Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Finerenone is a new selective nonsteroidal mineral corticoid receptor antagonist (MRA), nowadays it's widely used in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), the newest trial shows finerenone improve the cardiovascular outcomes among patients with T2DM and CKD especially reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart failure. In patients with diabetic nephropathy, finerenone resulted in lower risks of CKD progression and cardiovascular events. Finerenone shows great potential therapeutic effect in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients with or without T2DM and CKD compared to eplerenone, but there is still no real world study on finerenone in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and it's unclear about the effect of finerenone in CHF patients without T2DM and CKD. The investigators will conduct a study to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of finerenone in HFrEF patients compared to other MRAs.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

HFrEF patients who accept finerenone therapy

Patients with HFrEF receive finerenone 10mg or 20mg daily treatment for 3 months in addition to other medications.

No interventions assigned to this group

HFrEF patients who accept Spironolactone or eplerenone therapy

Patients with HFrEF receive spironolactone or eplerenone treatment daily treatment for 3 months in addition to other medications.

No interventions assigned to this group
