What This Trial Is Studying

Heart scarring, also known as fibrosis, plays a major role in a lot of heart muscle abnormalities. These abnormalities of the heart muscle can lead to major issues such as symptoms of heart failure, dangerous heart rhythm disturbances and even death. However, a lot of these conditions are still not fully understood and treatment options are limited. We here aim to use a new radioactive dye called 68Ga-FAPI to identify patterns and the activity of heart muscle scarring. This radioactive dye is being used in humans particularly in identifying and…

Eligibility Snapshot
  • : HFpEF cohort * Male or female between 30 to 90 years old * Provision of informed consent prior to any study specific procedures * Patients with symptomatic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction as defined by the presence of heart failure symptoms (dyspnoea, reduced exercise tolerance, fatigue), signs (elevated jugular venous pressure, pulmonary crackles, peripheral oedema) as well as echocardiographic features (preserved left ventricular systolic function (>50%) and reduced diastolic function with septal e'
