Jia M, Wang Z, Hu F. Causal relationship between physical activity and platelet traits: a Mendelian randomization study. Front Physiol 2024; 15:1371638. [PMID: 38571721 PMCID: PMC10987957 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2024.1371638] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to discuss the causal relationship between physical activity and platelet traits. Methods: A dataset from a large-scale European physical activity and platelet traits was collected by using Mendelian randomization of the study. For the analysis, the inverse variance weighting method, weighted median and MR-Egger were used to estimate causal effects. The sensitivity analyses were also performed using Cochran's Q test, funnel plots and Leave-one-out analysis. Results: Light DIY, other exercises, strenuous sports, walking for pleasure were significantly associated with a decrease in platelet crit. But none of the heavy /light DIY was associated with increase in platelet crit. Other exercises and strenuous sports were associated with decrease in platelet count. Conclusion: Some types of physical activity have a causal relationship with platelet crit and platelet count. However, the types of physical activity we studied have not supported a causal relationship with mean platelet volume and platelet distribution width.

Abstract
Objectives This study evaluated the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT), and pentoxifylline (PTX) on coagulation factors, including the amount and percentage of lymphocytes, PLC, PLR, aPTT, PT, PT.I.N. R in a model of rats with endometriosis. Methods Endometriosis was surgically induced in female Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats with confirmed endometrial implants were divided into control, MICT, pentoxifylline (D), HIIT+D, and MICT+D, HIIT groups. D and exercise interventions were performed for eight weeks. Then, the macroscopic size of endometriosis lesions was measured, and inflammatory factors (count and percentage of lymphocytes) and coagulation factors, including PLC, PLR, aPTT, PT, PT.I.N. R, and PLR in blood samples were evaluated. Results D significantly decreased the volume of lesions and significantly increased PT and PT.I.N. R in blood. HIIT decreased the volume of lesions and significantly increased PT. MICT did not cause significant effects on the target variables. MICT+D decreased the volume of lesions. HIIT+D significantly decreased the volume of lesions and PLC and increased aPTT as well as the count and percentage of lymphocytes, PT, and PT.I.N. R, and decreased PLR. Conclusions All interventions(except for MICT) especially HIIT+D and D by priority, induced a significant effect on reducing some indices of inflammation and coagulation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Regular exercise training is essential in prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD), yet the beneficial effects of exercise remain only partly explained. Platelets play a key role in CVD and may be affected by regular exercise training. We aimed to systematically summarise studies investigating the effect of regular exercise training on platelet function in patients with CVD and in healthy individuals. METHODS Studies were identified by PubMed, Embase and Web of Science May 16, 2022. We selected studies investigating markers of platelet function in relation to regular exercise training in patients with CVD and in healthy individuals. Regular exercise was defined as exercise training for four weeks or more. RESULTS Of the included studies, 11 investigated patients with CVD and 29 were on healthy individuals. Studies were heterogeneous regarding design, study population and methodology, and the results were ambiguous. In total, 52 different markers of platelet function were investigated with platelet aggregation, soluble P-selectin, and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) as the most frequently examined. When evaluating between-group changes after regular exercise, two studies found a reduced platelet aggregation in the exercise group whilst three studies did not find a difference between groups. With respect to TXB2, three studies reported a reduction and two studies an increase in the exercise group. There were no between-group differences in the seven studies examining soluble P-selectin. CONCLUSION Regular exercise training has no clear impact on platelet function in patients with CVD or healthy individuals. PROSPERO REGISTRATION CRD42022350539.

