Exercise capacity in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction.
Normal or near-normal exercise capacity has been thought to reflect normal left ventricular function. Many compensatory mechanisms could preserve exercise capacity in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction. We evaluated exercise capacity using a treadmill exercise test in 26 patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction defined by a left ventricular ejection fraction of 30% or le...
متن کاملPulmonary vascular response patterns during exercise in left ventricular systolic dysfunction predict exercise capacity and outcomes.
BACKGROUND Elevated resting pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) purports a poor prognosis. However, PAP response patterns to exercise in LVSD and their relationship to functional capacity and outcomes have not been characterized. METHODS AND RESULTS Sixty consecutive patients with LVSD (age 60±12 years, left ventricular ejection frac...
متن کاملPulmonary diffusing capacity in left ventricular dysfunction.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether there are any consistent spirometric or Dsb findings in patients with LV dysfunction characterized by a clinical diagnosis of CHF and an EF less than 40 percent. We performed spirometry and Dsb in 34 patients, and found that EF correlated only with Dsb. When we separated the patients into those with rales and those without, Dsb correlated stron...
متن کاملContribution of exercise-induced mitral regurgitation to exercise stroke volume and exercise capacity in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
BACKGROUND Functional mitral regurgitation (MR) is common in patients with heart failure and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, and its severity may vary over time, depending primarily on the loading conditions. Because dynamic changes in the severity of functional MR may affect forward stroke volume, we hypothesized that exercise-induced changes in MR severity influence the stroke volume respo...
متن کاملNormal exercise capacity in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction: compensatory mechanisms.
About one-third of patients who have severe left ventricular dysfunction can achieve normal levels of exercise. To elucidate the mechanisms that permit this to occur, we studied six patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction (average left ventricular ejection fraction 17 +/- 2.5% [mean +/- SEM]) who achieved nearly normal levels of exercise tolerance (greater than 11 minutes of treadmill...
