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 Guideline‐directed medical therapy (GDMT) in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) reduces morbidity mortality, but its implementation is often poor daily clinical practice. Barriers to include organizational factors that might contribute inertia, i.e. avoidance/delay of recommended treatment initiation/optimization. The spectrum strategies be applied foster GDMT wide, involves the set‐up care pathways, tailored drug initiation/optimization increasing chance successful implementation, digital tools/telehealth interventions, educational activities targeting patient/physician awareness, use quality registries. This scientific statement by Heart Failure Association ESC provides an overview current state HFrEF, barriers aims at suggesting a comprehensive framework on how overcome inertia ultimately improve HFrEF based up‐to‐date evidence.

Abstract Guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) has clear benefits on morbidity and mortality in patients with heart failure; however, GDMT use remains low. In the multicenter, open-label, investigator-initiated ADMINISTER trial, ( n = 150) diagnosed failure reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) were randomized (1:1) to receive usual care or a strategy using digital consults (DCs). DCs contained (1) data sharing from patient clinician (pharmacotherapy use, home-measured vital signs Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaires); (2) education via text-based e-learning; (3) guideline recommendations all treating clinicians. All remotely gathered information was processed into summary that available clinicians electronic health record before every consult. interactions standardly conducted remotely.

Therefore, effective, treatment strategies are necessary to mitigate these risks. In this manuscript, we emphasize the concept high-intensity care optimize guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) in HF patients. The document highlights importance achieving optimal recommended doses GDMT medications, including beta-blockers, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone inhibitors, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitors improve patient outcomes, achieve sustainable decongestion, also discusses potential obstacles optimization, such as clinical inertia, physiological limitations, comorbidities, non-adherence, frailty.
