Echo derived variables predicting exercise tolerance in patients with dilated and poorly functioning left ventricle. (1/1872)

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether resting echo derived measurements predict exercise tolerance and its interrelation with heart rate response and ventilation drive in patients with systolic left ventricular disease. DESIGN: Prospective echocardiographic examination followed by cardiopulmonary exercise testing. SETTING: A tertiary referral centre for cardiac diseases. SUBJECTS: 21 patients (11 with coronary artery disease, 10 with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy) with end diastolic dimension > 6.4 cm, shortening fraction < 25%, and in sinus rhythm. There were 11 age matched normal controls. RESULTS: In the patients, peak oxygen consumption (mVo2) correlated with right ventricular long axis excursion (r = 0.62); 65% of the variance in mVo2 was predictable using a multivariate model with right ventricular long axis excursion and peak lengthening rate, and peak mitral atrial filling velocity as independent variables. Aetiology was not an independent predictor, although the right ventricular long axis excursion (mean (SD)) was greater in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy than in those with coronary artery disease (2.4 (0.5) cm v 1.6 (0.5) cm, p < 0.001). Peak heart rate correlated with duration of mitral regurgitation (r = -0.52) and the slope of ventilation against CO2 production correlated with M mode isovolumic relaxation time (r = 0.61). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with systolic left ventricular dysfunction, more than half the variance in exercise tolerance can be predicted by factors measured on echocardiography at rest, particularly right ventricular long axis excursion.  (+info)

Cardiac metaiodobenzylguanidine uptake in patients with moderate chronic heart failure: relationship with peak oxygen uptake and prognosis. (2/1872)

OBJECTIVES: This prospective study was undertaken to correlate early and late metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) cardiac uptake with cardiac hemodynamics and exercise capacity in patients with heart failure and to compare their prognostic values with that of peak oxygen uptake (VO2). BACKGROUND: The cardiac fixation of MIBG reflects presynaptic uptake and is reduced in heart failure. Whether it is related to exercise capacity and has better prognostic value than peak VO2 is unknown. METHODS: Ninety-three patients with heart failure (ejection fraction <45%) were studied with planar MIBG imaging, cardiopulmonary exercise tests and hemodynamics (n = 44). Early (20 min) and late (4 h) MIBG acquisition, as well as their ratio (washout, WO) were determined. Prognostic value was assessed by survival curves (Kaplan-Meier method) and uni- and multivariate Cox analyses. RESULTS: Late cardiac MIBG uptake was reduced (131+/-20%, normal values 192+/-42%) and correlated with ejection fraction (r = 0.49), cardiac index (r = 0.40) and pulmonary wedge pressure (r = -0.35). There was a significant correlation between peak VO2 and MIBG uptake (r = 0.41, p < 0.0001). With a mean follow-up of 10+/-8 months, both late MIBG uptake (p = 0.04) and peak VO2 (p < 0.0001) were predictive of death or heart transplantation, but only peak VO2 emerged by multivariate analysis. Neither early MIBG uptake nor WO yielded significant insights beyond those provided by late MIBG uptake. CONCLUSIONS: Metaiodobenzylguanidine uptake has prognostic value in patients with wide ranges of heart failure, but peak VO2 remains the most powerful prognostic index.  (+info)

Diagnostic utility of metabolic exercise testing in a patient with cardiovascular disease. (3/1872)

Disproportionate exercise limitation in patients with cardiovascular disease is a common problem faced by clinical cardiologists and other physicians. Symptoms may be attributed to psychological factors or hypothetical pathophysiological mechanisms that are difficult to confirm clinically. This case report describes how the use of metabolic exercise testing in a 28 year old woman with morphologically and haemodynamically mild hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and severe exercise limitation led to the diagnosis of an alternative cause for the patient's symptoms, namely a primary disturbance of the mitochondrial respiratory chain probably caused by a nuclear encoded gene defect.  (+info)

Effect of thoracotomy and lung resection on exercise capacity in patients with lung cancer. (4/1872)

BACKGROUND: Resection is the treatment of choice for lung cancer, but may cause impaired cardiopulmonary function with an adverse effect on quality of life. Few studies have considered the effects of thoracotomy alone on lung function, and whether the operation itself can impair subsequent exercise capacity. METHODS: Patients being considered for lung resection (n = 106) underwent full static and dynamic pulmonary function testing which was repeated 3-6 months after surgery (n = 53). RESULTS: Thoracotomy alone (n = 13) produced a reduction in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1; mean (SE) 2.10 (0.16) versus 1.87 (0.15) l; p<0.05). Wedge resection (n = 13) produced a non-significant reduction in total lung capacity (TLC) only. Lobectomy (n = 14) reduced forced vital capacity (FVC), TLC, and carbon monoxide transfer factor but exercise capacity was unchanged. Only pneumonectomy (n = 13) reduced exercise capacity by 28% (PVO2 23.9 (1.5) versus 17.2 (1.7) ml/min/kg; difference (95% CI) 6.72 (3.15 to 10.28); p<0.01) and three patients changed from a cardiac limitation to exercise before pneumonectomy to pulmonary limitation afterwards. CONCLUSIONS: Neither thoracotomy alone nor limited lung resection has a significant effect on exercise capacity. Only pneumonectomy is associated with impaired exercise performance, and then perhaps not as much as might be expected.  (+info)

