Approximately, one-fourth of patients developed hyperkalaemia during follow-up which was associated with a lower MRA dose during follow-up. Discontinuation of MRA, but not hyperkalaemia itself, was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality and heart failure admission in HFrEF patients.
