Optimizing Heart Failure Care in Pakistan : Lessons From UAE Cardiac Center Models.

Heart failure (HF) is a major health concern in Pakistan with high rehospitalization rates and low adherence to guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT). On the other hand, UAE has implemented effective HF care strategies, including the Get With The Guidelines®️ Heart Failure program, pharmacist-led interventions, and multidisciplinary training, which have improved adherence, reduced hospitalizations and improved quality of life. These differences and the UAE's scalable methods are shown by several studies from Pakistani and UAE sources (2000–2024). By standardizing procedures, including pharmacists, treating comorbidities like iron deficiency, and establishing national registries, Pakistan may be able to lower the burden of heart failure, enhance patient outcomes, and save lives.
