%X <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is characterized by ventricular remodeling and impaired myocardial energetics. Left ventricular pressure-volume (PV) loop analysis can be performed noninvasively using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging to assess cardiac thermodynamic efficiency.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>The aim of the study was to investigate whether noninvasive PV loop parameters, derived from CMR, could predict major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in HFrEF patients.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>PV loop parameters (stroke work, ventricular efficiency, external power, contractility, and energy per ejected volume) were computed from CMR cine images and brachial blood pressure. The primary end point was MACE (cardiovascular death, heart failure (HF) hospitalization, myocardial infarction, revascularization, ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation, heart transplantation, or left ventricular assist device implantation within 5 years). Associations between PV loop parameters and MACE were evaluated using multivariable Cox regression.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>One hundred and sixty-four HFrEF patients (left ventricular ejection fraction ≤40%, age 63 [IQR: 55-70] years, 79% male) who underwent clinical CMR examination between 2004 and 2014 were included. Eighty-eight patients (54%) experienced at least one MACE after an average of 2.8 years. Unadjusted models demonstrated a significant association between MACE and all PV loop parameters (P < 0.05 for all), HF etiology (P < 0.001), left ventricular ejection fraction (P = 0.003), global longitudinal strain (P < 0.001), and N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide level (P = 0.001). In the multivariable Cox regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, hypertension, diabetes, and HF etiology, ventricular efficiency was associated with MACE (HR: 1.04 (95% CI: 1.01-1.08) per-% decrease, P = 0.01).<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Ventricular efficiency, derived from noninvasive PV loop analysis from standard CMR scans, is associated with MACE in patients with HFrEF.
