<description><![CDATA[<p>Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) continues to pose significant clinical challenges despite advances in therapy. Guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), including quadruple therapy, has been shown to improve outcomes, yet remains underutilized in practice.<br /><br />This activity will review the mechanisms and key outcomes data supporting quadruple therapy, as well as additional pharmacologic options for HFrEF management. Participants will also explore patient-specific factors that influence therapy optimization and identify common barriers to GDMT implementation, along with practical strategies to overcome them and improve patient outcomes.<br /><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #000000;"><br /><br /></span><strong><span style="color: #00205b;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Course Details</span></span></strong></span>
