Trial design

Maintenance of neurohormonal treatment (continuation/standard care) versus withdrawal of neurohormonal treatment (discontinuation of neurohormonal medications). Specific drug names are the patients' existing neurohormonal medications (e.g., ACE inhibitors, ARBs, beta-blockers, MRAs, SGLT2 inhibitors) as per eligibility; no fixed dose/schedule stated for comparator in registry record.-controlled trial across 6 sites in Spain.
