Pulmonary Hypertension Clinical Trial
Official title:
Exercise-induced Pulmonary Hypertension in Patients With Sickle-cell Anemia: an Echocardiographic Study.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) at rest is a risk factor for death in patients with sickle-cell anemia (SCA). Exercise echocardiography (EE) can detect latent PH. We sought to investigate the occurrence of exercise-induced PH in patients with SCA and normal pulmonary pressure (PP) at rest, and its relationship with clinical and echocardiographic variables.Forty-four patients with SCA and normal PP at rest were studied and divided into two groups: exhibiting normal PP after treadmill EE (TRV≤2.7m/s) (G1), and exhibiting exercise-induced PH (TRV>2.7m/s) (G2). TRV cutoff points at rest and during exercise were based on data from healthy control subjects, matched for age, sex, and body surface area. Data obtained from EE were correlated with clinical, echocardiographic and ergometric variables.Exercise-induced PH occurred in 57% of the sample (G2), significantly higher than those of G1. Exercise-induced PH was related to higher levels of creatinine (p<0.05), increased left atrial volume (p<0.05) and right ventricular diastolic area (p<0.05), larger E/Em waves ratio derived from spectral and tissue Doppler (p<0.05), and higher TRV at rest (p<0.005).We concluded that patients with SCA and normal PP at rest may exhibit exercise-induced PH, which was related to renal function, increased cardiac chambers, abnormal indices of diastolic function and baseline TRV levels.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) at rest is a risk factor for death in patients with sickle-cell anemia (SCA). Exercise echocardiography (EE) can detect latent PH. We sought to investigate the occurrence of exercise-induced PH in patients with SCA and normal pulmonary pressure (PP) at rest, and its relationship with clinical and echocardiographic variables.Forty-four patients (22 men, mean age 25 y.o.) with SCA and normal PP at rest (tricuspid regurgitant jet flow velocity [TRV] <2.5 m/s) were studied and divided into two groups: exhibiting normal PP after treadmill EE (TRV≤2.7m/s) (G1), and exhibiting exercise-induced PH (TRV>2.7m/s) (G2). TRV cutoff points at rest and during exercise were based on data from healthy control subjects, matched for age, sex, and body surface area. Data obtained from EE were correlated with clinical, echocardiographic and ergometric variables.Exercise-induced PH occurred in 57% of the sample (G2), with mean TRV level of 3.4±0.4 m/s (range 2.8 - 4.5m/s), significantly higher than those of G1 (2.5±0.3 m/s, p<0.001). Exercise-induced PH was related to higher levels of creatinine (p<0.05), increased left atrial volume (p<0.05) and right ventricular diastolic area (p<0.05), larger E/Em waves ratio derived from spectral and tissue Doppler (p<0.05), and higher TRV at rest (p<0.005).We concluded that patients with SCA and normal PP at rest may exhibit exercise-induced PH, which was related to renal function, increased cardiac chambers, abnormal indices of diastolic function and baseline TRV levels. The clinical meaning of these findings requires clarification in future studies. ;
