Popis: Background Patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) exhibit lower efficiency, dyspnea, and diminished peak oxygen uptake (VO 2 peak) during exercise. Dietary nitrate (NO 3 − ), a source of nitric oxide (NO), has improved these measures in some studies of other populations. We determined the effects of acute NO 3 − ingestion on exercise responses in 8 patients with HFrEF using a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design. Methods and Results Plasma NO 3 − , nitrite (NO 2 − ), and breath NO were measured at multiple time points and respiratory gas exchange was determined during exercise after ingestion of beetroot juice containing or devoid of 11.2 mmol of NO 3 − . NO 3 − intake increased ( P 3 − and NO 2 − and breath NO by 1469 ± 245%, 105 ± 34%, and 60 ± 18%, respectively. Efficiency and ventilation during exercise were unchanged. However, NO 3 − ingestion increased ( P 2 peak by 8 ± 2% (ie, from 21.4 ± 2.1 to 23.0 ± 2.3 mL . min −1. kg −1 ). Time to fatigue improved ( P Conclusions Acute dietary NO 3 − intake increases VO 2 peak and performance in patients with HFrEF. These data, in conjunction with our recent data demonstrating that dietary NO 3 − also improves muscle contractile function, suggest that dietary NO 3 − supplementation may be a valuable means of enhancing exercise capacity in this population.
