Clinical Trial: Targeting Breathing Limitations to Improve Functional Outcomes in HFpEF
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Targeting Breathing Limitations to Improve Functional Outcomes in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF)
Brief Summary:
The overall purpose of this study is to investigate whether pulmonary limitations that increase the oxygen (O2) cost of breathing impact dyspnea on exertion (DOE) and peak exercise capacity in patients with HFpEF and obesity.As per investigator's hypothesis, obesity is likely a significant contributor to DOE and exercise intolerance in patients with HFpEF.
