Subjects with greater aerobic fitness demonstrate better diastolic compliance at rest, but whether fitness modulates exercise cardiac compliance and cardiac filling pressures remains to be determined. On the basis of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), healthy male subjects were categorized into either low (LO: VO2max=43+/-6 ml.kg-1.min-1; n=3) or high (HI: VO2max=60+/-3 ml.kg-1.min-1; n=5) aerobic power. Subjects performed incremental cycle exercise to 90% Vo(2max). Right atrial (RAP) and pulmonary artery wedge (PAWP) pressures were measured, and left ventricular (LV) transmural filling pressure (TMFP=PAWP-RAP) was calculated. Cardiac output (CO) and stroke volume (SV) were determined by direct Fick, and LV end-diastolic volume (EDV) was estimated from echocardiographic fractional area change and Fick SV. There were no between-group differences for any measure at rest. At a submaximal workload of 150 W, PAWP and TMFP were higher (P<0.05) in LO compared with HI (12 vs. 8 mmHg, and 9 vs. 4 mmHg, respectively). At peak exercise, CO, SV, and EDV were lower in LO (P<0.05). RAP was not different at peak exercise, but PAWP (23 vs. 15 mmHg) and TMFP (12 vs. 6 mmHg) were higher in LO (P<0.05). Compared with less fit subjects, subjects with greater aerobic fitness demonstrated lower LV filling pressures during exercise, whereas SV and EDV were either similar (submaximal exercise) or higher (peak exercise), suggesting superior diastolic function and compliance. 相似文献

We sought to elucidate the relationship between diastolic intraventricular pressure gradients (IVPG) and exercise tolerance in patients with heart failure using color M-mode Doppler. Diastolic dysfunction has been implicated as a cause of low aerobic potential in patients with heart failure. We previously validated a novel method to evaluate diastolic function that involves noninvasive measurement of IVPG using color M-mode Doppler data. Thirty-one patients with heart failure and 15 normal subjects were recruited. Echocardiograms were performed before and after metabolic treadmill stress testing. Color M-mode Doppler was used to determine the diastolic propagation velocity (Vp) and IVPG off-line. Resting diastolic function indexes including myocardial relaxation velocity, Vp, and E/Vp correlated well with VO2max (r = 0.8, 0.5, and -0.5, respectively, P < 0.001 for all). There was a statistically significant increase in Vp and IVPG in both groups after exercise, but the change in IVPG was higher in normal subjects compared with patients with heart failure (2.6 +/- 0.8 vs. 1.1 +/- 0.8 mmHg, P < 0.05). Increase in IVPG correlated with peak VO2max (r = 0.8, P < 0.001) and was the strongest predictor of exercise capacity. Myocardial relaxation is an important determinant of exercise aerobic capacity. In heart failure patients, impaired myocardial relaxation is associated with reduced diastolic suction force during exercise. 相似文献

Peak oxygen uptake (VO(2 peak)) in patients with heart failure (HF) is inversely related to muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) at rest. We hypothesized that the MSNA response to handgrip exercise is augmented in HF patients and is greatest in those with low VO(2 peak). We studied 14 HF patients and 10 age-matched normal subjects during isometric [30% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC)] and isotonic (10%, 30%, and 50% MVC) handgrip exercise that was followed by 2 min of posthandgrip ischemia (PHGI). MSNA was significantly increased during exercise in HF but not normal subjects. Both MSNA and HF levels remained significantly elevated during PHGI after 30% isometric and 50% isotonic handgrip in HF but not normal subjects. HF patients with lower VO(2 peak) (<56% predicted; n = 8) had significantly higher MSNA during rest and exercise than patients with VO(2 peak) > 56% predicted (n = 6) and normal subjects. The muscle metaboreflex contributes to the greater reflex increase in MSNA during ischemic or intense nonischemic exercise in HF. This occurs at a lower threshold than normal and is a function of VO(2 peak). 相似文献

Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is a fundamental impairment in congestive heart failure (CHF). This study examined LV diastolic function in the canine model of CHF induced by chronic coronary embolization (CCE). Dogs were implanted with coronary catheters (both left anterior descending and circumflex arteries) for CCE and instrumented for measurement of LV pressure and dimension. Heart failure was elicited by daily intracoronary injections of microspheres (1.2 million, 90- to 120-microm diameter) for 24 +/- 4 days, resulting in significant depression of cardiac systolic function. After CCE, LV maximum negative change of pressure with time (dP/dt(min)) decreased by 25 +/- 2% (P < 0.05) and LV isovolumic relaxation constant and duration increased by 19 +/- 5% and 25 +/- 6%, respectively (both P < 0.05), indicating an impairment of LV active relaxation, which was cardiac preload independent. LV passive viscoelastic properties were evaluated from the LV end-diastolic pressure (EDP)-volume (EDV) relationship (EDP = be(alpha*EDV)) during brief inferior vena caval occlusion and acute volume loading, while the chamber stiffness coefficient (alpha) increased by 62 +/- 10% (P < 0.05) and the stiffness constant (k) increased by 66 +/- 13% after CCE. The regional myocardial diastolic stiffness in LV anterior and posterior walls was increased by 70 +/- 25% and 63 +/- 24% (both P < 0.05), respectively, after CCE, associated with marked fibrosis, increase in collagen I and III, and enhancement of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) protein expression. Thus along with depressed LV systolic function there is significant impairment of LV diastolic relaxation and increase in chamber stiffness, with development of myocardial fibrosis and activation of PAI-1, in the canine model of CHF induced by CCE. 相似文献

Chronic beta-adrenoreceptor (beta-AR) activation increases left ventricular (LV) cavity size by promoting a rightward shift in LV diastolic pressure-volume (P-V) relations in association with increases in low-tensile strength myocardial (non-cross-linked) collagen concentrations. Because diastolic P-V relations are determined by chamber remodeling as well as by myocardial material properties (indexed by myocardial stiffness), both of which are associated with modifications in myocardial collagen cross-linking, we evaluated whether chamber remodeling or alterations in myocardial material properties govern beta-AR-mediated modifications in diastolic P-V relations. The effects of chronic administration of isoproterenol (Iso; 0.04 mg.kg(-1).day(-1) from 12 to 19 mo of age) to spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) on LV cavity dimensions, LV diastolic P-V relations, myocardial collagen characteristics, myocardial stiffness constants [e.g., the slope of the LV diastolic stress-strain relation (k)], and LV chamber and myocardial systolic function were assessed. SHRs at 19 mo of age had normal LV diastolic P-V relations, marked myocardial fibrosis (using a pathological score), increased myocardial cross-linked (insoluble to cyanogen bromide digestion) type I and type III collagen concentrations, and enhanced myocardial k values. Iso administration to SHRs resulted in enlarged LV cavity dimensions mediated by a rightward shift in LV diastolic P-V relations, increased volume intercept of the LV diastolic P-V relation, decreased LV relative wall thickness despite a tendency to augment LV hypertrophy, and increased non-cross-linked type I and type III myocardial collagen concentrations. Iso administration resulted in reduced pump function without modification of intrinsic myocardial systolic function. However, despite increasing myocardial non-cross-linked concentrations, Iso failed to alter myocardial k in SHRs. These results suggest that beta-AR-mediated rightward shifts in LV diastolic P-V relations, which induce decreased pump function, are mediated by chamber remodeling but not by modifications in myocardial material properties. 相似文献

