Pharmacological Treatment for Stage C HF With Reduced EF Renin-Angiotensin System Inhibition With ACE-Inhibitor or ARB or ARNI COR LOE Recommendations I ACE-I: A ARB: A ARNI: B-R The clinical strategy of inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system with ACE inhibitors (Level of Evidence: A), OR ARBs (Level of Evidence: A), OR ARNI (Level of Evidence: B-R) in conjunction with evidence-based beta blockers, and aldosterone antagonists in selected patients, is recommended for patients with chronic HFrEF to reduce morbidity and mortality. Comment/ Rationale NEW: New clinical trial data prompted clarification and important updates.
Pharmacological Treatment for Stage C HF With Reduced EF Renin-Angiotensin System Inhibition With ACE-Inhibitor or ARB or ARNI COR LOE Recommendations I ARNI: B-R In patients with chronic symptomatic HFrEF NYHA class II or III who tolerate an ACE inhibitor or ARB, replacement by an ARNI is recommended to further reduce morbidity and mortality. Comment/ Rationale NEW: New clinical trial data necessitated this recommendation.
Pharmacological Treatment for Stage C HF With Reduced EF Renin-Angiotensin System Inhibition With ACE-Inhibitor or ARB or ARNI COR LOE Recommendations III: Harm B-R ARNI should not be administered concomitantly with ACE inhibitors or within 36 hours of the last dose of an ACE inhibitor. ARNI should not be III: Harm C-EO administered to patients with a history of angioedema. Comment/ Rationale NEW: Available evidence demonstrates a potential signal of harm for a concomitant use of ACE inhibitors and ARNI. NEW: New clinical trial data.
Pharmacological Treatment for Stage C HF With Reduced EF Ivabradine COR LOE Recommendations IIa B-R Ivabradine can be beneficial to reduce HF hospitalization for patients with symptomatic (NYHA class II-III) stable chronic HFrEF (LVEF 35%) who are receiving GDEM*, including a beta blocker at maximum tolerated dose, and who are in sinus rhythm with a heart rate of 70 bpm or greater at rest. Comment/ Rationale NEW: New clinical trial data. *In other parts of the document, the term GDMT has been used to denote guideline-directed management and therapy. In this recommendation, however, the term GDEM has been used to denote this same concept in order to reflect the original wording of the recommendation that initially appeared in the 2016 ACC/AHA/HFSA Focused Update on New Pharmacological Therapy for Heart Failure: An Update of the 2013 ACCF/AHA Guideline for the Management of Heart Failure.

Pharmacological Treatment for Stage C HF With Preserved EF COR LOE Recommendations I I B C Systolic and diastolic blood pressure should be controlled in patients with HFpEF in accordance with published clinical practice guidelines to prevent morbidity Diuretics should be used for relief of symptoms due to volume overload in patients with HFpEF. Comment/ Rationale 2013 recommendatio n remains current. 2013 recommendatio n remains current.
Pharmacological Treatment for Stage C HF With Preserved EF COR LOE Recommendations IIb IIb B-R B In appropriately selected patients with HFpEF (with EF 45%, elevated BNP levels or HF admission within 1 year, estimated glomerular filtration rate >30 ml/min, creatinine <2.5 mg/dl, potassium <5.0 meq/l), aldosterone receptor antagonists might be considered to decrease hospitalizations. The use of ARBs might be considered to decrease hospitalizations for patients with HFpEF. Comment/ Rationale NEW: Current recommendation reflects new RCT data. 2013 recommendation remains current.
Important Comorbidities in HF Anemia
Anemia COR LOE Recommendations IIb B-R In patients with NYHA class II and III HF and iron deficiency (ferritin <100 ng/ml or 100 to 300 ng/ml if transferrin saturation is <20%), intravenous iron replacement might be reasonable to improve functional status and QoL. Comment/ Rationale NEW: New evidence consistent with therapeutic benefit. III: No Benefit B-R In patients with HF and anemia, erythropoietin-stimulating agents should not be used to improve morbidity and mortality. NEW: Current recommendation reflects new evidence demonstrating absence of therapeutic benefit.
