Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: To define mechanisms for effect of Aldosterone antagonism in the treatment of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HF-PEF) using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. ;Secondary Objective: To determine if echocardiographic measures of diastolic function correlate with those derived from cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and if spironolactone leads to an improvement in markers of diastolic dysfunction and quality of life in HF-PEF.;Primary end point(s): Serial change in ECV, as calculated by T1 map using Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging following treatment with an aldosterone antagonist.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The study will be conducted over 6 months.
Secondary Outcome Measures

<br> Secondary end point(s): To determine the effect of spironolactone in HF-PEF on:<br> Alternative methods of measuring ECV with CMR<br> Echocardiographically & CMR derived measures of cardiac relaxation<br> Establish correlation betwen change in ECV and measures of cardiac relaxation<br> Exercise tolerance & quality of life<br> ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 6 months
