Implementation of Guideline-Directed medical therapy and factors in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To evaluate the implementation of guideline-directed medical therapy and identify associated clinical factors among patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) receiving follow-up at Asella Referral and Teaching Hospital, Ethiopia.

Methods

We conducted a hospital-based cross-sectional study involving 156 patients with HFrEF attending follow-up at Asella Referral and Teaching Hospital from October to December 2023.
