Inclusion and exclusion criteria

Select Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age ≥ 18 years

  • Prior diagnosis of Group 2 PH due to HFpEF, with at least one of the following resting hemodynamic criteria confirmed in the past year by right heart catheterization

    1. mPAP > 20 mmHg at rest
    2. mPAP/CO slope > 3 mmHg/L/min with exercise
  • Confirmation of the following hemodynamic criteria during supine exercise: PCWP ≥ 25 mmHg, or PCWP/CO slope > 2 mmHg/L/min

  • Chronic symptomatic heart failure documented by the following:

    1. NYHA HF Class II with history > II, or Class III, or ambulatory Class IV
    2. ≥ 1 HF hospitalization, or healthcare facility with IV diuretics or intensification of oral diuresis for HF within 12 months, or NT-pro BNP value > 400 pg/mL in normal sinus rhythm or > 750 pg/mL in atrial fibrillation in past 6 months
  • Ongoing stable guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT) for HF and medically optimized per treating cardiologist according to current ACCF/AHA guidelines that is expected to be maintained without change for 1 month (excluding diuretic dosage changes for HF optimization within 30 days of the Index Procedure)

  • Right ventricular dysfunction, defined as one or more of the following

    1. Greater than moderate RV dysfunction as assessed by TTE and/or MRI
    2. RV FAC < 35%
    3. TAPSE < 14 mm via TTE
    4. RV size severely enlarged compared to LV size as estimated by TTE and/or MRI
  • Severe tricuspid valve regurgitation

  • Peak systolic pulmonary arterial pressure > 80 mmHg by RHC at rest while awake

  • Mean pulmonary arterial pressure > 50 mmHg by RHC at rest while awake

  • PVR > 6 Wood units at rest while awake on room air

  • Left ventricular ejection fraction < 50%

  • Severe heart failure, defined as one or more of the following:

    1. ACC/AHA/ESC Stage D heart failure, non-ambulatory NYHA Class IV HF
    2. If BMI < 30, Cardiac Index < 2.0 L/min/m2
    3. If BMI ≥ 30, Cardiac Index < 1.8 L/min/m2
    4. Requires continuous intravenous inotropic infusion
    5. Requires mechanical circulatory support
    6. Currently on the cardiac transplant waiting list
  • Chronic renal dysfunction defined as: eGFR < 35 mL/min/1.73 m2 by the CKD-Epi equation

  • Chronic pulmonary disease defined as one or more of the following:

    1. Requires continuous home oxygen therapy
    2. Recent hospitalization for exacerbation within 12 months prior to screening
    3. FEV1 < 50% predicted
