Summary

This study looks at how blood flow in the heart's small vessels and body composition (muscle vs. fat) affect exercise ability in people with a type of heart failure called HFpEF. Researchers will measure heart blood flow and muscle/fat levels, then compare them to exercise test results. The goal is to better understand what limits exercise in these patients, which could guide future treatments.
