The aim of the present investigation was to compare the hemodynamic and thermal responses to a 30-min aerobic exercise between middle- or old-aged patients with normal left ventricular function and those with left ventricular dysfunction. Constant-load sitting ergometer exercise of approximately 90% of the subject's oxygen uptake (VO2) at the anaerobic threshold for 30 min was conducted in 21 patients with left ventricular dysfunction (61+/-10 years, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 35+/-7%) and 24 patients with normal left ventricular function (59+/-9 years, LVEF 71+/-7%). Heart rate (HR), blood pressure, deep temperatures in the forehead and thigh, and forearm skin blood flow (SkBF) were measured every minute, and cardiac output (CO) and stroke volume (SV) were determined every 10 min with the dye-dilution technique during the exercise. Patients of both groups exhibited a progressive elevation in each temperature and an increase in SkBF during the exercise. Although the VO2 and CO remained stable, almost the same magnitude of decrease in SV as increase in HR was seen after the 10th min of exercise in both groups. The magnitude of the decrease in SV was greater in old-aged than middle-aged patients with left ventricular dysfunction. Thus, the downward drift in SV during a 30-min constant-load aerobic exercise might not be influenced by left ventricular function, but intensified by aging in patients with left ventricular dysfunction. |
