ACEi, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor; ARB, angiotensin receptor blocker; ARNI, angiotensin receptor‐neprilysin inhibitor; HCT, hydrochlorothiazide; MRA, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist; SGLT2, sodium glucose cotransporter 2.

% of target dose ranges from 0 to 100 and indicates how much of the recommended target dose in heart failure is achieved. For furosemide equivalent dose: 40 mg furosemide = 1 mg bumetanide = 20 mg torsemide. For HCT equivalent dose: 25 mg hydrochlorothiazide = 25 mg chlortalidone = 2.5 mg metolazone = 1.25 mg indapamide.

P‐value in bold indicates P < 0.05.
