Abstrakt: Objectives: Autonomic dysfunction (AD) and dynamic hyperinflation (DH) have been implicated as pathophysiological mechanisms of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD) patients. Their association, however, remains elusive: The aims of the study were: (1) to determine the prevalence of AD and DH in non-severe COPD patients, with exertional dyspnea, without clinically overt cardio-vascular (CV) comorbidities; (2) to analyze the correlation and clinical significance between DH, AD, and maksed HFpEF.
Methods: We applied CPET in 68 subjects. Echocardiography was performed before CPET and 1-2 min after peak exercise. IC manoeuvres were applied. Patients were divided into two groups: patients with and without masked HFpEF. Wilkoff method calculated the meatabolic - chronotropic relationship (MCR). Chronotropic incompetence (CI) and abnormal HR recovery (HRR) were determined.
Results: The prevalence of CI was 77 vs. 52% in patients with/without masked HFpEF; of abnormal HRR - 98 vs. 62% respectively; of DH - 53 vs. 29%. ICdyn was associated with AD. Univariate regression showed association between masked HFpEF, ICdyn, HRR, oxygenuptake ('VO 2 ), 'VO 2 at anaerobic threshold, oxygen (O 2 ) pulse and 'VE/'VCO 2 slope. None of these parameters is an independent predictor for masked HFpEF.
Conclusions: DH, AD, and masked HFpEF are prevalent in non-severe COPD patients, who complain of exertional dyspnea and are free of clinically overt CV comorbidities. DH is independently associated with AD. Neither AD, nor DH and CPET are independent predictors for masked HFpEF.
