BACKGROUND

In patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), individualized exercise training (ET) programs are strongly recommended to optimize peak oxygen uptake ( O2peak) improvement and prognosis. However, the cardiac hemodynamic factors responsible for a positive response to training remain unclear. The aim of this study was to compare cardiac hemodynamic changes after an ET program in responder (R) versus non-responder (NR) CHD patients.

METHODS

A total of 72 CHD patients completed a 3-month ET program and were assessed by cycle ergometer cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET: O2peak assessment) with impedance cardiography (ICG) for hemodynamic measurements before and after training. Cardiac hemodynamics (e.g., CO, CI, SV, ESV, EDV, and SVR) were measured by ICG during CPET. The R and NR groups were classified using the median change in O2peak (>the median for R and ≤the median for NR).

RESULTS

In the R group, O2peak (+17%, p < 0.001), CO, CI, SV, and HR increased by 17%, 17%, 13%, and 5%, respectively (p < 0.05) after the training program. In the NR group, O2peak, CO, CI, and SV increased by 0.5%, 5%, 8%, and 6%, respectively (p < 0.01). The SVR decreased in both groups (-19% in R and -11% in NR, p < 0.001).

CONCLUSION

Among CHD patients, the R group showed a better improvement in peak cardiac output via an increase in peak stroke volume and heart rate and a reduced systemic vascular resistance than the NR group. Different cardiac phenotype adaptations and clinical individual responses were identified in CHD patients according to the aerobic fitness responder's status.
