Does adherence to treatment performance measures improve clinical outcomes in patients with acute systolic heart failure?
Adherence to guideline-directed medical therapy at discharge, specifically ACEI/ARB and beta-blockers, is associated with significantly improved short- and long-term clinical outcomes in patients with acute systolic heart failure.
