Background-Several studies have indicated that skeletal muscle is important in determining the exercise capacity of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), However, this theory has been investigated only in experiments based on local exercise involving a small muscle mass. We investigated skeletal muscle metabolism during maximal systemic exercise to determine whether muscle metabolism limits exercise capacity in patients with CHF, We also studied the relationship between muscle metabolic abnormalities during local and systemic exercise.Methods and Results-Skeletal muscle metabolism was measured during maximal systemic exercise on a bicycle ergometer by a combination of the metabolic freeze method and P-31 magnetic resonance spectroscopy in 12 patients with CHF and 7 age- and size-matched normal subjects. We also evaluated skeletal muscle metabolism during local exercise while subjects performed unilateral plantar flexion. Muscle phosphocreatine (PCr) was nearly depleted during maximal systemic exercise in patients with CHF and normal subjects (12.5+/-0.04% and 12.3+/-0.07%, respectively, of initial level). PCr depletion occurred at a significantly lower peak oxygen uptake (peak (V)over dot O-2) in patients with CHF than in normal subjects (CHF, 20.2+/-3.0 versus normal, 31.8+/-3.7 mL . min(-1) . kg(-1), P