Validity of a modified shuttle test in adult cystic fibrosis. (5/1872)

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to provide some evidence of the validity of a modified shuttle test (MST) by comparing performance on the MST with peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) measured during a treadmill test in a group of adult patients with cystic fibrosis. METHOD: Twenty patients with stable cystic fibrosis performed a ramped maximal treadmill test (STEEP protocol) and the MST using a randomised balanced design. RESULTS: The relationship between the distance achieved on the MST and VO2peak was strong (r = 0.95, p<0.01) with 90% of the variance in VO2peak explained by the variance in MST distance. The relationship was represented by the regression equation (with 95% confidence intervals) VO2peak = 6.83 (2.85 to 10.80) + 0.028 (0.019 to 0.024) x MST distance. CONCLUSION: This study provides evidence of the construct validity of the MST as an objective measure of exercise capacity in adults with cystic fibrosis.  (+info)

Effects of L-arginine on lower limb vasodilator reserve and exercise capacity in patients with chronic heart failure. (6/1872)

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the reactive hyperaemic response of the lower limb increases with improved exercise capacity after acute supplementation with L-arginine, the precursor of nitric oxide, in patients with chronic heart failure. METHODS: 19 patients with chronic heart failure were enrolled in the study. Rest calf blood flow and femoral occlusion induced calf blood flow changes were measured by venous occlusion plethysmography before and after intravenous infusion of 10% L-arginine solution (5 ml/kg for 30 minutes) or placebo. Postexercise calf blood flow was also measured after the experimental infusion. During both postinfusion periods, several exercise capacity indices were determined by a symptom limited cardiopulmonary exercise test using a bicycle ergometer. RESULTS: Baseline calf blood flow, systemic blood pressure, and heart rate showed no significant changes in either of the two experimental conditions. However, the occlusion induced blood flow response was significantly enhanced by L-arginine infusion (mean (SEM) peak flow, 19.6 (1.5) v 28.9 (3.1) ml/min/dl calf tissue; p < 0.01), but not by placebo (peak flow, 19.1 (1.4) v 20.9 (1.8) ml/min/dl calf tissue; NS). Calf blood flow response after exercise was also higher after L-arginine infusion than after placebo (peak flow, 4.8 (0.4) v 6.0 (0.8) ml/min/dl calf tissue; p < 0.05). L-arginine infusion had no significant effect compared with placebo on exercise capacity indices such as peak oxygen uptake (17.1 (1.0) v 15.8 (1.1) ml/min/kg; NS), anaerobic threshold (10.5 (0.6) v 10.4 (0.7) ml/min/kg; NS), and exercise time (296 (23) v 283 (22) s; NS). CONCLUSIONS: Acute supplementation with the nitric oxide precursor L-arginine increased lower limb reactive hyperaemia but did not lead to any significant improvement in exercise capacity in patients with chronic heart failure.  (+info)

Ventricular dilatation in the absence of ACE inhibitors: influence of haemodynamic and neurohormonal variables following myocardial infarction. (7/1872)

OBJECTIVE: To examine the relation between patterns of ventricular remodelling and haemodynamic and neurohormonal variables, at rest and during symptom limited exercise, in the year following acute myocardial infarction in patients not receiving angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. DESIGN: A prospective observational study. PATIENTS: 65 patients recruited following hospital admission with a transmural anterior myocardial infarction. METHODS: Central haemodynamics and neurohormonal activation at rest and during symptom limited treadmill exercise were measured at baseline before hospital discharge, one month later, and at three monthly intervals thereafter. PATIENTS were classified according to individual patterns of change in left ventricular end diastolic volumes at rest, assessed at each visit using transthoracic echocardiography. RESULTS: In most patients (n = 43, 66%) ventricular volumes were unchanged or reduced. Mean (SEM) treadmill exercise capacity and peak exercise cardiac index increased at month 12 by 200 (24) seconds (p < 0.001 v baseline) and by 0.8 (0.4) l/min/m2 (p<0.05 v baseline), respectively, in this group. In patients with limited ventricular dilatation (n = 11, 17%) exercise capacity increased by 259 (52) seconds (p < 0.001 v baseline) and peak exercise cardiac index improved by 0.8 (0.7) l/min/m2 (NS). In the remaining 11 patients with progressive left ventricular dilatation, exercise capacity increased by 308 (53) seconds (p< 0. 001 v baseline) and peak exercise cardiac index similarly improved by 1.3 (0.7) l/min/m2 (NS). There were trends towards increased atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) secretion at rest and at peak exercise in this group. CONCLUSIONS: Ventricular dilatation after acute myocardial infarction is a heterogeneous process that is progressive in only a minority of patients. Compensatory mechanisms, including ANF release, appear capable of maintaining and improving exercise capacity in most patients for at least 12 months, even in those with a progressive increase in ventricular size.  (+info)

Physiological basis of improvement after lung volume reduction surgery for severe emphysema: where are we? (8/1872)

