Individuals with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and elevated cardiac biomarkers in middle-age are at increased risk for the development of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Prolonged exercise training reverses the LV stiffening associated with healthy but sedentary aging; however, whether it can also normalize LV myocardial stiffness in patients at high risk for HFpEF is unknown. In a prospective, randomized-controlled trial, we hypothesized that 1-year prolonged exercise training would reduce LV myocardial stiffness in patients with LVH. Forty-six patients with LVH (LV septum >1.1 mm) and elevated cardiac biomarkers [NT-proBNP (>40 pg/ml) or hsTnT (>0.6pg/ml)] were randomly assigned to either 1 year of high-intensity exercise training (N=30) or attention control (N=16). Right-heart catheterization and 3D-echocardiography were performed while preload was manipulated using both lower body negative pressure and rapid saline infusion to the define LV end-diastolic pressure-volume relationship (EDPVR). A constant representing LV myocardial stiffness was calculated from: P = S * [Exp { a (V–V0) } – 1], where P is transmural pressure [pulmonary capillary wedge pressure – right atrial pressure], S is the pressure asymptote of the curve, V is LVEDV index, V0 is equilibrium volume, and “a” is the constant that characterizes LV myocardial stiffness. Thirty-one participants [exercise group (N=20); 54±6 years; 65% male and controls (N=11): 51±6 years, 55% male] completed the study. One-year of exercise training increased V̇O2max by 21% (pre 26.0±5.3 to post 31.3±5.8 ml/min/kg, P<0.0001, interaction P=0.0004), whereas there was no significant change in V̇O2 max in controls (pre 24.6±3.4 to post 24.2±4.1 ml/min/kg, P=0.986). LV myocardial stiffness was reduced (right and downward shift in the EDPVR; pre LV myocardial stiffness 0.062±0.020 to post 0.031±0.009), whereas there was no significant change in controls (pre 0.061±0.033 to post 0.066±0.031, interaction P=0.001). In patients with LVH and elevated cardiac biomarkers (stage-B HFpEF), 1-year of exercise training reduced LV myocardial stiffness. Thus, exercise training may provide protection against the future risk of HFpEF in such patients. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03476785
