Among symptomatic patients with HF, half have HFpEF, and their mortality is similar to those with HFrEF. However, there are currently no treatments for HFpEF that prolong life, and few (if any) that reliably reduce HF hospitalization rates. We need new therapies to address this unmet medical need. Cardiovascular gene transfer is conceptually an attractive method for tr... |
