Improved hospitalization rates in a specialty center for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and pulmonary hypertension

Abstract Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction can be complicated by pulmonary hypertension. We designed a retrospective study to provide supporting evidence for referral to specialty care centers. Specialty care centers improved hospitalizations but not mortality—in part due to more aggres...

We designed a retrospective study to provide supporting evidence for referral to specialty care centers. Specialty care centers improved hospitalizations but not mortality—in part due to more aggressive medication management and guideline‐directed monitoring.
