Post-Exercise Oxygen Uptake Recovery Delay: A Novel Index of Impaired Cardiac Reserve Capacity in Heart Failure.
JACC. Heart Failure 2018 April
OBJECTIVES: This study sought to characterize the functional and prognostic significance of oxygen uptake (VO2 ) kinetics following peak exercise in individuals with heart failure (HF).
BACKGROUND: It is unknown to what extent patterns of VO2 recovery following exercise reflect circulatory response during exercise in HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
METHODS: We investigated patients (30 HFpEF, 20 HFrEF, and 22 control subjects) who underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing with invasive hemodynamic monitoring and a second distinct HF cohort (n = 106) who underwent noninvasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing with assessment of long-term outcomes. Fick cardiac output (CO) and cardiac filling pressures were measured at rest and throughout exercise in the initial cohort. A novel metric, VO2 recovery delay (VO2 RD), defined as time until post-exercise VO2 falls permanently below peak VO2 , was measured to characterize VO2 recovery kinetics.
RESULTS: VO2 RD in patients with HFpEF (median 25 s [interquartile range (IQR): 9 to 39 s]) and HFrEF (28 s [IQR: 2 to 52 s]) was in excess of control subjects (5 s [IQR: 0 to 7 s]; p < 0.0001 and p = 0.003, respectively). VO2 RD was inversely related to cardiac output augmentation during exercise in HFpEF (ρ = -0.70) and HFrEF (ρ = -0.73, both p < 0.001). In the second cohort, VO2 RD predicted transplant-free survival in univariate and multivariable Cox regression analysis (Cox hazard ratios: 1.49 and 1.37 per 10-s increase in VO2 RD, respectively; both p < 0.005).
CONCLUSIONS: Post-exercise VO2 RD is an easily recognizable, noninvasively derived pattern that signals impaired cardiac output augmentation during exercise and predicts outcomes in HF. The presence and duration of VO2 RD may complement established exercise measurements for assessment of cardiac reserve capacity.
