Heart failure patients are generally multi-morbid and at risk for hyperkalemia, which makes treatment with life-saving therapies like RAASi difficult and leads to compromised medical treatment and in turn poor outcomes. This trials showed that with the use of patiromer, one can simultaneously lower the risk of hyperkalemia and increase optimal medical therapy for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
In this interview, Javed Butler, MD MPH MBA, Anthony N. DeMaria MD, MACC, with Ioannis Mastoris, MD, MPHcand, discuss the Late Breaker: DIAMOND trial: Patiromer For The Management Of Hyperkalemia In Subjects Receiving Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone System Inhibitor Medications For Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction.
