Resumen:
Introduction and objectives: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a highly prevalent syndrome with an elevated risk of morbidity and mortality. To date, there is scarce evidence on the role of peak exercise oxygen uptake (peak VO2) for predicting the morbidity burden in HFpEF. We sought to evaluate the association between peak VO2 and the risk of recurrent hospitalizations in patients with HFpEF. Methods: A total of 74 stable symptomatic patients with HFpEF underwent a cardiopulmonary exercise test between June 2012 and May 2016. A negative binomial regression method was used to determine the association between the percentage of predicted peak VO2 (pp-peak V02) and recurrent hospitalizations. Risk estimates are reported as incidence rate ratios. Results: The mean age was 72.5 +/- 9.1 years, 53% were women, and all patients were in New York Heart Association functional class II to III. Mean peak VO2 and median pp-peak VO2 were 10 +/- 2.8 mL/min/kg and 60% (range, 47-67), respectively. During a median follow-up of 276 days [interquartile range, 153-1231], 84 all-cause hospitalizations in 31 patients (41.9%) were registered. A total of 15 (20.3%) deaths were also recorded. On multivariate analysis, accounting for mortality as a terminal event, pp-peak VO2 was independently and linearly associated with the risk of recurrent admission. Thus, and modeled as continuous, a 10% decrease of pp-peak VO2 increased the risk of recurrent hospitalizations by 32% (IRR, 1.32; 95%CI, 1.03-1.68; P = .028). Conclusions: In symptomatic elderly patients with HFpEF, pp-peak VO2 predicts all-cause recurrent admission. (C) 2017 Sociedad Espafiola de Cardiologia. Published by Elsevier Espana, S.L.U.
