Percent Predicted Peak Exercise Oxygen Pulse Provides Insights Into Ventricular-Vascular Response and Prognosticates Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF)

JACC AdvPublished Cohort study

Authors' conclusion

In HFpEF, %PredO2P is a VVR marker that can stratify invasive parameters such as percent predicted peak stroke volume. %PredO2P is an independent prognostic marker for all-cause mortality and those with higher %PredO2P exhibited longer survival.

Study context

Population
HFpEF patients who underwent invasive CPETgrouped into %PredO2P tertiles
Participants
154 patients
Outcome
Association of %PredO2P with ventricular-vascular response (VVR) markers and with all-cause mortality
Follow-up
Median 5.6 years
Methodological detailsMean age 57 ± 15 years
  • Mean age 57 ± 15 years

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

%PredO2P vs effective arterial elastance, r
−0.45, P < 0.001
%PredO2P vs proportionate pulse pressure, r
−0.22, P = 0.008
%PredO2P vs %PredVO2, r
0.61, P < 0.001
All-cause mortality per percent increase in %PredO2P, HR (adjusted for age and BMI)
0.95, 95% CI 0.92-0.98, P = 0.003
Deaths
15%

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Higher %PredO2P correlated with higher exercise capacity
%PredO2P distinguished normal and abnormal percent predicted peak stroke volume
