Guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) dramatically improves outcomes in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Our goal was to examine GDMT use in community patients with newly diagnosed HFrEF. We performed a population-based, retrospective cohort study of all Olmsted County, Minnesota residents with newly diagnosed HFrEF (EF≤40%) 2007–2017. We excluded patients with contraindications to medication initiation. We examined use of beta blockers, HF beta blockers (metoprolol succinate, carvedilol, bisoprolol), ACEi/ARB/ARNI, and MRA in the first year after HFrEF diagnosis. We used Cox models to evaluate the association of being seen in a HF clinic with initiation of GDMT. From 2007–2017, 1160 patients were diagnosed with HFrEF (mean age 69.7 years, 65.6% men). Most eligible patients received beta blockers (92.6%) and ACEi/ARB/ARNI (87.0%) in the first year. However, only 63.8% of patients were treated with a HF beta blocker, and few received MRAs (17.6%). In models accounting for the role of HF clinic in initiation of these medications, being seen in a HF clinic was independently associated with initiation of new GDMT across all medication classes, with HR (95% CI) of 1.54 (1.15–2.06)for any beta blocker, 2.49 (1.95–3.20) for HF beta blockers, 1.97 (1.46–2.65) for ACEi/ARB/ARNI, and 2.14 (1.49–3.08) for MRAs. In this population-based study, most patients with newly diagnosed HFrEF received beta blockers and ACEi/ARB/ARNIs. GDMT use was higher in patients seen in a HF clinic, suggesting potential benefit of referral to a HF clinic for patients with newly diagnosed HFrEF. While most patients with heart failure with low ejection fraction receive some medications to treat their heart failure in the first year after diagnosis, there is still opportunity for improvement. This will become even more complex with approval of new medications to treat heart failure. Patients who are newly diagnosed with heart failure and a low ejection fraction have higher use of heart failure medications if they are seen in a heart failure specialty clinic.
