The main questions it aims to answer are:\n\nDoes withdrawal of MRAs lead to a reduction in left ventricular ejection fraction greater than 10%, resulting in a final LVEF below 40%? Does withdrawal of MRAs cause a relative increase in NT-proBNP levels greater than 50% above age-adjusted thresholds? Researchers will compare MRAs withdrawal (placebo) with continuation of therapy to determine whether medication withdrawal can be performed safely without worsening heart failure status.\n\nParticipants will:\n\nAttend scheduled clinical visits over a 24-week follow-up period; Undergo echocardiographic evaluation of left ventricular ejection fraction before study visits; Provide blood samples for NT-proBNP measurement at each visit; Provide one blood sample for genetic analysis of polymorphisms related to the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system; Receive either continued MRA therapy or placebo as part of a double-blind randomized design; Be monitored for clinical stability, symptoms of heart failure, and potential adverse events during follow-up.",[77],"Heart Failure","2026-03-25",{"date":80,"type":81},"2026-03-30","ACTUAL",{"date":83,"type":81},"2025-03-01",{"date":85,"type":70},"2026-12-31",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
