Breathing pattern and pulmonary gas exchange in elderly patients with and without left ventricular dysfunction-modification with exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation and prognostic value.

Abstract
Background Inefficient ventilation is an established prognostic marker in patients with heart failure. It is not known whether inefficient ventilation is also linked to poor prognosis in patients with left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) but without overt heart failure. Objectives To investigate whether inefficient ventilation in elderly patients with LVD is more common than in patients without LVD, whether it improves with exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (exCR), and whether it is associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Methods In this large multicentre observational longitudinal study, patients aged ≥65 years with acute or chronic coronary syndromes (ACS, CCS) without cardiac surgery who participated in a study on the effectiveness of exCR in seven European countries were included. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) was performed before, at the termination of exCR, and at 12 months follow-up. Ventilation (VE), breathing frequency (BF), tidal volume (VT), and end-expiratory carbon dioxide pressure (PETCO2) were measured at rest, at the first ventilatory threshold, and at peak exercise. Ventilatory parameters were compared between patients with and without LVD (based on cardio-echography) and related to MACE at 12 month follow-up. Results In 818 patients, age was 72.5 ± 5.4 years, 21.9% were women, 79.8% had ACS, and 151 (18%) had LVD. Compared to noLVD, in LVD resting VE was increased by 8%, resting BF by 6%, peak VE, peak VT, and peak PETCO2 reduced by 6%, 8%, and 5%, respectively, and VE/VCO2 slope increased by 11%. From before to after exCR, resting VE decreased and peak PETCO2 increased significantly more in patients with compared to without LVD. In LVD, higher resting BF, higher nadir VE/VCO2, and lower peak PETCO2 at baseline were associated with MACE. Conclusions Similarly to patients with HF, in elderly patients with ischemic LVD, inefficient resting and exercise ventilation was associated with worse outcomes, and ExCR alleviated abnormal breathing patterns and gas exchange parameters.

Effects of continuous vs interval exercise training on oxygen uptake efficiency slope in patients with coronary artery disease. Braz J Med Biol Res 2016; 49:e4890.

