    The REACH-HFpEF pilot study findings support the feasibility and acceptability of the home-based REACH-HF rehabilitation intervention in patients with HFpEF and their caregivers and indicate that it is feasible to recruit and retain participants in a randomised trial with follow-up. Potential favourable impacts of the REACH-HF intervention on caregiver mental health and measures of burden were observed in this pilot study.
