A potential contributor to the suboptimal rates of guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT) prescribing for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is the burden of multimorbidity in patients with HFrEF. We examined the effect of multimorbidity on GDMT prescription in the EPIC-HF trial, finding that multimorbidity was associated with decreased likelihood of GDMT intensification. Further study is needed to guide treatment in high-risk, multimorbid patients with HFrEF.
射血分数降低的心力衰竭(HFrEF)患者中,指南指导的药物治疗(GDMT)处方率未达最佳水平的一个潜在因素是HFrEF患者的多种合并症负担。我们在EPIC-HF试验中研究了多种合并症对GDMT处方的影响,发现多种合并症与GDMT强化的可能性降低有关。需要进一步研究来指导高危、合并多种疾病的HFrEF患者的治疗。
