Calcium channel blocker use and outcomes in patients with heart failure and mildly reduced and preserved ejection fraction
ConclusionAlthough this is an observational analysis of non-randomized treatment, there was no suggestion that CCBs were associated with worse HF outcomes. Indeed, CCB use was associated with a lower incidence of pump failure death. (Source: European Journal of Heart Failure)

Safety of Continuing Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists Treatment in Patients with Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction and Severe Kidney Disease: Data from Swedish Heart Failure Registry
ConclusionsThe use of MRAs in patients with HFrEF decreased with worse renal function; however their safety profile was demonstrated to be consistent across the entire eGFR spectrum.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: European Journal of Heart Failure)

Non ‐cardiac comorbidities and intensive up‐titration of oral treatment in patients recently hospitalized for heart failure: Insights from the STRONG‐HF trial
ConclusionsIn the STRONG-HF trial, NCCs neither limited the rapid up-titration of HF therapies, nor attenuated the benefit of HIC on the primary endpoint. In the context of a clinical trial, the benefit –risk ratio favours the rapid up-titration of HF therapies even in patients with multiple NCCs. (Source: European Journal of Heart Failure)

Impact of COVID ‐19 in Patients with Heart Failure with Mildly Reduced or Preserved Ejection Fraction Enrolled in the DELIVER Trial
ConclusionDELIVER is one of the most extensive experiences with COVID-19 of any cardiovascular trial, with>75% of follow-up time occurring during the pandemic. COVID-19 was common, with>50% of cases leading to hospitalization or death. Treatment benefits of dapagliflozin persisted when censoring at COVID-19 diagnosis and pandemic onset. Patients surviving COVID-19 event had a high early residual risk.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: European Journal of Heart Failure)
