In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) represents a major public health burden that is both growing rapidly and has few effective therapies. Supervised exercise training (SET) is one of the few effective therapies for older patients with HFpEF, but is currently constrained by cost, resource limitations, and sub-optimal short and long-term clinical response. The objective is to develop and test novel strategies to augment the therapy of exercise training to optimize response and resource utilization in older patients with HFpEF.
