About this listen

With Henrique Arfsten, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna - Austria and Alexandre Mebazza, Hospital Lariboisiere, Paris - France.

In this episode of HFA CardioTalk, Henrike Arfsten and Alexandre Mebazaa discuss the importance of rapid initiation and titration of guideline-directed medical heart failure therapy.

A focus will be on data from the STRONG-HF trial, which demonstrated safety and efficacy of rapid up-titration following an acute heart failure event. The trial was even stopped early as the benefits of the intensive treatment strategy were overwhelming. Moreover, specific questions are raised, such as the right time to start therapy and how to deal with possible side effects.
