N2 - Objective: To determine whether nitrite can enhance exercise training (ET) effects in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Methods: In this multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial conducted at 1 urban and 9 rural outreach centers between November 22, 2016, and December 9, 2021, patients with HFpEF underwent ET along with inorganic nitrite 40 mg or placebo 3 times daily. The primary end point was peak oxygen consumption (VO2). Secondary end points included Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire overall summary score (KCCQ-OSS, range 0 to 100; higher scores reflect better health status), 6-minute walk distance, and actigraphy. Results: Of 92 patients randomized, 73 completed the trial because of protocol modifications necessitated by loss of drug availability. Most patients were older than 65 years (80%), were obese (75%), and lived in rural settings (63%). At baseline, median peak VO2 (14.1 mL·kg−1·min−1) and KCCQ-OSS (63.7) were severely reduced. Exercise training improved peak VO2 (+0.8 mL·kg−1·min−1; 95% CI, 0.3 to 1.2; P<.001) and KCCQ-OSS (+5.5; 95% CI, 2.5 to 8.6; P<.001). Nitrite was well tolerated, but treatment with nitrite did not affect the change in peak VO2 with ET (nitrite effect, −0.13; 95% CI, −1.03 to 0.76; P=.77) or KCCQ-OSS (−1.2; 95% CI, −7.2 to 4.9; P=.71). This pattern was consistent across other secondary outcomes. Conclusion: For patients with HFpEF, ET administered for 12 weeks in a predominantly rural setting improved exercise capacity and health status, but compared with placebo, treatment with inorganic nitrite did not enhance the benefit from ET. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02713126.
