Despite recent therapeutic advances including SGLT2 inhibitors, vericiguat, and transcatheter mitral valve repair, HFrEF continues to have high morbidity and mortality.
HFrEF is a major public health concern with substantial morbidity and mortality. The management of HFrEF has seen significant scientific breakthrough in recent decades, and the ability to alter the natural history of the disease has never been better. Recent developments include SGLT2 inhibitors, vericiguat, and transcatheter mitral valve repair, all of which incrementally improve prognosis beyond foundational neurohormonal therapies. Disease morbidity and mortality remain high, with a 5-year survival rate of 25% after hospitalization for HFrEF.
Murphy et al. (2020) studied this question.
