Article Synopsis
- Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is becoming the most common type of heart failure, but patients often lack access to specialized care, leading to poorer health outcomes.
- The review will analyze existing literature and consult experts to assess current care pathways for HFpEF in the UK, aiming to create a better framework for treatment.
- By combining insights from both academic and public sources, the findings will highlight challenges in care and inform improvements for HFpEF services, potentially benefiting broader healthcare practices in Europe.
