AI summary
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults aged 40 or older with heart failure and a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), who had detailed heart tests and will be followed for at least 3 years.
- Age
- 40 years or older
- Sex
- All sexes can join
- Disease stage
- NYHA class II-III heart failure; left ventricular ejection fraction above 50%; high filling pressure in the left side of the heart on echocardiography, at rest or at peak exercise
Main reasons for not taking part
- Signs of reduced blood flow to the heart muscle during stress echocardiography, or significant narrowing of the main coronary arteries
- Inherited forms of HFpEF (for example HCM, amyloidosis, Fabry disease)
- Significant lung disease needing home oxygen or long-term oral steroids, or primary pulmonary artery hypertension
- Anemia (Hb < 100 g/L) or reduced kidney function (eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2)
- Heart failure exacerbation less than 3 months before joining

Who can take part
- Signed and data informed consent
- New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II-III heart failure
- Left ventricular ejection fraction > 50%
- Elevated LV filling pressures assessed by echocardiography at rest or at peak exercise
Who cannot take part
- Exacerbation of heart failure less than 3 months prior to study entry
- Evidence of myocardial ischemia during stress echocardiography
- Genetic forms of HFpEF (HCM, amyloidosis, Fabry disease, glycogen storage diseases etc.)
- Peripartum cardiomyopathy, chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy, viral myocarditis, isolated right-sided HF without left-sided structural disease, constrictive pericarditis, significant pericardial effusion
- Significant lung disease (severe lung disease requiring home oxygen or chronic oral steroid therapy)
- Primary pulmonary artery hypertension
- Significant left-sided structural valve disease
- Non-cardiac conditions that complicate/exclude participation in the study
- Anemia (Hb < 100 g/L)
- Impaired renal function, defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <30 mL/min/1.73 m2 (CKD-EPI)
- Significant lesions of the main coronary arteries

About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
Patients with HFpEF who have undergone meticulous clinical and instrumental evaluation (including diastolic exercise testing) between 2013 and 2020, will be followed up for at least 3 years.
The 2 groups in the trial
- with primary outcome
Patients with HFpEF who experienced primary outcome (were hospitalized for HF or died)
- without primary outcome
Patients with HFpEF who survived without hospitalization for HF
Questions to ask the study team
- How often do I need to come in, and for how long each time?
- Are travel costs paid?
- Can I keep my own doctor?
- What happens if I want to stop?
