Applicability of Heart Failure Clinical Practice Guidelines in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
This survey examined the widely-held thought that HF guidelines are broadly applicable to all regions of the world, concluding that such a perception is incorrect. Clinicians from LMIC view the absence of consideration of local resource limitations as the greatest obstacle for guideline implementation. The results regarding HF guidelines likely also have implications for other guidelines and resultant patient outcomes.
