Summary

This study tests new MRI techniques to examine the heart's small blood vessels and scarring in people with a type of heart failure called HFpEF. Researchers will compare scans from healthy volunteers and patients to see if these methods can reveal hidden heart problems. The goal is to improve diagnosis and understanding of this condition.
