In HFmrEF or HFrEF, digitalis glycosides reduce a composite of CV death or worsening HF event vs. placebo at a median 36 to 37 mo

Listen to this summary

The authors investigate whether digitalis glycosides can reduce the risk of cardiovascular death or worsening heart failure events in patients with heart failure with mid-range or reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF or HFrEF). Their findings indicate that treatment with digitalis glycosides is associated with a significant reduction in this composite outcome compared to placebo over a median follow-up period of 36 to 37 months.
