Does left ventricular diastolic function during exercise correlate with exercise capacity in men after myocardial infarction?
Left ventricular diastolic reserve during exercise is an important determinant of exercise capacity in patients with left ventricular dysfunction after myocardial infarction.
Miyashita et al. (2001) conducted an observational in Left ventricular dysfunction after myocardial infarction (n=26). Peak Vo2 ≥ 16 ml/kg per min vs. Peak Vo2 < 16 ml/kg per min was evaluated on Hemodynamic parameters and oxygen uptake (Vo2) during peak exercise. Peak Vo2 was significantly correlated with left ventricular diastolic function parameters (tau, minimal LVP, minimal dP/dt, EDP) during peak exercise in 26 men with previous myocardial infarction.
