Now, it's important not to pull the trigger too early on device therapy because most of these specific heart failure medications may actually contribute to an increase in left ventricular rejected fraction. However, if for some reason, tummy titration of pharmacologic therapies is not feasible or impractical for reasons, new CCS guidelines say that referral for defibrill
