The goal of this observational study is to investigate the effects of combination therapy with ARNI and inhibitors of SGLT2 in patients affected by HFrEF.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
According to the 2021 ESC guidelines for heart failure, iSGLT2 has become the cornerstone of the treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection (HFrEF) fraction, with a class of recommendation IA (1).
However, the mechanisms of action of iSGLT2 remain still little known. In particular, if the combined therapy with ARNI and iSGLT2 may have an effect in terms of left ventricular remodeling evaluated by speckle tracking echocardiography (GLS%) in patients with HFrEF at a medium-long term (3-12 months) is still to be defined (primary objective).
Furthermore, our study will aim to evaluate the clinical and echocardiographic impact of the combined therapy with ARNI + iSGLT2 in terms of left ventricular remodeling evaluated through volumetric and contractile function indices (LVEDV, LVEDD, FE%) and in terms of variation of laboratory data suggestive of decompensated heart failure (NT-pro-BNP) in patients with HFrEF at a medium-long term follow-up (3-12 months) (secondary outcomes).