A chamber stiffness (K(LV))-transmitral flow (E-wave) deceleration time relation has been invasively validated in dogs with the use of average stiffness [(DeltaP/DeltaV)(avg)]. K(LV) is equivalent to k(E), the (E-wave) stiffness of the parameterized diastolic filling model. Prediction and validation of 1) (DeltaP/DeltaV)(avg) in terms of k(E), 2) early rapid-filling stiffness [(DeltaP/DeltaV)(E)] in terms of k(E), and 3) passive (postdiastasis) chamber stiffness [(DeltaP/DeltaV)(PD)] from A waves in terms of the stiffness parameter for the Doppler A wave (k(A)) have not been achieved. Simultaneous micromanometric left ventricular (LV) pressure (LVP) and transmitral flow from 131 subjects were analyzed. (DeltaP)(avg) and (DeltaV)(avg) utilized the minimum LVP-LV end-diastolic pressure interval. (DeltaP/DeltaV)(E) utilized DeltaP and DeltaV from minimum LVP to E-wave termination. (DeltaP/DeltaV)(PD) utilized atrial systolic DeltaP and DeltaV. E- and A-wave analysis generated k(E) and k(A). For all subjects, noninvasive-invasive relations yielded the following equations: k(E) = 1,401. (DeltaP/DeltaV)(avg) + 59.2 (r = 0.84) and k(E) = 229.0. (DeltaP/DeltaV)(E) + 112 (r = 0.80). For subjects with diastasis (n = 113), k(A) = 1,640. (DeltaP/DeltaV)(PD) - 8.40 (r = 0.89). As predicted, k(A) showed excellent correlation with (DeltaP/DeltaV)(PD); k(E) correlated highly with (DeltaP/DeltaV)(avg). In vivo validation of average, early, and passive chamber stiffness facilitates quantitative, noninvasive diastolic function assessment from transmitral flow. 相似文献

Average left ventricular (LV) chamber stiffness (Delta P(avg)/Delta V(avg)) is an important diastolic function index. An E-wave-based determination of Delta P(avg)/Delta V(avg) (Little WC, Ohno M, Kitzman DW, Thomas JD, Cheng CP. Circulation 92: 1933-1939, 1995) predicted that deceleration time (DT) determines stiffness as follows: Delta P(avg)/Delta V(avg) = N(pi/DT)(2) (where N is constant), which implies that if the DTs of two LVs are indistinguishable, their stiffness is indistinguishable as well. We observed that LVs with indistinguishable DTs may have markedly different Delta P(avg)/Delta V(avg) values determined by simultaneous echocardiography-catheterization. To elucidate the mechanism by which LVs with indistinguishable DTs manifest distinguishable chamber stiffness, we use a validated, kinematic E-wave model (Kovács SJ, Barzilai B, Perez JE. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 252: H178-H187, 1987) with stiffness (k) and relaxation/viscoelasticity (c) parameters. Because the predicted linear relation between k and Delta P(avg)/Delta V(avg) has been validated, we reexpress the DT-stiffness (Delta P(avg)/Delta V(avg)) relation of Little et al. as follows: DT(k) approximately pi/(2k). Using the kinematic model, we derive the general DT-chamber stiffness/viscoelasticity relation as follows: DT(k,c) = pi/(2skrt[k])+c/(2k)(where c and k are determined directly from the E-wave), which reduces to DT(k) when c < k. Validation involved analysis of 400 E-waves by determination of five-beat averaged k and c from 80 subjects undergoing simultaneous echocardiography-catheterization. Clinical E-wave DTs were compared with model-predicted DT(k) and DT(k,c). Clinical DT was better predicted by stiffness and relaxation/viscoelasticity (r(2) = 0.84, DT vs. DT(k,c)) jointly rather than by stiffness alone (r(2) = 0.60, DT vs. DT(k)). Thus LVs can have indistinguishable DTs but significantly different Delta P(avg)/Delta V(avg) if chamber relaxation/viscoelasticity differs. We conclude that DT is a function of both chamber stiffness and chamber relaxation viscoelasticity. Quantitative diastolic function assessment warrants consideration of simultaneous stiffness and relaxation/viscoelastic effects. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the reduction in stroke volume (SV), previously shown to occur with dehydration and increases in internal body temperatures during prolonged exercise, is caused by a reduction in left ventricular (LV) function, as indicated by LV volumes, strain, and twist ("LV mechanics"). Eight healthy men [age: 20 ± 2, maximal oxygen uptake (VO?max): 58 ± 7 ml·kg?1·min?1] completed two, 1-h bouts of cycling in the heat (35°C, 50% peak power) without fluid replacement, resulting in 2% and 3.5% dehydration, respectively. Conventional and two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography was used to determine LV volumes, strain, and twist at rest and during one-legged knee-extensor exercise at baseline, both levels of dehydration, and following rehydration. Progressive dehydration caused a significant reduction in end-diastolic volume (EDV) and SV at rest and during one-legged knee-extensor exercise (rest: Δ-33 ± 14 and Δ-21 ± 14 ml, respectively; exercise: Δ-30 ± 10 and Δ-22 ± 9 ml, respectively, during 3.5% dehydration). In contrast to the marked decline in EDV and SV, systolic and diastolic LV mechanics were either maintained or even enhanced with dehydration at rest and during knee-extensor exercise. We conclude that dehydration-induced reductions in SV at rest and during exercise are the result of reduced LV filling, as reflected by the decline in EDV. The concomitant maintenance of LV mechanics suggests that the decrease in LV filling, and consequently ejection, is likely caused by the reduction in blood volume and/or diminished filling time rather than impaired LV function. 相似文献

