Unlike heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) where several medicines and devices have been demonstrated to reduce mortality, no such therapies have been identified in HFpEF. This may be in part due to incomplete understanding of the underlying mechanisms of HFpEF.
Recently, impaired myocardial blood flow, reduced myocardial energy utilization, and increased myocardial fibrosis have been postulated to play important pathophysiologic roles in HFpEF. The investigators and others have demonstrated that HFrEF may be associated with altered myocardial energy utilization and "energy starvation." However, there are limited data regarding "energy starvation" in HFpEF and the relationships between myocardial blood flow, energy utilization, and fibrosis in HFpEF are largely unknown. Therefore, the purposes of this study are to use non-invasive cardiac imaging techniques to describe cardiac structure, function, blood flow, energetics, and fibrosis, and the relationships between these in order to better understand underlying mechanisms in HFpEF.
| Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Heart Failure, Diastolic Diastolic Heart Failure Hypertension | Drug: regadenoson | Phase 4 |
The investigators hypothesize that HFpEF is associated with reductions in myocardial blood flow and energy utilization and increased myocardial fibrosis as compared to age and gender matched hypertensive and healthy controls. The investigators will test their hypotheses by comparing measurements of myocardial blood flow, energy utilization, and fibrosis between three subject groups (HFpEF vs hypertension vs healthy). Myocardial blood flow will be quantitated from nitrogen (N)13-Ammonia positron emission tomography (PET) and gadolinium enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, both at rest and stress following coronary vasodilation with regadenoson. Myocardial energy utilization will be quantified with 11C-acetate PET imaging and myocardial fibrosis will be assessed with gadolinium enhanced CMR and alterations in myocardial T1. Echocardiography will be utilized to quantify cardiac diastolic function.
It is anticipated that the results of this proposed study will provide a foundation that will inform future studies aimed at identifying novel preventive or therapeutic agents in HFpEF.

- Enumerate subjects with "myocardial energy starvation" among patients with HFpEF vs. hypertensive and normal subjects, using myocardial blood flow on CMR and PET, oxidative metabolism (11C-acetate) and interstitial fibrosis on CMR, a composite outcome. [ Time Frame: 3 years ]rest and regadenoson stress myocardial blood flow in each study group, using CMR and PET, oxidative metabolism using 11C-acetate and interstitial fibrosis on CMR. The criterion for defining "energy starvation" is the combination of abnormal myocardial blood flow on CMR or PET, abnormal values for fibrosis on CMR and abnormally low oxidative metabolic rate.
