This study evaluated the role of hypertensive response to exercise (HRE) in heart failure and investigated the hemodynamic and prognostic factors associated with HRE. The results showed that systolic blood pressure and workload slope were significantly different in heart failure patients, and HRE was associated with adverse outcomes.
Aims Limited evidence is available regarding the role of hypertensive response to exercise (HRE) in heart failure (HF). We evaluated the systolic blood pressure (SBP) to workload slope during exercise across the HF spectrum, investigating haemodynamic and prognostic correlates of HRE. Methods and results We prospectively enrolled 369 patients with HF Stage C (143 had preserved [HFpEF], and 226 reduced [HFrEF] ejection fraction), 201 subjects at risk of developing HF (HF Stages A- B), and 58 healthy controls. We performed a combined cardiopulmonary exercise stress echocardiography testing. We defined HRE as the highest sex-specific SBP/workload slope tertile in each HF stage. Median SBP/workload slope was 0.53 mmHg/W (interquartile range 0.36-0.72); the slope was 39% steeper in women thanmen (p < 0.0001). After adjusting for age and sex, SBP/workload slope in HFrEF (0.47, 0.30- 0.63) was similar to controls (0.43, 0.35-0.57) but significantly lower than Stages A- B (0.61, 0.47- 0.75) and HFpEF (0.63, 0.42- 0.86). Patients with HRE showed significantly lower peak oxygen consumption and peripheral oxygen extraction. After a median follow-up of 16months, HRE was independently associated with adverse outcomes (all-cause mortality and hospitalization for cardiovascular reasons: hazard ratio 2.05, 95% confidence interval 1.81- 5.18), while rest and peak SBP were not. Kaplan-Meier analysis confirmed a worse survival probability in Stages A- B (p = 0.005) and HFpEF (p < 0.001), but not HFrEF. Conclusion A steeper SBP/workload slope is associated with impaired functional capacity across the HF spectrum and could be a more sensitive predictor of adverse events than absolute SBP values, mainly in patients in Stages A- B and HFpEF.
