People born preterm (<37 weeks' gestation) have a potentially adverse cardiac phenotype that progresses with blood pressure elevation.
The authors investigated whether preterm-born and term-born adults exhibit similar cardiac structural and functional remodeling following a 16-week aerobic exercise intervention.
We conducted a randomized controlled trial in 203 adults (aged 18-35 years) with elevated blood pressure or stage 1 hypertension. Participants were randomized 1:1 to a 16-week aerobic exercise intervention or to a control group. In a prespecified cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) substudy, CMR was performed at 3.0-Tesla to assess left and right ventricular (LV and RV) structure and function before and after intervention.
A total of 100 participants completed CMR scans at baseline and after the 16-week intervention, with n = 47 in the exercise intervention group (n = 26 term-born; n = 21 preterm-born) and n = 53 controls (n = 32 term-born; n = 21 preterm-born). In term-born participants, LV mass to end-diastolic volume ratio decreased (-3.43; 95% CI: -6.29 to -0.56; interaction P = 0.027) and RV stroke volume index increased (5.53 mL/m; 95% CI: 2.60, 8.47; interaction P = 0.076) for those in the exercise intervention group vs controls. No significant effects were observed for cardiac structural indices in preterm-born participants. In preterm-born participants, LV basal- and mid-ventricular circumferential strain increased (-1.33; 95% CI: -2.07 to -0.60; interaction P = 0.057 and -1.54; 95% CI: -2.46 to -0.63; interaction P = 0.046, respectively) and RV global longitudinal strain increased (1.99%; 95% CI: -3.12 to -0.87; interaction P = 0.053) in the exercise intervention group vs controls. No significant effects were observed for myocardial deformation parameters in term-born participants.
Aerobic exercise training induces improved myocardial function but not cardiac structure in preterm-born adults.
早产(妊娠<37周)出生的人具有潜在的不良心脏表型,且会随着血压升高而进展。
作者调查了早产和足月出生的成年人在进行16周有氧运动干预后,是否表现出相似的心脏结构和功能重塑。
我们对203名血压升高或患有1期高血压的成年人(年龄18 - 35岁)进行了一项随机对照试验。参与者按1:1随机分为16周有氧运动干预组或对照组。在一项预先指定的心血管磁共振成像(CMR)子研究中,使用3.0特斯拉磁共振成像评估干预前后左、右心室(LV和RV)的结构和功能。
共有100名参与者在基线和16周干预后完成了CMR扫描,其中运动干预组47人(足月出生26人;早产出生21人),对照组53人(足月出生32人;早产出生21人)。在足月出生的参与者中,运动干预组与对照组相比,左心室质量与舒张末期容积比降低(-3.43;95%CI:-6.29至-0.56;交互作用P = 0.027),右心室每搏输出量指数增加(5.53 mL/m;95%CI:2.60,8.47;交互作用P = 0.076)。在早产出生的参与者中,未观察到心脏结构指标有显著变化。在早产出生的参与者中,运动干预组与对照组相比,左心室基底和中间圆周应变增加(-1.33;95%CI:-2.07至-0.60;交互作用P = 0.057和-1.54;95%CI:-2.46至-0.63;交互作用P = 0.046),右心室整体纵向应变增加(1.99%;95%CI:-3.12至-0.87;交互作用P = 0.053)。在足月出生的参与者中,未观察到心肌变形参数有显著变化。
有氧运动训练可改善早产成年人的心肌功能,但对心脏结构无影响。
