In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Background: Heart Failure (HF) is the second most common cause of hospitalizations for women in North America. Non-adherence to guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) is associated with 50% of all treatment failures and high rates of hospitalizations and death. A recent Canadian study showed that adherence to three or more GDMT medications occurred in only 20% of Canadian HF patients. Despite clear guidelines on the pharmacologic management of HF and the introduction of new and effective drugs, adherence to GDMT in women with HF is low. Furthermore, the rates of hospitalizations have not improved in Canada over the last decade, and mortality in Canadian women with HF remains high. One explanation may be that social determinants of health (SDOH), which are known to be strong predictors of both adherence and adverse outcomes in HF, have not specifically been targeted to improve either a
