| Popis: | Some patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy experience postprandial exacerbation of symptoms. The aim of this study was to determine whether the hemodynamic and/or hormonal responses to a meal differ between patients with and without postprandial symptoms. Ten hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients with postprandial symptoms, 10 patients without postprandial symptoms, and 10 normal subjects ate a 740 Kcal meal, following which heart rate, blood pressure, and echocardiographic and gastrointestinal hormone changes were compared among the three groups. Heart rate increased (p < 0.001) and diastolic blood pressure fell (p < 0.001) to a similar degree in the three groups. Left ventricular outflow tract velocity increased (p < 0.01) and some patients had substantial increases in outflow tract pressure gradient; however, this was independent of the presence or absence of postprandial symptoms. The atrial contribution to filling increased in normal subjects and in both groups of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients. There was no significant difference in the gastrointestinal hormone changes in the three groups. In summary, there is no evidence for a distinctive hemodynamic or hormonal response to food in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients with postprandial symptoms. These symptoms more likely reflect differences in underlying cardiac disease characteristics and severity. |
