"Latest Therapeutic Advances in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction"

The seminar featured a lecture delivered by postgraduate student Ghaith Khalaf Abd, in which he reviewed the latest therapeutic and clinical guideline updates (2025–2026) related to Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF).
