Lead Sponsor:

Goethe University

Collaborating Sponsors:

Deutsches Zentrum für Herz-Kreislauf-Forschung (DZHK)

Conditions:

Heart Failure With Normal Ejection Fraction

Eligibility:

All Genders

18+ years

Brief Summary

Heart failure (HF) currently affects app. 2% of the western population and app. 10% of people \>75 years. In about 50% of patients with symptomatic HF ejection fraction (EF) is preserved (HF-PEF). Onc...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Main/reproducibility group:
  • Ability to provide informed consent
  • Typical HF symptoms (NYHA stage II-III) within the last 6 months
  • EF \> 45 % with absence of structural heart disease on echocardiography (except left ventricular hypertrophy or left atrial enlargement)
  • Echocardiographic evidence of increased left ventricular filling pressures
  • E/E'sep \>15 OR E/E'lat \>12 OR Av E/E' \>13 OR
  • E/E' \>9 AND left atrial (LA) volume \>34 ml/m2 OR systolic pulmonary artery pressure (PAsys): \>35 mmHg;
  • Indication for invasive hemodynamic work-up
  • Unclear aetiology of heart failure
  • Adults: age \>18 years

Exclusion

  • Patients unable or unwilling to provide informed consent
  • High likelihood of non-diagnostic PV loops of MR imaging (e.g. atrial fibrillation or high rate of premature ventricular contraction (PVC) (\> 10 ventricular Extrasystole (VES)/minute), \> 150 kg body weight, inability to lie flat or still)
  • Contraindication for invasive work-up (allergy to contrast agent, severe renal insufficiency with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGRF) \<30 ml/min)
  • Contraindications for a contrast enhanced CMR study (allergy to contrast agent, incompatible devices or implants (e.g. non-MR conditional pacemaker), severe claustrophobia)
  • Previous medical history of EF \<45%
  • Imaging findings confirming a specific diagnosis of myocardial impairment (e.g. amyloid, ischaemic heart disease, valvular disease)
  • Age-gender matched controls:
  • Inclusion Criteria:
  • Ability to provide informed consent
  • No current or history of symptoms, signs or therapy for heart disease
  • EF \> 45 % with absence of structural heart disease on echocardiography (except left ventricular hypertrophy or left atrial enlargement)
  • Adults: age \>18 years
