CRD SUMMARY:

This review investigated the effectiveness of interventions to improve compliance in patients with heart failure. The authors concluded that education and counselling may be beneficial, but existing evidence is scarce and more interventions need to be developed and tested. Limitations of the review included a restricted literature search and no assessment of the validity of the included studies, thereby rendering the results potentially unreliable.
