Advances in the Management of Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction; The Role of SGLT2is, ARNI, Myotropes, Vericiguat, and Anti-inflammatory Agents: A Mini-review

Curr Pharm Des. 2023; online ahead of print DOI: 10.2174/1381612829666230316142450

This mini-review summarises recent data on new treatments for HFrEF. The article highlights that SGLT2i have revolutionised the management of HFrEF via significant reductions in CV mortality and HF hospitalisations. The role of sacubitril/valsartan as a potential replacement for ACEis and ARBS is discussed. New data on promising disease-modifying therapies are highlighted including vericiguat, which restores the impaired cyclic guanosine monophosphate pathway, and omecamtiv mecarbil, which stimulates cardiac myosin without marked arrhythmogenesis. The lack of success in developing anti-inflammatory agents for HFrEF, despite inflammasome activity being implicated in HFrEF pathophysiology, is discussed.
