Abstract
BACKGROUND
The aim of the study is to compare the impact of intravenous glucose versus lipid versus saline on exercise-induced myocardial ischemia in patients with stable angina.
METHODS
Twelve men with coronary artery disease and positive exercise tests performed a symptom-limited, modified Bruce electrocardiogram (ECG) exercise test at 3 sessions, 3 weeks apart. They randomly received, in double-blind design, at each session equal intravenous volumes of 10% glucose/insulin or Intralipid plus heparin or saline. We assessed the effects on (1) ischemic threshold (heart rate x systolic pressure at 1-mm ST-segment depression [STD]) and (2) maximum ST-depression (Max STD) corresponding to the highest heart rate x systolic pressure common to the 3 tests.
RESULTS
During glucose infusion, glycemia increased from 5.7 +/- 0.4 to 9.4 +/- 3.0 mmol/L but did not change during lipid or saline infusion. During lipid infusion, free fatty acids increased from 0.32 +/- 0.19 to 1.44 +/- 0.46 mmol/L but decreased during glucose infusion from 0.39 +/- 0.21 to 0.04 +/- 0.03 mmol/L and did not change during saline. Exercise times were 10.0 +/- 3.4, 9.8 +/- 3.4, and 10.3 +/- 3.5 minutes, during glucose, lipid, and saline infusions, respectively. Ischemic thresholds (x 10(-3)) were 16.5 +/- 2.8, 16.8 +/- 2.7, and 16.6 +/- 2.6, respectively. MaxSTD was 2.5 +/- 1.4, 2.5 +/- 1.0, and 2.5 +/- 1.0 mm, respectively.
CONCLUSION
Neither glucose-insulin nor lipid infusion modified exercise ischemic parameters compared with saline control, suggesting that marked and acute changes in exogenous energy substrate are unlikely to affect exercise-induced myocardial ischemia.
