Increased attention is being given to HFpEF, with studies exploring its pathophysiology, treatment strategies, and impact on patient outcomes, reflecting its growing prevalence. - Telemedicine and Remote Monitoring:
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated research into telemedicine and remote patient monitoring, particularly for managing chronic cardiovascular conditions and improving access to care. - Patient-Centered Care:
There is a growing emphasis on patient-reported outcomes and quality of life measures, with research increasingly focusing on how treatments affect patients' daily lives and overall well-being.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Pharmacological Approaches:
There has been a noticeable decrease in studies focused solely on traditional pharmacological treatments for cardiovascular disease, as newer therapies and combination strategies gain prominence. - Basic Science and Pathophysiology:
Research purely focused on basic science aspects of cardiovascular disease pathophysiology has waned, with a greater emphasis now placed on clinical applications and translational research. - Single-Center Studies:
The prevalence of studies conducted at single centers has diminished, with a shift towards larger, multicenter trials that offer broader generalizability and more robust data. - Invasive Monitoring Techniques:
There is less emphasis on traditional invasive monitoring techniques as non-invasive alternatives and advanced imaging modalities become more prevalent in clinical practice. - General Cardiovascular Risk Scores:
The use of generalized cardiovascular risk scores has declined in favor of more personalized and specific risk assessment models that take into account individual patient characteristics.
