Summary

This study tests whether a low dose of colchicine, a drug typically used for gout, can improve exercise capacity in people with a type of heart failure called HFpEF who also have signs of inflammation. About 60 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either colchicine or a placebo for 3 months. Researchers will measure changes in exercise tests, physical function, and quality of life to see if the drug helps.
