiation of therapy.
Benefits of dapagliflozin in heart failure including:

Reduction in worsening HF (hospitalization)
Reduction in cardiovascular death.
Reduction in all-cause mortality
Alleviated HF symptomS
Improvement of physical function and quality of life in patients with symptomatic HFrEF

Benefits were seen early after the initiation of dapagliflozin.
Survival benefits were seen in patients with HFrEF with and without diabetes.
EMPEROR-Reduced trial investigated that empagliflozin reduced the combined primary endpoint of CV death or HF hospitalization by 25% in patients with NYHA class II-IV symptoms, and an LVEF <_40% despiteOMT and eGFR >20 mL/min/1.73 m2.
Reduction in the decline in eGFR and improvement in quality of life among patients receiving empagliflozin were also found.^[13]
Dapagliflozin or empagliflozin are recommended, in addition to OMT with an ACE-I/ARNI, a beta-blocker and an MRA, for patients with HFrEF regardless of diabetes status.
The need for diuretic may be reduced due to The diuretic/natriuretic properties of SGLT2 inhibitors and reducing congestion.^[14]
The combined SGLT-1 and SGLT-2 inhibitors, sotagliflozin, has also been investigated in patients with diabetes who were hospitalized with HF.^[15]
Side effects of SGLT2 inhibitors including:

Increased risk of recurrent genital fungal infections

A small reversible reduction in eGFR following initiation

Medications with reducing mortality in heart failure reduced EF[edit | edit source]

ACE-I/ARNI, betablocker, mineralocorticoid receptos antagonist, SGLT2 inhibitor

Medications with reducing hospitalization in heart failure reduced EF[edit | edit source]

Diuretic, digoxin, ivabradine, hydralazine, isosorbide dinitrate

Other medications in HFrEF in patients with NYHA 2-4[edit | edit source]

Recommendations for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and NYHA 2-4

Loop diuretics (Class I, Level of Evidence C):

❑ Loop diuretics are recommended in patients with HFrEF with signs and/or symptoms of congestion to improve HF symptoms, exercise capacity, and reduce HF hospitalizations

ARB (Class I, Level of Evidence B):

❑ ARB is recommended in symptomatic patients to reduce the risk of HF hospitalization and cardiovascular death for whom unable to tolerate an ACE-I or ARNI (patients should also receive a beta-blocker and MRA)

If-channel inhibitor :(Class IIa, Level of Evidence B) :

❑Ivabradine should be considered in symptomatic patients with LVEF ≤35%, sinus rhythm on ECG and a resting heart rate≥ 70 b.p.m despite treatment with maximum tolerated beta-blocker, ACE-I/(or ARNI), and an MRA, to reduce the risk of HF hospitalization and cardiovascular death

If-channel inhibitor : (Class IIa, Level of Evidence C)

❑ Ivabradine should be considered in symptomatic patients with LVEF≤ 35%, in sinus rhythm and a resting heart rate≥ 70 b.p.m. when can not tolerate or have contraindications for a beta-blocker, for reduction the risk of HF hospitalization and cardiovascular death. Patients should also receive an ACE-I (or ARNI) and MRA

Soluble guanylate cyclase receptor stimulator: (Class IIb, Level of Evidence B)

❑ Vericiguat may be considered in patients in NYHA class II-IV with worsening HF despite therapy with an ACE-I (or ARNI), a beta-blocker and MRA to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death or HF hospitalization

Hydralazine, isosorbide dinitrate : (Class IIa, Level of Evidence B)

❑ Hydralazine and isosorbide dinitrate should be considered in black patients with LVEF ≤35% or with an LVEF<45% combined with a dilated left ventricle in NYHA class III-IV despite therapy with an ACE-I (or ARNI), a beta-blocker and an MRA to reduce the risk of HF hospitalization and death.1

Hydralazine, isosorbide dinitrate (Class IIb, Level of Evidence B):

❑ Hydralazine and isosorbide dinitrate may be considered in patients with symptomatic HFrEF who unable to tolerate any of an ACE-I, an ARB, or ARNI (or they are contraindicated) to reduce the risk of death

Digoxin: (ClassIIb, Level of Evidence B)

❑ Digoxin may be considered in patients with symptomatic HFrEF in sinus rhythm despite treating with an ACE-I (or ARNI), a beta- blocker and an MRA, to reduce the risk of hospitalization (both all-cause and HF hospitalizations)

