Multi-Modal Treatment Strategy for HFmrEF and HFpEF

Javed Butler, MD, MPH, MBA, discusses the additional benefits of combining finerenone with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors for treating heart failure (HF) with midrange ejection fraction (EF) and HF with preserved EF as well as how a multimodal approach used in HF with reduced EF can be adapted for managing these conditions.

Video content above is prompted by the following:

  1. What additional benefits does adding finerenone offer when combined with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors for the treatment of heart failure with midrange ejection fraction (HFmrEF) and HF with preserved EF (HFpEF)?
  2. When considering the multimodal approach for the treatment of HF with reduced EF, how can that strategy now be implemented for the management of HFmrEF and HFpEF?
  3. What results were presented?

The article explores the use of dose-intensive IV iron replacement to achieve long-term hemoglobin stability in patients with moderate to severe HHT-related bleeding. The approach recognizes what the author calls "the relentless and recurrent nature of HHT-associated bleeding," and may help patients achieve better quality of life.
