Peak oxygen uptake (pVo(2)) is an important parameter in assessing the functional capacity and prognosis of patients with heart failure. In heart failure trials, change in pVo(2) was often used to assess the effectiveness of an intervention. However, the within-subject variability of pVo(2) on serial testing may limit its usefulness. This study was designed to evaluate the within-subject variability of pVo(2) over 2 baseline cardiopulmonary exercise tests. As a substudy of the HF-ACTION trial, 398 subjects (73% men, 27% women; mean age 59 years) with heart failure and left ventricular ejection fraction 1 baseline cardiopulmonary exercise test.
