guidelines for the management of HF2 and the German clinical practice guideline on chronic HF3 that acknowledge the available evidence of pharmacist care and interdisciplinary care.4,5 Topics and tasks include prevention of HF, particularly by improving adherence to antihypertensives, providing medication reviews, assuring appropriate self-medication, and improving both medication safety and adherence.4 We congratulate Kalmanovich et al. to their research plan. Their study will hopefully provide additional randomized evidence for the effects of interdisciplinary care in patients with HF.
