Abstract

The goal of this study was to examine the age-associated differences in ventricular-vascular coupling, defined by the ratio of arterial elastance (EaI) to left ventricular systolic elastance (E(LV)I), and its components, at rest and during exercise. Ejection fraction (EF) increases during exercise, but the EF reserve decreases with aging. Ejection fraction is inversely related to EaI/E(LV)I, an index of the interaction between arterial and ventricular properties, which is an important determinant of cardiac performance. Thus, age differences in EaI/E(LV)I during exercise, due to age differences in EaI, E(LV)I, or both, may help to explain the age deficit in EF reserve. We noninvasively characterized EaI/E(LV)I = end-systolic volume index (ESVI)/stroke volume index (SVI) and its two determinants EaI = end-systolic pressure/SVI, and E(LV)I = end-systolic pressure/ESVI, at rest and during exercise in 239 healthy men and women (age range, 21 to 87 years). Blood pressures were assessed with cuff sphygomanometry, and cardiac volumes with gated blood pool scintingraphy. Resting EaI/E(LV)I was not age related in men or women. In both sexes, EaI/E(LV)I decreased during exercise and declined to a lesser extent in older subjects. There we...Continue Reading
