Summary

The investigators wish to test a hypothesis that patients with HFpEF have different characteristics on echo, cardiac MRI and plasma protein \& chemical profiles compared to HFrEF and healthy volunteers.

Detailed description

Large scale prospective studies incorporating cardiac MRI, echocardiography and plasma sampling are currently lacking in HFpEF. The main aims of our study are to: 1. better phenotype and characterise HFpEF (also comparing with HFrEF and age- and sex- matched healthy controls) 2. provide mechanistic insights into pathophysiology 3. describe potential biomarkers and their relation to relevant clinical outcomes (exercise capacity, heart failure quality of life and prognosis)
