Cumulative exercise-induced left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

The phenomenon of cumulative exercise-induced left ventricular function impairment was studied in 40 patients with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with resting normal left ventricular function and no increase in ejection fraction on exercise. All patients underwent two symptom-limited exercise tests one-hour apart. Cumulative myocardial dysfunction was seen in 13 patients (group I) but not in the remaining 27 patients (group II). During follow-up, group I showed more commonly than group II a deterioration in symptoms (67% vs 22%, P=0.025) and left ventricular function (50% vs 9%, P=0.019). In conclusion, cumulative exercise-induced myocardial dysfunction can occur in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and may be associated with clinical deterioration and worse outcome.

Amino-terminal propeptide of type III procollagen is associated with restrictive mitral filling pattern in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy: a possible link between diastolic dysfunction and prognosis.

OBJECTIVE: To analyse the relation between restrictive mitral pattern, amino-terminal propeptide of type III procollagen (PIIINP), and prognosis in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study of 106 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. SETTING: Tertiary care centre. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: PIIINP concentration, echocardiographic variables, oxygen consumption, hospitalisation for heart failure, and cardiac mortality were evaluated in patients grouped by the presence of non-restrictive (group 1), reversible (group 2), and irreversible restrictive mitral pattern (group 3). RESULTS: Groups differed regarding left ventricular ejection fraction (group 1, mean (SD) 36 (6)%, group 2, 29 (8)%, group 3, 25 (6)%; p = 0.0001), left atrial ejection fraction (group 1, 0.47 (0.1)%, group 2, 0.43 (0.2)%, group 3, 0.26 (0.1)%; p < 0.0001), and PIIINP (p = 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that PIIINP was related to mitral pattern (odds ratio 0.8, 95% confidence interval 0.23 to 1.4, p = 0.006) independently of left atrial and ventricular ejection fractions. After 21 months, survival was 88% and 34% (p = 0.0001) in patients with non-restrictive and irreversible restrictive mitral patterns, respectively. CONCLUSION: In patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, restrictive mitral pattern is associated with higher PIIINP and worse prognosis.

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus model rats.

To gain insight into the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy, we investigated cardiac function in terms of the coupling of left ventricular mechanical work and the energetics in Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty rats, which are well known as a model of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Neither left ventricular systolic function and mean coronary flow nor coronary flow reserve differed even in late DM rats. The amount of oxygen required for mechanical work and contraction was unaltered, although myosin isozyme was finally transformed from V(1) to V(3). The maximum pacing rate was decreased from 300 to 240 beats/min, and the left ventricular relaxation rate was significantly (P < 0.05) slower only in late DM rats, resulting in decreased oxygen consumption per minute for total Ca(2+) handling in excitation-contraction coupling mainly consumed by sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA2) without significant changes in basal metabolism or in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. The protein level of SERCA2 in membranes was significantly (P < 0.001) lower in severe DM rats. We conclude that the only lusitropic dysfunction due to the depressed expression of SERCA2 is related to generating diabetic cardiomyopathy even in the present type 2 diabetic rats.
