Summary

This study is recruiting 130 people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), both obese and non-obese. Researchers will use CT and MRI scans, blood tests, and other checks to see if having more fat around the heart leads to worse heart function. The goal is to understand the link better, which could help develop new treatments that lower fat around the heart.
