TL;DR

A paradigm of continued, lifelong GDMT is mandated for vast majority of HFimpEF patients as they remain vulnerable despite apparent recovery, and continuation of GDMT is essential to prevent relapse and improve survival.

Effects of pharmacological blood pressure lowering in heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction: a meta-analysis.

In patients with HFmrEF/HFpEF, there was no significant association between pharmacological BP lowering and clinical outcomes, suggesting that BP lowering alone is unlikely to explain all the benefits observed with the use of recently established HF therapies.

Beta-Blocker Discontinuation in Heart Failure with Preserved or Improved Ejection Fraction: A Systematic Review.

In HFpEF, beta-blocker discontinuation improved functional capacity and quality-of-life at 2 weeks compared with continuation with no clear effect on cognition, echocardiographic parameters or CV biomarkers, but findings on important long-term clinical outcomes was conflicting.

Clinical characteristics associated with failure to achieve a prespecified guideline-directed medical therapy target at discharge in patients with HFrEF undergoing scheduled hospitalization: a secondary analysis of the HEROES study

Guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) is crucial for the pharmacological management of heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The aim of the study was to identify clinical characteristics associated with failure to achieve the prespecified stringent GDMT target in patients with HFrEF undergo...
