The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) up-titration in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.The main question it aims to answer is the improvement in prescription rate and dose uptitration of quadruple GDMT in patients with HFrEF, assessed by a weighed composite score. Participants will be randomized towards control (standard of care, SOC) or intervention group. Researchers will compare SOC with protocol-based up-titration to see if the protocolized optimization improves prescription rate of GDMT.
