Resting energy expenditure was measured by indirect calorimetry in 11 patients (8 men, 3 women) with severe heart failure. The study was done after an over night fast (10-12 h). 5 patients suffered from idiopathic cardiomyopathy, 5 patients from coronary heart disease and 1 patient from congestive heart failure following from viral myocarditis. The cardiac index was 2.09 +/- 0.5 l/min/m2, the pulmonary capillary wedge pressure 24.6 +/- 8.0 mm Hg. Resting energy expenditure was 1.175 +/- 0.176 kcal/min/1.73 m2. The basal energy expenditure calculated according to Harris and Benedict was 1.008 +/- 0.055 kcal/min/1.73 m2. The difference was statistically significant (p less than 0.05). Respiratory quotient was 0.775 +/- 0.06 as a result of a high oxidation rate for fat (64.8% of total energy expenditure). These results show that after an overnight fast the caloric requirements of patients with severe heart failure are increased. This increased energy expenditure could be an explanation for the malnutrition often found in patients with severe chronic heart failure.
