Andrew Bellinger, a cardiologist, was inspired to tackle the problem based on data showing heart attack patients were not consistently taking their medication. “These are patients who had a serious, life-threatening problem,” says Bellinger. “They were hospitalized and prescribed medication for the problem and to prevent it from recurring. Still, the adherence rate to the medication, six months out, was about 45 percent. When the medicines were then delivered to patient’s houses for free, the adherence rate only improved by eight percent. I knew we had to do more to help these patients. Even a small improvement in the adherence rate can help save lives.”

Although several previous cross-sectional studies have shown an association between low antihypertensive medication adherence and poor HRQOL, only a few data exist on the effect of low adherence on change in HRQOL over time in older adults. For this purpose, researchers evaluated the association of low antihypertensive medication adherence with the decline in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) over 1 year.
