Right ventricular (RV) adaptation is the principal determinant of outcomes in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), however, RV function is challenging to assess. RV responses to hemodynamic stressors are particularly difficult to interrogate without invasive testing. This study sought to identify metabolomic markers of in vivo right ventricular function and exercise performance in PAH. Consecutive subjects with PAH (n = 23) underwent rest and exercise right heart catheterization with multibeat pressure volume loop analysis. Pulmonary arterial blood was collected at rest and during exercise. Mass spectrometry-based targeted metabolomics were performed, and metabolic associations with hemodynamics and comprehensive measures of RV function were determined using sparse partial least squares regression. Metabolite profiles were compared with N-terminal prohormone of B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) measurements for accuracy in modeling ventriculo-arterial parameters. Thirteen metabolites changed in abundance with exercise, including metabolites reflecting increased arginine bioavailability, precursors of catecholamine and nucleotide synthesis, and branched-chain amino acids. Higher resting arginine bioavailability predicted more favorable exercise hemodynamics and pressure-flow relationships. Subjects with more severe PAH augmented arginine bioavailability with exercise to a greater extent than subjects with less severe PAH. We identified relationships between kynurenine pathway metabolism and impaired ventriculo-arterial coupling, worse RV diastolic function, lower RV contractility, diminished RV contractility with exercise, and RV dilation with exercise. Metabolite profiles outperformed NT-proBNP in modeling RV contractility, diastolic function, and exercise performance. Specific metabolite profiles correspond to RV functional measurements only obtainable via invasive pressure-volume loop analysis and predict RV responses to exercise. Metabolic profiling may inform discovery of RV functional biomarkers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
