PURPOSE: Kinetics of VO2 at onset of constant work rate exercise was previously shown to be slowed in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) compared with that in healthy normals. Because bicycle ergometry with ramp protocol is usually used for exercise testing with CHF patients, it would be of practical importance if it can be shown that a delay in the time interval of linear increase of VO2 (TILIV) to work rate occurs after beginning ramp exercise. Data of central hemodynamics (CHF) and noninvasive cardiopulmonary parameters (CHF, normals) should also correlate with VO2 delay time if this parameter is related to cardiopulmonary exercise capacity. METHODS: Fifteen males with CHF (mean +/- SEM: age 52 +/- 2 yr; ejection fraction 32 +/- 4%; peak cardiac index 3.9 +/- 0.3 L x m(-2) x min(-1)) and 28 healthy males (50 +/- 1 yr) were assessed. During ramp bicycle ergometry (3 min unloaded, work rate increments of 12.5 W x min(-1)), VO2 was measured breath by breath. RESULTS: After the onset of ramp exercise, there was a difference in the TILIV between patients and normals (83.7 +/- 3.6 vs 66.8 +/- 2.9 s; P < 0.001). Significant differences between both groups were also found for VO2 at ventilatory threshold (VT) (10.1 +/- 0.1 vs 15.2 +/- 0.7 mL x kg(-1) x min(-1); P < 0.0001), VO2 at VT relative to predicted VT (58 +/- 4 vs 97 +/- 4%; P < 0.0001), peak VO2 (13.2 +/- 1.0 vs 34 +/- 1.4 mL x kg(-1) x min(-1), P < 0.001), and increase of systolic blood pressure (36 +/- 7 vs 71 +/- 5 mm Hg; P < 0.0001). In CHF, the TILIV correlated significantly with peak cardiac index and VO2 at VT (r = -0.71; P < 0.005 each), relative value of VO2/kg at VT (r = -0.61; P < 0.03), peak VO2/kg (r = -0.63; P < 0.01), and increase of systolic blood pressure (r = -0.52; P < 0.02). In the normals only VO2/kg at VT correlated significantly with TILIV (r = -0.41; P < 0.03). In patients, stepwise regression analysis identified three predictors which could explain 79% of the variance of TILIV: VO2/kg at VT (r2 = 0.51), peak cardiac index (r2 = 0.20), and peak VO2/kg (r2 = 0.08). CONCLUSION: TILIV, determined at the onset of ramp exercise, is prolonged in CHF patients compared with that in normals and reflects severity of functional impairment because of reduced cardiac index and aerobic capacity. TILIV can provide information about changes in cardiopulmonary exercise capacity and thus can be used for follow-up and treatment studies in CHF. |
