The mechanism of functional limitation in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains controversial. We examined the contributions of central cardiac and peripheral mechanisms and hypothesized that the pulmonary vascular response to exercise is an important determinant of aerobic capacity among patients with exertional pulmonary venous hypertension (ePVH). We compared 31 ePVH patients (peak VO2<80% predicted and peak pulmonary arterial wedge pressure≥20 mmHg) with 31 age and gender matched controls (peak VO2>80% predicted) who underwent invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing for unexplained exertional intolerance. ePVH patients had lower peak cardiac output (73±14 vs 103±18 % predicted; p<0.001) compared to controls, related both to impaired chronotropic response (peak HR 111±25 vs 136±24 bpm; p<0.001) and to reduced peak stroke volume index (47±10 vs 54±15 mL/min/m2; p=0.03). Peak systemic O2 extraction was not different between groups (arterial-mixed venous oxygen content difference: 13.0±2.1 vs 13.4±2.4 mL/dL; p=0.46). ePVH patients had higher resting (150±74 vs 106±50 dyne.s.cm−5; p=0.009), peak (124±74 vs 70±41 dyne.s.cm−5; p<0.001) and isoflow pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR; 124±74 vs 91±33 dyne.s.cm−5 at CO~10.6L/min; p=0.04). PVR decreased with exercise in all control subjects but increased in 36% (n=11) of ePVH patients. Abnormal pulmonary vascular response was not associated with peak VO2. Reduced cardiac output response, rather than impaired peripheral O2 extraction, constrains oxygen delivery and aerobic capacity in ePVH. Pulmonary vascular dysfunction is common in patients with ePVH at rest and with exercise.