Lung volume reduction surgery has become an accepted therapeutic option to relieve the symptoms of selected patients with severe emphysema. In a majority of these patients, it causes objective as well as subjective functional improvement. A proper understanding of the physiological determinants underlying these beneficial effects appears very important in order to better select patients for the procedure that is currently largely carried out on an empirical basis. Lung volume reduction surgery has two distinct effects. Firstly, it causes an increased elastic recoil, which at least partially explains the enhanced maximal expiratory flow. Secondly, it is associated with a reduction of hyperinflation which allows for an increase in global inspiratory muscle strength and in diaphragmatic contribution to tidal volume as well as a decrease in the inspiratory elastic load imposed by the chest wall. Taken together, these effects result in a reduced work of breathing and in an enhanced maximal ventilation which both contribute to the increased exercise capacity and reduced dyspnoea after surgery. The improved lung recoil and the reduced hyperinflation after volume reduction surgery were the primary postulates upon which the usual selection criteria for the procedure were based. It is now likely that these are correct. Nevertheless, some patients do not benefit from lung volume reduction surgery and the current literature does not allow for a refinement of the selection process from a physiological point of view. The exact mechanisms underlying the improvement in lung recoil, lung mechanics, and respiratory muscle function remain incompletely understood. Moreover, the effects of lung volume reduction surgery on gas exchange and pulmonary haemodynamics still need to be more fully investigated. An analysis of the characteristics of patients who do not benefit from the procedure and the development of an animal model for lung volume reduction surgery would probably help address these important issues.  (+info)

Intermittent hypoxia increases exercise tolerance in elderly men with and without coronary artery disease | MetaIntermittent hypoxia increases exercise tolerance in elderly men with and without coronary artery disease | Meta
Intermittent hypoxia has been suggested to increase exercise tolerance by enhancing stress resistance and improving oxygen delivery. Because the improvement of exercise tolerance reduces mortality in the elderly with and without coronary artery disease intermittent hypoxia might be a valuable preventive and therapeutic tool. However, controlled studies are lacking. Sixteen males (50-70 years, 8 with and 8 without prior myocardial infarction) were randomly assigned in a double-blind fashion to receive 15 sessions of passive intermittent hypoxia (hypoxia group) or normoxia (control group) within 3 weeks. For the hypoxia group each session consisted of three to five hypoxic (14-10% oxygen) periods (3-5 min) with 3-min normoxic intervals. Controls inhaled only normoxic air in the same way. Exercise tests were performed before and after the 3-week breathing program. After 3 weeks of intermittent hypoxia peak oxygen consumption had increased compared to normoxic conditions (+ 6.2% vs.-3%, p , 0.001). ...

The effect of oral and intravenous tolamolol on exercise tolerance was assessed in 11 patients with angina pectoris. Patients were selected on the basis of an absence of placebo response and the reliable reproducibility of anginal pain and electrocardiographic changes with exercise on a constant load Schönander-Elema bicycle ergometer. The effect of tolamolol on exercise time and heart rate was compared with that of propranolol. Tolamolol was shown to increase exercise tolerance and the effect was comparable to that of propranolol. Tolamolol did not produce a significant increase in airways resistance nor were any untoward side effects noted.. ...

Exercise tolerance and alcohol intake. Blood pressure relation. | HypertensionExercise tolerance and alcohol intake. Blood pressure relation. | Hypertension
The relations of systolic and diastolic blood pressures to alcohol intake and exercise tolerance levels in 15,612 men and 3,855 women were investigated. Alcohol intake was assessed by questionnaire and stratified into seven levels for men and six for women according to the ounces of ethanol consumed per week. Exercise tolerance was determined by maximal treadmill exercise testing and was categorized into six age-specific by sex-specific levels. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure were significantly related to both alcohol intake and exercise tolerance levels in both men and women. These relations, which were positive for alcohol and negative for exercise tolerance, remained after covariance adjustment for age, body mass index, and cigarette smoking. Alcohol intake was not significantly correlated with exercise tolerance. The relation of blood pressure to alcohol was not linear because the blood pressure of moderate consumers of alcohol tended to be slightly lower than that of nondrinkers. ...

Effect of attitudes and beliefs on exercise tolerance in chronic bronchitis. | The BMJEffect of attitudes and beliefs on exercise tolerance in chronic bronchitis. | The BMJ
In 50 patients with chronic bronchitis the relation was assessed between exercise tolerance and pulmonary function and psychological factors, including subjective perception of exertion, mood, general psychiatric disturbance, and the attitudes and beliefs held by patients concerning themselves, their illness, and its treatment. Ventilatory capacity was significantly correlated with but a poor predictor of exercise tolerance. Subjective perception of exertion was most closely correlated with exercise tolerance. The distance walked in a 12-minute exercise test was significantly correlated with measurements of mood and with several attitudes and beliefs. Attitudes and beliefs greatly outweighed measurements of mood and ventilatory capacity as components in a multiple regression predicting distance walked in 12 minutes. This method of psychological assessment emphasises the importance of attitudes and beliefs in respiratory disability and may have useful applications in rehabilitation in other ...

Blood Flow and Vascular Function in Cystic Fibrosis - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.govBlood Flow and Vascular Function in Cystic Fibrosis - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.gov
The most disturbing aspect of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the associated premature death. Low exercise capacity predicts death in patients with CF and is also associated with a steeper decline in lung function and more lung infections. A critical barrier to improving exercise tolerance in patients with CF is the investigators lack of knowledge regarding the different physiological mechanisms which contribute to their lower exercise capacity. We have compelling data to indicate that the blood vessels may contribute to the low exercise capacity in CF. The impact of this proof of concept investigation will test Phosphodiesterase Type 5 inhibitors (PDE5) inhibitors as a potential therapy in CF and will explore blood flow and endothelial function as potential mechanisms which contribute to exercise intolerance in CF. Improvements in exercise capacity will not only contribute to a better quality of live for patients with CF, it will also increase longevity in these patients ...

