摘要
Aldosterone antagonists decrease the mortality of patients with heart failure, but an observational study by Albert and colleagues has found that a surprisingly low number of patients receive aldosterone antagonists before discharge from hospital. This article highlights potential reasons for why there is such an underuse of efficient drugs in heart failure.
