For all patients, we performed CMR, speckle tracking echocardiography (STE), and biomarker assessment for HFpEF (NT-proBNP), for myocardial fibrosis (Galectin-3), and for endothelial dysfunction [ADAMTS13, von Willebrand factor, and their ratio]. This evidence concerns the gene LGALS3 and Myocardial fibrosis.