Introduction: Advanced heart failure (HF) patients may stay for a long period of time in the hospital for the treatment of HF and prolonged inactivity causes complications that result in worsening of exercise tolerance. On the other hand, there is evidence that treatment with muscle low-frequency electrical stimulation (FES) provides important benefits for HF patients. This study investigated the effects of FES on neurovascular control and exercise tolerance in HF hospitalized patients.. Methods and results: Thirty hospitalized patients for treatment of decompensated HF, functional class IV NYHA and ejection fraction ≤ 30% were consecutively randomised into two groups: 1) FES(n= 15; 54±2 years) and control(n= 15; 49±2 years). Muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) was directly recorded via microneurography and blood flow by venous occlusion plethysmography. Heart rate and blood pressure were evaluated on a beat-to-beat basis (Finometer). Exercise tolerance by six-minute walk test, ...

All participants will receive a personalised programme of exercise during the pulmonary rehabilitation session and a home-based programme designed according to their individual needs. We expect that all patients will experience improvement in exercise capacity and breathlessness regardless of the group they belong to. If the intervention (HIIT) is successful, the active group is likely to experience additional benefits. All patients will benefit from the educational sessions that are part of the pulmonary rehabilitation programme. Another benefit for patients is that they will be able to express their views about their programme and care and will be encouraged to set goals to improve their quality of life. Again, this benefit is independent of the group the patients will belong to. There are no major anticipated risks from the programme and all assessments are non-invasive. Both groups, active and control, will receive the standard treatment (pulmonary rehabilitation). Both types of training ...

Effects of MCT supplementation on exercise tolerance in patients with by Annie BehrendEffects of MCT supplementation on exercise tolerance in patients with by Annie Behrend
Background: Inherited disorders of long-chain fatty acid oxidation (FAO) inhibit the ability to oxidize long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) for energy generation. As a result, bouts of exercise can lead to rhabdomyolysis, impaired cardiac function and, hence, exercise avoidance in these individuals. Medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) supplementation may bypass this defect and reduce the risk of adverse metabolic events. Objectives: To determine the influence of isocaloric MCT vs carbohydrate (CHO) supplementation prior to exercise on substrate oxidation and cardiac function during exercise in participants with long-chain FAO disorders. Design & Methods: Two 45-minute, moderate intensity treadmill exercise studies were completed by subjects (n=11) in a randomized crossover design. An isocaloric oral dose of CHO (1 g/kg LBM) or MCT-oil (0.5 g/kg LBM) was administered prior to exercise, hemodynamic and metabolic indices were assessed during exertion and a cardiac echocardiogram was performed following exercise.

Cardiac mechanisms underlying normal exercise tolerance : gender impactCardiac mechanisms underlying normal exercise tolerance : gender impact
The aim of this study is to test our hypothesis that normal exercise tolerance differs according to gender and to identify potential functional cardiac relationships, which could explain those differences. A total of 44 healthy individuals with mean age of 49 ± 12 years (28-74 years, 22 males) constituted the study cohort. All individuals underwent resting and exercise Doppler echocardiogram simultaneously with peak oxygen uptake analysis (pVO(2)). At equal pVO(2), males achieved higher peak exercise workload (p , 0.001) and females higher heart rate (p , 0.001) but the two groups maintained similar indexed left ventricular (LV) stroke volume (SV) and cardiac output. Indexed LV end-diastolic (LVDVI) and end-systolic volumes (LVSVI) were smaller in females (p , 0.001 and p , 0.01, respectively), but filling time (FT) was shorter (p , 0.001) and they had higher early diastolic (E) velocity (p = 0.004), E/E (m) (myocardial E velocity) (p , 0.001) and global longitudinal strain rate atrial velocity ...

For the primary (dichotomous) outcome, relative risks (RRs) and 95% CI were computed using random-effects models (11). The weighted MD and corresponding 95% CI were computed using random-effects models for continuous variables. Between-studies heterogeneity was assessed using the Cochran Q test (based on the pooled RR by Mantel-Haenszel), as well as by measuring inconsistency (I2 [the percentage of total variance across studies attributable to heterogeneity rather than chance]) of treatment effects across trials (12). We used Beggs funnel plot to assess for publication bias for the primary outcome of all-cause mortality (13). Quality assessment of the analyzed RCTs was performed by Jadads method (14). Since the majority of included studies (13 of 14 treatment arms) had a quality score of 4/4 for mortality, suggesting high quality, a formal quality score and/or weighting of results was not calculated. For exercise capacity, only 1 study had nonblinded assessment of outcome. As a number of ...

Optimal pharmacological treatment for COPD patients reduces symptoms, reduces the frequency and severity of exacerbations, improve health status and increases exercise tolerance. Unfortunately, despite frequent changes in COPD classification systems and the emergence of new inhaled therapies recommended from evidence-based guidelines, poor adherence to treatment due to the cost of medication and lack of availability of medications create a gap in real-life prescribing patterns (Cases et al, 2018).