Effects of high-intensity interval training on trajectories of gas-exchange measures and blood lactate concentrations during cardiopulmonary exercise tests in cardiac rehabilitation-A randomized controlled trial. Scand J Med Sci Sports 2023. [PMID: 37114323 DOI: 10.1111/sms.14380] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2022] [Revised: 03/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/12/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal allocation of training time to different intensities in cardiac rehabilitation is still under debate. The objective of this study was to explore whether in a 12-week cardiac rehabilitation program, replacement of two of four usual continuous endurance training (CET) sessions per week with energy expenditure-matched high-intensity interval training (HIIT) affects the trajectories of cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) variables such as ventilatory equivalents for O2 (EqO2 ) and CO2 (EqCO2 ), and blood lactate (BLa) during CPET. METHODS Eighty-two male patients undergoing outpatient cardiac rehabilitation after an acute coronary syndrome were randomized to CET (age [mean ± SD] 61.7 ± 9.8 years, body mass index [BMI] 28.1 ± 3.4) or HIIT+CET (60.0 ± 9.4 years, BMI 28.5 ± 3.5). CPET was performed at baseline, after 6 and after 12 weeks. HIIT consisted of ten 60-s bouts of cycling at an intensity of 100% of the maximal power output (Pmax ) achieved in an incremental test to exhaustion, interspersed with 60 s at 20% Pmax . CET was performed at 60% Pmax with equal duration. Training intensities were adjusted after 6 weeks to account for the training-induced improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness. The entire functions defining the relationship between EqO2 , EqCO2 , and BLa, with power output were modeled using linear mixed models to assess how these trajectories are affected by HIIT. RESULTS After 6 and 12 weeks, Pmax increased to 112.9% and 117.5% of baseline after CET, and to 113.9% and 124.7% after HIIT+CET (means). Twelve weeks of HIIT+CET elicited greater reductions of EqO2 and EqCO2 than CET alone (p < 0.0001 each) in a range above 100% baseline Pmax . Specifically, at 100% of baseline Pmax , least squares arithmetic mean EqO2 values of CET and HIIT+CET patients were 36.2 versus 33.5. At 115% and 130% of baseline Pmax , EqO2 values were 41.2 versus 37.1 and 47.2 versus 41.7. Similarly, corresponding EqCO2 values of CET and HIIT+CET patients were 32.4 versus 31.0, 34.3 versus 32.2, and 37.0 versus 34.0. Conversely, mean BLa levels (mM) were not differently affected (p = 0.64). At 100%, 115%, and 130% of baseline Pmax after 12 weeks, BLa levels did not differ to a relevant extent (least squares geometric means, 3.56 vs. 3.63, 5.59 vs. 5.61, 9.27 vs. 9.10). CONCLUSIONS While HIIT+CET reduced ventilatory equivalents more effectively than CET alone, specifically when patients were approaching their maximal performance during CPET, both training strategies were equally effective in reducing BLa levels.

The Acute and Chronic Effects of Resistance and Aerobic Exercise in Hemostatic Balance: A Brief Review. Sports (Basel) 2023; 11:sports11040074. [PMID: 37104148 PMCID: PMC10143125 DOI: 10.3390/sports11040074] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2022] [Revised: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Hemostatic balance refers to the dynamic balance between blood clot formation (coagulation), blood clot dissolution (fibrinolysis), anticoagulation, and innate immunity. Although regular habitual exercise may lower the incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) by improving an individual’s hemostatic profile at rest and during exertion, vigorous exercise may increase the risk of sudden cardiac death and venous thromboembolism (VTE). This literature review aims to investigate the hemostatic system’s acute and chronic adaptive responses to different types of exercise in healthy and patient populations. Compared to athletes, sedentary healthy individuals demonstrate similar post-exercise responses in platelet function and coagulatory and fibrinolytic potential. However, hemostatic adaptations of patients with chronic diseases in regular training is a promising field. Despite the increased risk of thrombotic events during an acute bout of vigorous exercise, regular exposure to high-intensity exercise might desensitize exercise-induced platelet aggregation, moderate coagulatory parameters, and up-regulate fibrinolytic potential via increasing tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and decreasing plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) response. Future research might focus on combining different types of exercise, manipulating each training characteristic (frequency, intensity, time, and volume), or investigating the minimal exercise dosage required to maintain hemostatic balance, especially in patients with various health conditions.

