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. The participant or his legal representative is willing and able to give informed consent for participation in the study Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 6 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 46

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Diagnosis of left valvulopathy of moderate / severe degree considered to be mainly responsible for the symptoms. 2. History of coronary disease or presence of effort angina. 3.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
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