Abstract
The oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) is a submaximal index incorporating
cardiovascular, peripheral, and pulmonary factors that determine the ventilatory
response to exercise. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of
continuous exercise training and interval exercise training on the OUES in patients
with coronary artery disease. Thirty-five patients (59.3±1.8 years old; 28 men, 7
women) with coronary artery disease were randomly divided into two groups: continuous
exercise training (n=18) and interval exercise training (n=17). All patients
performed graded exercise tests with respiratory gas analysis before and 3 months
after the exercise-training program to determine ventilatory anaerobic threshold
(VAT), respiratory compensation point, and peak oxygen consumption (peak
VO2). The OUES was assessed based on data from the second minute of
exercise until exhaustion by calculating the slope of the linear relation between
oxygen uptake and the logarithm of total ventilation. After the interventions, both
groups showed increased aerobic fitness (P<0.05). In addition, both the continuous
exercise and interval exercise training groups demonstrated an increase in OUES
(P<0.05). Significant associations were observed in both groups: 1) continuous
exercise training (OUES and peak VO2 r=0.57; OUES and VO2 VAT
r=0.57); 2) interval exercise training (OUES and peak VO2 r=0.80; OUES and
VO2 VAT r=0.67). Continuous and interval exercise training resulted in
a similar increase in OUES among patients with coronary artery disease. These
findings suggest that improvements in OUES among CAD patients after aerobic exercise
training may be dependent on peripheral and central mechanisms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To test the hypotheses that 1) coronary artery disease patients with lower aerobic fitness exhibit a lower ventilatory efficiency and 2) coronary artery disease patients with lower initial aerobic fitness exhibit greater improvements in ventilatory efficiency with aerobic exercise training. METHOD A total of 123 patients (61.0±0.7 years) with coronary artery disease were divided according to aerobic fitness status into 3 groups: group 1 (n = 34, peak VO₂<17.5 ml/kg/min), group 2 (n = 67, peak VO₂>17.5 and <24.5 ml/kg/min) and group 3 (n = 22, peak VO₂>24.5 ml/kg/min). All patients performed a cardiorespiratory exercise test on a treadmill. Ventilatory efficiency was determined by the lowest VE/VCO₂ ratio observed. The exercise training program comprised moderate-intensity aerobic exercise performed 3 times per week for 3 months. Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT02106533 RESULTS: Before intervention, group 1 exhibited both lower peak VO2 and lower ventilatory efficiency compared with the other 2 groups (p<0.05). After the exercise training program, group 1 exhibited greater improvements in aerobic fitness and ventilatory efficiency compared with the 2 other groups (group 1: ▵ = -2.5±0.5 units; group 2: ▵ = -0.8±0.3 units; and group 3: ▵ = -1.4±0.6 units, respectively; p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Coronary artery disease patients with lower aerobic fitness status exhibited lower ventilatory efficiency during a graded exercise test. In addition, after 3 months of aerobic exercise training, only the patients with initially lower levels of aerobic fitness exhibited greater improvements in ventilatory efficiency.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To elucidate the responsible mechanisms of increased slope of minute ventilation relative to carbon dioxide production (VE/VCO(2)) during exercise after acute myocardial infarction without overt signs of heart failure, patients who had an acute myocardial infarction were examined after participating in a three month supervised exercise training programme. DESIGN Exercise testing, hypercapnic CO(2) chemosensitivity measurement (rebreathing method), and pulmonary function test were repeated at entry and after three months in 50 acute myocardial infarction patients with neither symptoms nor signs of heart failure who completed the training programme. Ten patients who performed initial inhospital training served as controls. RESULTS Age, peak oxygen uptake, left ventricular ejection fraction, CO(2) chemosensitivity, respiratory parameters (percentage of predicted normal vital capacity (%VC), forced expiratory volume in one second, and carbon monoxide transfer factor (%TLCO)) were all significantly correlated with VE/VCO(2) slope. Multivariate regression analysis showed that age (beta = 0.29, p = 0.01), %TLCO (beta = -0.27, p = 0.01), and CO(2) chemosensitivity (beta = 0.49, p < 0.001) were independent determinants of VE/VCO(2) slope. After three months, there was no significant change in these parameters in the control group. Peak oxygen uptake, %TLCO, and %VC and attenuation in CO(2) chemosensitivity increased significantly in the training group. The VE/VCO(2) slope decreased marginally (p = 0.11). The changes in VE/VCO(2) slope were correlated only with those in CO(2) chemosensitivity (r = 0.50, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION After acute myocardial infarction, exercise hyperventilation is seen in association with aging, enhanced hypercapnic CO(2) chemosensitivity, and reduced TLCO, even in the absence of overt heart failure. The correlation of VE/VCO(2) attenuation after training with the reduction in CO(2) chemosensitivity suggests that exercise training may reduce increased VE/VCO(2) slope, at least partially by reducing CO(2) chemosensitivity.

Abstract
Correlations between baseline hemodynamic and oximetric variables during an invasive exercise test and an improvement in peak oxygen uptake (peak VO2) after exercise training (ET) were examined in 20 patients who participated in a cardiac rehabilitation program after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Peak VO2 significantly increased by 23 +/- 21% (p < 0.01) after ET and the improvement best correlated with the change in O2 extraction fraction ([arterial O2 content-venous O2 content]/arterial O2 content) during an exercise testbefore ET (r = -0.61, p<0.01). Exercise capacity was improved to a greater extent by ET in patients with a smaller increase in O2 extraction fraction during an exercise test before ET. Thus, O2 extraction fraction during an exercise test before ET may be a useful predictor of the improvement in exercise capacity after ET in post-AMI patients.

Abstract
To assess the validity of accelerometry in measuring daily physical activity, the energy consumption calculated by accelerometry, with respiratory gas analysis as a reference, was evaluated in 45 non-athletes during various exercise tests. Subjects were required to (1) walk on a treadmill ergometer at various speeds, (2) walk on a treadmill ergometer at a fixed speed and with a stride of 20% more or 20% less than that when walking freely, (3) walk on a treadmill ergometer at a fixed speed wearing either sneakers or leather-soled shoes, and (4) cycle on a bicycle ergometer. There were strong linear relationships between the measurements during the progressively graded treadmill test, with an overall Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.97. The mean estimated difference ranged from -0.77 to 0.27 kcal/min and the coefficients of variation from 13.2% to 22.2%. However, the difference between the methods was not negligible for individual subjects. Accelerometry overestimated energy expenditure during short-step walking, and underestimated it during long-step walking. No significant difference in energy expenditure was found according to the type of shoes worn. Cycling activity was not recorded by accelerometry. Accelerometry is a reasonably accurate and feasible method for evaluating the physical activities of non-athletes, and could be a common tool for epidemiological research and health promotion despite its limitations.
