Do medication adherence interventions reduce mortality and readmission rates in heart failure patients?
Interventions to improve medication adherence significantly reduce readmissions and mortality in heart failure patients, supporting their inclusion in routine follow-up and self-care programs.
Interventions to improve medication adherence among HF patients have significant effects on reducing readmissions and decreasing mortality. Medication adherence should be addressed in regular follow-up visits with HF patients, and interventions to improve adherence should be a key part of HF self-care programs.
