ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effectiveness and safety of two different types of heart failure medications: ARNI (Angiotensin Receptor Neprilysin Inhibitors) and ACE inhibitors/ARBs (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme inhibitors/Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers). The aim is to see which medication works better for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), a condition where the heart doesn't pump blood as well as it should. By comparing these treatments in real-world settings, the study hopes to identify any unmet needs in patient care and help shape future healthcare policies regarding heart failure treatments in Korea.

To participate in this trial, you need to be diagnosed with heart failure, specifically with certain conditions related to your heart and kidneys. Eligible participants are generally adults aged 65 and older who have been hospitalized for heart failure. If you join the study, you will receive one of the two medications and be monitored for how well it works for you, as well as any side effects. This research is important as it could lead to better treatment options for heart failure patients and help improve their quality of life.
