Ventriculo-arterial coupling during aerobic and anaerobic exercise in normal subjects

Abstract

Physiological differences in aerobic and anaerobic exercise were assessed within the coupling framework between the left ventricle and the arterial system. In 10 normal men, the anaerobic threshold was estimated using sequential breath gas analysis during incremental ergometer tests. Direct arterial pressure and left ventricular echocardiograms were simultaneously recorded as its pressure was changed by phenylephrine or nitroprusside, and the slope (Ees) and volume axis intercept (Vo) of the end-systolic pressure (ESP)-volume relationship were determined. The effective arterial elastance (Ea) was expressed by the slope of the ESP-stroke volume relationship. Assuming that the Vo was unchanged from the resting state, the Ees and Ea were determined during exercise at aerobic and anaerobic work levels for each subject. During aerobic exercise, an increase in left ventricular end-diastolic volume and the tendency to decrease in ESP caused a significant fall in Ea by 30%. There was no significant change in Ees. Consequently, Ea/Ees which correlates inversely with left ventricular pump efficiency, decreased by 35%. During anaerobic exercise, Ea remained the same as during aerobic exercise, but Ees rose substantially by 89%. This cause...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
