Implementation of the Get With The Guidelines-Heart Failure Adherence to Science, Implementation in Asia (GWTG-HF A.S.I.A.) Program in Taiwan.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) improves outcomes in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, yet its adoption across Asia remains suboptimal. The American Heart Association launched the GWTG-HF A.S.I.A. (Get With The Guidelines-Heart Failure Adherence to Science, Implementation in Asia) program in 2021. We examined the association between program participation and GDMT implementation in Taiwan.

Methods

We analyzed 1991 patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction enrolled in the Taiwan Society of Cardiology HF Registry (2021-2024). Four hospitals participated in the GWTG-HF A.S.I.A. program (n=462) and 23 nonparticipating hospitals served as controls (n=1529). After propensity-score matching, prescription trends of 4-pillar GDMTs were
