And I think one key part is educating the field, not just my fellow cardiologists, but also primary care doctors, geriatricians, that there’s this heart failure syndrome that is kind of sneaky, and it’s kind of difficult to diagnose any. Eric 12:05 Any pearls on the diagnosis of HFpEF. Eric 14:10 Yeah. What is GDMT?
