There is a common dissociation between objective measures and patient symptomatology in heart failure (HF). To explore the relationship between cardiac biomechanics and physical and psychological symptoms in adults with moderate to advanced HF. We performed a secondary analysis of data from two studies of symptoms among adults with HF. Stepwise regression modeling was performed to examine the influence of cardiac biomechanics (left ventricular internal diastolic diameter (LVIDd), right atrial pressure (RAP), and cardiac index) on symptoms. Average age of the sample (n=273) was 57±16 years,61% were male, and 61% had class III or IV HF. LVIDd (β=4.22±1.63, p=0.011), RAP (β=0.71±0.28, p=0.013), and cardiac index (β=7.11±3.19, p=0.028) were significantly associated with physical symptoms. LVIDd (β=0.10±0.05, p=0.038) and RAP (β=0.03±0.01, p=0.039) were significantly associated with anxiety. There were no significant biomechanical determinants of depression. Cardiac biomechanics were related to physical symptoms and anxiety providing preliminary evidence of the biological underpinnings of symptomatology among adults with HF.
