Forsyth et al. (2024) conducted an editorial in Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) (n=21). Theory-informed behavioural intervention was evaluated on Exercise adherence and qualitative themes. A theory-informed behavioral intervention to promote exercise in 21 patients with HFpEF modified negative attitudes and barriers, resulting in a mean exercise adherence of 103 minutes per week.
