Implication

Both physician prescribing gaps and patient nonadherence limit evidence-based HF therapy; hypothesis-generating for targeted dual interventions.

Structured PICO

Population

692 patients with heart failure (EF < 40%) from 10 hospitals

Outcome

Physician adherence to evidence-based guidelines (prescribing beta-blocker, ACE-I, or ARB) and patient adherence (MEMS pill caps used appropriately >80% of the time)

Adherence to evidence-based therapy in heart failure is suboptimal due to a combination of both physician under-prescribing and patient nonadherence.