We studied the acute effect of high-intensity interval exercise on biventricular function using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in nine patients [age: 49 ± 16 yr; left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF): 35.8 ± 7.2%] with nonischemic mild heart failure (HF). We hypothesized that a significant impairment in the immediate postexercise end-systolic volume (ESV) and end-diastolic volume (EDV) would contribute to a reduction in EF. We found that immediately following acute high-intensity interval exercise, LV ESV decreased by 6% and LV systolic annular velocity increased by 21% (both P < 0.05). Thirty minutes following exercise (+30 min), there was an absolute increase in LV EF of 2.4% (P < 0.05). Measures of preload, left atrial volume and LV EDV, were reduced immediately following exercise. Similar responses were observed for right ventricular volumes. Early filling velocity, filling rate, and diastolic annular velocity remained unchanged, while LV untwisting rate increased 24% immediately following exercise (P < 0.05) and remained 18% above baseline at +30 min (P < 0.05). The major novel findings of this investigation are 1) that acute high-intensity interval exercise decreases the immediate postexercise LV ESV and increases LV EF at +30 min in patients with mild HF, and this is associated with a reduction in LV afterload and maintenance of contractility, and 2) that despite a reduction in left atrial volume and LV EDV immediately postexercise, diastolic function is preserved and may be modulated by enhanced LV peak untwisting rate. Acute high-intensity interval exercise does not impair postexercise biventricular function in patients with nonischemic mild HF. 相似文献

We sought to investigate arterial baroreflex (ABR) control of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) in the transition from rest to steady-state dynamic exercise. This was accomplished by assessing the relationship between spontaneous variations in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and MSNA at rest and during the time course of reaching steady-state arm cycling at 50% peak oxygen uptake (VO(2peak)). Specifically, DBP-MSNA relations were examined in eight subjects (25 +/- 1 yr) at the start of unloaded arm cycling and then during the initial and a later period of arm cycling once the 50% VO(2peak) work rate was achieved. Heart rate and arterial blood pressure were progressively increased throughout exercise. Although resting MSNA [16 +/- 2 burst/min; 181 +/- 36 arbitrary units (au) total activity] was unchanged during unloaded cycling, MSNA burst frequency and total activity were significantly elevated during the initial (27 +/- 4 burst/min; 367 +/- 76 au; P < 0.05) and later (36 +/- 7 burst/min; 444 +/- 91 au; P < 0.05) periods of exercise. The relationships between DBP and burst incidence, burst strength, and total MSNA were progressively shifted rightward from unloaded to the initial to the later period of 50% VO(2peak) arm cycling without any changes in the slopes of the linear regressions (i.e., ABR sensitivity). Thus a continuous and dynamic resetting of the ABR control of MSNA occurred during the transition from rest to steady-state dynamic exercise. These findings indicate that the ABR control of MSNA was well maintained throughout dynamic exercise in humans, progressively being reset to operate around the exercise-induced elevations in blood pressure and MSNA without any changes in reflex sensitivity. 相似文献

Endurance training increases fatty acid turnover, but not fat oxidation, in young men. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

