Part 1 | Session 1 The CLEAR-Outcomes Trial with Dr Harriette Van Spall & Dr Steven Nissen
ACC.23/WCC — Join Late-Breaker host, Dr Harriette Van Spall (McMaster University, CA) and investigator, Dr Amrita Mukhopadhyay (NYU School of Medicine, US) in their engaging discussion on the BETTER CARE-HF trial.
The BETTER CARE-HF trial investigated the effectiveness of two electronic clinical decision support (CDS) tools to support prescribing proven therapies for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
The trial developed two targeted CDS tools and compared their effectiveness against usual care on the primary outcome of MRA prescribing. The trial included 1,859 patients who were randomized across >50 practices and 180 cardiologists. BETTER CARE-HF is the first study to directly compare the effectiveness of an alert and message to improve prescribing.
Recorded remotely from Hamilton and New York, 2023.
Our regular review series View from the Thoraxcenter, hosted by Prof Nicolas Van Mieghem and Dr Joost Daemen (Thoraxcentre, Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, NL) provides a critical analysis of the late-breaking and featured science results and spotlights impactful data.
For a deeper look into the key clinical trial data revealed at ACC 23, Dr Harriette Van Spall (McMaster University, Hamilton, CA) interviews the principal investigators in her regular Late-Breaker Discussion Series.
For short, concise coverage of the key data revealed, our accessible Expert Interviews were conducted with select faculty, focussing on the results, applicability and impact on future research.
