Abstract:
:Present-day technology has greatly facilitated the monitoring of respiratory gas exchange in the clinical exercise laboratory. Despite the growing use of these techniques to assess the severity and progression of disease or therapeutic response in patients with heart failure, the long-term reproducibility of oxygen uptake (VO2), carbon dioxide production, minute ventilation, heart rate (HR), and blood pressure at rest and during incremental exercise in such patients, to our knowledge, has not been evaluated. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to quantify the reproducibility of these variables along with exercise duration, maximum VO2 (VO2max) and anaerobic threshold in a group of 16 patients (61 +/- 7 years, 14 male) with chronic, stable cardiac failure of varying severity and etiology who had five or more incremental treadmill exercise tests over a period of time that ranged from 3 to 22 months. For each variable, reproducibility was represented by the coefficient of variation (CVAR). Except for exercise duration, CVAR was not a function of the severity of heart failure and, for all variables, patient-to-patient variation in CVAR was approximately 9 percent. The maximum CVAR for HR, systolic blood pressure, VO2, and VO2max was generally below 10.5 percent and for exercise duration and anaerobic threshold it was less than 12.5 percent. Based on this retrospective analysis, it is concluded that reproducible respiratory gas exchange and HR exercise responses are obtainable over extended periods of time in patients with stable, chronic cardiac failure. Exercise duration, however, is less reproducible in patients with moderate to severe failure.
