Bridging the gap in heart failure management: the effect of a cross-disciplinary intervention on guidelines-directed medical therapy in primary care
The HISS study demonstrates that a cross-disciplinary, case-based educational intervention was associated with improved GDMT adherence (especially SGLT2i and ARNI) and reduced ambulatory healthcare utilization in primary care patients with chronic stable HF. These findings underscore the importance of bridging the gap between specialist and primary care to optimize HF management.
