Abstract

Exercise produces profound alterations in symptoms and hemodynamics in patients with valvular aortic stenosis (AS). Prior studies have demonstrated marked increases in late left ventricular (LV) diastolic filling pressure with exercise. Little information is available on the exercise response of indexes of early LV diastolic performance. Catheter-tip manometer recordings in 11 patients with AS and 5 age-matched controls were obtained at rest and with supine bicycle exercise at the time of cardiac catheterization. Pressure-derived indexes of LV diastolic performance, isovolumic relaxation rate, and diastolic interval data were examined. At rest, early (patients 22 +/- 6 mm Hg, controls 12 +/- 3 mm Hg; p < 0.01), minimal (patients 9 +/- 4 mm Hg, controls 4 +/- 1 mm Hg; p < 0.01), and late (patients 28 +/- 10 mm Hg, controls 13 +/- 3 mm Hg; p < 0.002) LV diastolic pressures were elevated in patients with AS. The time to onset of isovolumic relaxation (patients 422 +/- 31 ms, controls 363 +/- 40 ms; p < 0.01) and minimal LV diastolic pressure (patients 608 +/- 57 ms, controls 448 +/- 52 ms; p < 0.002) at rest were prolonged in patients with AS. With exercise, early (patients 45 +/- 14 mm Hg, controls 15 +/- 3 mm Hg; p < 0.002), min...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
