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).
