Cardiopulmonary Exercise

Recent data indicate that cardiac antibodies play an active role in the pathogenesis of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and may contribute to cardiac dysfunction of DCM patients. Previous studies have suggested that immunoadsorption with subsequent IgG substitution (IA/IgG) improves left ventricular function in DCM. The potential influence of this immunomodulatory therapy on cardiopulmonary exercise remains to be elucidated. 60 patients with DCM ( n = 60, NYHA II-IV, left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 45%) underwent either IA/IgG ( n = 30), or were followed up without IA ( n = 30). IA/IgG was performed in one course of five consecutive days. After three months we compared echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular function and spiroergometric exercise parameters in both groups. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) improved significantly in the IA/IgG group from 33.0 ± 1.2% to 40.1 ± 1.5% (p < 0.001 vs. control, p < 0.001 vs. baseline). In the control group, spiroergometric exercise parameters did not change during follow-up. In contrast, patients receiving IA/IgG improved significantly in the following parameters: peak oxygen uptake (peak VO 2 ; 17.3 ± 0.9 ml/min/kg to 21.8 ± 1.0 ml/min/kg; p < 0.01 vs. control, p < 0.01 vs. baseline), oxygen pulse (10.7 ± 0.7 ml/bpm to 13.6 ± 0.7 ml/bpm; p < 0.05 vs. control, p < 0.01 vs. baseline), and anaerobic threshold (VO 2 AT; 10.3 ± 0.5 ml/min/kg to 13.2 ± 0.5 ml/min/kg; p < 0.001 vs. control, p < 0.001 vs. baseline). The ventilatory response to exercise (V E /VCO 2 slope) decreased after IA/IgG therapy from 32.3 ± 1.5 to 28.7 ± 0.9 (p = 0.18 vs. controls, p = 0.02 vs. baseline), whereas there was no significant change in the control group after 3 months. IA/IgG therapy in DCM patients may induce improvement in echocardiographic and cardiopulmonary exercise parameters.

Abstract Objective: Bying comparing the correlation between three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3D-STE) and three-dimensional left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), to explore the 3D-STE to evaluate the left ventricle of patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (acute STEMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) following routine treatment with Tongxinluo drugs. Methods: Altogether, 60 patients with acute STEMI and 30 healthy adults were selected, and the patients were randomly divided into the routine group and the Tongxinluo group, with 30 people in each group. All patients underwent PCI, and routine echocardiography and 3D-STE assessments were performed for each group 72 h after PCI and 12 months after PCI to obtain the following left ventricular related functional parameters: left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), end-ventricular septal end-diastolic thickness (IVSD), left ventricular posterior wall end-diastolic thickness (LVPWD), left ventricular short axis shortening fraction (LVFS), Simpson’s left ventricular ejection fraction (Simpson’s LVEF), three-dimensional left ventricular ejection fraction (3D-LVEF), global longitudinal strain (GLS), global circumferential strain (GCS), left ventricular twist angle (LVtw), Torsion (Tor), peak strain dispersion (PSD), and myocardial comprehensive index (MCI). The same parameters were collected in the control group, the results were compared, and the correlation analysis between GCS, GLS, LVtw, Tor, and MCIF, and 3D-LVE was performed. Results: Compared with the control group, the LVFS, LVEF (Simpson), 3D-LVEF, GLS, GCS, LVtw, Tor, and MCI significantly decreased in patients with STEMI after PCI, while the PSD significantly increased ( P <0.05). Compared with the values 72 h after PCI, the LVEDD, LVFS, LVEF (Simpson), 3D-LVEF, GLS, GCS, LVtw, Tor, and MCI significantly increased at 12 m after PCI, while PSD significantly decreased ( P <0.05). No significant difference was observed between the two groups at 72 h after PCI ( P >0.05). At 12 months after PCI, the LVEF, GLS, GCS, LVtw, Tor, and MCI of the Tongxinluo group were higher than those of the routine group. The PSD was significantly lower in the Tongxinluo group ( P <0.05). MCI and 3D-LVEF have the strongest correlation and highest consistency, which can best reflect the changes in the left ventricular function in patients with acute STEMI after PCI. Conclusion: 3D-STE can be used to evaluate the protective effect of Tongxinluo on the left ventricular function in patients with acute STEMI after PCI.
