About the episode

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.
