NCT02751853

Brief Summary

Aim of the study is to assess the effects of abruptly increased afterload on left ventricular contractility and relaxation in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF), patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFREF), and patients without HFPEF or HFREF.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Hemodynamic parameter 1: Changes in contractility assessed by the end-systolic pressure-volume relationship

    Changes in contractility after handgrip exercise assessed by the end-systolic pressure-volume relationship

    Day 1

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Hemodynamic parameter 2: Changes in contractility assessed by the peak power index

    Day 1

  • Hemodynamic parameter 3: Changes in relaxation assessed by the relaxation constant "tau"

    Day 1

  • Functional parameter: Changes in ejection fraction

    Day 1

Study Arms (3)
