Article Synopsis
- - The study compares how pulmonary oxygen uptake (VO2p), muscle deoxygenation ([HHb]), and microvascular oxygen delivery (QOmv) differ between heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and those with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
- - HFrEF patients showed significantly slower VO2 kinetics, quicker muscle deoxygenation responses, and higher microvascular oxygen delivery compared to HFpEF patients, along with a shorter time to exercise intolerance.
- - The analysis revealed that higher body fat negatively affects oxygen diffusion and exercise performance, while increased lean muscle correlates positively with better oxygen uptake and muscle oxygenation in HFrEF patients.
Relationship of Lung Function and Inspiratory Strength with Exercise Capacity and Prognosis in Heart Failure.

Background: Spirometry is underused in heart failure (HF) and the extent to which each defect associates with exercise capacity and prognosis is unclear.
Objective: To determine the distinct relationship of continuous %predicted FVC (ppFVC) and FEV1/FVC with: 1) maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), exercise performance; and 2) prognosis for the composite of cardiovascular death, heart transplantation or left ventricular assist device implant.
Methods: A cohort of 111 HF participants (AHA stages C/D) without diagnosed pneumopathy, spirometry, manovacuometry and maximum cardiopulmonary test.
Resistance exercise enhances oxygen uptake without worsening cardiac function in patients with systolic heart failure: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Heart Fail Rev
January 2018
Recent literature suggests that resistance training (RT) improves peak oxygen uptake ([Formula: see text] peak), similarly to aerobic exercise (AE) in patients with heart failure (HF), but its effect on cardiac remodeling is controversial. Thus, we examined the effects of RT and AE on [Formula: see text] peak and cardiac remodeling in patients with heart failure (HF) via a systematic review and meta-analysis. MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and CINAHL, AMEDEO and PEDro databases search were extracted study characteristics, exercise type, and ventricular outcomes.
