Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction Polypill Implementation Strategy in India: A Convergent Parallel Mixed Methods Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

A polypill-based implementation strategy has been proposed to increase rates of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. This has the potential to improve mortality and morbidity in India and undertreated populations globally.

Methods

We conducted a convergent parallel mixed methods study integrating quantitative data from stakeholder surveys using modified implementation science outcome measures and qualitative data from key informant in-depth interviews.
