Screening for features of advanced heart failure with reduced ejection fraction in stable outpatients - The SAINTS study

Listen to this summary

The SAINTS study aimed to identify features of advanced heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) in stable outpatients with chronic heart failure and an ejection fraction of ≤30%. The study found that approximately 6% of screened patients exhibited features of advanced HFrEF, while nearly one-third experienced hemodynamic compromise, highlighting the potential for simple clinical markers to enhance screening processes in this population.
