Hyperventilation and consequent reduction of ventilation (VE) efficiency are frequently observed during exercise in heart failure (HF) patients, resulting in an increased slope of VE/carbon dioxide (VE/Vco(2)) relationship. The latter is an independent predictor of HF prognosis. beta-Blockers improve the prognosis of HF patients. We evaluated the effect on the efficiency of VE of a beta(1)-beta(2) unselective (carvedilol) versus a beta(1) selective (bisoprolol) beta-blocker.
We analyzed consecutive maximal cardiopulmonary exercise tests performed on 572 clinically stable HF patients (New York Heart Association class I-III, left ventricle ejection fraction < or =50%) categorized in 3 groups: 81 were not treated with beta-blocker, 304 were treated with carvedilol, and 187 were treated with bisoprolol. Clinical conditions were similar.
The VE/Vco(2) slope was lower in carvedilol- compared with bisoprolol-treated patients (29.7 +/- 0.4 vs 31.6 +/- 0.5, P = .023, peak oxygen consumption adjusted) and with patients not receiving beta-blockers (31.6 +/- 0.7, P = .036). Maximum end-tidal CO(2) pressure during the isocapnic buffering period was higher in patients treated with carvedilol (39.0 +/- 0.3 mm Hg) than with bisoprolol (37.2 +/- 0.4 mm Hg, P < .001) and in patients not receiving beta-blockers (37.2 +/- 0.5 mm Hg, P = .001).
Reduction of hyperventilation, with improvement of VE efficiency during exercise (reduction of VE/Vco(2) slope and increase of maximum end-tidal CO(2) pressure), is specific to carvedilol (beta(1)-beta(2) unselective blocker) and not to bisoprolol (beta(1)-selective blocker).
在心力衰竭(HF)患者的运动过程中,常观察到过度通气和随之而来的通气(VE)效率降低,导致 VE/二氧化碳(VE/Vco(2))关系斜率增加。后者是 HF 预后的独立预测因子。β-受体阻滞剂改善 HF 患者的预后。我们评估了β1-β2 非选择性(卡维地洛)与β1 选择性(比索洛尔)β受体阻滞剂对 VE 效率的影响。
我们分析了 572 例临床稳定的 HF 患者连续进行的最大心肺运动测试,这些患者分为 3 组:81 例未接受β受体阻滞剂治疗,304 例接受卡维地洛治疗,187 例接受比索洛尔治疗。临床情况相似。
与比索洛尔治疗的患者(29.7±0.4 比 31.6±0.5,P=0.023,峰值氧耗调整)和未接受β受体阻滞剂治疗的患者(31.6±0.7,P=0.036)相比,卡维地洛治疗的患者 VE/Vco(2)斜率较低。在等碳酸缓冲期,卡维地洛治疗的患者最大呼气末 CO(2)压力较高(39.0±0.3 毫米汞柱),高于比索洛尔(37.2±0.4 毫米汞柱,P<0.001)和未接受β受体阻滞剂治疗的患者(37.2±0.5 毫米汞柱,P=0.001)。
在运动过程中,过度通气减少,VE 效率提高(VE/Vco(2)斜率降低和最大呼气末 CO(2)压力增加),这是卡维地洛(β1-β2 非选择性阻滞剂)特有的,而不是比索洛尔(β1 选择性阻滞剂)特有的。
