The treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) has benefitted from a growing number of evidence-based therapies that improve ventricular remodeling, treat symptoms, reduce hospitalization, and extend survival. 1 The effects of these treatments are generally additive, such that contemporary HFrEF management involves multiple medications used together, dose-maximized over time, with serial assessment of tolerance and side effects, ultimately to achieve significant improvements in health outcomes. 2 Given this relative complexity, which occurs in patients who frequently have issues like multimorbidity and polypharmacy, prescribing guideline-directed medical therapies (GDMT) for HFrEF is rarely optimal. HFrEF registries and studies have consistently shown significant underuse and underdosing in eligible patients. 3, 4 This underuse deprives patients of important care, as the recent STRONG-HF trial (Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Up-Titration of Guideline-Directed Medical Therapies for Acute Heart Failure) showed that patients randomized to an intervention that aggressively intensified GDMT lead to an absolute reduction in HF hospitalization and all-cause death by 8% over 6 months. 5
