Application of recommended therapies among patients with heart failure during the Syrian conflict: reality and barriers.

Aims: Lower socio-economic status may delay and even prevent the application of guideline-directed heart failure (HF) therapy for most patients. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and possible difficulties facing the application of this treatment during the current Syrian conflict.

Methods And Results: A questionnaire on HF management and feasibility of recommended HF therapy was addressed to physicians practising cardiology in Syria.
