When treating heart failure, how do we distinguish between the expanding list of medications recommended for “Guideline Directed Medical Therapy” (GDMT) and what might be considered runaway polypharmacy? In this GeriPal podcast, this crucial question is tackled with cardiologists Parag Goyal, Nicole Superville, as well as Matthew Shuster, who joins as a guest host. Other topics discussed include what is heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, how is this treated (including the use of sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2’s), and how to apply guidelines to individual patients, especially those with multimorbidity who are taking several other medications.