The above table adopted from 2021 ESC Guideline

^[2]

Diuretics[edit | edit source]

Loop diuretics is recommended to reduce the signs and/or symptoms of congestion in patients with HFrEF.^[16]
The effects of diuretics on morbidity and mortality have not been studied in RCTs.
Loop diuretics and thiazide diuretics appear to reduce the risk of death and worsening HF compared with a placebo.
Diuretics can improve exercise capacity.^[17]
Loop diuretics and thiazides act synergistically and may be used to treat diuretic resistance.
ARNI, MRAs, and SGLT2 inhibitors may also possess diuretic properties.
Maintaining the euvolemia state is the aim of diuretic therapy with the lowest doses.^[18]
Patients should be trained to self-adjust their diuretic dose based on monitoring of symptoms/signs of congestion and daily weight measurements.

Angiotensin II type I receptor blockers[edit | edit source]

ARBs are recommended for patients who cannot tolerate ACE-I or ARNI because of serious side effects.
CHARM-Alternative study showed candesartan reduced cardiovascular deaths and HF hospitalizations in patients who were not receiving an ACE-I due to previous intolerance.^[19]
In the Val-HeFT trial, Valsartan, in addition to usual therapy, including ACE-I, reduced HF hospitalizations.^[20]
ARBs have not reduced all-cause mortality in any trial.

If -channel inhibitor[edit | edit source]

Ivabradine slows heart rate by inhibition of the If channel in the sinus node only in patients with sinus rhythm.^[21]
Ivabradine reduced cardiovascular mortality and HF hospitalization in patients with symptomatic HFrEF with an LVEF <_35%, with HF hospitalization in recent 12 months, in sinus rhythm (SR) and with a heart rate≥70 b.p.m.^[22]
Ivabradine has survival benefit.
Before to considering ivabradine, uptitrate beta-blocker therapy to maximally tolerated doses is recommended.

Combination of hydralazine and isosorbide dinitrate[edit | edit source]

In black patients with HFrEF and NYHA classes III-IV, combination of hydralazine and isosorbide dinitrate to conventional therapy (an ACE-I, a beta-blocker, and an MRA) reduced mortality and HF hospitalizations.
In symptomatic patients with HFrEF who cannot tolerate any of an ACE-I, ARNI, or an ARB (or if they are contraindicated), combination of hydralazine and isosorbide dinitrate may be considered to reduce mortality.^[23]

Digoxin[edit | edit source]

Digoxin may be considered in patients with HFrEF in sinus rhythm to reduce the risk of hospitalization.
In the DIG trial, digoxin was not effective on mortality.
The effects of digoxin in patients with HFrEF and AF have not been studied in RCTs. However, higher risk of events were observed in patients with AF receiving digoxin.^[24]^[25]
Another meta-analysis concluded that digoxin has no deleterious effect on mortality in patients with AF and HFrEF.
So, in patients with symptomatic HF and AF, digoxin may be useful for the treatment of patients with HFrEF and AF with rapid ventricular rate, when other therapeutic options are failed.
Digoxin has a narrow therapeutic window and so levels should be checked for maintaing a serum digoxin concentration <1.2 ng/mL.^[26]
Caution should also be exercised in patients as followes:

Soluble guanylate cyclase receptor stimulator[edit | edit source]

The VICTORIA study investigated the efficacy and safety of the oral soluble guanylate cyclase receptor stimulator, vericiguat, in patients with HFrEF and recently decompensated CHF.^[27]
Use of vericiguat was associated with reduced hospitalization. However, there were no reduction in all-cause or cardiovascular mortality.
Vericiguat may be considered, in addition to standard therapy for HFrEF, to reduce the risk of cardiovascular mortality and hospitalizations for HF.

Cardiac myosin activator[edit | edit source]

the efficacy and safety of the cardiac myosin activator, omecamtiv mecarbil, in HFrEF patients, was assessed by The GALACTIC-HF study.^[28]
There was no significant reduction in cardiovascular mortality.
Currently, there is no license for use of this drug.
This drug may be considered in the future in addition to standard therapy for HFrEF to reduce the risk of cardiovascular mortality and hospitalization.

Management of chronic heart failure[edit | edit source]

Serial clinical evaluation , titration of Medications[edit | edit source]

Intensification 2-4 months, (1-4 weeks cycles)[edit | edit source]

In the presence of volume overload, adjusting diuretic dose and reevaluation in 1-2 weeks