CoQ10 improves blood vessel function and exercise capacity - Nutrition Express ArticlesCoQ10 improves blood vessel function and exercise capacity - Nutrition Express Articles
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a nutrient that occurs naturally in every cell in the body, improved blood-vessel function and increased peak exercise capacity in those with heart disease, in two new studies. In a coronary artery disease (CAD) study, researchers recruited 33 men and five women with an average age of 55, who had CAD and whose hearts pumped blood normally, to take 300 mg of CoQ10 in three 100 mg doses per day or a placebo for one month. Doctors measured the activity of an important antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase or SOD, on blood vessel walls, which declines in CAD. They found that those who had taken CoQ10 had a 29% increase in SOD activity compared to 4% for placebo. Scientists also measured the ability of the arteries to relax (dilate), the ability of the heart to deliver oxygen and the capacity of the cells to absorb oxygen, and found that, in all three measures, those who had taken CoQ10 had significantly greater improvement compared to placebo. Doctors noted that participants ...

The effect of our home CR programme on exercise capacity is consistent with the findings in the only other study investigating the effect of home-based CR and usual care among elderly with coronary heart disease.3 In this study, patients in the age groups 45-65 years, 66-75 years and ,75 years significantly improved their exercise capacity after participating in a home programme, although the improvement was less among the very old patients (,75 years).. The meta-analysis by Jolly et al,12 which included studies of all age groups, investigated the effect of home-based CR and usual care. The meta-analysis showed an improvement in exercise capacity but could not identify any significant differences between the home and usual care group. The authors explained this by the possibility that patients in usual care groups may receive input that match the homeinterventions and thus diminish a possible difference. This could also have been the case in our study.. At 12 months, a significant decline in ...

Patients with COPD have reduced exercise tolerance. Low tolerance to physical exercise in patients with COPD is multifactorial and is due to several reasons, rather important of which is reduction of lung ventilation ability. Registration of indices of ventilation during the test widens diagnostic possibilities of 6-minute walk test (6 MWT).. Materials and methods: male patients with COPD (n=34) II-IV degree of severity, average age 57,5±7,1, FEV146,8 ±14,3% predicted and male patients without COPD, average age 60,8±4,6, FEV193,3±14,4% predicted are involved in the investigation. This investigation was held on the equipment Spiropalm 6 MWT (Cosmed, Italy), which allows to measure parameters of minute ventilation (VE) in the process of standardized 6 MWT.. Results: distance, walked by patients with COPD was 362,3 ± 10,3 m and in control group 510,4 ± 15,6 (p,0,05). Indices of initial ventilation in groups werent significantly different VE 8,9±3,6 l / min in group of patients with COPD and ...

Background Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension who achieve a six-minute walk distance of 380-440 m may have improved prognosis. Using the randomized controlled trial of macitentan in pulmonary arterial hypertension (SERAPHIN), the association between six-minute walk distance and long-term outcomes was explored. Methods Patients with six-minute walk distance data at Month 6 were dichotomized as above or below the median six-minute walk distance (400 m) and assessed for future risk of pulmonary arterial hypertension-related death or hospitalization and all-cause death. Additionally, six-minute walk distance values at baseline, Month 6 and the change from baseline to Month 6 were categorized by quartiles. All associations were analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method using a log-rank test and Cox regression models. Results Patients with a six-minute walk distance |400 m vs. ≤400 m at Month 6 have a reduced risk of pulmonary arterial hypertension-related death or hospitalization (hazard ratio 0

BACKGROUND/AIM Peripheral muscle weakness and nutritional disorders, firstly loss of body weight, are common findings in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of this study was to analyse the impact of pulmonary function parameters, nutritional status and state of peripheral skeletal muscles on exercise tolerance and development of dyspnea in COPD patients. METHODS Thirty COPD patients in stable state of disease were analyzed. Standard pulmonary function tests, including spirometry, body pletysmography, and measurements of diffusion capacity were performed. The 6-minute walking distance test (6MWD) was done in order to assess exercise tolerance. Level of dyspnea was measured with Borg scale. In all patients midthigh muscle cross-sectional area (MTCSA) was measured by computerized tomography scan. Nutritional status of patients was estimated according to body mass index (BMI).

Barth syndrome (BTHS) is an X-linked disorder caused by defects in TAZ with key clinical features including cardiomyopathy, neutropenia and skeletal myopathy. In order to gain a better understanding of the range of clinical features, identify targets for monitoring, and increase knowledge of natural history of the disease, we conducted muscle strength testing, functional exercise capacity testing, physical activity assessment, balance assessment and motion reaction time testing in 33 affected individuals and 14 controls. We analyzed data points to provide a cross-sectional quantitative spectrum of disease characteristics. We also compared these data points to the matched data points collected two years prior to provide insight into effects of BTHS over time. In comparison to controls, pediatric subjects with BTHS present with significantly impaired balance and motion reaction time while adult subjects with BTHS present with significantly impaired motion reaction time.

Introduction: The aim of the study was to determine the impact of systematic individual Nordic Walking training on physical performance in older men. Material and methods: The study included 18 men (aged 52 to 73), divided into two groups. Group I (the experimental group) underwent an 8-week Nordic Walking training, while group II (the control group) did not perform any physical activity during the analyzed period. The level of physical exercise tolerance was assessed twice: at the beginning and after eight weeks of the study period using the Finnish walking test and the 30-minute walking test. The results were analyzed with the use of Statistica 10. software. Results: The results of the initial Finnish walking test show that the average values of the Fitness Index, time of a 2-kilometer distance coverage and HR were similar in both study groups.

