Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: There are no specific inclusion criteria for the patients referred to the HFpEF outpatient clinic. All patients above 18 years that have the ability to give the informed consent will be included in the cohort and blood and urine samples for the biobank will be obtained.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: A potential subject who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study: - Inability to give informed consent or refusal to participate in the study - Age <18 years
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1.Stratify the heterogeneous group of HFpEF patients to identify specific subtypes. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 2. Set up a cohort of HFpEF patients with detailed clinical characterization of their phenotype. 3. Set up a biobank, to analyse different biomarker profiles which will help to stratify HFpEF patients 4. Investigate if patients without HFpEF, hypertensive controls that will be included in the “HFpEF-cohort perfusion and metabolism study”( NL57468.068.16/METC162032) have different biomarker profiles compared to the HFpEF patients. 5. Isolate monocytes, neutrophils, T cells and platelets in HFpEF and hypertensive control patients included in the “HFpEF-cohort perfusion and metabolism study” (NL57468.068.16/METC162032) to understand better the pathophysiology, phenotype HFpEF patients and assess the differences with patients without HFpEF. 6. Evaluate the changes in biomarker, urine and cellular expression (monocytes, neutrophils, T cells and platelets) after one year of all HFpEF patients included in the cohort and clinically followed up in out out-patient clinic. Evaluate whether our personalized, multidisciplinary treatment strategy improves quality of life and exercise tolerability, and reduces hospitalizations 7. Increase awareness around this challenging syndrome. 8. Evaluate platelet function by analysing extracellular vesicles in blood of hypertensive control patients that in future projects will be compared to HFpEF patients. | — |
