The withdrawal of long-term treatment can follow 1 of 4 distinct patterns: 1) loss of on-treatment effect with no observed changes following discontinuation (eg, prazosin); 2) attenuation or loss of on-treatment effect with rebound clinical worsening following discontinuation (eg, nitroprusside); 3) persistence of deleterious on-treatment effect followed by clinical worsening after discontinuation (eg, milrinone and flosequinan); and 4) persistence of favorable on-treatment effect followed by clinical worsening after discontinuation (eg, digoxin and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors). Persuasive evidence for persistence of efficacy has been demonstrated for the use of digoxin, diuretic agents, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, and (to a limited extent) for angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. Available evidence for worsening of clinical status following the withdrawal of neurohormonal antagonists largely consists of observational studies. However, their findings are difficult to interpret because of considerable confounding related to the fact that drugs were withdrawn for clinical reasons, which represented a more important contributor to the poor outcome of these patients than the withdrawal of an effective drug. Nevertheless, the totality of available evidence points to a meaningful clinical deterioration within a few weeks following the withdrawal for most drugs that have been evaluated for the treatment of heart failure. These findings suggests that that our current emphasis on the implementation of foundational drugs needs to include an equally important emphasis to avoid even short-term gaps in treatment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17187,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American College of Cardiology","volume":"84 22","pages":"Pages 2215-2232"},"PeriodicalIF":21.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142487566","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
