Why the study?
Heart failure medication adherence is often poor despite being a precondition for successful treatment, prompting an overview of interventions to improve adherence.
Do patient-centric, healthcare provider-centric, and system-centric interventions improve medication adherence in heart failure patients?
Do patient-centric, healthcare provider-centric, and system-centric interventions improve medication adherence in heart failure patients?
This narrative review highlights that patient-, provider-, and system-centric interventions can improve medication adherence in heart failure patients, potentially improving outcomes and reducing costs.
Multifaceted adherence interventions may warrant consideration in HF; leaves open whether they improve outcomes in RCTs.
Heart failure is one of the critical and most costly medical challenges of the 21st century. It is a chronic debilitating condition and adherence to medication, a precondition for successful treatment is often poor. There are various interventions for improving the adherence. Depending on the goal of the intervention, these are roughly patient centric, healthcare provider centric and system centric. We provide an overview of these interventions with a focus on effectiveness and appropriateness in different clinical situations. Their use can lead to improved patient outcomes and reduced economic burden of the disease.
