Enrollment

1,250 participants

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a certain type of heart failure, occurs when the heart doesn't pump blood around the body properly. It can cause breathlessness, tiredness, and swollen feet or ankles. It is not clear why people develop HFpEF and treatment options are very limited. TRAITS-HFpEF is a study that aims to understand why people develop HFpEF, identify new tests and treatments, and gain information on the life expectancy of people living with this condition. It will do this by routinely collecting information on people attending a specialised outpatient HFpEF clinic.

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is working to better understand a type of heart failure where the heart muscle squeezes normally but the heart itself is stiff and cannot fill with blood properly. This is called heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Researchers are collecting detailed information about patients' symptoms, test results, and physical characteristics to identify patterns and guide future treatments for this poorly understood condition. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 years old or older - You are a patient attending the specialist HFpEF clinic at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) - You are able to provide informed consent in English, either verbally or in writing **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are under 18 years old - You are currently imprisoned - You are unable to provide informed consent in English Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
