    When GDMT Isn’t Enough: Understanding Residual Risk in Patients with HFrEF

    CME credits: 0.75 Valid until: 13-02-2027 Claim your CME credit at https://reachmd.com/programs/cme/when-gdmt-isnt-enough-understanding-residual-risk-in-patients-with-hfref/51036/ Patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) who have not experienced a recent worsening event pose a major clinical challenge: persistent and under-recognized cardiovascular (CV) risk. Recent findings show that these patients carry significant annual rates of CV death and heart failure (HF) hospitalization, despite adherence to quadruple guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) and device support. For cardiologists, the challenge is twofold: accurately identifying high-risk individuals without overt clinical deterioration and knowing when and how to intensify therapy in patients who appear stable but remain vulnerable. Recent data show that soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) may provide significant reductions in CV death and all-cause mortality, particularly in individuals with moderately elevated NT-proBNP (≤6,000 pg/mL). These findings are especially important because this population is far more common in routine cardiology practice and has historically been overlooked in discussions of additional therapy. However, cardiologists often underestimate risk in these ambulatory patients and may hesitate to add therapies when GDMT appears to be working well. Tune in to learn best practices for patient selection and the implementation of added sGC therapy.

    Do Not Delay: Timing, Triggers, and Identifying the Right Patient for Additional Therapies in HFrEF

    CME credits: 0.75 Valid until: 13-02-2027 Claim your CME credit at https://reachmd.com/programs/cme/do-not-delay-timing-triggers-and-identifying-the-right-patient-for-additional-therapies-in-hfref/54633/ Patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) who have not experienced a recent worsening event pose a major clinical challenge: persistent and under-recognized cardiovascular (CV) risk. Recent findings show that these patients carry significant annual rates of CV death and heart failure (HF) hospitalization, despite adherence to quadruple guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) and device support. For cardiologists, the challenge is twofold: accurately identifying high-risk individuals without overt clinical deterioration and knowing when and how to intensify therapy in patients who appear stable but remain vulnerable. Recent data show that soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) may provide significant reductions in CV death and all-cause mortality, particularly in individuals with moderately elevated NT-proBNP (≤6,000 pg/mL). These findings are especially important because this population is far more common in routine cardiology practice and has historically been overlooked in discussions of additional therapy. However, cardiologists often underestimate risk in these ambulatory patients and may hesitate to add therapies when GDMT appears to be working well.

    GDMT Is Working Fine, so Why Add More Therapies for Patients With HFrEF?

    CME credits: 0.25 Valid until: 10-02-2027 Claim your CME credit at https://reachmd.com/programs/cme/gdmt-is-working-fine-so-why-add-more-therapies-for-patients-with-hfref/48811/ Contemporary trial data and global registries consistently show that ambulatory patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) who have not experienced a recent worsening event still carry residual risk of cardiovascular death and heart failure hospitalizations. These annual rates have been estimated to exceed 10%–20%, despite adherence to quadruple guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) and device support. This paradox of clinical stability on the surface, yet significant residual risk underneath, creates a critical blind spot in the management of chronic HFrEF. Recent data show that the addition of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulators provides significant reductions in CV death and all-cause mortality, particularly in individuals with moderately elevated NT-proBNP (≤6,000 pg/mL). These findings are especially important because this population is far more common in routine cardiology practice and has historically been overlooked in discussions of additional therapy. Tune in to explore a case to better understand which patients can derive the most benefit from added therapy.=

    Missing the Window in Ambulatory Patients With HFrEF on GDMT: Strategies for CV Risk Reduction

    CME credits: 0.25 Valid until: 30-01-2027 Claim your CME credit at https://reachmd.com/programs/cme/missing-the-window-in-ambulatory-patients-with-hfref-on-gdmt-strategies-for-cv-risk-reduction/48813/ For ambulatory patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) who have not experienced a recent worsening event, cardiologists continue to face a major clinical challenge: persistent and under-recognized cardiovascular (CV) risk. Despite adherence to quadruple guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) and device support, these “stable,” guideline-treated patients carry residual risk for CV death. Recent evidence shows that the addition of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulators provides significant reductions in CV death and all-cause mortality, particularly in individuals with moderately elevated NT-proBNP (≤6,000 pg/mL). However, cardiologists often underestimate risk in these ambulatory patients and may hesitate to add therapies when GDMT appears to be working well. Our experts break down a case to illustrate how and when to employ recent data regarding the use of additional sGC in appropriate patients with HFrEF.=
