NCT ID NCT06675552
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether training doctors on quickly starting and adjusting heart failure medications (called GDMT) during a hospital stay leads to better treatment after discharge. About 438 adults with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction will be observed across multiple hospitals. The goal is to see if the training helps more patients get the right combination of drugs at the right doses.
