Researchers will conduct a phase 3 trial on a physical rehabilitation intervention to see whether it reduces rehospitalizations and mortality for older patients hospitalized for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

The rehabilitation program is individually tailored and involves strength, endurance, balance and mobility training exercises.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
