UPBEAT: Using Polygenic Scores to Guide BB Therapy in HF With Mildly Reduced EF

Using Polygenic Scores to Guide Beta-blocker Therapy for Heart Failure With Mildly Reduced Ejection Fraction


Sponsor

David Lanfear

Enrollment

10 participants

Start Date

Nov 1, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study will use polygenic scores, a tool which describes differences in genetics, to examine effectiveness of beta blocker medication in heart failure patients with ejection fraction of 41-50 percent. The study will also assess beta blockers' effect on the changes in left ventricular end-systolic volume index by MRI.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 89 Years

Inclusion Criteria3

  • Age 18-89 years
  • Ejection Fraction (EF) \>40% and =\<50% by any modality within 1 year (must be most recent)
  • Clinical diagnosis of HF within 1 year, evidenced by any one: Hospital discharge with primary or secondary HF diagnosis, ER discharge with primary diagnosis of HF, ambulatory diagnostic code for HF and diuretic use, BNP\>35 ng/L or NTproBNP \>125 ng/L at any time

Exclusion Criteria13

  • Unable to provide informed consent
  • Previous documented EF =\< 35%
  • Currently on BB \>25% target dose
  • Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic BP \> 180 at enrollment)
  • Has contraindications to all BB or intolerance to metoprolol
  • Systolic BP \< 100 or heart rate \<70
  • Current cancer requiring active treatment
  • Heart transplant or LVAD or expected in the next year
  • Life expectancy \< 1 year for any reason
  • Dialysis dependence or ESRD
  • MI/ PCI/ CABG within 90 days prior to enrollment or planned in the future
  • Absolute indication for BB other than heart failure (e.g. tachyarrhythmia required BB for rate control, angina)
  • If PI decides for any reason participation in trial is not in best interest of the patient

Interventions

OTHERBeta blocker

Participants randomized to intervention will be dosed and titrated on beta blocker according to study protocol.
