Hemoglobin is an independent predictor of improvement exercise tolerance in male patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy
Exercise intolerance is a symptom of chronic heart failure (CHF). The magnitude of exercise tolerance, as measured by peak oxygen uptake (peak VO 2 ), is strongly associated with prognosis in patients with CHF. We aimed to evaluate the factors associated with improved exercise tolerance in patients...

Summary: | Exercise intolerance is a symptom of chronic heart failure (CHF). The magnitude of exercise tolerance, as measured by peak oxygen uptake (peak VO
2
), is strongly associated with prognosis in patients with CHF. We aimed to evaluate the factors associated with improved exercise tolerance in patients with HF. In this prospective study, we recruited patients who were diagnosed with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy between September 2017 and September 2021. All patients underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing at discharge and 6 months after enrollment. The patients were stratified according to whether peak VO
2
was increased or not at 6 months. One hundred patients with a reduced left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF |
