Our results suggest that advances in heart failure treatment over the past decades have reduced heart failure mortality, both at the population level and for individual patients. This is an encouraging message for the continued implementation of existing treatments, which are still underutilized, as well as for the development of new treatments."
The study showed that the improvements were more marked in patients with heart failure with reduced left ventricular function, where several life-prolonging treatments have been developed in recent decades. For patients with heart failure and preserved left ventricular function, where evidence-based treatment options are limited, improvement was slower.
