<dc:description>Importance: Increasing the patient's heart rate (HR) has emerged as a therapeutic option in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, the evidence is conflicting, and the profile of patients who benefit most from this strategy remains unclear. Objective: To assess the association of β-blocker treatment withdrawal with changes in the percentage of predicted peak oxygen consumption (VO2) across indexed left ventricular diastolic (iLVEDV) and indexed left ventricular systolic volumes (iLVESV), and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with HFpEF and chronotropic incompetence. Design, Setting, and Participants: This post hoc analysis was conducted using data from the investigator-blinded multicenter, randomized, and crossover clinical trial, PRESERVE-HR, that took place from October 1, 2018, through December 31, 2020, to investigate the short-term effects (2 weeks) of β-blocker withdrawal on peak oxygen consumption (peak VO2). Patients with stable HFpEF (New York Heart Association functional class II to III) receiving treatment with β-blocker and chronotropic incompetence were included. Intervention: Participants in the PRESERVE-HR trial were randomized to withdraw vs continue with β-blocker treatment. After 2 weeks, they were crossed over to receive the opposite intervention. This crossover randomized clinical trial examined the short-term effect of β-blocker withdrawal on peak VO2. Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcome was to evaluate the association between β-blocker withdrawal and short-term changes in percentage of peak VO2across iLVEDV, iLVESV, and LVEF in patients with HFpEF and chronotropic incompetence treated with β-blocker. Results: A total of 52 patients (mean age, 73 [SD, 13] years; 60% female) were randomized. The mean resting HR, peak HR, peak VO2, and percentage of peak VO2were 65 (SD, 9) beats per minute (bpm), 97 (SD, 15) bpm, 12.4 (SD, 2.9) mL/kg per minute, and 72.4% (SD, 17.7%), respectively. The medians (minimum-maximum) of iLVEDV, iLVESV, and LVEF were 44 mL/m2(IQR, 19-82), 15 mL/m2(IQR, 7-32), and 64% (IQR, 52%-78%), respectively. After stopping β-blocker treatment, the median increase in peak HR was plus 30 bpm (95% CI, 25-35; P <.001). β-Blocker cessation was differentially associated with change of percentage of peak VO2across the continuum of iLVESV (P for interaction =.02), indicating a greater benefit in those with lower iLVESV. Conclusions and Relevance: In this study, results showed that in patients with HFpEF and chronotropic incompetence receiving treatment with β-blocker, lower iLVESV may identify those with a greater short-term improvement in maximal functional capacity after stopping β-blocker treatment. Further studies are warranted for further investigation. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03871803). © 2024 American Medical Association. All rights reserved.</dc:description>
