Heart Failure: Biomarkers, Status, Quality-of-Life Paths

JAMA Network

About The Study: The results of this post hoc analysis of the Finerenone Trial to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety Superior to Placebo in Patients With Heart Failure (FINEARTS-HF) randomized clinical trial reveal that in this contemporary heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction cohort, sudden death was preceded by modest worsening of symptoms, declining quality of life, and rising natriuretic peptide levels, suggesting many of these events may not have been entirely sudden. However, similar deterioration preceding other modes of death suggests limited specificity for sudden death.
