Heart Failure Clinical Trial
— VIGILANTOfficial title:
Improving Goal Directed Medical Therapy for Device Clinic Patients With Reduced Ejection Fraction at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute: a Quality Improvement Initiative (VIGILANT)
This is a quality improvement initiative with the goal of optimizing heart failure (HF) patients seen through the outpatient cardiac implantable electronic device clinic at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute (UOHI). The UOHI device clinic oversees more than 12,000 in-clinic patient visits annually with over 5000 visits for patients with reduced ejection fraction (EF) and HF. In patients with reduced EF, guideline directed medical therapy compliance (GDMT) is sub-optimal in real world clinical practice. Considering the most recent changes to The Canadian Cardiovascular Society heart failure guideline recommendations, the compliance rate may be even lower than reported rates in the literature. The goal of this study is to optimize GDMT through collaboration between the HF clinic, a HF/arrhythmia nurse practitioner, and application of a nurse run algorithm based pathway to identify patients suitable for medication optimization and guiding the most responsible physician (MRP) for their heart failure (PCP, cardiologist or HF physician) through a letter. The compliance rate will also be re-evaluated to assess improvement in GDMT in this patient population. GDMT will ensure the greatest chance to improve patient outcomes by reducing heart failure hospitalizations, emergency room visits, ventricular arrhythmias, implantable cardioverter defibrillator shocks, clinic visits, and thereby improving patients' quality of life.
