Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: In order to be eligible to participate in this study, a subject must meet all of the following criteria: 1. Diagnosis of HFpEF: a. signs/and or symptoms of heart failure, NYHA II or higher (and ambulant) b. LV ejection fraction * 50% (by any modality) c. evidence of LV diastolic dysfunction (PCWP at rest >15mmHg and/or PCWP during exercise * 25mmHg; diastolic dysfunction grade II or higher (echocardiography) with a NT-proBNP level >125 pg/mL) d. no other significant cardiac (e.g. significant valvular disease) or extra-cardiac condition (e.g. severe COPD) that explains symptoms 2. Clinically stable (no change in diuretic for >1 month), co-morbidities managed 3. Informed consent
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: A potential subject who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study: 1. Current acute decompensated heart failure, requiring augmented therapy with intravenous diuretics, vasodilator and/or inotropic drugs; 2. Acute coronary syndrome, TIA/CVA, major surgery within the 3 months prior; 3. Suspected septal scar (e.g. due to myocardial infarction) which prohibits the measurement of PCr/ATP with MRS; 4. Unable to undergo the complete study protocol (RHC, MRI/MRS, 6MWD); 5. Contra-indication for trimetazidine (severe kidney failure with an eGFR
