Effect of SGLT2 Inhibitors on the Incidence of Right Ventricular Dysfunction in Patients with Chronic Heart Failure

by Prateek Chopra | May 30, 2026 | Cardiology Conferences | ESC-HF 2026 Right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) is a major complication of left ventricular heart failure (LVHF), and although neurohormonal modulation improves prognosis in LVHF, its impact on reducing RVD incidence remains limited. Data regarding the association between sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and RVD incidence are currently lacking. This study

The Real-world Use of Benefit-unproven ARBs in HFrEF: Clinical Outcomes andPrescrip on Pa erns

by Prateek Chopra | May 29, 2026 | Cardiology Conferences | ESC-HF 2026 In the contemporary management of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF; LVEF <40%), angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) remain widely prescribed despite the increasing use of angiotensin receptor–neprilysin inhibitors. While valsartan, candesartan, and losartan have established clinical benefit in HFrEF, the outcomes associated with other ARBs remain

Impact of Sacubitril/Valsartan on Lipid Parameters in Pa ents with Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction

by Prateek Chopra | May 28, 2026 | Cardiology Conferences | ESC-HF 2026 Long-term modulation of lipid metabolism with angiotensin receptor–neprilysin inhibition in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction remains incompletely characterised, despite evidence suggesting metabolic effects mediated through neprilysin inhibition and enhanced natriuretic peptide signalling. This study evaluated the longitudinal effects of sacubitril/valsartan on lipid parameters and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic

Is there Really a Clinical Benefit to Using the New Drugs for HFrEF in Real Life

by Prateek Chopra | May 28, 2026 | Cardiology Conferences | ESC-HF 2026 Since 2017, several new therapies demonstrating clinical benefit in patients with HF and reduced left LVEF have been approved for clinical use. However, real-world evidence regarding the benefits of these therapies remains limited. The study aimed to analyse the characteristics and prognosis of patients with HFrEF prospectively followed

Door-to-GDMT Time: The Effect of De Novo Diagnosis of Heart Failure on Guideline-directed Medical Therapy Optimisation During the Rapid-up Titration Programme and on Prognosis

by Prateek Chopra | May 27, 2026 | Cardiology Conferences | ESC-HF 2026 Early initiation of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) has shown significant prognostic benefits in heart failure (HF). Despite strong evidence for life-saving drug therapy, previous real-world registries of chronic HF patients have consistently revealed low prescription rates and underdosing of GDMT. Accordingly, the 2023 ESC HF guidelines recommend rapid

Cardiac Contractility Modula on vs Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy in Symptomatic HFrEF with Narrow QRS: An Updated Systema c Review and Meta-Analysis

by Prateek Chopra | May 27, 2026 | Cardiology Conferences | ESC-HF 2026 Cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) is an implantable device-based therapy developed for patients with symptomatic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and narrow QRS complexes who are not eligible for cardiac resynchronization therapy. Earlier studies demonstrated improvements in exercise tolerance and symptoms with CCM; however, more recent randomized

STOP-DHF (A Non-invasive Hemodynamic-guided Strategy to Prevent Heart Failure Decompensation) Trial: Preliminary Results of Medical Therapy Interventions Study

by Prateek Chopra | May 26, 2026 | Cardiology Conferences | ESC-HF 2026 Elevated left ventricular filling pressures (LVFP) often precede heart failure (HF) decompensation by several days or weeks, creating an opportunity for early therapeutic intervention. Non-invasive remote hemodynamic monitoring may enable timely and targeted medication adjustments to prevent worsening HF and improve outcomes. The STOP-DHF trial evaluated the impact

VECTOR-HF II: Preliminary Insights on Physician-Directed Patient Self-Management in HF

by Prateek Chopra | May 26, 2026 | Cardiology Conferences | ESC-HF 2026 Implantable hemodynamic monitoring has been associated with reduced heart failure (HF) hospitalizations through earlier detection of congestion and more individualized treatment adjustments. A patient self-management (PSM) strategy guided by physicians may further improve adherence, reduce dependence on frequent caregiver intervention, and enable timely optimization of therapy.

The Prognostic Role of Regular NT-proBNP Measurement A er a Rapid-Up Titration Programme of Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy in Heart Failure: Essential or Superfluous?

by Prateek Chopra | May 25, 2026 | Cardiology Conferences | ESC-HF 2026 N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is an important prognostic biomarker in heart failure (HF). The 2023 ESC HF Guidelines recommend rapid up-titration (RT) of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) following an index HF hospitalization; however, the prognostic significance of NT-proBNP changes after a rapid titration programme (RTP) remains uncertain.
