CIRCULATION , 2002, vol. 106, n° 11, p. 1342-1348 Doc n°: 107047 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : FA34 - PATHOLOGIE VALVULAIRE, AF21 - ACCIDENTS VASCULAIRES CEREBRAUX Functional mitral regurgitation (MR) is common in patients with heart failure and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, and its severity may vary over time, depending primarily on the loading conditions. Because dynamic changes in the severity of functional MR may affect forward stroke volume, we hypothesized that exercise-induced changes in MR severity influence the stroke volume response of patients with LV dysfunction to exercise, and hence their exercise capacity. Methods and Results-Heart failure patients (n = 25; mean age 53 +/- 12 years) with LV dysfunction underwent dynamic bicycle exercise at steady-state levels of 30%, 60%, and 90% of predetermined peak (V)over dot O-2. During each exercise level, right heart pressures, cardiac Output, (V)over dot O-2, and MR severity were measured simultaneously. During exercise, MR severity, as evaluated by the ratio of MR jet over left atrium area, increased from 15 +/- 8% to 33 +/- 15%. Peak (V)over dot O-2, exercise-induced changes in stroke volume, and those in capillary wedge pressure correlated with the changes in MR (r = -0.55, -0.87, and 0.62, respectively, P < 0.01). The changes in TAR severity also correlated with those in end-diastolic (r = -0.75, P < 0.01) and end-systolic (r = -0.72, P < 0.01) sphericity indexes and those in the coaptation distance (r = 0.86, P < 0.01). Conclusions-Our data indicate that in patients with LV dysfunction, exercise-induced changes in MR severity limit the stroke volume adaptation during exercise and therefore contribute to limitation of exercise capacity.
