Abstrakt:	Background: Blood volume (BV) profiles vary markedly in patients with heart failure (HF), but how HF phenotypes and patient sex impact volume profiles remain to be explored. The aim of the study was to differentiate BV, plasma volume, and red blood cell mass profiles by phenotypes of preserved and reduced left ventricular ejection fractions and assess the impact of patient sex on profile heterogeneity. Methods: Retrospective analysis of clinical and BV data was undertaken in patients with chronic New York Heart Association II-III heart failure. BV was quantitated using the nuclear medicine indicator-dilution methodology. Results: A total of 530 BV analyses (360 HF with reduced ejection fraction and 170 HF with preserved ejection fraction) were identified in 395 unique patients. Absolute BV was greater in HF with reduced ejection fraction (6.7±1.8 versus 5.9±1.6 liters: P <0.001); however, large variability in frequency distribution of volume profiles was observed in both phenotypes (-22% deficit to +109% excess relative to normal volumes). HF with reduced ejection fraction was characterized by a higher prevalence of BV expansion ≥+25% of normal (39% versus 26%; P =0.003), and HF with preserved ejection fraction was characterized a by more frequent normal BV (42% versus 24%; P <0.001). Male sex in both phenotypes was associated with a larger absolute BV (7.0±1.6 versus 5.1±1.3 liters; P <0.001) and higher frequency of large BV and plasma volume expansions above normal (both P <0.001), while females in both phenotypes demonstrated a higher prevalence of normal BV and plasma volume (both P <0.001). Conclusions: Findings support significant differences in BV, plasma volume, and red blood cell mass profile distributions between heart failure phenotypes, driven in large part by sex-specific factors. This underscores the importance of identifying and distinguishing individual patient volume profiles to help guide volume management strategies. Competing Interests: Disclosures None.
