Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Group 1: HFpEF-CKD-will consist of 30 subjects with:
  • Ejection fraction of equal or greater than 55%; and
  • Evidence of increased LV filling pressures, including at least 2 of the following: average septal-lateral E/e' ratio ≥ 15; tricuspid regurgitation (TR) peak velocity \> 2:8 m/s;
  • Left atrial volume index \>34mL/m\^2 assessed by echocardiography; and
  • Previous diagnosis of HF with New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class II-III symptoms on chronic diuretic therapy; and
  • CKD defined as glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 15-80 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 as estimated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation. Subject needs to be on stable dose of chronic diuretic for at least 4 weeks prior to study and maintained on the same dose for the duration of the study. In addition to the exclusion criteria listed below, to ensure a more homogenous group of subjects, we will exclude subjects with Diabetes or BMI \> 35 (because endogenous natriuretic peptide levels are low in obese subjects).
  • Group 2: HFpEF-EI-will consist of 30 subjects with:
  • Ejection fraction of equal or greater than 55%; and
  • Previous invasive determination of normal pulmonary capillary wedge pressure ≤ 15 mmHg) at rest and ≥ 25 mmHg during exercise; and
  • New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class II-III symptoms; and
  • Glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of \> 50 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 as estimated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation. In addition to the exclusion criteria listed below, to ensure a more homogenous group of subjects, we will exclude subjects with Diabetes or BMI\>35 (because endogenous natriuretic peptide levels are low in obese subjects).

Exclusion

  • Body mass index \> 35.
  • Blood pressure \< 100/60 or \> 180/100 mmHg.
  • Diabetes.
  • Myocardial infarction within 6 months of screening.
  • Unstable angina within 6 months of screening, or any evidence of myocardial ischemia.
  • Significant valvular heart diseases.
  • Hypertrophic, restrictive or obstructive cardiomyopathy.
  • Constrictive pericarditis.
  • Primary pulmonary hypertension.
  • Biopsy proven active myocarditis.
  • Severe congenital heart diseases.
  • Cardiac amyloidosis.
  • Fabry disease.
  • Sarcoidosis.
  • Sustained ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation within 14 days of screening.
  • Second or third degree heart block without a permanent cardiac pacemaker.
  • Stroke within 3 months of screening, or other evidence of significantly compromised CNS perfusion.
  • Hemoglobin \< 9 g/dl
  • ALT \> 2 times the upper limit of normal;
  • Serum sodium of \< 135 mEq/dL or \> 150 mEq/dL
  • Serum potassium of \< 3.5 mEq/dL or \> 5.7 mEq/dL.
  • Other acute or chronic medical conditions or laboratory abnormality which may increase the risks associated with study participation or may interfere with interpretation of the data.
  • Received an investigational drug within 1 month prior to dosing.
  • Patients with an allergy to iodine;
  • female subject who is pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • In the opinion of the investigator, is unlikely to comply with the study protocol or is unsuitable for any reasons.
