What is this trial about?

With the cardiopulmonary exercise testing as the primary outcome, the study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Qishen Granules on cardiac function, quality of life and biomarker level of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), which will provide evidence for the treatment of HFpEF with traditional Chinese medicine.

What are the participation requirements?

Inclusion Criteria

1. Sign the informed consent form

2. Age 18-85 years old

3. Heart failure was diagnosed ≥ 3 months before enrollment, The heart function classification II-IV of New York Heart Association (NYHA)

4. has ≥ 1 of the following: 1） Structural heart disease (left atrial enlargement and/or left ventricular hypertrophy) recorded by echocardiography at the time of enrollment；2）Hospitalization due to heart failure within 12 months before enrollment

5. Retention of ejection fraction: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)≥50% (Echocardiography)

6. Increase of NTpro-BNP (patients without atrial fibrillation>220pg/mL, patients with atrial fibrillation>660pg/mL
