Community-Based Outreach for People Living With Methamphetamine-Associated Cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT: Methamphetamine-associated cardiomyopathy continues to grow within the United States. Although initiation of guideline-directed medical therapy and cessation of methamphetamine are cornerstones of therapy, many barriers to guideline-directed medical therapy use exist for patients with methamphetamine-associated cardiomyopathy. This paper presents a case series of patients who demonstrated profound clinical and echocardiographic improvement with engagement in a community heart failure program paired with the use of alarmed pill containers to target medication adherence.
