Where are we in 2021 with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction?-current outlook and expectations from new promising clinical trials.

Guideline-directed optimal medical therapy is a well-established therapy in treating patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Despite clear recommendations, the prognosis in this group of patients is still poor with high mortality. After publishing results of the PARADIGM-HF trial (Prospective Comparison of ARNI-Angiotensin Receptor/Neprilysin Inhibitors-with ACEI-Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitor-to Determine Impact on Global Mortality and Morbidity in Heart Failure) clinical investigators accelerated their research. Recently, many new trials have been designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of promising management, taking into account heterogeneity of population with chronic HFrEF. Determining target doses still poses the biggest problem in standard pharmacotherapy. Implementation of new substances for the HFrEF therapy makes it possible to formulate simple rules of treatment-in most cases, administering a dose of drug in one tablet provides a faster therapeutic effect. The aim of this article is to summarize current knowledge on recently announced findings on novel molecules and to propose a new revolutionary and individualised approach to treatment of HFrEF patients.
