Improving medication management for older adults with heart failure
A Novel Deprescribing Intervention for Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF): A Prototype for Older Adults with Multimorbidity and Polypharmacy
This study is looking for ways to help older adults with heart failure and other health issues take fewer medications safely, by working with doctors to make better choices and involving patients in understanding their treatment.

What this research studies
This research focuses on developing a new approach to safely reduce the number of medications taken by older adults with heart failure and multiple chronic conditions. The project aims to create and test strategies that help healthcare providers make better prescribing decisions, ultimately improving patient outcomes. By involving patients in shared decision-making, the research seeks to enhance their understanding and management of their medications. The study will be conducted with the guidance of experienced mentors in geriatrics and cardiology.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are older adults diagnosed with heart failure who are also managing multiple chronic conditions and taking several medications.
Not a fit: Patients who are younger or do not have heart failure or multiple chronic conditions may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to safer and more effective medication regimens for older adults, reducing the risks associated with polypharmacy.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that deprescribing interventions can improve outcomes for older adults, suggesting that this approach may be effective.
