Guideline-directed medical therapy(GDMT) significantly decreases cardiovascular death and hospitalizations in chronic heart failure (CHF) with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (heart failure with reduced ejection fraction [HFrEF]) 2 As such, it can result in an increase in survival of between 5 and 6 years compared to standard therapy. 3 Despite the clear benefits of GDMT, underimplementation is a common problem in clinical practice and a significant proportion of patients with heart failure (HF) do not receive adequately titrated GDMT.The present work by Moghaddam et al 4 brings to the table 3 different and important ingredients: the known underuse of medical therapy in HF; the vulnerable population being studied (after a hospitalization); and the different phenotypes of HF being considered (ie, de novo vs a decompensation of CHF). This study aimed to establish the eligibility of patients with HFrEF or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) for the initiation GDMT following hospitalization for HF. To do so, 809 consecutive patients from the Canadian Heart Failure Registry were analyzed. Moghaddam et al 4 defined
