Eligibility

Age
18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Signs and symptoms of HF according to the Europeans Society of Cardiology guideline. 2. LV ejection fraction >=40%. 3. HFA-PEFF score >=5 or HFA-PEFF score 2-4 in combination with positive stress test 4. >18 years of age 5. Able to perform a bicycle exercise test 6. Willing to sign informed consent

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Body weight >140 kg 2. Uncontrolled atrial fibrillation or other significant arrhythmia with resting heart rate >110 bpm during the assessment 3. Contraindications for CMR (e.g. claustrophobia, implanted cardiac devices) 4. Myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass graft

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Patients will be stratified according to high (>=100 ml/m2) and low (

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Pre-specified secondary outcome parameters between the subgroups are: 1) VO2-max, 2) LV and right ventricular (RV) diastolic strain rate, 3) slope of early LV/RV filling, 3) left and right atrial reservoir strain and emptying fraction, 4) pulmonary artery distensibility and pulsatility and 5) cardiac output, all at peak exercise. The amount of epicardial fat will be correlated with change in LV eccentricity index from rest to peak exercise, change in LV/RV diastolic strain rate, change in slope of LV/RV filling, change in atrial reservoir strain and emptying fraction, change in pulmonary artery distensibility and pulsatility, and change in cardiac output. All results will be also compared between men and women.
