Study Summary

This study will be performed to determine the safety, tolerability, and dose-response to inorganic nitrate on exercise capacity in HFpEF. There are two primary goals for this study: 1. Determine the population-specific pharmacokinetics and dose of KNO3 that can be safely given to subjects with HFpEF. 2. Determine if there is a dose-response effect of nitrate supplementation on exercise capacity, evidenced by peak oxygen consumption (peak VO2), and physiologic adaptations to exercise.

Primary Outcome

Peak oxygen uptake (VO2) defined as the average value obtained during the last 30 seconds of exercise.
