Excerpt

Dr. Vicidomini, Dr. Zanobetti, Dr. Innocenti: A 69-year-old Caucasian woman was admitted to our emergency department (ED) for an acute and initial episode of substernal chest pain radiating to the left arm, which had lasted about 1 h, associated with dyspnea and diaphoresis. She had a past medical history of depression and first stage primary biliary cirrhosis. She was taking chronic low-dose sotalol therapy (80 mg PO bid) for a prior episode of supraventricular tachycardia. She had an otherwise normal heart, and was without cardiovascular risk factors. …

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
