Response of the stroke volume and blood pressure of young patients with nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy to exercise

Abstract

Stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) were measured during maximal symptom-limited bicycle exercise testing in 13 young patients (age, 11-26 years) with nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). SV was measured by impedance plethysmocardiography; %SVend, %COend, and %SBPend represent the ratio of the value at termination of the exercise to the respective value at rest. In all patients of HCM-I (the Cardiac Event Group, 3 patients) and 3 of HCM-II (the Non-Cardiac Event Group, 10 patients), the %SVend was less than 100%. The %SVend of HCM-I was significantly lower than the respective values of the HCM-II and Control groups. The %COend values of the HCM-I and HCM-II groups were each significantly lower than that of the Control. The %SBPend values of the HCM-I and HCM-II groups were each significantly lower than that of the Control. Among the HCM patients, the %SVend value was positively correlated with the %SBPend value. The patients who had more severe HCM had poorer exercise-induced increases in SV and SBP. These results suggest that sudden cardiac death in young HCM patients is associated with inhibition of the increase in SV upon exercise.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
