Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Aged 18 years or older (inclusive), gender; 2. Willing to participate in the study, understand and sign the informed consent form; 3. Clearly diagnosed as a heart failure patient, with symptoms and/or signs of heart failure: (1) Symptoms: Dyspnea, decreased physical capacity, weakness, fatigue, etc.; (2) Signs: Sparse moist rales in the lungs ("Sparse moist rales" is clinically defined as sparse, discontinuous fine crackles heard during mid-to-late inspiration, typically 1-2 in number, within a limited lung field area), or accompanied by heart murmurs; (3) Examinations (Key for diagnosis): Echocardiography, natriuretic peptide testing, electrocardiogram (ECG); 4. Cardiac imaging examinations (mainly referring to echocardiography) indicate LVEF 41%~49%; 5. New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification (see Appendix 1) Class II~III; 6. Stable condition with no significant changes in symptoms, signs, or treatment regimen for at least 3 months; 7. Normal cognitive function.

Major surgery within 6 months; 9. Serious primary diseases of the liver, kidney, hematopoietic system, nervous system, endocrine system, or other severe systemic diseases; malignancy; or psychiatric disorders; 10. Acute infection; 11. Positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody, positive syphilis test, or hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection; 12. Life expectancy <1 year; 13.

Participation in another clinical study within 3 months; 16. Subjects deemed unsuitable for participation in this trial by the investigator.
