Relation of changes over time in ventricular size and function to those in exercise capacity in patients with chronic heart failure.

چکیده
BACKGROUND We studied the direction and magnitude of changes in left ventricular (LV) cavity size and mass over time and whether these changes were related to those in exercise performance in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). METHODS AND RESULTS The study group was composed of 59 patients (55 men aged 58 +/- 10 years) with CHF and LV end-diastolic diameter (EDD) >55 mm. All underwent echocardiography and a treadmill cardiopulmonary exercise test within a 4-week interval (baseline) and again after a period of >/=4 months (median of 14 months). At baseline, the group as a whole had moderate to severe LV dysfunction with an EDD of 70 +/- 9 mm, end-systolic diameter (ESD) of 60 +/- 11 mm, and LV mass of 500 +/- 200 g. The mean peak oxygen consumption (Vo (2), 18 +/- 6 mL/kg per minute) was unrelated to LV cavity size or mass. EDD increased in 37 (63%) of the patients and fell in 22 (37%) patients from the initial to the second test. The absolute magnitude of changes over time averaged 7 mm for EDD, 125 g for mass, and 6 mL/kg per minute for peak Vo(2). Changes in LV size and mass per year were significantly related to those in peak Vo(2) (r = -0.49 for EDD, r = -0.56 for ESD, and r = -0.44 for LV mass, respectively, all P <.001) and ventilatory response to exercise (r = 0.60, r = 0.58, and r = 0.72 for EDD, ESD, and LV mass; respectively, all P <.001). CONCLUSIONS Changes over time in objective measures of LV dimensions and mass, in patients with CHF are significantly related to those in exercise capacity and respiratory efficiency.

Background: Exercise improves functional capacity by improving endothelial function and musculoskeletal aerobic metabolism, but its effects on hemodynamic control are not well known. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic and resistance trainings on structural changes and blood pressure in patients with heart failure. Materials and methods: 76 patients aged 65 to 79 year...

Background: Chronic hypertension causes structural and functional changes in the heart, ultimately leading to heart failure (HF), which further increases mortality and morbidit. HF is a complex clinical syndrome caused by various structural or functional abnormalities of the heart that impair the filling capacity of the ventricles. The findings of various trials have shown the association betwe...
