What is Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy?
Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy (GDMT) is a term designated by the Task Force to represent recommended medical therapy as defined mainly by Class I measures, generally a combination of lifestyle modification and drug- and device-based therapeutics. GDMT is preferred to optimal medical therapy as medical science advances, and the reader should confirm the dosage with product insert material and carefully evaluate for contraindications and possible drug interactions.