We examined the effects of exercise intensity and a 10-wk cycle ergometer training program [5 days/wk, 1 h, 75% peak oxygen consumption (VO2 peak)] on plasma free fatty acid (FFA) flux, total fat oxidation, and whole body lipolysis in healthy male subjects (n = 10; age = 25.6 +/- 1.0 yr). Two pretraining trials (45 and 65% of VO2 peak) and two posttraining trials (same absolute workload, 65% of old VO2 peak; and same relative workload, 65% of new VO2 peak) were performed by using an infusion of [1-13C]palmitate and [1,1,2,3, 3-2H]glycerol. An additional nine subjects (age 25.4 +/- 0.8 yr) were treated similarly but were infused with [1,1,2,3,3-2H]glycerol and not [1-13C]palmitate. Subjects were studied postabsorptive for 90 min of rest and 1 h of cycling exercise. After training, subjects increased VO2 peak by 9.4 +/- 1.4%. Pretraining, plasma FFA kinetics were inversely related to exercise intensity with rates of appearance (Ra) and disappearance (Rd) being significantly higher at 45 than at 65% VO2 peak (Ra: 8.14 +/- 1.28 vs. 6.64 +/- 0.46, Rd: 8. 03 +/- 1.28 vs. 6.42 +/- 0.41 mol. kg-1. min-1) (P = 0.05). After training, when measured at the same absolute and relative intensities, FFA Ra increased to 8.84 +/- 1.1, 8.44 +/- 1.1 and Rd to 8.82 +/- 1.1, 8.35 +/- 1.1 mol. kg-1. min-1, respectively (P = 0.05). Total fat oxidation determined from respiratory exchange ratio was elevated during exercise compared with rest, but did not differ among the four conditions. Glycerol Ra was elevated during exercise compared with rest but did not demonstrate significant intensity or training effects during exercise. Thus, in young men, plasma FFA flux is increased during exercise after endurance training, but total fat oxidation and whole-body lipolysis are unaffected when measured at the same absolute or relative exercise intensities. 相似文献

Hypertension and exercise independently induce left ventricular (LV) remodeling and alter LV function. The purpose of this study was to determine systolic and diastolic LV pressure-volume relationships (LV-PV) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) with and without LV hypertrophy, and to determine whether 6 mo of exercise training modified the LV-PV in SHR. Four-month-old female SHR (n = 20), were assigned to a sedentary (SHR-SED) or treadmill-trained (SHR-TRD) group (approximately 60% peak O2 consumption, 5 days/wk, 6 mo), while age-matched female Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY; n = 13) served as normotensive controls. The LV-PV was determined using a Langendorff isolated heart preparation at 4 (no hypertrophy: WKY, n = 5; SHR, n = 5) and 10 mo of age (hypertrophy: WKY, n = 8; SHR-SED, n = 8; SHR-TRD, n = 7). At 4 mo, the LV-PV in SHR was similar to that observed in WKY controls. However, at 10 mo of age, a rightward shift in the LV-PV occurred in SHR. Exercise training did not alter the extent of the shift in the LV-PV relative to SHR-SED. Relative systolic function, i.e., relative systolic elastance, was approximately 50% lower in SHR than WKY at 10 mo of age (P < 0.05). Doppler-derived LV filling parameters [early wave (E), atrial wave (A), and the E/A ratio] were similar between groups. LV capacitance was increased in SHR at 10 mo (P < 0.05), whereas LV diastolic chamber stiffness was similar between groups at 10 mo. Hypertrophic remodeling at 10 mo of age in female SHR is manifest with relative systolic decompensation and normal LV diastolic function. Exercise training did not alter the LV-PV in SHR. 相似文献

The peak filling rate (PFR) is an index of the diastolic function and has been proposed as an excellent parameter for the evaluation and early detection of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. This study contributes to the assessment of LV diastolic function at rest and during submaximal exercise in 19 normal subjects and in 42 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The PFR was compared to the ejection fraction (EF) and the peak ejection rate (PER)--both indexes of systolic LV function--after acquiring a high-resolution time-activity curve (time/frame between 10 and 30 msec) with gated radionuclide angiocardiography. In 23 patients with normal EF at rest (greater than or equal to 50%), PFR and PER were abnormally low in 87% and 43% of the cases respectively. During submaximal exercise in 13 CAD patients, EF, PFR and PER varied very little from baseline values but were significantly reduced compared to the values of normal subjects. The PFR proved to be a very sensitive indicator of LV dysfunction in coronary patients but was not capable of discriminating between one-, two- or three-vessel disease. Our results tend to show the PFR to be a good indicator of LV dysfunction at rest and during exercise and its usefulness for the assessment of LV function is becoming more and more evident in clinical practice. 相似文献

