Abstract EN
This study was investigated the role that endothelial function and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) play in determining cardiac function reserve during exercise by a new ambulatory radionuclide monitoring system (VEST) in patients with heart disease.
The study population consisted of 32 patients.
The patients had cardiopulmonary stress testing using the treadmill Ramp protocol and the VEST.
The anaerobic threshold (AT) was autodetermined using the V-slope method.
The SVR was calculated by determining the mean blood pressure/cardiac output.
Flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) was measured in the brachial artery to evaluate endotheilial function.
FMD and the percent change f'rom rest to AT in SVR correlated with those from rest to AT in ejection fraction and peak ejection ratio by VEST, respectively.
Our findings suggest that FMD in the brachial artery and the SVR determined by VEST in patients with heart disease can possibly reflect cardiac function reserve during aerobic exercise.
