Background: IMPLEMENT-HF demonstrated a virtual team-based care strategy was safe and improved prescription of guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT) in hospitalized patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). We evaluated differences in efficacy and safety outcomes by ethnicity in IMPLEMENT-HF.
Methods: IMPLEMENT-HF evaluated a provider-facing virtual team-based care strategy vs.

Despite significant advances in the management of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), data concerning older patients remain limited. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the implementation of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) in older patients with HFrEF along with cardiac events and variation in clinical and echocardiographic parameters during follow-up in a heart failure (HF) clinic. We conducted a retrospective observational analysis of patients with HFrEF aged ≥ 80 years who attended an HF clinic between March 2022 and February 2023.

Background: Significant gap remains in the implementation of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) in patients with heart failure after a hospitalization. We aimed to evaluate the use and titration of GDMT at discharge and over a 12-month period after hospital discharge and to identify factors associated with GDMT use and titration.
Methods And Results: The CONNECT-HF (Care Optimization Through Patient and Hospital Engagement Clinical Trial for Heart Failure) trial evaluated the effect of a hospital and postdischarge quality improvement intervention in participants with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
