NCC type and burden have a significant and cumulative effect on exercise capacity, occur in clusters, and are associated with clinical outcomes in patients with chronic HF.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with chronic heart failure (HF) (reduced or preserved EF) in 5 trials
- Participants
- 2,777 patients
- Comparison
- NCC clusters and NCC burden
- Primary endpoint

Further findings
Median
| Outcome | HF with preserved ejection fraction | Reduced ejection fraction | P value |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCC burden by HF type · baseline | 3 (IQR 2–4) | 2 (IQR 1–3) | P < 0.001 |
Obesity and exercise capacity in HFpEF
- Obesity played a more important role in HFpEF in limiting peak Vo2 and 6MWT
Response to aerobic exercise training (peak Vo2), Cluster 3
- Diminished response to aerobic exercise training in Cluster 3
- P for interaction = 0.045
