Popis: Integrative interpretation of cardiopulmonary exercise tests (CPETs) may improve assessment of cardiovascular (CV) risk. Here, we identified patient phenogroups based on CPET summary metrics and evaluated their predictive value for CV events. We included 2280 patients with diverse CV risk who underwent maximal CPET by cycle ergometry. Key CPET indices and information on incident CV events (median follow-up time: 5.3 years) were derived. Next, we applied unsupervised clustering by Gaussian Mixture modeling to subdivide the cohort into four male and four female phenogroups solely based on differences in CPET metrics. Ten of 18 CPET metrics were used for clustering as eight were removed due to high collinearity. In males and females, the phenogroups differed significantly in age, BMI, blood pressure, disease prevalence, medication intake and spirometry. In males, phenogroups 3 and 4 presented a significantly higher risk for incident CV events than phenogroup 1 (multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio: 1.51 and 2.19; p ≤ 0.048). In females, differences in the risk for future CV events between the phenogroups were not significant after adjustment for clinical covariables. Integrative CPET-based phenogrouping, thus, adequately stratified male patients according to CV risk. CPET phenomapping may facilitate comprehensive evaluation of CPET results and steer CV risk stratification and management.
