Implementation will require updated electronic decision support to avoid under-treatment of the former mildly reduced group.

Next studies must track real-world adherence and five-year mortality after these simplifications take effect in national formularies.

ESC Registry Leads: 12-month post-publication audit will show 18% rise in MRA prescriptions among LVEF 41-49% patients in participating centers.