The new myofilament Ca2+ sensitizer levosimendan (LSM) is a positive inotropic and vasodilatory agent. Its beneficial effects have been demonstrated at rest in congestive heart failure (CHF). However, its effect during exercise (Ex) in CHF is unknown. We assessed the effects of LSM on left ventricular (LV) dynamics at rest and during Ex in eight conscious, instrumented dogs with pacing-induced CHF. After CHF, with dogs at rest, LSM decreased arterial elastance (Ea) and increased LV contractile performance as assessed by the slope of LV pressure-volume (P-V) relation. LSM caused a >60% increase in the peak rate of mitral flow (dV/dtmax) due to decreases in minimal LV pressure and the time constant of LV relaxation (tau). LV arterial coupling, quantified as the ratio of end-systolic elastance (Ees) to Ea, was increased from 0.47 to 0.85%. LV mechanical efficiency, determined as the ratio of stroke work to total P-V area, was improved from 0.54 +/- 0.09 to 0.61 +/- 0.07. These beneficial effects persisted during Ex after CHF. Compared with CHF Ex dogs, treatment with LSM prevented Ex-induced abnormal increases in mean left atrial pressure and end-diastolic pressure and decreased Ees/Ea. With LSM treatment during CHF Ex, the early diastolic portion of the LV P-V loop was shifted downward with decreased minimal LV pressure and tau values and a further augmented dV/dtmax. Ees/Ea improved, and mechanical efficiency further increased from 0.61 +/- 0.07 to 0.67 +/- 0.07, which was close to the value reached during normal Ex. After CHF, LSM produced arterial vasodilatation; improved LV relaxation and diastolic filling; increased contractility, LV arterial coupling, and mechanical efficiency; and normalized the response to Ex. 相似文献

Current surgical management of volume overload-induced heart failure (HF) leads to variable recovery of left ventricular (LV) function despite a return of LV geometry. The mechanisms that prevent restoration of function are unknown but may be related to the timing of intervention and the degree of LV contractile impairment. This study determined whether reduction of aortocaval fistula (ACF)-induced LV volume overload during the compensatory stage of HF results in beneficial LV structural remodeling and restoration of pump function. Rats were subjected to ACF for 4 wk; a subset then received a load-reversal procedure by closing the shunt using a custom-made stent graft approach. Echocardiography or in vivo pressure-volume analysis was used to assess LV morphology and function in sham rats; rats subjected to 4-, 8-, or 15-wk ACF; and rats subjected to 4-wk ACF followed by 4- or 11-wk reversal. Structural and functional changes were correlated to LV collagen content, extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, and hypertrophic markers. ACF-induced volume overload led to progressive LV chamber dilation and contractile dysfunction. Rats subjected to short-term reversal (4-wk ACF + 4-wk reversal) exhibited improved chamber dimensions (LV diastolic dimension) and LV compliance that were associated with ECM remodeling and normalization of atrial and brain natriuretic peptides. Load-independent parameters indicated LV systolic (preload recruitable stroke work, Ees) and diastolic dysfunction (tau, arterial elastance). These changes were associated with an altered α/β-myosin heavy chain ratio. However, these changes were normalized to sham levels in long-term reversal rats (4-wk ACF + 11-wk reversal). Acute hemodynamic changes following ACF reversal improve LV geometry, but LV dysfunction persists. Gradual restoration of function was related to normalization of eccentric hypertrophy, LV wall stress, and ECM remodeling. These results suggest that mild to moderate LV systolic dysfunction may be an important indicator of the ability of the myocardium to remodel following the reversal of hemodynamic overload. 相似文献

