Conclusions: Three years after publication of the Randomized Aldactone Evaluation Study, spironolactone is underutilized in the treatment of heart failure. Results of this study indicated that the majority of patients in class III or IV heart failure were not prescribed spironolactone. Improvements in spironolactone prescribing are needed.
