Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Patients with IC-FEP who meet the diagnostic criteria according to the current HF guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology: - Typical signs and symptoms of HF. - Systolic function of the left ventricle =50% with non-dilated left ventricle (end-diastolic diameter =60 mm, indexed end-diastolic diameter> 32 mm / m2 or indexed end-diastolic volume> 97 mL / m2) - Echocardiographic alteration compatible with relevant structural heart disease (hypertrophy of the left ventricle or dilatation of the left atrium) and / or diastolic dysfunction. 2. Stable functional class of NYHA II-III the last month prior to inclusion. 3. Amino-terminal fraction of the brain natriuretic pro-peptide (NT-proBNP)> 125 pg / mL in the last month. 4. Chronotropic index, defined as (46): 5. In current treatment and for more than 3 months with beta-blockers. 6. Majority of age (> 18 years). 7.

| Main Objective: To evaluate the effect of betablockers withdrawal in patients with HFpEF and chronotropic incompetence assessed by the peak oxygen consumption and heart rate at 15 and 30 days after the intervention.;Secondary Objective: Changes in: 1. Score in the quality of life questionnaire [Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) 2. Functional class of the NYHA. 3. Echocardiographic parameters: a) diameters, volumes and systolic function of the left and right ventricle; b) diastolic function parameters (E / e ', e' media); c) systolic pulmonary arterial pressure; and, d) left atrial volume index. 4. Distance traveled in the six minute walk test (6MWT).Changes in submaximal functional capacity. 5. Ventilatory efficiency, estimated by the slope of the exhaled volume /CO2 elimination ratio throughout the test (VE/VCO2). 6. Maximum inspiratory pressure (PIM). 7. Plasma biomarkers: amino-terminal fraction of brain pro-natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), ST-2 and Galectin-3 8. Average of the daily heart rate. 9. Global cognitive function through the miniexamen of mental state (MMSE) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCa). 10. Fried's fragility index.;Primary end point(s): To evaluate the effect of betablockers withdrawal in patients with HFpEF and chronotropic incompetence assessed by the peak oxygen consumption and heart rate at 15 and 30 days after the intervention.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 15 and 30 days | — |
