Study Summary

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction or HFpEF, represents nearly 50% of all heart failure cases and is particularly common in the elderly. The disease has no current treatment options. Symptoms typically occur during exertion or exercise and is likely the result of increased cardiac and pulmonary congestion as a result of impaired diastolic function. Istaroxime is a novel activator of SERCA2a, an important regulator of calcium uptake within the myocyte. We will test the hypothesis that Istaroxime will improve diastolic function during exercise in HFpEF patients which in turn will reduce cardiac and pulmonary congestion.

Primary Outcome

Change in cardiac filling pressures (pulmonary capillary wedge pressure) during exercise with Istaroxime
