Left Ventricular Volume During Maximal Supine Exercise:
نویسندگان
چکیده
Changes in left ventricular (LV) volumes and ejection fraction between rest and maximal supine exercise were evaluated in 11 patients who had had four epicardial markers placed during coronary artery surgery. After calibrating marker distances with respect to volume (r = 0.92-0.99) over one cardiac cycle for each patient, regression equations were used to compute LV volume from marker measurements for beats before and during exercise. The response of the left ventricle to exercise and the extent of revascularization could uiot be predicted from resting LV volume or ejection fraction. Ten patients had normal resting end-diastolic volumes and eight had normal resting ejection fractions. With exercise, three had a rise in end-diastolic volume and four had a fall in ejection fraction. Graft patency was greater in the group with an unchanged or increased ejection fraction (86

متن کاملLeft ventricular function in trained and untrained healthy subjects.
Left ventricular function was compared in 18 normal sedentary controls (mean age 28 years, range 22 - 34 years) and nine endurance-trained athletes (mean age 19 years, range 15 - 25 years) at rest and during supine bicycle exercise. Gated radionuclide angiocardiograms were performed at rest and at each level of graded maximal supine bicycle exercise. Heart rate, blood pressure, left ventricular...
متن کاملLeft ventricular performance in normal subjects: a comparison of the responses to exercise in the upright and supine positions.
Left ventricular (LV) performance at rest and during multilevel exercise in the supine and upright positions was studied in seven normal subjects with equilibrium radionuclide ventriculography. The mean left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) during supine rest was 107 4 10 ml (± SEM) and 85 ± 6 ml (p < 0.02) in the upright position; the mean resting left ventricular end-systolic volumes ...

متن کاملAssessment of left ventricular contractility during supine exercise in children with left-sided cardiac disease.
Exercise stresses the cardiovascular system and causes it to use its reserve capacities. Exercise assessment may unmask abnormalities of left ventricular contractility not suspected from or detected by resting measurements. We have studied the following indices of left ventricular contractility in 21 children with left-sided congenital heart disease: maximum dP/dt, Vmax, Vpm, Vcf, and peak meri...
