Treatment Differences in Chronic Heart Failure Patients With Reduced Ejection Fraction According to Blood Pressure

Abstract

In this large cross-sectional cohort of patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, patients with lower systolic BP receive more HF drugs but at lower dose relative to the target dose recommended in HF guidelines. Discussion is warranted regarding what target BP is acceptable and what should be limiting factors in uptitration to adequate levels of HF medication.
