Key result
This column provides an overview of five recent studies on heart failure screening, MRA use, LV functional recovery timing, transcatheter mitral valve repair, and SGLT2i efficacy in ATTR-CM.
Why the study?
The rapid pace of heart failure research necessitates an ongoing effort to stay updated with the latest developments.
This review summarizes five recent studies relevant to heart failure specialists, covering HF screening, MRA use, LV recovery timing, transcatheter mitral valve repair, and SGLT2i in ATTR-CM.
May inform specialist discussions on HF topics; leaves open the need for confirmatory trials before practice change.
The rapid pace of heart failure (HF) research necessitates an ongoing effort to stay updated with the latest developments. In this column, we provide an overview of five studies of particular relevance to HF specialists ( Figure 1 ). One study introduces a novel approach to HF screening. Two studies explore the optimal use of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) and the timing of left ventricular (LV) functional recovery in patients with de novo HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), which affects decisions about implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) for primary prevention. Another study presents the baseline characteristics of a trial on transcatheter mitral valve repair for functional mitral regurgitation (FMR), comparing it with previous trials (MITRA-FR and COAPT). Finally, a retrospective study with propensity score (PS) matching examines the efficacy of sodium–glucose cotrans-porter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM).