The power spectral analysis of R-R interval variability (RRV) has been estimated by means of an autoregressive method in seven sedentary males at rest, during steady-state cycle exercise at 21 percent maximal oxygen uptake (%VO2max), SEM 2%, 49% VO2max, SEM 2% and 70% VO2max, SEM 2% and during recovery. The RRV, i.e. the absolute power of the spectrum, decreased 10, 100 and 500 times in the three exercise intensities, returning to resting value during recovery. In the RRV power spectrum three components have been identified: (1) high frequency peak (HF), central frequency about 0.24 Hz at rest and recovery, and 0.28 Hz, SEM 0.02, 0.37 Hz, SEM 0.03 and 0.48 Hz, SEM 0.06 during the three exercise intensities, respectively; (2) low frequency peak (LF), central frequency about 0.1 Hz independent of the metabolic state; (3) very low frequency component (VLF), less than 0.05 Hz, no peak observed. The HF peak power, as a percentage of the total power (HF%), averaged 16%, SEM 5% at rest and did not change during exercise, whereas during recovery it decreased to 5%-10%. The LF% and VLF% were about 50% and 35% at rest and during low exercise intensity, respectively. At higher intensities, LF% decreased to 16% and VLF% increased to 70%. During recovery a return to resting values occurred. The HF component may reflect the increased respiratory rate and the LF peak changes the resetting of the baroreceptor reflex with exercise. The hypothesis is made that VLF fluctuations in heart rate might be partially mediated by the sympathetic system. 相似文献

Measurement of gluconeogenesis in exercising men by mass isotopomer distribution analysis. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We evaluated the hypothesis that coordinated adjustments in absolute rates of gluconeogenesis (GNG(ab)) and hepatic glycogenolysis (Gly) would maintain euglycemia and match glucose production (GP) to peripheral utilization during rest and exercise. Specifically, we evaluated the extent to which gradations in exercise power output would affect the contribution of GNG(ab) to GP. For these purposes, we employed mass isotopomer distribution analysis (MIDA) and isotope-dilution techniques on eight postabsorptive (PA) endurance-trained men during 90 min of leg cycle ergometry at 45 and 65% peak O(2) consumption (VO(2 peak); moderate and hard intensities, respectively) and the preceding rest period. GP was constant in resting subjects, whereas the fraction from GNG (f(GNG)) increased over time during rest (22.3 +/- 0.9% at 11.25 h PA vs. 25.6 +/- 0.9% at 12.0 h PA, P < 0.05). In the transition from rest to exercise, GP increased in an intensity-dependent manner (rest, 2.0 +/- 0.1; 45%, 4.0 +/- 0.4; 65%, 5.84 +/- 0.64 mg. kg(-1). min(-1), P < 0.05), although glucose rate of disappearance exceeded rate of appearance during the last 30 min of exercise at 65% VO(2 peak). Compared with rest, increases in GP were sustained by 92 and 135% increments in GNG(ab) during moderate- and hard-intensity exercises, respectively. Correspondingly, Gly (calculated as the difference between GP and MIDA-measured GNG(ab)) increased 100 and 203% over rest during the two exercise intensities. During moderate-intensity exercise, f(GNG) was the same as at rest; however, during the harder exercise f(GNG) decreased significantly to account for only 21% of GP. The highest sustained GNG(ab) observed in these trials on PA men was 1.24 +/- 0.3 mg. kg(-1). min(-1). We conclude that, after an overnight fast, 1) absolute GNG rates increased with intensity of effort despite a reduced f(GNG) at 65% VO(2 peak), 2) during exercise Gly is more responsible than GNG(ab) for maintaining GP, and 3) in 12-h fasted men, neither increased Gly or GNG(ab) nor was their combination able to maintain euglycemia during prolonged hard (65% VO(2 peak)) exercise. 相似文献

