Each 1-category worsening in composite physical reserve was associated with a 2.6-fold increased odds of NYHA class III-IV symptoms in men with systolic heart failure.

Does combined endurance and strength assessment identify clinical phenotype severity in men with systolic heart failure?
Combined endurance and strength assessment may serve as a simple tool for clinical phenotype stratification in men with systolic heart failure.

Lower combined endurance and strength identify HF patients with a more severe clinical phenotype and greater treatment intensity. This functional performance-based categorization may offer a simple, promising tool for clinical phenotype stratification in systolic HF.
Żołyński et al. (Mon,) conducted a cross-sectional in Systolic heart failure (n=332). Composite physical reserve (CPR) categorization vs. Category 1 (higher endurance and strength) was evaluated on NYHA class III-IV (per 1-category increase in severity) (OR 2.6, 95% CI 1.78-3.8, p=<0.001). Each 1-category worsening in composite physical reserve was associated with a 2.6-fold increased odds of NYHA class III-IV symptoms in men with systolic heart failure.
