Abstract 251: Gender Equity in Rates of Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy Prescription at Discharge for Hospitalized Heart Failure Patients [Session Title: Poster Session PM]

Conclusions: In this sample of hospitalized heart failure patients, no difference was found in rates of GDMT prescription for women as compared to men. Readmission rates were significantly higher for men than women, consistent with national data. Further investigation will determine the extent to which equity in prescription rates translates into improved outcomes for women hospitalized with heart failure.
