Abstract
Heart failure (HF) affects over 60 million individuals globally. Contemporary guideline‐directed medical therapies (GDMT) reduce cardiovascular mortality and HF hospitalizations. However, medication non‐adherence represents a critical barrier limiting real‐world efficacy of GDMT. This scientific statement aims to provide a comprehensive framework for understanding, measuring, and addressing medication non‐adherence in HF management across diverse healthcare settings. Addressing medication non‐adherence requires systematic, multifaceted approaches targeting individual patient barriers while implementing system‐level interventions. Polypills, digital monitoring platforms, enhanced patient education and empowerment, and multidisciplinary care models represent promising strategies to optimize therapeutic adherence and improve clinical outcomes in HF management.
