About this trial

With the cardiopulmonary exercise testing as the primary outcome, the study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Qishen Granules on cardiac function, quality of life and biomarker level of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), which will provide evidence for the treatment of HFpEF with traditional Chinese medicine.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Sign the informed consent form

Age 18-85 years old

Heart failure was diagnosed ≥ 3 months before enrollment, The heart function classification II-IV of New York Heart Association (NYHA)

has ≥ 1 of the following: 1) Structural heart disease (left atrial enlargement and/or left ventricular hypertrophy) recorded by echocardiography at the time of enrollment;2)Hospitalization due to heart failure within 12 months before enrollment

Disqualifiers

Patients with decompensated heart failure

Glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)<30mL/min/1.73m 2

Atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter with obvious liver disease or ALT, AST 3 times higher than the upper limit of normal

Symptomatic hypotension or systolic blood pressure (SBP)<100mmHg at the time of inclusion or baseline

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Qishen Granules

    Drug

    One package per time, twice a day, 90 days of treatment

  • Placebo

    Drug

    One package per time, twice a day, 90 days of treatment (the placebo was basically the same as Qishen granules in terms of appearance, shape, color, taste, etc.)

Treatment groups

80 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Qishen GranulesExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: PlaceboPlacebo comparator 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Changes in peak oxygen uptake within the average minute (PeakVO2) compared to baseline on day 90

Measure the efficiency of peak oxygen intake by combining oxygen volume and time to report PeakVO2 in ml/min

Time frame
At enrollment versus at day 90

Secondary outcomes

1

Changes in Mitral valve diastolic blood flow velocity (E) and Mitral annulus lateral and septal motion velocity (e') compared to baseline on day 90

Measure the blood flow velocity or motion velocity of specific areas in cm/s

Time frame
At enrollment versus at day 90
2

Changes in E/e' ratio compared to baseline on day 90

E/e' ratio

Time frame
At enrollment versus at day 90
3

Changes in Left Atrial Volume index (LAVI) compared to baseline on day 90

Left atrial volume (estimated from echocardiography measurement data) and body surface area (estimated based on height and weight) will be combined to report LAVI in ml/m\^2

Time frame
At enrollment versus at day 90
4

Changes in Left ventricular mass index (LVMI) compared to baseline on day 90

Left ventricle mass (estimated from echocardiography measurement data) and body surface area (estimated based on height and weight) will be combined to report LVMI in g/m\^2

Time frame
At enrollment versus at day 90

Other outcomes

1

Changes in Aspartate aminotransferase(AST) compared to baseline on day 90

Level of blood AST in mmol/L

Time frame
At enrollment versus at day 90
2

Changes in Alanine aminotransferase(ALT) compared to baseline on day 90

Level of blood ALT in mmol/L

Time frame
At enrollment versus at day 90
3

Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events

Assess the incidence of treatment-related adverse events

Time frame
At enrollment versus at day 90
