Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Heart failure patient group (1) Meet the diagnostic criteria for heart failure: meet the 2021 ESC diagnostic guidelines for acute and chronic heart failure and the 2022 ACC/AHA phased criteria for heart failure, and meet the following two core conditions: 1) Evidence of structural/functional abnormalities: echocardiography showing left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) =50% with cardiac structural or functional abnormalities (HFpEF); 2) Biomarkers: NT-proBNP=125 pg/mL (non-acute phase) or BNP>=35 pg/mL; (2) Age 18-90 years; (3) Signed informed consent; 2. Non-heart failure control group (1) Age and gender matched with heart failure group (±5 years); (2) No history and symptoms of cardiovascular disease (chest pain, dyspnea, etc.); (3) the diagnosis of heart failure was excluded (NT-proBNP<100 pg/mL and no structural abnormalities were found on echocardiography); (4) Sign the informed consent form.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Cancer or other serious comorbidities that affect life expectancy; 2. Systemic infection; 3. Liver dysfunction; 4. Pregnant or lactating women; 5. Mental disorder or cognitive deficit unable to cooperate with the study; 6. Combined with autoimmune diseases; 7. After enrollment, it was found that the inclusion criteria were not met (such as misdiagnosis of heart failure); 8.

Serious violation of the protocol by the study intervention (such as unauthorized use of investigational drugs).
