<jats:title>Purpose of Review</jats:title>
<jats:p>Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) constitutes an important etiology of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) or heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF). Since patients with CA show early exhaustion, we aimed to investigate whether non-exertional variables of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) provide additional information in comparison to traditional peak oxygen consumption (VO<jats:sub>2peak</jats:sub>).</jats:p>

<jats:title>Recent Findings</jats:title>
<jats:p>We retrospectively investigated CPET variables of patients with HFpEF and HFmrEF with (<jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 21) and without (<jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 21, HF) CA at comparable age and ejection fraction. Exertional and non-exertional CPET variables as well as laboratory and echocardiographic markers were analyzed. The primary outcome was the difference in CPET variables between groups. The secondary outcome was rehospitalization in patients with CA during a follow-up of 24 months. Correlations between CPET, NTproBNP, and echocardiographic variables were calculated to detect patterns of discrimination between the groups. HF patients with CA were inferior to controls in most exertional and non-exertional CPET variables. Patients with CA were hospitalized more often (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = 0.002), and rehospitalization was associated with VE/VCO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = 0.019), peak oxygen pulse (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = 0.042), the oxygen equivalent at the first ventilatory threshold (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = 0.003), circulatory (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = 0.024), and ventilatory power (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < .001), but not VO<jats:sub>2peak</jats:sub> (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = 0.127). Higher performance was correlated with lower E/e’ and NTproBNP as well as higher resting heart rate and stroke volume in CA.</jats:p>

<jats:title>Summary</jats:title>
<jats:p>Patients with CA displayed worse non-exertional CPET performance compared to non-CA HF patients, which was associated with rehospitalization. Differences between correlations of resting echocardiography and CPET variables between groups emphasize different properties of exercise physiology despite comparable ejection fraction.</jats:p>
