Impaired exercise tolerance, determined by peak oxygen consumption (V̇o2 peak), is predictive of mortality and the necessity for cardiac transplantation in patients with chronic heart failure (HF). However, the role of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function at rest, reflected by chamber stiffness assessed echocardiographically, as a determinant of exercise tolerance is unknown. Increased LV chamber stiffness and limitation of V̇o2 peakare known correlates of HF. Yet, the relationship between chamber stiffness and V̇o2 peakin subjects with HF has not been fully determined. Forty-one patients with HF New York Heart Association [(NYHA) class 2.4 ± 0.8, mean ± SD] had echocardiographic studies and V̇o2 peakmeasurements. Transmitral Doppler E waves were analyzed using a previously validated method to determinek, the LV chamber stiffness parameter. Multiple linear regression analysis of V̇o2 peakvariance indicated that LV chamber stiffnessk(r2= 0.55) and NYHA classification (r2= 0.43) were its best independent predictors and when taken together account for 59% of the variability in V̇o2 peak. We conclude that diastolic function at rest, as manifested by chamber stiffness, is a major determinant of maximal exercise capacity in HF.
