Background A limited number of studies have investigated the effects of lifestyle interventions in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). This study evaluated the effect of a novel lifestyle intervention incorporating physical activity (PA) and dietary nitrate supplementation on heart rate variability (HRV) and haemodynamic measures in HCM.
Twenty-eight individuals with HCM were randomised into either the intervention or control group. Frequency-domain HRV measures including low frequency power (LF), high frequency power (HF) and LF/HF were recorded at rest using bioimpedance. Non-invasive haemodynamic variables were recorded at rest using bioreactance. Participants in the intervention group consumed 6 mmol of nitrate daily (concentrated beetroot juice) and were instructed to increase and maintain daily PA by ≥ 2000 steps/day above baseline for 16 weeks. Control group participants retained their usual lifestyle and monitored daily step counts.
There was a significant increase in post-intervention HF power (7.54 ± 2.14 vs 8.78 ± 1.60 ms, < .01) and LF power (6.89 ± 2.33 vs 8.17 ± 1.55, < .01) in the intervention but not in the control group. Resting mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) in the intervention group significantly reduced at follow-up (108 ± 6 vs 102 ± 7 mmHg, < .01).
A novel lifestyle intervention including PA and dietary nitrate supplementation enhanced parasympathetic activity and resting MABP in HCM.
背景 仅有少数研究调查了生活方式干预对肥厚型心肌病(HCM)的影响。本研究评估了一种结合体育活动(PA)和膳食硝酸盐补充的新型生活方式干预对HCM患者心率变异性(HRV)和血流动力学指标的影响。
28名HCM患者被随机分为干预组或对照组。使用生物阻抗在静息状态下记录频域HRV指标,包括低频功率(LF)、高频功率(HF)和LF/HF。使用生物反应技术在静息状态下记录无创血流动力学变量。干预组参与者每天摄入6 mmol硝酸盐(浓缩甜菜根汁),并被指示将每日PA增加并维持在比基线水平高≥2000步/天,持续16周。对照组参与者保持其通常的生活方式并监测每日步数。
干预组干预后HF功率显著增加(7.54±2.14对8.78±1.60 ms,P<.01)和LF功率显著增加(6.89±2.33对8.17±1.55,P<.01),而对照组未出现这种情况。干预组随访时静息平均动脉血压(MABP)显著降低(108±6对102±7 mmHg,P<.01)。
一种包括PA和膳食硝酸盐补充的新型生活方式干预增强了HCM患者的副交感神经活动和静息MABP。
