Abstract
Isometric handgrip (IHG) imposes an acutely increased afterload on the left ventricle. Utilizing systolic time intervals, we studied various responses to IHG, measured as changes from resting values with near-maximum IHG, in old normal (ON) subjects, young normal (YN) subjects, and old patients with hypertensive heart disease (HHD) and patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). There were no differences in responses to IHG between ON and patients with HHD or patients with CAD. However, there were clear differences between the responses of ON and YN subjects. Increase in heart rate (HR) was much more prominent in YN (ON vs. YN = +11.6 +/- 2.6 vs. +15.6 +/- 5.7 beats per minute p less than 0.001). Pre-ejection period (PEP) end isovolumic contraction time (IVCT) increased in ON but decreased in YN (PEP + 6.2 +/- 1.7 vs. -11.0 +/- 3.7 msec., p less than 0.001; IVCT +8.1 +/- 2.2 vs. -13.8 +/- 3.4 msec., p less than 0.001. Shortening of LVET was much more marked in YN (-6.5 +/- 4.1 VS. -63.3 +/- 9.9 msec. p less than 0.001), but this was entirely due to the HR differences since there was no difference in ejection time index (+ 5.1 +/- 3.4 vs. -0.4 +/- 7.3 msec. p greater than 0.5). IHG produced no significant differences between ON...Continue Reading
