RELIEVE METAB Study
Sponsor: Heinrich-Heine University, Duesseldorf
Summary
This prospective, single-center post-market-follow-up study aims to fill knowledge gaps by combining advanced cardiac MRI/MRS with systemic mitochondrial assays and exercise testing to characterize the energetic and functional impact of IASD therapy in HFrEF patients.
Official title: Interatrial Shunt Device (IASD) Treatment in Symptomatic Heart Failure With Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) Alleviates Elevated Myocardial Left Ventricular Pressures, Improves Myocardial Mitochondrial Function and Promotes Regional and Global Myocardial Recovery

Interventions
cardiac MRI
Cardiac Imaging: Multiparametric cardiac MRI (cMRI) and Phosphorus-31 Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (³¹P-MRS) at rest and during cycle ergometry to evaluate ventricular volumes, pressures, and myocardial energy efficiency
Functional Testing
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) to quantify functional capacity via VO2 max and standardized symptom assessment in the heart failure unit.
