Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to develop robust protocols for the optimisation of novel hardware, software and exercise equipment in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environment in various cohorts with cardiovascular disease (CVD) with the first study focusing on those with established heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) or those at risk of or with pre-HFpEF.
Interventions
Participants will undergo a comprehensive CMR scan on either a 1.5- or 3-Tesla scanner
