Abstract

The 2023 update of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines recommends (classIA) the administration of sodium-glucose transporter 2inhibitors (SGLT2i) also for patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and mildly reduced EF (HFmrEF). Thus, SGLT2i are the only medication that should be given to all heart failure patients for improvement of prognosis independent of left ventricular EF. The rapid administration of the fantastic four drugs and their prompt titration after aheart failure decompensation is now included in the guidelines with a class IB recommendation. For patients with reduced EF (HFrEF) or HFmrEF and iron deficiency there is now a class IIa recommendation for intravenous administration of ferric carboxymaltose or ferric derisomaltose.
