Abstract:

Objective

Left ventricular wall stress has been investigated in a variety of populations, but the effect of food intake has not been evaluated. We assessed whether left ventricular wall stress is affected by food intake in healthy subjects.

Methods

Twenty-three healthy subjects aged 25.6?±?4.5 years were investigated. Meridional end-systolic wall stress (ESS) and circumferential end-systolic wall stress (cESS) were measured before, 30 minutes after, and 110 minutes after a standardised meal.

Results

Both ESS and cESS decreased significantly (P?<?0.001) from fasting values 30 minutes after the meal, and had not returned to baseline after 110 minutes. ESS decreased from 65?±?16 kdynes/cm2 (fasting) to 44?±?12 kdynes/cm2 30 minutes after, and to 58?±?13 kdynes/cm2 110 minutes after eating. cESS decreased from 98?±?24 kdynes/cm2 to 67?±?18 kdynes/cm2 30 minutes after, and to 87?±?19 kdynes/cm2 110 minutes after the meal.

Conclusion

This study shows that left ventricular wall stress is affected by food intake in healthy subjects.