Abstract
IntroductionPatients with coronary artery disease (CAD) have prothrombotic changes compared with healthy individuals. Regular exercise reduces cardiovascular mortality in patients with stable CAD. However, the underlying mechanism for the beneficial effect is unknown. We investigated whether regular exercise would inhibit platelet aggregation and thrombin generation and increase fibrinolysis in patients with CAD. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with CAD were randomised 1:1 to a supervised high-intensity exercise training programme or standard care for 12 weeks. Blood samples were obtained at baseline and after 6 and 12 weeks. Platelet aggregation was evaluated with the Multiplate Analyser, thrombin generation using the calibrated automated thrombogram and fibrinolysis employing a clot lysis assay. RESULTS A total of 169 stable patients with CAD were randomised, and 142 patients (67±9 years, 83% males) completed the study; 64 in the exercise group and 78 in the standard care group. All but one patients received single antiplatelet therapy. From baseline to 12 weeks postintervention (Δ), no significant between-group differences were found in adenosine diphosphate-induced platelet aggregation (Δ-15 aggregation units (AU), AU×min, 95% CI -70 to 40 in the exercise group and Δ-26 AU×min, 95% CI -77 to 26 in the standard care group, p=0.44); endogenous thrombin potential (medians: Δ-5%, 95% CI -12 to 3 in the exercise group and Δ-6%, 95% CI -13 to 1 in the standard care group, p=0.26); nor in 50% clot lysis time (medians: Δ-9%, 95% CI -23 to 7 in the exercise group and Δ-17%, 95% CI -29 to -3 in the standard care group, p=0.60). CONCLUSIONS Twelve weeks of high-intensity whole-body endurance exercise did not affect platelet aggregation, thrombin generation or fibrinolysis in patients with stable CAD.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gas transmitter found in eukaryotic organisms, plays an essential role in several physiological processes. H2S is one of the three primary biological gas transmission signaling mediators, along with nitric oxide and carbon monoxide. Several animal and in vitro experiments have indicated that H2S can prevent coronary endothelial mesenchymal transition, reduce the expression of endothelial cell adhesion molecules, and stabilize intravascular plaques, suggesting its potential role in the treatment of atherosclerosis (AS). H2S donors are compounds that can release H2S under certain circumstances. Development of highly targeted H2S donors is a key imperative as these can allow for in-depth evaluation of the anti-atherosclerotic effects of exogenous H2S. More importantly, identification of an optimal H2S donor is critical for the creation of H2S anti-atherosclerotic prodrugs. In this review, we discuss a wide range of H2S donors with anti-AS potential along with their respective transport pathways and design-related limitations. We also discuss the utilization of nano-synthetic technologies to manufacture H2S donors. This innovative and effective design example sheds new light on the production of highly targeted H2S donors.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study is to explore the effect of cardiac rehabilitation therapy combined with WeChat platform education on patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Eighty-eight UAP patients undergoing PCI in our hospital from June 2018 to June 2021 were chosen as the study subjects and were grouped according to the intervention methods. Specifically, patients receiving routine treatment only were included as the control group (CG) and those receiving cardiac rehabilitation therapy combined with WeChat platform education based on the routine treatment were included as the study group (SG), with 44 cases in each group. The clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups after intervention. Results Compared with CG, SG achieved notably better biochemical indexes of TC, TG, FBG, FIB, LDL-c, and HDL-c after 12 months of intervention (P < 0.05), lower systolic pressure (SBP), and diastolic pressure (DBP) after intervention (P < 0.05), and higher scores of limited mobility, anginal stability, anginal frequency, subjective perception, treatment satisfaction, and total SAQ after 12 months of intervention (P < 0.05). The LVEF levels of both groups increased after intervention (P < 0.05), and the LVEF level was higher in SG than in CG (P < 0.05). The incidence of adverse cardiac events such as heart failure, ventricular arrhythmia, and sudden cardiac death was slightly higher in CG than in SG within 12 months of intervention, with no statistical difference (P > 0.05). The UAP recurrence rate and incidence of myocardial infarction in CG were obviously higher than those in SG (P < 0.05). Conclusion Cardiac rehabilitation therapy combined with WeChat platform education intervention measures for UAP patients after PCI can effectively control the biochemical indexes such as blood lipid and blood glucose, improve the cardiac function, stabilize the disease condition, lower the recurrence rate, and reduce the incidence of other cardiac adverse events.