Left atrial volume (LAV) and exercise capacity are important prognostic determinants of cardiovascular risk. Exercise intolerance and increased LAV are expected in patients with diastolic dysfunction. While dyspnea is the symptom reported by the patient and considered subjective, exercise capacity obtained by exercise testing provides an objective measure of cardiovascular fitness. The objective of this study is to determine the relationship between LAV index and exercise capacity in patients with isolated diastolic dysfunction who presented with exertional dyspnea. We studied consecutive patients with dyspnea who underwent treadmill exercise testing and transthoracic echocardiography on the same day. LAV was assessed using the biplane area-length method. Symptom-limited exercise testing was performed immediately after echocardiography. Patients with coronary artery disease, valvular or congenital heart disease, left ventricular systolic dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension or positive exercise test were

Background Oxygen uptake efficiency (OUE), the relation between oxygen uptake (VO2) and minute ventilation (VE), differs between healthy children and children with heart disease. This study aimed to investigate the normal response profiles of OUE during a progressive cardiopulmonary exercise test. Design: Cross-sectional. Methods Healthy children between eight and 19 years of age (114 boys and 100 girls, mean ± SD age 12.7 ± 2.8 years) performed a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test. Peak VO2 (VO2peak), ventilatory threshold and peak VE were determined. OUE was determined by the OUE plateau (OUEP), OUE at the ventilatory threshold ([email protected]) and OUE slope (OUES). Results OUEP (42.4 ± 4.6) and [email protected] (41.9 ± 4.7) were similar and less variable than OUES (2138 ± 703). OUEP correlated strongly with [email protected] (r = 0.974); however, OUEP was weak-to-moderately correlated with VO2peak (r = 0.646), the ventilatory threshold (r = 0.548) and OUES (r = 0.589).

Pulmonary rehabilitation is known to be a beneficial treatment for COPD patients. To date, however, there is no agreement for how long a rehabilitation program should be implemented. In addition, current views are that pulmonary rehabilitation does not improve FEV1 or even slow its decline in COPD patients. The aim of the study was to examine the efficacy of a 3 year outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program for COPD patients on pulmonary function, exercise capability, and body mass index (BMI). A matched controlled trial was performed with outcome assessments evaluated at 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months. Eighty patients with moderate to severe COPD (age 63 ± 7 years; FEV1 48% ± 14) were recruited. The control group received standard care only, while in addition, the case study group received PR for duration of three years. These groups were matched for age, sex, BMI, FEV1% and number of pack-years smoked. The decline in FEV1 after the three years was significantly lower in the PR group

This essay expounds on fundamental, quantitative elements of the exercise ventilation in children, which was the subject of the Tom Rowland Lecture given at the NASPEM 2018 Conference. Our knowledge about how much ventilation rises during aerobic exercise is reasonably solid; our understanding of its governance is a work in progress, but our grasp of dyspnea and ventilatory limitation in children (if it occurs) remains embryonic. This manuscript summarizes ventilatory mechanics during dynamic exercise, then proceeds to outline our current understanding of mechanisms of dyspnea, particularly during exercise (exertional dyspnea). Most research in this field has been done in adults, and the vast majority of these studies in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. To what extent conclusions drawn from this literature apply to children and adolescents-both healthy and those with cardiopulmonary disease-will be discussed. The few, recent, pertinent, pediatric studies will be reviewed in ...

Oxygen: the good, the bad, and the necessaryOxygen: the good, the bad, and the necessary
The article focuses on the use of oxygen therapy in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Long term oxygen therapy (LTOT) is one of the few treatments which has significant survival benefits in patients with severe hypoxaemia. In less severe hypoxaemic patients the benefits of LTOT on survival are less clear. Other benefits of oxygen administration are generally accepted. Reduced ventilation, especially during exercise, helps to avoid dynamic hyperinflation and hence reduces symptoms and increases exercise tolerance in the majority of patients with COPD, even in patients with mild hypoxaemia ...

How long should outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation be? A randomised controlled trial of 4 weeks versus 7 weeks | ThoraxHow long should outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation be? A randomised controlled trial of 4 weeks versus 7 weeks | Thorax
These results indicate that a 4 week supervised PR programme is equivalent to a 7 week supervised PR programme at comparable time points of 7 weeks and 6 months following completion of the programme. Importantly, the overall response to PR is similar to that documented in other trials.2,11 Interestingly, the 4 week group attained higher improvements in endurance walking times when compared with the 7 week group at the 7 week time point. There was also a trend for the 4 week group to attain greater improvements in all other outcome measures, although this did not reach statistical significance. A combination of hospital and home training appears to be as effective as supervised hospital based training. However, it is accepted that further study is needed to support this view.. At the 4 week time point the 4 week group largely matched the 7 week group with regard to improvements in both measures of exercise performance and health status. Patients in this trial could clearly not be blinded to the ...

