About this trial
Patients at risk for developing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) will undergo a structured clinical assessment, transthoracic echocardiography and pulse-wave analysis to investigate the association of arterial stiffening and the development of cardiac diastolic dysfuntion and HFpEF.
