Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Skeletal muscle cellular metabolism measured using mass spectrometry-based metabolomics and lipidomics on skeletal muscle and fat biopsies, between two phenotypes of heart failure and controls, and in patients with diabetes mellitus at a single timepoint | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Relationship of clinical outcomes (all-cause hospitalisation and mortality measured using the Leeds Patient Pathway Manager electronic patient record system to intercellular communication (within and across organ beds) between two phenotypes of heart failure and controls, and in patients with diabetes mellitus at a single time point 2. Relationship of patient symptoms [NYHA class], diuretic dose [normalised furosemide dose], quality of life [as assessed by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire and the EuroQoL EQ5D-5L] and exercise capacity [as measured by cardiopulmonary exercise testing] to intercellular communication (within and across organ beds) between two phenotypes of heart failure and controls, and in patients with diabetes mellitus at a single time point 3. The effect of 'cross-talk' on the functions of skeletal muscle, fat, platelets and clotting function, and cardiac function measured using metabolomics, lipidomics, studies of coagulation at a single time point 4. Autonomic function measured using muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) and heart rate variability between two phenotypes of heart failure and controls, and in patients with diabetes mellitus at a single time point 5. Lung function, including inspiratory, expiratory and bronchiolar resistance measured using impulse oscillometry and spirometry between two phenotypes of heart failure and controls, and in patients with diabetes mellitus at a single time point 6. Cardiac contractility and peripheral vascular function measured using cardiac magnetic resonance and non-invasive haemodynamics between two phenotypes of heart failure and controls, and in patients with diabetes mellitus at a single time point | — |
