Efficacy and Safety of the Kidney Function–Based Finerenone Dosing Strategy Used in FINEARTS-HF
In FINEARTS-HF, an eGFR-based dosing strategy allowed effective and safe use of finerenone in patients with heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction/ heart failure with preserved ejection fraction with a baseline eGFR as low as 25 mL/min/1.73 m<sup>2</sup>. We recommend that clinicians implement the trial-validated dosing strategy and incorporate appropriate uptitration to the target dose to ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes.
