Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: In order to be eligible to participate in this study, a subject must meet all of the following criteria: HFpEF patients: - HFpEF diagnosis based on ESC 2016 diagnostic criteria. - Aged 60 years or older., Controls with diabetes mellitus: - Diabets mellitus diagnosis based on World Health Organization 2006 criteria. - Aged 60 years or older., Controls without DM: - No diabets mellitus diagnosis based on World Health Organization 2006 criteria. - Aged 60 years or older.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: A potential subject who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study: HFpEF patients: - Inability to give informed consent. - Contraindications for pupil dilation by ocular drips, which is needed for the primary endpoint of this study assessed by flicker-light induced retinal vessel reactivity: a history of acute glaucoma, previous allergic reaction to ocular dilation drips. pregnancy or giving breastfeeding, current presence of intraocular oil or gas after retinal detachment. - Contraindication for flicker-light induced retinal vessel reactivity assessment: history of photosensitive epilepsy., Controls with diabetes mellitus: - A history of heart failure. Controls without diabetes mellitus: - A history of heart failure.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary study parameter is peripheral microvascular function assessed by flicker-light induced retinal microvascular %-dilation measured with Dynamic Vessel Analyzer, corrected for the most important confounders of microvascular function.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- Difference in peripheral microvascular function assessed by heat-induced skin hyperaemia, finger capillary recruitment, or glycocalyx assessment in HFpEF patients compared to matched controls. - Difference in macrovascular function assessed by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, intima-media thickness ratio, or ankle/arm-index in HFpEF patients compared to matched controls. - Difference in physical activity assessed by the modified Champs questionnaire in HFpEF patients compared to matched controls.
