Prolonged exercise training reverses the LV stiffening associated with healthy but sedentary aging; however, whether it can also normalize LV myocardial stiffness in patients at high risk for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is unknown. In a prospective, randomized controlled trial, we hypothesized that 1-year prolonged exercise training would reduce LV myocardial stiffness in patients with LV hypertrophy.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>\n              Forty-six patients with LV hypertrophy (LV septum &gt;11 mm) and elevated cardiac biomarkers (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide [&gt;40 pg\/mL] or high-sensitivity troponin T [&gt;0.6 pg\/mL]) were randomly assigned to either 1 year of high-intensity exercise training (n=30) or attention control (n=16). Right-heart catheterization and 3-dimensional echocardiography were performed while preload was manipulated using both lower body negative pressure and rapid saline infusion to define the LV end-diastolic pressure-volume relationship. A constant representing LV myocardial stiffness was calculated from the following: P=S\u00d7[Exp {a (V\u2013V\n              <jats:sub>0<\/jats:sub>\n              )}\u20131], where \u201cP\u201d is transmural pressure (pulmonary capillary wedge pressure \u2013 right atrial pressure), \u201cS\u201d is the pressure asymptote of the curve, \u201cV\u201d is the LV end-diastolic volume index, \u201cV\n              <jats:sub>0<\/jats:sub>\n              \u201d is equilibrium volume, and \u201ca\u201d is the constant that characterizes LV myocardial stiffness.\n            <\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>\n              Thirty-one participants (exercise group [n=20]: 54\u00b16 years, 65% male; and controls (n=11): 51\u00b16 years, 55% male) completed the study.
