Overview

May inform age-specific GDMT uptake in HFrEF; leaves open whether gaps reflect contraindications or under-treatment in real-world elderly.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), specifically discussing older age strata.
I
Intervention
Guideline-recommended therapies for HFrEF (pharmacological and device interventions including CRT and ICD).

Prescribing inertia and age discrimination in HFrEF management lead to suboptimal care in older patients, highlighting the need for aggressive adherence to guideline-directed therapies regardless of age.
