Brief Summary:
Assessment of cardiac fibrosis by echocardiography (Speckle tracking), IRM (late-enhancement imaging), biology (markers of collagen turn-over) and proteomics
Detailed Description:
Heart failure (HF) is a growing public health problem. While HF with deteriorated ejection fraction has faced numbers of (non) pharmacological advances, HF with preserved ejection fraction, which represents half of admission has today no efficient treatment.
Fibrosis is found in heart of patients with HF and preserved ejection fraction, is reponsible for stiff heart and has link to the transition to compensated/decompaseted HF and death.
The purpose of this work is to characterise myocardial fibrosis by any means to change the prognosis of patients with HF and preserved ejection fraction
Main purpose:
Assessment of cardiac fibrosis by echocardiography (Speckle tracking), IRM (late-enhancement imaging), biology (markers of collagen turn-over) and proteomics
* Patients selection
