Exercise capacity in patients with LV dysfunction.

چکیده
In the dysrhythmias shown in our figure 1, two appeared before ST-segment elevation reached its acme and therefore were classified as representing an occlusive type of dysrhythmia. Some of the electrical abnormalities produced during the occlusive phase (i.e., progressive delay of subepicardial activation),7 are maintained during early phase immediately after coronary reperfusion. These may be an important factor explaining the persistence of dysrhythmias after coronary flow resumes.7 NICHOLAS Z. KERIN, M.D. MELVYN RUBENFIRE, M.D. WALDEMAR J.

Effects of exercise training in patients with chronic heart failure and advanced left ventricular systolic dysfunction receiving β-blockers.
BACKGROUND It remains unclear whether patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and advanced left ventricular (LV) dysfunction on β-blocker therapy benefit from exercise training (ET). METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 45 CHF patients with advanced LV dysfunction [ejection fraction (LVEF) < 25%] and impaired exercise tolerance [normalized peak oxygen uptake (PVO₂) < 70%] receiving a β-blocker: 3...
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 کاملRelationship of Exercise Capacity and Left Ventricular Dimensions in Patients with a Normal Ejection Fraction. An Exploratory Study
OBJECTIVES Extreme endurance exercise is known to be associated with an enlargement of the left ventricular (LV) chamber, whereas inactivity results in inverse changes. It is unknown if these dimensional relationships exist in patients. METHODS We analyzed the relationship of exercise capacity and LV dimension in a cohort of sequential patients with a normal ejection fraction undergoing stres...
متن کاملIncreased Left Ventricular Stiffness Impairs Exercise Capacity in Patients with Heart Failure Symptoms Despite Normal Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction
Aims. Several mechanisms can be involved in the development of exercise intolerance in patients with heart failure despite normal left ventricular ejection fraction (HFNEF) and may include impairment of left ventricular (LV) stiffness. We therefore investigated the influence of LV stiffness, determined by pressure-volume loop analysis obtained by conductance catheterization, on exercise capacit...
متن کاملLeft ventricular torsional dynamics post exercise for LV diastolic function assessment
AIMS 2D speckle tracking echocardiography allows for assessment of left ventricular (LV) torsional deformation as a composite function of the radial, longitudinal and circumferential fibres. We test the hypothesis that post-exercise LV torsional dynamics are more sensitive markers for myocardial dysfunction than resting measures, and better predictors for exercise capacity compared to post-exer...
متن کاملEndothelial function and left ventricular diastolic functional reserve in type 2 diabetes mellitus
BACKGROUND Endothelial dysfunction is an early feature of vascular disease. Left ventricular (LV) diastolic reserve is the ability of the left ventricle to augment diastolic function with exercise and may be impaired in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). It is unclear if endothelial dysfunction is related to impaired LV diastolic reserve and diminished exercise capacity. METHODS 96 patient...
