Optimizing Post Discharge Care for HFpEF HFmrEF: Strategies to Reduce Readmissions

This session explores the unique post-discharge needs of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction and the factors that place them at high risk for early readmission. The importance of timely, structured follow-up and early initiation of evidence-based therapies to support stabilization after hospitalization will be discussed. The session highlights practical strategies and care models that improve coordination, optimize therapy, and help reduce preventable readmissions.
