Left ventricular performance in normal subjects: a comparison of the responses to exercise in the upright and supine positions.

Abstract: SUMMARY Left ventricular (LV) performance at rest and during multilevel exercise in the supine and upright positions was studied in seven normal subjects with equilibrium radionuclide ventriculography. The mean left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) during supine rest was 107 4 10 ml (± SEM) and 85 ± 6 ml (p < 0.02) in the upright position; the mean resting left ventricular end-systolic volumes (LVESV) were not diSferent in the upright and supine positions. The Changes in posture at rest are associate… Show more

“…All subjects had marked ventricular dilatation at rest, with mean LV end-diastolic volume index approximately twice normal and end-systolic volume index over five times normal (Rackley et al, 1980). Instead of the normally unchanged or decreased end-systolic volume with exercise (Manyari and Kostuk, 1983;Poliner et al, 1980), IDC patients developed progressive end-systolic enlargement. LV end-diastolic volume also increased significantly, a pattern which may be abnormal (Manyari and Kostuk, 1983).…”

“…Prolonged hyperglycaemia alters myocardial structure through the accumulation of advanced glycation end-products and, in the case of collagen, by promoting fibrosis and decreased connective tissue flexibility [6]. Because the increment in stroke volume during upright exercise is caused primarily by increases in end-diastolic volume [7], increased myocardial stiffness and/or altered filling characteristics might limit the exercise.…”
