Heart Association Launches Major Initiative to Transform Care for 75% of Heart Failure Cases

American Heart Association & Bayer launch IMPLEMENT-EF initiative to improve care for HFpEF and HFmrEF heart failure, affecting 75% of cases with limited treatment evidence.

This initiative addresses a critical healthcare gap affecting millions of Americans, as HFpEF and HFmrEF represent the majority of heart failure cases but have historically received less research attention and standardized treatment protocols. For patients and families, this means potentially better diagnosis, more effective treatments, and improved quality of life. The program's nationwide scale and multidisciplinary approach could lead to standardized best practices that reduce hospitalizations and mortality rates. Given that heart failure affects approximately 6.2 million Americans and is a leading cause of hospitalization, improving care models for these specific conditions could significantly reduce healthcare costs and improve survival rates across the country.
