Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The primary endpoint is the peak increase in modified preload-adjusted maximal power during DSE using non-invasive tonometry estimates of central aortic pressure, and echocardiographic assessment of proximal aorta flow

Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Potential subjects will be identified from the heart failure population scheduled for visits to the heart failure clinic, use of the GIM Funneling Project and the University of Wisconsin Institute on Aging.

You may qualify if:

  • mentally stable and willing to give informed consent
  • sinus rhythm on resting ECG
  • systolic blood pressure \> 90 mmHg
  • ejection fraction \> 45% assessed within the last year
  • stable heart failure for at least one month prior to study

You may not qualify if:

  • unstable angina or hemodynamic instability
  • known severe coronary artery disease without surgical or percutaneous revascularization
  • angina pectoris with usual activities
  • history of myocardial infarction in the previous six months, significant valvular abnormalities, pulmonary hypertension, COPD or pulmonary emboli, intracardiac thrombus, sustained ventricular tachycardia induced by dobutamine in the past, or known allergy or other intolerance to dobutamine
  • uncontrolled hypertension
  • pregnant women
  • permanent pacemaker with pacemaker dependency
  • known poor echocardiographic images
