Conditions

Summary

Heart failure occurs when the heart is no longer able to pump blood around the body properly. It can cause breathlessness, swollen feet and ankles, and tiredness. In about half of patients with heart failure, one measure of the heart's pumping function, called the 'ejection fraction', is normal. This type of heart failure is called heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, or HFpEF. HFpEF remains poorly understood. It is not clear why some people develop HFpEF, or what determines the severity of the condition. Treatment options may be limited. UK HFpEF is a study that aims to gain a better understanding of why people develop HFpEF, develop better tests to diagnosis it, identify and test new treatments, and follow the health of the people taking part over many years.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is building a database (registry) of patients in the UK who have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) — a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but is too stiff. The goal is to better understand what causes it and how to treat it. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with HFpEF by a qualified cardiologist, primary care physician, or heart failure nurse - Your natriuretic peptide levels (a blood marker for heart failure) have been measured - You can provide written informed consent **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your heart's pumping function is significantly reduced (ejection fraction below 40%) - You have been diagnosed with certain specific types of heart disease such as amyloidosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, or severe valve disease - You have had a heart transplant Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
