The effect of left bundle branch block on pharmacotherapy and changes of left ventricular ejection fraction after the rapid-up titration of guideline-directed medical therapy in heart failure

The 2023 ESC Heart Failure (HF) Guidelines (GLs) recommend the rapid up-titration of GL-directed medical therapy (GDMT) for all patients (pts) after a HF hospitalisation to improve prognosis. The literature suggests that left bundle branch block (LBBB) may have a negative impact on the implementation of GDMT and...

“Hold the drug, strength tomorrow”: The prognostic effect of therapy adherence after a hospitalisation for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

Adherence to guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) in heart failure (HF) remains a significant challenge nowadays, which is emphasised by the 2025 scientific statement of the ESC HFA and the ESC Working Group on Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy. Not only “door-to-GDMT” time, but also “time on GDMT” has a severe...

The importance of continuous up-titration and long-term application of guideline-directed medical therapy on prognosis after hospitalisation for heart failure

The long-term use and the achieved doses of QT after a hospitalisation for HF (HFH) in a consecutive cohort of HFrEF patients was analyzed and the effect of the achieved doses on prognosis (all-cause mortality [ACM], HFH, composite of ACM/HFH) was evaluated.

The prognostic role of follow-up at a multidisciplinary Heart Failure Outpatient Clinic in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction: the fifth element of the modern complex care

The 2021 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Heart Failure (HF) Guidelines (GLs) recommend enrolling all HF patients in a multidisciplinary HF management programme to improve the prognosis. However, the accessibility of HF Outpatient Clinics (HFOCs) in real-world clinical practice remains suboptimal. To a...
