Overview

Brief Summary

Introduction : Patients with heart failure (HF ) with systolic dysfunction of moderate to severe exhibit significant reduction in the ability to exercise compared to those with mild dysfunction , and have worse prognosis. However, some clinical markers of severity and diagnosis widely used in this population such as ejection fraction (EF) , are not always able to translate the actual degree of cardiac damage as well as their relationship with the cardiorespiratory fitness of these individuals and prognosis .

Objective: To evaluate the ability of the global longitudinal strain ( GLS ) in predicting exercise tolerance in heart failure patients with moderate and significant systolic dysfunction.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • moderate and significant systolic dysfunction (LVEF \< 45%) assessed by transthoracic echocardiography recent ( last month before evaluation ) Teichholz method , or when in the presence of contractile deficit target , by the Simpson method.

Exclusion Criteria

  • deformity in the face to prevent the coupling of the mask to perform the CPET ,
  • orthopedic and neurological diseases that could make it impossible to perform the tests ,
  • patients with psychiatric disorders that restricted them to respond to the questionnaire ,
  • HF FC IV or hospitalization in the last three months ,
  • angina unstable;
  • myocardial infarction or heart surgery up to three months before the survey ;
  • FEV1 / FVC \<70 % predicted characterizing obstructive respiratory disorder .

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Echocardiography for obtaining the "strain "

Time Frame: 1 day

To strain of technical analysis will be used echocardiography analysis software ( EchoPAC , GE Medical Systems, Horten , Norway, version 10.0 ) . The images will be analyzed in the longitudinal sections ( 4 bedrooms , 3 bedrooms and 2 cameras) . The endocardium is drawn manually from the septum to the lateral mitral annulus. A region of interest will be applied automatically by the software.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Cardiopulmonary Test(1 day)
