PURPOSEPlasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels obtained at rest have been previously shown to be correlated with the global functional capacity measures of peak oxygen uptake (V̇O 2peak) and the minute ventilation/carbon dioxide (VE/V̇CO 2) slope. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship of the plasma BNP level to the rate-pressure product (RPP) as an indicator of central or cardiac work capacity.METHODSTwenty-two subjects (12 men), mean age 57±12 years, diagnosed with heart failure (8 ischemic/14 nonischemic) were recruited. All subjects were stable on optimal medical therapy for at least 1 month. Blood samples for BNP level analysis were obtained at rest. Subjects underwent a symptom-limited treadmill exercise test using a ramping protocol while V̇O 2, heart rate (HR), and blood pressure (BP) were monitored. Correlation analyses were conducted to assess the relationship of BNP level to RPP level, V̇O 2peak, VE/V̇CO 2 slope, end-tidal CO 2 pressure (P ET CO 2), and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).RESULTSResting BNP levels were significantly correlated with RPP levels (r=− 0.69). The BNP level and the RPP level were correlated with V̇O 2peak (r=− 0.63 and r= 0.66, respectively) and VE/V̇CO 2 slope (r= 0.53 and r=− 0.54, respectively). The RPP level but not the BNP level was correlated with P ET CO 2 (r= 0.57). Neither BNP nor RPP levels were well correlated with LVEF (r=− 0.26 and r= 0.14, respectively).DISCUSSIONThe results of this study suggest that resting plasma BNP level may be a useful clinical measure for evaluating both global functional capacity and myocardial specific work capacity in individuals with heart failure.
