Background:Ventilatory efficiency (minute ventilation required to eliminate carbon dioxide, VE/VCO2) during exercise potently predicts outcomes in advanced heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, but its prognostic significance for at-risk individuals with preserved left ventricular systolic function is unclear. We aimed to characterize mechanistic determinants and prognostic implications of VE/VCO2 in a single-center dyspneic referral cohort (MGH-ExS [Massachusetts General Hospital Exercise Study]) and in a large sample of community-dwelling participants in the FHS (Framingham Heart Study).Methods:Maximum incremental cardiopulmonary exercise tests were performed. VE/VCO2 was assessed as the slope pre- and post-ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VE/VCO2(pre-VATslope), VE/VCO2(post-VATslope)), the slope throughout exercise (VE/VCO2(overall-slope)), and as the lowest 30-second value (VE/VCO2(nadir)).Results:In the MGH-ExS (N=493, age 56 +/- 15 years, 61% women, left ventricular ejection fraction 64 +/- 8%), higher VE/VCO2(nadir) was associated with lower peak exercise cardiac output and steeper increases in exercise pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (both P
