Official Title: External Body Pressure and the Impact on Exercise in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection
Brief Summary: The primary objective of the study is to test the impact of positive and negative body pressure on exercise capacity, symptoms, blood volume distribution and central cardiac hemodynamics in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction.
Aim 1 will study healthy volunteers and heart failure patients non invasively while Aim 2 will study heart failure patients invasively (intracardiac pressures).
