Use of ACE inhibitor, ARB, or ARNI therapy has been associated with improved outcomes in patients with reduced LVEF. Long-term therapy with ARBs have also been shown to reduce morbidity and mortality, especially in ACE inhibitor–intolerant patients. More recently, ARNI therapy has also been shown to more significantly improve outcomes, such that the newest guidelines recommend replacement of ACE inhibitors or ARBs with ARNI therapy in eligible patients. However, despite the benefits of these drugs, use of ACE inhibitor, ARB, or ARNI remains suboptimal. |

| Clinical Recommendation Statement | *See CMS135v10.html | *See CMS135v11.html |
In patients with Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) and New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II to III symptoms, the use of ARNI is recommended to reduce morbidity and mortality (Class I, Level of Evidence A) (ACC/AHA/HFSA, 2022). In patients with previous or current symptoms of chronic HFrEF, the use of ACEi is beneficial to reduce morbidity and mortality when the use of ARNI is not feasible (Class I, Level of Evidence A) (ACC/AHA/HFSA, 2022). In patients with previous or current symptoms of chronic HFrEF who are intolerant to ACEi because of cough or angioedema and when the use of ARNI is not feasible, the use of ARB is recommended to reduce morbidity and mortality. (Class I, Level of Evidence A) (ACC/AHA/HFSA, 2022). In patients with chronic symptomatic HFrEF NYHA class II or III who tolerate an ACEi or ARB, replacement by an ARNI is recommended to further reduce morbidity and mortality (Class I, Level of Evidence B-R) (ACC/AHA/HFSA, 2022). ARNI should not be administered concomitantly with ACEi or within 36 hours of the last dose of an ACEi (Class II: Harm, Level of Evidence B-R) (ACC/AHA/HFSA, 2022). ARNI should not be administered to patients with any history of angioedema (Class III: Harm, Level of Evidence C-LD) (ACC/AHA/HFSA, 2022). ACEi should not be administered to patients with any history of angioedema (Class III: Harm, Level of Evidence C-LD) (ACC/AHA/HFSA, 2022). Drugs Commonly Used for Stage C HFrEF (abbreviated to align with focus of measure to include only ACE inhibitors, ARB and ARNI therapy) Drug Initial Daily Dose(s) Target Dose(s) Mean Doses Achieved in Clinical Trials ACEi Captopril 6.25 mg 3 times 50 mg 3 times 122.7 mg total daily Enalapril 2.5 mg twice 10 to 20 mg twice 16.6 mg total daily Fosinopril 5 to 10 mg once 40 mg once N/A Lisinopril 2.5 to 5 mg once 20 to 40 mg once 32.5 to 35.0 mg total daily Perindopril 2 mg once 8 to 16 mg once N/A Quinapril 5 mg twice 20 mg twice N/A Ramipril 1.25 to 2.5 mg once 10 mg once N/A Trandolapril 1 mg once 4 mg once N/A ARB Candesartan 4 to 8 mg once 32 mg once 24 mg total daily Losartan 25 to 50 mg once 50 to 150 mg once 129 mg total daily Valsartan 20 to 40 mg twice 160 mg twice 254 mg total daily ARNI Sacubitril- 49/51 mg twice 97/103 mg twice 182/193 mg valsartan (sacubitril/valsartan) (sacubitril/valsartan) (sacubitril/valsartan) total (therapy may be initiated daily at 24/26 mg twice) |
In patients with Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) and New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II to III symptoms, the use of ARNI is recommended to reduce morbidity and mortality (Class I, Level of Evidence A) (Heidenreich et al., 2022). In patients with previous or current symptoms of chronic HFrEF, the use of angiotension-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) is beneficial to reduce morbidity and mortality when the use of ARNI is not feasible (Class I, Level of Evidence A) (Heidenreich et al., 2022). In patients with previous or current symptoms of chronic HFrEF who are intolerant to ACEi because of cough or angioedema and when the use of ARNI is not feasible, the use of ARB is recommended to reduce morbidity and mortality.

Prescribed - prescription given to the patient for ACE inhibitor or ARB or ARNI therapy at one or more visits in the measurement period OR patient already taking ACE inhibitor or ARB or ARNI therapy as documented in current medication list. LVEF <=40% corresponds to qualitative documentation of moderate dysfunction or severe dysfunction (LVSD). The LVSD may be determined by quantitative or qualitative assessment, which may be current or historical. Examples of a quantitative or qualitative assessment may include an echocardiogram: 1) that provides a numerical value of LVSD or 2) that uses descriptive terms such as moderately or severely depressed left ventricular systolic function. Any current or prior ejection fraction study documenting LVSD can be used to identify patients. |

| Guidance |
This eCQM is to be reported as patient-based or episode-based, depending on the clinical setting. To satisfy this measure, it must be reported for all heart failure patients at least once during the measurement period if seen in the outpatient setting. If the patient has an eligible inpatient discharge during the measurement period, as defined in the measure logic, it is expected to be reported at each hospital discharge. The requirement of two or more visits used in Population Criteria 1 is to establish that the eligible professional or eligible clinician has an existing relationship with the patient. A range value should satisfy the logic requirement for 'Ejection Fraction' as long as the ranged observation value clearly meets the less than 40% threshold noted in the denominator logic. A range that is inclusive of or greater than 40% would not meet the measure requirement. Eligible clinicians who have given a prescription for or whose patient is already taking an Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitor (ACEI) or Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (ARB) would meet performance for this measure. Other combination therapies that consist of an ACEI plus diuretic, ARB + neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), ARB plus diuretic, ACEI plus calcium channel blocker, ARB plus calcium channel blocker, or ARB plus calcium channel blocker plus diuretic would also meet performance for this measure. This version of the eCQM uses QDM version 5.5. Please refer to the eCQI resource center for more information on the QDM. |
