About this trial
The purpose of this study is to internally validate low-field Ex-CMR as a noninvasive tool for diagnosing, phenotyping, and risk stratifying HFpEF in patients with exertional dyspnea.
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
Informed consent obtained
HFpEF (cardiologist-adjudicated diagnosis as verified by PI, EF≥50%)
Non-cardiac dyspnea (patients have dyspnea but were found on invasive exercise testing not to have HFpEF).
Healthy volunteers with no history of dyspnea or effort intolerance.
Disqualifiers
Contraindication for low-field CMR, as indicated in MRI safety screening checklist (Research Document #1)
Patient inability or unwillingness to undergo Ex-CMR
Cardiac implants, mechanical or biological valve, causing artifacts that compromise the quality of data
Hospitalization for heart failure in the preceding 30 days.
Trial population
Participants will be identified from Mayo Clinic Cardiac Cath lab appointment lists.

Treatments tested in this trial
Exercise Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance
Diagnostic testExercise Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance is a non-invasive imaging technique that combines cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) with exercise stress testing.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Number of heart failure hospitalizations
Number of heart failure hospitalizations will be determined by the number of patients admitted to the hospital due to heart failure complications.
Number of cardiac deaths
The number of cardiac deaths will include all patients whose death is attributable to a cardiac cause.
Secondary outcomes
Number of deaths
The number of deaths will include all patient deaths, regardless of cause.