Pulmonary RehabilitationPulmonary Rehabilitation
Pulmonary rehabilitation incorporates an individualised programme of physical training combined with targeted education for people who are functionally disabled by breathlessness. It aims to reduce symptoms and disability and to improve independence in people with lung disease.. At NNUH we have been running a pulmonary rehabilitation programme for 20 years. The programme is provided by a multi-professional team with involvement of the patient and family according to individual needs. Patients attend for a 2 hour session every week for eight weeks at the Willow Centre, Willowcroft Way, Cringleford and are taught exercises which can be undertaken in the home.. Although most of the evidence for pulmonary rehabilitation is for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the benefits may also apply to patients with breathlessness from other respiratory diseases. Rehabilitation should be considered at all stages of disease progression when symptoms are present and not at a ...

The aging effect on microvascular integrity, marked by endothelial dysfunction and reduction in exercise tolerance, is a major cause of CVD (cardiovascular disease). Improved dietary habits, known to reduce morbidity and mortality, are also known to attenuate those aging effects. The present study investigated the effects of combined MD (Mediterranean diet) and exercise intervention on lower- and upper-limb cutaneous microvascular functions in an older healthy population. A total of 22 sedentary healthy participants (age, 55±4 years) underwent cardiopulmonary exercise tolerance test, and were assessed for their upper- and lower-limb vascular endothelial CVC (cutaneous vascular conductance) using LDF (laser Doppler fluximetry) with endothelium-dependent [ACh (acetylcholine chloride)] and -independent [SNP (sodium nitroprusside)] vasodilation. Participants were then randomized into two groups: MD and non-MD, and followed an 8-week intervention programme, which included discontinuous treadmill ...

AIMS: Cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is used to evaluate patients with chronic heart failure (HF) usually by means of a personalized ramp exercise protocol. Our aim was to evaluate if exercise duration or ramp rate influences the results. METHODS AND RESULTS: Ninety HF patients were studied (peak V (O(2)): ,20 ml/min/kg, n=28, 15-20 ml/min/kg, n=39 and ,15 ml/min/kg, n=23). Each patient did four CPET studies. The initial study was used to separate the subjects into three groups, according to their exercise capacity.

Telerehabilitation: An Effective Strategy in Pulmonary Rehabilitation Programs? | Archivos de BronconeumologíaTelerehabilitation: An Effective Strategy in Pulmonary Rehabilitation Programs? | Archivos de Bronconeumología
There is evidence of the highest level to show that respiratory rehabilitation (RR) benefits COPD patients. The principal benefits are an increase in exercise tolerance for activities of daily living and an improvement in health-related quality of life.. RR is often criticized because the benefits of these programs are steadily lost after the patient has completed the intensive phase and loses contact with the rehabilitation team. As a result, guidelines insist on the need to implement new strategies that attempt to resolve this limitation.1,2. Telemedicine could, in theory, be a useful way of delivering RR maintenance programs to a larger COPD patient population, provided such an approach can be shown to maintain the benefits obtained from an initial intensive RR program.. Some programs have managed to maintain the initial benefits by prolonging the standard rehabilitation course for 6 months, instead of the usual 8 weeks. In a classic study conducted in outpatients, Troosters et al.3 found ...

IPF Case Study: Managing Comorbidities and Improving Quality of LifeIPF Case Study: Managing Comorbidities and Improving Quality of Life
Pulmonary Rehabilitation. ATS guidelines recommend that the majority of patients with IPF be treated with pulmonary rehabilitation.11 Pulmonary rehabilitation programs include exercise for aerobic conditioning, strength, and flexibility; nutritional counseling; psychosocial support; and other educational interventions.11 Randomized controlled trials have shown that both 6MWT distance and patient-reported HRQOL outcomes are improved with pulmonary rehabilitation.36 It is important to note that 6MWT distance is itself associated with HRQOL in the setting of IPF and may be used as a prognostic factor.38 Importantly, the correlation between dyspnea, functional status, and depression has been found to be significant, suggesting that patients who can walk greater distances may have less dyspnea, and in turn, improved depressive symptoms.39. Two recent prospective trials have also demonstrated improved patient outcomes with pulmonary rehabilitation.39,40 A German study of 402 consecutive patients with ...

Gender Differences in the Prognostic Value of Exercise Treadmill Test Characteristics - American College of CardiologyGender Differences in the Prognostic Value of Exercise Treadmill Test Characteristics - American College of Cardiology
A total of 9,569 consecutive patients were included, of which 46.8% were women. Overall, exercise capacity and heart rate recovery were significantly associated with all-cause death. Exercise capacity, chest pain, and ST-segment deviations were significantly associated with subsequent MI. In general, the relationship between ETT variables and outcomes was similar between men and women, except for abnormal exercise capacity, which had a significantly stronger association with death in men (hazard ratio [HR], 2.89; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.89-4.44), but not for women (HR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.52-1.93). In contrast, chronotropic incompetence had a significantly stronger relationship with MI for women (HR, 2.79; 95% CI, 0.94-8.27) than for men (HR, 1.29; 95% CI, 0.74-2.20).. ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Exercise Testing. T2 - Who, When, and Why?. AU - Nelson, Nicole. AU - Asplund, Chad A.. PY - 2016/3/1. Y1 - 2016/3/1. N2 - There are different modalities of exercise testing that can provide valuable information to physicians about patient and athlete fitness and cardiopulmonary status. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) is a form of exercise testing that measures ventilatory and gas exchange, heart rate, electrocardiogram, and blood pressures to provide detailed information on the cardiovascular, pulmonary, and muscular systems. This testing allows an accurate quantification of functional capacity/measure of exercise tolerance, diagnosis of cardiopulmonary disease, disease-progression monitoring or response to intervention, and the prescription of exercise and training. CPX directly measures inhaled and exhaled ventilator gases to determine the maximal oxygen uptake, which reflects the bodys maximal use of oxygen and defines the limits of the cardiopulmonary system. CPX is ...

