Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Two different methods of causing myocardial oxygen demand and supply imbalance; symptom limited treadmill exercise and right atrial pacing stimulation, were used to examine the alteration of hemodynamics and the effects upon sympathetic nerve activities, platelet functions and prostaglandin synthesis in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Age and sex distributions, the cardiothoracic ratio, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, ejection fraction and coronary artery obstructions of the patients did not differ significantly between the two tests. Arterial blood samples were obtained to assay for plasma catecholamine, beta-thromboglobulin (beta TG), platelet factor 4 (PF4), TXB2 (thromboxane B2) and 6 keto-PGF1-alpha (6 ketoprostaglandin F1-alpha) without any difficulties before and immediately after testing. The arterial systolic pressure and pressure rate product (PRP) were changed more significantly by treadmill exercise than pacing, while the DPTI/TTI (diastolic pressure time index/tension time index) ratio and ST segment deviations showed similar changes with both tests. The plasma NE (norepinephrine) level, beta TG, PF4, and TXB2/6 keto-PGF1-alpha were significantly elevated by treadmill exercise, but not by pacing. 6 keto-PGF1-alpha was not markedly affected by either tests. There were no significant differences between the patients with and without anginal pain either in hemodynamics or metabolites. Significant relationships were observed between changes in plasma NE levels and the PRP (r = 0.76, n = 26, p less than 0.01) and also changes in the arterial systolic pressure (r = 0.64, n = 26, p less than 0.01), but there were no significant correlations between any other hemodynamic parameters with plasma NE, platelet function, prostaglandin activity, or between each metabolite.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
