Abstract In the last years, major progress has occurred in heart failure (HF) management. The 2023 ESC focused update of 2021 HF guidelines introduced new key recommendations based on results years science. First, two drugs, sodium–glucose co‐transporter‐2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and finerenone, a novel nonsteroidal, selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA), are recommended for prevention patients with diabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD). Second, SGLT2 now treatment across entire left ventricular ejection fraction spectrum. benefits quadruple therapy reduced (HFrEF) well established.

Abstract Aims Accurate selection of patients with severe heart failure (HF) who might benefit from advanced therapies is crucial. The present study investigates the performance available risk scores aimed at predicting mortality in HF. Methods and results 1‐year was estimated HF enrolled HELP‐HF cohort according to MAGGIC, 3‐CHF, ADHF/NT‐proBNP, GWTG‐HF scores, number criteria 2018 HFA‐ESC definition HF, I NEED HELP markers, domains fulfilled 2019 frailty, frailty index, INTERMACS profile. In addition, we tested different machine learning (ML)‐based models predict mortality. At follow‐up, 265 (23.1%) died. prognostic accuracy, subgroup completeness all data regarding variables included (497/1149 patients), resulted moderate for GWTG‐HF, ADHF/NT‐proBNP (area under curve [AUC] ≥0.70) only poor other tools. All lost accuracy estimating rate highest risk. Support vector machine‐based model had best AUC among ML‐based models, slightly outperforming most scores. Conclusion Most used performed poorly real‐world provided inaccurate estimate did not significantly outperform currently their use must be validated large patients.
