Improving medication adherence in advanced heart failure
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether patients with severe heart failure follow their prescribed medications as recommended by treatment guidelines. The researchers want to understand what helps or prevents patients from taking their medicines correctly, which could improve their heart function and symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 18 and 74 years old
- Heart pumping function (ejection fraction) of 35% or lower
- Moderate-to-severe heart failure symptoms that limit daily activities (New York Heart Association class III or IV)
- Currently taking high-dose water pills (Furosemide) of more than 50 mg per day
- At least one sign that your heart failure is difficult to control, such as needing stronger medicines over time, not tolerating your current medications well, or ongoing symptoms despite advanced treatments like pacemakers or valve procedures