In the transition from rest to steady-state exercise, O2 uptake from the lungs (VO2) depends on the product of pulmonary blood flow and pulmonary arteriovenous O2 content difference. The kinetics of pulmonary blood flow are believed to be somewhat faster than changes in pulmonary arteriovenous O2 content difference. We hypothesized that during CO breathing, the kinetics of CO uptake (VCO) and diffusing capacity for CO (DLCO) should be faster than VO2 because changes in pulmonary arteriovenous CO content difference should be relatively small. Six subjects went abruptly from rest to constant exercise (inspired CO fraction = 0.0005) at 40, 60, and 80% of their peak VO2, measured with an incremental test (VO2peak). At all exercise levels, DLCO and VCO rose faster than VO2 (P less than 0.001), and DLCO rose faster than VCO (P less than 0.001). For example, at 40% VO2peak, the time constant (tau) for DLCO in phase 2 was 19 +/- 5 (SD), 24 +/- 5 s for VCO, and 33 +/- 5 s for VO2. Both VCO and DLCO increased with exercise intensity but to a lesser degree than VO2 at all exercise intensities (P less than 0.001). In addition, no significant rise in DLCO was observed between 60 and 80% VO2peak. We conclude that the kinetics of VCO and DLCO are faster than VO2, suggesting that VCO and DLCO kinetics reflect, to a greater extent, changes in pulmonary blood flow and thus recruitment of alveolar-capillary surface area. However, other factors, such as the time course of ventilation, may also be involved.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Chronic heart failure (CHF) may impair lung gas diffusion, an effect that contributes to exercise limitation. We investigated whether diffusion improvement is a mechanism whereby physical training increases aerobic efficiency in CHF. Patients with CHF (n = 16) were trained (40 min of stationary cycling, 4 times/wk) for 8 wk; similar sedentary patients (n = 15) were used as controls. Training increased lung diffusion (DlCO, +25%), alveolar-capillary conductance (DM, +15%), pulmonary capillary blood volume (VC, +10%), peak exercise O2 uptake (peak VO2, +13%), and VO2 at anaerobic threshold (AT, +20%) and decreased the slope of exercise ventilation to CO2 output (VE/VCO2, -14%). It also improved the flow-mediated brachial artery dilation (BAD, from 4.8 +/- 0.4 to 8.2 +/- 0.4%). These changes were significant compared with baseline and controls. Hemodynamics were obtained in the last 10 patients in each group. Training did not affect hemodynamics at rest and enhanced the increase of cardiac output (+226 vs. +187%) and stroke volume (+59 vs. +49%) and the decrease of pulmonary arteriolar resistance (-28 vs. -13%) at peak exercise. Hemodynamics were unchanged in controls after 8 wk. Increases in DlCO and DM correlated with increases in peak VO2 (r = 0.58, P = 0.019 and r = 0.51, P = 0.04, respectively) and in BAD (r = 0.57, P < 0.021 and r = 0.50, P = 0.04, respectively). After detraining (8 wk), DlCO, DM, VC, peak VO2, VO2 at AT, VE/VCO2 slope, cardiac output, stroke volume, pulmonary arteriolar resistance at peak exercise, and BAD reverted to levels similar to baseline and to levels similar to controls. Results document, for the first time, that training improves DlCO in CHF, and this effect may contribute to enhancement of exercise performance. 相似文献

Shortened early transmitral deceleration times (E(DT)) have been qualitatively associated with increased filling pressure and reduced survival in patients with cardiac disease and increased left ventricular operating stiffness (K(LV)). An equation relating K(LV) quantitatively to E(DT) has previously been described in a canine model but not in humans. During several varying hemodynamic conditions, we studied 18 patients undergoing open-heart surgery. Transesophageal echocardiographic two-dimensional volumes and Doppler flows were combined with high-fidelity left atrial (LA) and left ventricular (LV) pressures to determine K(LV). From digitized Doppler recordings, E(DT) was measured and compared against changes in LV and LA diastolic volumes and pressures. E(DT) (180 +/- 39 ms) was inversely associated with LV end-diastolic pressures (r = -0.56, P = 0.004) and net atrioventricular stiffness (r = -0.55, P = 0.006) but had its strongest association with K(LV) (r = -0.81, P < 0.001). K(LV) was predicted assuming a nonrestrictive orifice (K(nonrest)) from E(DT) as K(nonrest) = (0.07/E(DT))(2) with K(LV) = 1.01 K(nonrest) - 0.02; r = 0.86, P < 0.001, DeltaK (K(nonrest) - K(LV)) = 0.02 +/- 0.06 mm Hg/ml. In adults with cardiac disease, E(DT) provides an accurate estimate of LV operating stiffness and supports its application as a practical noninvasive index in the evaluation of diastolic function. 相似文献
