Understanding exercise hemodynamics

Sildenafil improves exercise hemodynamics in Fontan patients.

BACKGROUND Patients with Fontan circulation have reduced exercise capacity. The absence of a presystemic pump may limit flow through the pulmonary circulation, restricting ventricular filling and cardiac output. We evaluated exercise hemodynamics and the effect of sildenafil on exercise hemodynamics in Fontan patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Ten Fontan patients (6 men, 20±4 years) underwent card...

Left ventricular hemodynamics in exercise-induced angina pectoris.

SUMMARY The sequence of events characterizing the onset and course of exercise-induced angina pectoris was studied in 10 patients with ischemic heart disease during cardiac catheterization. Exercise produced a precipitous rise in left ventricular end-diastolic pressure prior to the onset of angina and electrocardiographic ischemia. A corresponding abnormal increase in pulmonary artery pressure ...
