A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring
As an example, the STRONG-HF (Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Rapid Optimization, Helped by NT-proBNP Testing, of Heart Failure Therapies) trial showed that among patients admitted to the hospital with acute HF, high-intensity management that included rapid up-titration of GDMT and close follow-up, with a goal of reaching target doses within 6 weeks of discharge after hospitalization, was safe, well-tolerated, and associated with a reduced risk of 180-day all-cause death or HF readmission compared with usual care.18,19 Finally, the VICTORIA (Vericiguat Global Study in Patients With Heart Failure and Reduced Ejection Fraction) trial showed that in higher-risk patients with HFrEF already on GDMT with worsening symptoms, the oral soluble guanylyl cyclase stimulator vericiguat was superior to placebo in reducing the risk of HF hospitalization and/or CV death
