JAMA Cardiology presents an editorial, "Prioritizing Time from Diagnosis to Quadruple Therapy in Heart Failure Care," by Neil M. Kalwani text@1, Jessica R. Golbus text@2, and Stephen J. Greene text@3. Published online April 1, 2026.
💬 Editorial: Among patients with #HFrEF in the Veterans Health Administration, fewer than 1 in 6 achieved quadruple therapy and the median time to initiation exceeded 6 months.

FUND-HF pilot shows feasible post-discharge financial support for vulnerable #HFrEF patients with high #SDOH burden and poor HRQOL. Early efficacy, safety, and design insights support a larger multicenter trial. https://bit.ly/4bIWRzK

Figure 2 shows temporal trends in outcomes for heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction after quadruple therapy. Graph A: 30-day follow-up; Graph B: 12-month. Both graphs compare cumulative incidence % between July-Sept text@1 and Oct-Dec text@2.
In US practice, older adults hospitalized for #HFrEF and prescribed quadruple therapy still face 1 in 5 risk of death and 1 in 4 risk of heart failure rehospitalization at 1 year, with high associated health care costs.

This study builds a bedside #nomogram including NOAF, age, NYHA class, sodium, platelets, and #GDMT to predict post-CRT mortality in #HFrEF, showing high accuracy & enabling personalized risk stratification, follow-up, & therapy optimization to improve outcomes.

Figure 2 shows temporal trends in clinical outcomes for heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction. Graph A: 30-day follow-up, Graph B: 12-month follow-up. Bars compare cumulative incidence in July 2021-Sept 2022 to Oct 2022-Dec 2023.
Among older patients hospitalized for #HFrEF, prescription of quadruple medical therapy at discharge was associated w/ a 1-year mortality of 19% and heart failure rehospitalization rate of 26%, w/ median health care costs of nearly $28,000 per patient.

JAMA study: treatments for heart failure(HF) effective for HF with reduced ejection fraction due to Chagas disease? 922 patients randomized. Sacubitril/valsartan: 23.8% death from cardiovascular causes. Enalapril: 25.4%. NT-proBNP change: -30.6% vs -5.5%.
RCT: In patients with #Chagas-related #HFrEF, sacubitril/valsartan did not reduce rates of cardiovascular death or heart failure hospitalization compared with enalapril.

The VICTOR study results complement those of the VICTORIA by extending the evidence base for vericiguat in a contemporary lower-risk, well-treated ambulatory #HFrEF population.

JAMA study: Sacubitril/valsartan vs. enalapril for heart failure due to Chagas disease. 922 patients randomized. Findings: Sacubitril/valsartan showed a greater reduction in NT-proBNP compared to enalapril. No significant difference in death/hospitalization.
RCT: In patients with #Chagas-related #HFrEF, sacubitril/valsartan did not reduce rates of cardiovascular death or heart failure hospitalization compared with enalapril.

Vericiguat reduce riesgo de hospitalización por insuficiencia cardíaca y muerte por causas CV en pac c/insuficiencia cardíaca c/fracción de eyección reducida, independientemente de la gravedad, incluyendo los q reciben terapia médica según guías #vericiguat #HFrEF www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
En pacientes con insuficiencia cardíaca y fracción de eyección reducida que reciben terapia médica según las guías, el tratamiento con digitoxina reduce el riesgo de muerte por cualquier causa o ingreso por empeoramiento de la insuficiencia cardíaca #digitoxin #HFrEF www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....
In #HFrEF, quadruple therapy (ARNi, β-blockers, MRA, #SGLT2i) improves survival. Adding #vericiguat may offer a modest ~0.7-year gain, though findings are exploratory, as they are derived from a secondary endpoint of a single trial https://bit.ly/4mE83Rp

📍Recovered: individualized, may consider de-escalation
📍Improving: continue/optimize
📍Persistent: escalate, close FU/referral

🚨 #HFpEF ≠ #HFrEF! Turns out, the #immunesystem knows the difference. We profiled #immunecells in HFpEF patients (scRNA-seq) & mice-showing conserved inflammatory programs & the therapeutic potential of #NO₂-OA. 👉 doi.org/10.1161/CIRC...
#SOLOISTWHF is an example of sheermarketing. Enlist a highly diverse cohort of 79% HFrEF and 21% #HfrEF then market the results as positive for HfpEF. A closer look at the CI reveals an imprecise underpowered & completely useless trial. Pure marketing.
