First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study looked at whether a dedicated clinic focused on guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) helps heart failure patients get the right combination of medications. Researchers analyzed data from 342 patients at Massachusetts General Hospital who attended the GDMT clinic and compared them to similar patients receiving usual care. The goal was to see if more patients in the clinic received all four recommended drug classes and at higher doses.
