   In Europe there were contraindications for use in heart failure and combination with insulin. [17] A meta analysis of all trials from 2010 and 2019 confirmed a higher risk of heart failure and a double risk when rosiglitazone was administered as add-on therapy to insulin.

3. Ivabradine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivabradine

   A note of caution must be emphasised. Ivabradine, though indicated for chronic heart failure in patients who are clinically stable, is not indicated in acute heart failure where the enhanced heart rate represents cardiac reserve. Indiscriminate use of Ivabradine could destabilise these patients.

   Heart failure with recovered ejection fraction (HFrecovEF or HFrecEF): patients previously with HFrEF with complete normalization of left ventricular ejection (≥50%). [64] [65] Heart failure may also be classified as acute or chronic. Chronic heart failure is a long-term condition, usually kept stable by the treatment of symptoms.

6. Sacubitril/valsartan - Wikipedia

   Taken individually, the reductions in cardiovascular death and heart failure hospitalizations retained statistical significance. [18] Relative to enalapril, sacubitril/valsartan provided reductions [46] [47] in: the composite endpoint of cardiovascular death or hospitalization for heart failure (incidence 21.8% vs 26.5%)

7. Contraindication - Wikipedia

8. Management of heart failure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_of_heart_failure

   Sleep apnea is an under-recognized risk factor for heart failure. Uncontrolled sleep apnea may increase the risk of heart failure by up to 140%. [4] Weight reduction – through physical activity and dietary modification, as obesity is a risk factor for heart failure and left ventricular hypertrophy. Effective weight management has been shown ...

9. Spironolactone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spironolactone

   For this reason, men are typically not prescribed spironolactone for any longer than a short period of time, e.g., for an acute exacerbation of heart failure. A newer medication, eplerenone, has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of heart failure, and lacks the antiandrogenic effects of spironolactone ...
