Effect of Nurse-assessed Remote Ischemic Preconditioning on Improving Exercise Capacity, Endothelial Function, and Arterial Stiffness in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
1. HF-PEF (diagnosis according to the ESC 2021 criteria)
1. Signs and symptoms of HF
2. A left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50%.
3. Objective evidence of cardiac structural and/or functional abnormalities consistent with the presence of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction/elevated left ventricular filling pressures, including elevated natriuretic peptides
2. Sedentary men and women (structured exercise \<2 x 30 min/week).
3. Inability to exercise or conditions that may interfere with exercise intervention.
4. Myocardial infarction within the last 3 months.
5. Patients with diabetes and/or peripheral vascular disease.
6. Signs of ischemia during maximal cardiopulmonary stress test.
7. Comorbidity that may influence prognosis at one year.
8. Participation in another clinical trial
