Abstract
Until recently, three groups of drugs were recommended by NICE as standard therapy to improve symptoms and prognosis in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The aspiration is for patients to receive them at the maximal tolerated doses (Table 1). The groups are: angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) or angiotensin-neprilysin inhibitors (ARNI); beta-blockers (BB); and — for patients remaining symptomatic — mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA).
