| Core Tip |
Heart failure (HF) in India represents a growing public health challenge, affecting patients at a younger age and predominantly driven by ischemic heart disease. In this hospital-based study from North India, most patients had HF with reduced ejection fraction and a high burden of diabetes and hypertension. Although prescription rates of guideline-directed medical therapy were relatively high, only 64% of patients received all three foundational HF drugs, and uptake of newer therapies such as angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors was low. These findings highlight critical gaps in surveillance, early risk factor control, and optimisation of evidence-based HF care in India. |
