Eplerenone in Heart Failure Treatment

Beta-blockers should be administered to all patients with heart failure stage II to IV according to NYHA.Beta-blockers reduce mortality and hospitalizations and improve the operational phase for all categories of patients with heart failure. Since beta-blockers, only carvedilol, metoprolol, bisoprolol and recently nevimpololi have shown these benefits and so, only they have evidence to be provided. Eplerenone is indicated, in addition to conventional therapy, for reducing the risk of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in stable patients with left ventricular dysfunction (LVEF ≤ 40%) and clinically proven heart failure after recent myocardial infarction.
