⚠️ Low BP in HFrEF — should it stop us from using GDMT? Data says: probably not.
From COPERNICUS, PARADIGM-HF, RALES/EMPHASIS-HF & DAPA-HF:
✅ Carvedilol beneficial even at SBP 85–95 mmHg
✅ Sacubitril/Valsartan consistent across all BP strata
✅ MRA & SGLT2i similarly effective in low BP groups
Low SBP is a reason to be careful — not a reason to stop. 💡

30-60% of #HeartFailure patients also have #CKD, & this overlap markedly increases the risk of hospitalization🏥 & death☠️
Despite major advances in each condition, important gaps remain when they coexist⚠️: diagnosis is challenging, biomarkers are harder to interpret, & management is less straightforward
This @goKDIGO executive conclusions brought experts together to tackle these challenges
Here are the key takeaways👇

The collaborations continue! Nursing and advanced practice nursing in heart failure continue to benefit greatly from shared experiences between 🇨🇦 and the 🇺🇸.

HF with mildly reduced EF (HFmrEF) sits between HFrEF & HFpEF; where does it truly belong?
A new HFSA Scientific Statement examines its epidemiology & pathophysiology & provides a comprehensive management framework for this understudied HF phenotype🫀
