Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The primary study parameter is peripheral microvascular function assessed by<br /><br>flicker-light induced retinal microvascular %-dilation measured with Dynamic<br /><br>Vessel Analyzer, corrected for the most important confounders of microvascular<br /><br>function.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>- Difference in peripheral microvascular function assessed by heat-induced skin<br /><br>hyperaemia, finger capillary recruitment, or glycocalyx assessment in HFpEF<br /><br>patients compared to matched controls.<br /><br>- Difference in macrovascular function assessed by carotid-femoral pulse wave<br /><br>velocity, intima-media thickness ratio, or ankle/arm-index in HFpEF patients<br /><br>compared to matched controls.<br /><br>- Difference in physical activity assessed by the modified Champs questionnaire<br /><br>in HFpEF patients compared to matched controls.</p><br>
