Prognostic impact of peak oxygen consumption in heart failure: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Based on 64 studies, each 1 mL/kg/min increase in VO2peak significantly reduced all‐cause mortality (HR: 0.86, 95% CI 0.82–0.90) and combined outcomes of ventricular assist device, transplant and all‐cause mortality (HR: 0.84, 95% CI 0.79–0.89) in patients with heart failure, though no significant association was observed with cardiovascular mortality (
