What is a key difference in the management of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) compared to those with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF)?
There is a lack of evidence to support specific pharmacologic therapies to modify disease progression in HFpEF.
HFpEF patients are always treated with device-based therapies.
HFpEF management focuses solely on surgical intervention.
HFpEF patients do not require any follow-up care.
