In their single center cohort (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 254 completers), 59% of patients encountered ≥ 1 AE (hypotension, bradycardia, hyperkalemia, renal dysfunction) hindering GDMT titration [&lt;span&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;]. Notably, younger, nonischemic patients more often reached target doses. These observations underscore the reality that, despite guidelines advocating quadruple therapy (ARNi/ACEi/ARB, beta-blockers, MRA, SGLT2i) for HFrEF [&lt;span&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;] real world implementation lags: fewer than one in five eligible patients currently receive all four classes [&lt;span&gt;5&lt;/span&gt;].&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Velasco et al. are to be commended for quantifying AE rates within an intensive titration program and for analyzing predictors of submaximal dosing (e.g., older age and atrial fibrillation predicted lower beta blocker titration) [&lt;span&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;]. This granular approach highlights important heterogeneity: for example, patients without hypertension or with atrial fibrillation had more difficulty up titrating renin angiotensin blockers [&lt;span&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;]. Such findings point to the need for personalized strategies. However, the study's retrospective, single center design and focus on program completers may limit generalizability. Patients who discontinued the program (perhaps due to severe intolerance) were excluded; thus the true burden of AEs may be underestimated. Only four AE domains were assessed, omitting others (e.g., volume depletion, gastrointestinal symptoms, or device-related issues) that can also limit GDMT. Finally, standardized definitions of “titration limiting” AEs were not detailed. As the authors note, establishing uniform AE criteria is essential for comparing programs and guiding practice [&lt;span&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;].&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Importantly, Velasco's results should be interpreted alongside broader barriers to GDMT uptake. Systematic reviews and registry data have documented multifactorial obstacles including clinician inertia, patient comorbidities, socioeconomic factors, and health system challenges that suppress GDMT use [&lt;span&gt;2, 5&lt;/span&gt;]. The 2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA guideline reiterates that quadruple GDMT markedly improves survival and symptoms, yet emphasizes tailoring therapy to individual patient risk/benefit profiles [&lt;span&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;]. Similarly, recent ACC consensus guidance highlights “special cohorts” (older adults, frailty, coexisting organ dysfunction, and socioeconomic barriers) that necessitate flexible GDMT strategies [&lt;span&gt;6&lt;/span&gt;]. In this light, Velasco's finding that obesity was associated with higher titration success may reflect survivor bias or phenotype differences, and warrants further study.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Where Velasco et al. add value is by quantifying how often AEs intrude on a dedicated titration effort. Their high AE rate parallels other quality improvement","PeriodicalId":10201,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Cardiology","volume":"48 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/clc.70206","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145021937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A critical clinical question is examined by Escolar Conesa et al that: Does a patient with native valvular disease (EHRA-2) have a different prognosis than a patient without valve involvement (EHRA-3) in anticoagulated patients with atrial fibrillation (AF)? The authors report significantly higher rates of major bleeding, cardiovascular mortality, heart failure, and MACE in EHRA-2 patients in a large multicenter cohort (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 1399) with a median follow-up of approximately 910 days. They also demonstrate that EHRA-2 status remained an independent predictor following multivariable adjustment [&lt;span&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;].&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The authors' use of a large, real-world data set and their publication of incident rates per 100 patient-years, a clinically valuable statistic, are commendable. Their straightforward explanation of baseline differences and Cox models makes the main point very evident: native valve involvement in AF is not harmless and should be taken into consideration when determining risk and selecting anticoagulation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The immediate application of these discoveries to routine practice is limited by several challenges. Mild degenerative regurgitation, aortic stenosis, previous biological prosthesis, and other lesions are all grouped under the EHRA-2 category. These entities are pathophysiologically distinct and probably pose different risks; the observer cannot determine which valve lesions are the main drivers of the signal without lesion-specific subgroup studies [&lt;span&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;]. The study acknowledges the lack of standardized echocardiographic grading. Prognosis and treatment depend on severity (e.g., mild vs. moderate aortic stenosis or regurgitation); combining all native lesions into one category runs the danger of misclassifying clinical risk [&lt;span&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;]. EHRA-2 patients had higher HAS-BLED and CHA₂DS₂-VASc scores and were older. The connection may be partially explained by unmeasured confounders (frailty, frail-functional status, and hemodynamics related to the valves), even if adjusted models partially address this. After substantial correction, previous research indicated that the EHRA-2 signal attenuated [&lt;span&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;]. Sicker patients or those with less access to monitoring may prefer to stay on VKA, which could explain the apparent protective correlation of DOACs vs VKAs. Causal inference would be strengthened by using instrumental variable techniques, inverse probability weighting, or propensity matching [&lt;span&gt;4&lt;/span&gt;]. Only baseline measurements of CHA₂DS₂-VASc and HAS-BLED were made; events and comorbidity accrual over ~2.5 years may change treatment and risk choices. Updated analysis would more accurately represent clinical practice [&lt;span&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;].&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Futur","PeriodicalId":10201,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Cardiology","volume":"48 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/clc.70207","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145012642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
