Age-Stratified Prognostic Value of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing Parameters in Patients With Heart Failure
BACKGROUND: ) slope, in patients aged ≥80 years with heart failure (HF) remains unclear. OBJECTIVES: The study evaluated the age-stratified prognostic value of CPET parameters for adverse outcomes in patients with HF. METHODS: In this retrospective multicenter cohort study, we included 830 patients with HF who underwent CPET. The primary outcome was a composite of all-cause death or HF hospitalization within 3 years. CPET parameters were examined in 3 age groups: 20 to 64, 65 to 79, and ≥80 years. RESULTS: slope was comparable across age groups (20-64 years: 0.64 [0.56-0.72], 65-79 years: 0.68 [0.60-0.76], ≥80 years: 0.68 [0.55-0.81]). CONCLUSIONS: was most pronounced in older patients with HF, highlighting the importance of CPET-based risk stratification in this population.
