Abstract:Background: Despite the encouragement of early initiation and titration of guideline-di-rected medical therapy (GDMT) for the treatment of heart failure (HF), most patients do not receive an adequate type and dose of pharmacotherapy in the real world. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the efficacy of titrating composite GDMT in patients with HF with reduced and mildly reduced ejection fraction and to identify patient conditions that may benefit from titration of GDMT. Methods: This was a two-center, re… Show more
