トレッドミル運動負荷試験(T試験と略)は,冠動脈疾患(CAD)の診断,重症度判定,リハビリテーションをはじめ各種心疾患の運動予備能の把握などの目的で広く用いられている。
ThomsonとKelemenは,CADにおけるT試験中の収縮期血圧低下が,虚血性ST低下と同様にその重症度判定の指標になりうると報告している1)。その後,同様の成績がMorris2),Weiner3)らによって報告されているが,彼らの方法によるとspecificityはきわめて高い反面,sensitivityが低く,日常臨床上の指標としては利用価値が低いと思われた。
The significance of the poor systolic blood pressure (SBP) response (Δ SBP≦25mmHg) during submaximal treadmill exercise test was investigated in 532 patients (430 males and 102 females) with definite or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), arrhythmia and other cardiovascular abnormalities.
Eighty patients (64 males and 16 females) fulfilled criteria of the poor SBP response. Forty-three patients (53.8%) had CAD, 7 (8.8%) had cardiomyopathy, 3 (3.8%) had mitral valve prolapes (MVP) and 27 (33.3%) had no organic heart diseases.
In 19 CAD patients, treadmill exercise test was interrupted by angina pain and/or ST depression ≧2mm, and only 8 patients completed the exercis test. The poor SBP response was observed in 27 severe CAD such as angina pectoris (AP) with multi-vessel disease and anterior myocardial infarction (MI), while in quite a few (2) vasospastic angina and non-cardiac chest pain.
Ten of 34 young female patients without organic heart diseases who had the poor SBP response.
In conclusion, when subjects with cardiomyo-pathy, MVP and young women are excluded, the poor SBP response induced by treadmill exercise test may be one of the reliable indicators in identifying CAD with severely compromised left ventricular pump function such as AP with multi-vessel disease and MI.
