Advancements in Therapies for a Challenging Cardiovascular Phenotype

About half of patients with chronic heart failure have an ejection fraction >40%. Therapy for patients in this group has been challenging until recently; few therapies have been effective in improving clinical outcomes in this population. Recently, data from several clinical trials of SGLT2 inhibitors, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA), Angiotensin-receptor neprilysin inhibitors (ARNI), and GLP-1 receptor agonists, however, have offered potential for targeted therapy in this population. Meanwhile, device therapy continues to evolve for this group.  

 In this interview, Clyde W. Yancy, MD, MSc, MACC, and Akshay S. Desai, MD, MPH, discuss How to Manage Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: Practical Guidance for Clinicians.
