earlier and more aggressive treatment for systolic heart failure
March 1999
The trend now is towards earlier and more aggressive treatment for systolic heart failure.
Most patients do best on a four-drug combination of ACE inhibitor...diuretic...beta-blocker...and digoxin.
Right now, not enough heart failure patients get ACE inhibitors and beta-blockers. Only 40% are on ACE inhibitors...usually at lower doses than are needed for CHF. Only 5% are on beta-blockers.
