Summary

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to test the effect of patient education on extent of use of guideline directed medical treatment (GDMT) of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. The main question that our study aims to answer is if patient education can improve the adherence to GDMT in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Participants will receive educations about GDMT benefits in 1,3 and 5 months after discharge from hospital.