The current study shows that low exercise capacity, age, type 2 diabetes, and hs-CRP levels are the most important determinants of cardiovascular autonomic function in patients with stable CAD with and without type 2 diabetes. HRT was also influenced by left ventricular systolic function. Autonomic function assessed by HRR, HR variability, or HRT predicted short-term cardiovascular end points in univariate analyses in CAD patients with type 2 diabetes, but not in their counterparts without type 2 diabetes. However, autonomic measures did not provide independent short-term prognostic information, even in the patients with type 2 diabetes, after adjusting for clinical, demographic, and echocardiographic risk variables, including a marker of low-grade inflammation, which remained as the independent prognostic marker.. Many studies have found an association between autonomic function and exercise capacity or physical fitness in the general population and in various patient groups, including cardiac ...

Exercise Is Key to Longer Life - Vitaguard | HealthExercise Is Key to Longer Life - Vitaguard | Health
A study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology10 sought to estimate a patients age based on performance during an exercise stress test. Over a 125,000 patients referred for exercise stress testing were included.. Estimated age was based on exercise capacity. After nearly nine years of follow-up, researchers discovered the patients estimated age based on their exercise stress test was a better predictor of mortality as compared to chronological age. The results held true for both men and women.. Researchers believe the key take-home messages were that exercise variables are powerful predictors of survival, and health care providers could consider using their physiological age as a way to motivate their patients to exercise more.11 A similar study12 evaluated 8,000 middle-aged and older adults and found adding physical activity of any intensity or duration cut their risk of early death.. The researchers believe the findings highlight the importance of movement, regardless of ...

  • The extent to which a therapeutic strategy improves exercise tolerance in a subject with impaired physiological function is considered to be a reflection of both the utility of the intervention and of its effectiveness. (ersjournals.com)
  • CONCLUSION: In COPD patients with low PEF, pursed-lip breathing reduces dynamic hyperinflation and improves exercise tolerance, breathing pattern and arterial oxygenation at submaximal intensity exercise. (minervamedica.it)

  • Objectives: We tested the hypothesis that intravenous iron improves exercise tolerance in anemic and nonanemic patients with symptomatic chronic heart failure (CHF) and iron deficiency. (elsevier.com)
Treadmill12
  • If you are doing the exercise for desaturation test, you will be asked to walk on a treadmill at a comfortable pace for a maximum of 6 minutes per exercise period. (nationaljewish.org)
  • You will exercise on a treadmill while your EKG and blood pressure are monitored. (wregional.com)
  • Exercise tolerance was determined by maximal treadmill exercise testing and was categorized into six age-specific by sex-specific levels. (ahajournals.org)
  • Exercise tolerance was assessed by treadmill time, and changes in diastolic function were quantified by transmitral flow (E/A ratio). (onlinejacc.org)
  • The primary endpoint was total exercise duration in the modified Bruce treadmill test at the 6-month follow-up. (ovid.com)
  • Conclusion The total exercise duration in the modified Bruce treadmill test at the 6-month follow-up did not differ significantly in patients treated with CSWT compared with optimal medical therapy alone. (ovid.com)
  • VO2 max (maximal oxygen consumption during maximal physical exercise and is measured by exercise tolerance test or Bruce test with walking on treadmill) and diastolic function of 8-scssion group. (thefreedictionary.com)
  • An exercise tolerance test measures your heart's rhythm and electrical activity and your blood pressure during exercise, and takes place on a treadmill within the clinic. (dorsetheartclinic.co.uk)
  • You will then be asked to exercise on a treadmill or on an exercise bike. (almondsburysurgery.nhs.uk)
  • The exercise starts at a very easy pace, and is gradually made more strenuous by increasing the speed and incline of the treadmill, or by putting some resistance on the bike wheel. (almondsburysurgery.nhs.uk)
  • Our pediatric exercise laboratory uses a stationary bicycle or a treadmill. (rochester.edu)
  • During an exercise tolerance (stress) test, the person walks at an increasingly rapid pace on a treadmill. (msdmanuals.com)
Intolerance36
  • A great deal of emphasis is given, however, to causes of exercise intolerance in COPD mainly because of the plethora of research findings that have been published in this area and also because exercise intolerance in COPD has been used as a model for understanding the interactions of different pathophysiologic mechanisms in exercise limitation. (nih.gov)
  • Exercise intolerance remains problematic in subjects with chronic heart failure (CHF) and/or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). (hindawi.com)
  • The 3 studies consistently showed that elderly CHF and COPD improved exercise intolerance after 1-3 months of EAA supplementation (8 g/d). (hindawi.com)
  • EAA mechanisms explaining improved exercise intolerance could be increases in muscle aerobic metabolism, mass and function, and improvement of tissue insulin sensitivity (the latter only for the CHF population). (hindawi.com)
