Nature Reviews Cardiology, Published online: 18 October 2019; doi:10.1038/s41569-019-0298-7Results from a prospective study by Santema and colleagues suggest that women with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction might need lower doses of standard heart failure drugs than men. However, this conclusion was formed on the basis of data from a small proportion of the population studied and might only be relevant to participants taking β-blockers.
