Squatting revisited: comparison of haemodynamic responses in normal individuals and heart transplantation recipients

British Heart Journal

Abstract

Squatting produces a prompt increase in cardiac output and arterial blood pressure which is accompanied by an immediate decrease in heart rate and forearm vascular resistance. The rise in cardiac output and blood pressure has been attributed to augmented venous return from compression of leg veins, while the decreases in heart rate and forearm vascular resistance are probably due to activation of cardiopulmonary and arterial baroreflexes. Haemodynamic patterns in nine normal men and six heart transplant recipients during 2 min of squatting were examined to determine the role of cardiac innervation in the mediation of these responses. Stroke volume was monitored by ensemble averaged thoracic impedance cardiography and blood pressure was determined with an Ohmeda fingertip plethysmograph. These techniques provided continuous measurements which were capable of detecting transient and non-steady state changes. Forearm blood flow was measured with venous occlusion plethysmography. Measurements were obtained after 3 min of quiet standing, immediately after squatting, and at 20, 60, and 120 s of sustained squatting. Both groups exhibited similar increases in stroke volume index (normal individuals 10.5 ml/m2; heart transplant recipien...Continue Reading
