Phenotype characterization of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in medical device and surgical trials

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 6, Page 3878-3898, December 2025.
This systematic review identified 24 clinical trials of medical device and surgical interventions for HFpEF, with 16 demonstrating at least safety and feasibility, but little evidence of long‐term benefit. Phenotype‐based responses suggest that certain interventions may benefit specific HFpEF subgroups, yet most trials suffered from heterogeneous ...
