Pharmaco-disparities in heart failure: a survey of the affordability of guideline recommended therapy in 10 countries.

There was marked variation between countries in the retail price of HFrEF GDMT.

Publicly funded drug programmes in lower income countries increased affordability but limited access to newer HFrEF GDMT classes. Pharmaco-disparities must be addressed to improve HFrEF outcomes globally.
