Excited to present our work on trends of palliative care utilization in patients with 🫀HFpEF. While there’s an ⬆️ trend in #palliative care use, significant racial, ethnic, and geographic #disparities exist! #ACC24 #HealthEquity Shahzad Hassan Tracy TM, MD, MPH Haider Warraich Jose L. Lopez, MD

Palliative care is underused in heart failure, but even more so in patients with preserved ejection fraction which largely affects older adults with multiple comorbidities and poor prognosis. 👇 happening now at #ACC24 led by @ZaralatifMD & Shahzad Hassan !

In-hospital palliative care utilization rates in acute HFpEF are rising but remain lower than other acute HF phenotypes. Our work presented at #ACC24 by @ZaralatifMD, under the worthy mentorship of Haider Warraich. American College of Cardiology AJ Blood, MD, MS

Lots we dont know about heart failure with preserved ejection fraction but one thing we do: palliative care would be immensely beneficial for patients w/ HFpEF. Yet our new📜in JACC Journals led by Shahzad Hassan & Zara Latif, MD paints a grim picture. 1/3

In the FIGHT trial, Black patients w/ #HeartFailure were younger & more comorbid. Black race was assoc w/ more functional & structural impairments & increased HF 🏥 but no differences in mortality jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #ACC25 #JACCHF Justin Mark, M.D. Jose L.

The majority of #HeartFailure clinical trials do not include individuals with NELP. Primary language should be reported in these trials to ensure adequate representation jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #ACC25 #JACCHF Zara Latif, MD Silia DeFilippis MD FACC FAHA FHFSA
