Abstract:
Nonadherence is a significant medical problem in the United States, leading to excessive morbidity, mortality, and medical costs. In the conclusion to this two-part article, the authors describe a pilot study involving 311 patients taking an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor that evaluates the principal factors for nonadherence to pharmaceutical therapy in patients with congestive heart failure.