Abstract
PURPOSE High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is gaining popularity as a training approach for patients attending cardiac rehabilitation (CR). While the literature has focused on the efficacy of HIIT for improving cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), particularly when compared with moderate intensity exercise, less emphasis has been placed on adherence to HIIT. The aim of this review was to summarize the current literature regarding adherence to HIIT in CR patients with coronary artery disease. REVIEW METHODS A review identified 36 studies investigating HIIT in CR patients with coronary artery disease. Methods and data were extracted for exercise or training adherence (to attendance, intensity, and duration), feasibility of protocols, and CRF. The review summarizes reporting of adherence; adherence to HIIT and comparator/s; the influence of adherence on changes in CRF; and feasibility of HIIT. SUMMARY Adherence to the attendance of HIIT sessions was high and comparable with moderate-intensity exercise. However, adherence to the intensity and duration of HIIT was variable and underreported, which has implications for determining the treatment effect of the exercise interventions being compared. Furthermore, additional research is needed to investigate the utility of home-based HIIT and long-term adherence to HIIT following supervised programs. This review provides recommendations for researchers in the measurement and reporting of adherence to HIIT and other exercise interventions to facilitate a sufficient and consistent approach for future studies. This article also highlights strategies for clinicians to improve adherence, feasibility, and enjoyment of HIIT for their patients.

Abstract
Arterial thrombosis is the primary cause of death worldwide, with the most important risk factors being smoking, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity. However, although there are clear indications in the literature of beneficial effects of physical activity in lowering the risk of cardiovascular events, exercise can be considered a double-edged sword in that physical exertion can induce an immediate pro-thrombotic environment. Epidemiological studies show an increased risk of cardiovascular events after acute exercise, a risk, which appear to be particularly apparent in individuals with lifestyle-related disease. Factors that cause the increased susceptibility to arterial thrombosis with exercise are both chemical and mechanical in nature and include circulating catecholamines and vascular shear stress. Exercise intensity plays a marked role on such parameters, and evidence in the literature accordingly points at a greater susceptibility to thrombus formation at high compared to light and moderate intensity exercise. Of importance is, however, that the susceptibility to arterial thrombosis appears to be lower in exercise-conditioned individuals compared to sedentary individuals. There is currently limited data on the role of acute and chronic exercise on the susceptibility to arterial thrombosis, and many studies include incomplete assessments of thrombogenic clotting profile. Thus, further studies on the role of exercise, involving valid biomarkers, are clearly warranted.

Abstract
Previous meta-analyses have shown that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is more suitable than moderate continuous training (MCT) for improving peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) in patients with coronary artery disease. However, none of these meta-analyses have tried to explain the heterogeneity of the empirical studies in optimizing cardiac rehabilitation programs. Therefore, our aims were (a) to estimate the effect of MCT and HIIT on VO2peak, and (b) to find the potential moderator variables. A search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect. Out of the 3,110 references retrieved, 29 studies fulfilled the selection criteria to be included in our meta-analysis. The mean difference was used as the effect size index. Our results showed significant enhancements in VO2peak after cardiac rehabilitation based on MCT and HIIT (mean difference = 3.23; 95% confidence interval [2.81, 3.65] ml·kg-1·min-1 and mean difference = 4.61; 95% confidence interval [4.02, 5.19] ml·kg-1·min-1, respectively), with greater increases after HIIT (p < .001). Heterogeneity analyses reached statistical significance with moderate heterogeneity for MCT (p < .001; I2 = 67.0%), whereas no heterogeneity was found for the effect of HIIT (p = .220; I2 = 22.0%). Subgroup analyses showed significant between-group heterogeneity of the MCT-induced effect based on the training mode (p < .001; I2 = 90.4%), the risk of a new event (p = .010; I2 = 77.4%), the type of cardiovascular event (p = .009; I2 = 84.8%), the wait time to start cardiac rehabilitation (p = .010; I2 = 76.6%), and participant allocation (p = .002; I2 = 89.9%). Meta-regressions revealed that the percentages of patients undergoing a revascularization procedure (B = -0.022; p = .041) and cardiorespiratory fitness at baseline (B = -0.103; p = .025) were inversely related to the MCT-induced effect on the VO2peak.
