Summary

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for approximately half of all heart failure cases and is associated with frequent hospitalizations, poor quality of life, and limited effective treatment options. Fragmented, single-discipline care often fails to address the multiple comorbidities and self-management needs of this population.

This study evaluates a Multidisciplinary Integrated Care Model (MICM) for patients with HFpEF, delivered by a coordinated team including cardiologists, case managers, pharmacists, dietitians, and rehabilitation specialists. The intervention group will receive structured team-based care, including regular follow-up, medication optimization, dietary and lifestyle counseling, and exercise guidance, in addition to standard cardiology care.

Using a prospective quasi-experimental design with a historical control group, this study compares clinical and patient-reported outcomes between patients receiving the multidisciplinary integrated care model and a historical cohort receiving usual care. The primary aim is to determine whether this integrated care approach improves outcomes such as heart failure-related hospitalization, functional status, and quality of life in patients with HFpEF.
