冠動脈疾患(CAD)において,臨床的に重要な点は,重症度を判定し,各症例に応じた適切な医療を行うことにある。トレッドミル運動負荷試験法(T試験と略)は,CADの診断のみならず,冠予備能をも非侵襲的に予知できるといわれている1〜4)。
近年,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の報告があり1〜3),注目されている。しかし,彼らの方法によるとspecificityは極めて高い反面,sensitivi—ty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。
Systolic blood pressure (SBP) response during submaximal treadmill exercise (T) test was inves-tigated for detecting presence and severity of an-gina pectoris (AP) in 117 patients (99 males and 18 females) with definite or suspected AP. The subjects were divided into three groups according to the degree of SBP response ; poor responder (ΔSBP≦25mmHg) as Group (A), moderate re-sponder (25<ΔSBP <60mmHg) as Group (B), and marked responder (ΔSBP≧60mmHg) as Group (C).
The following results were obtained. 1. Group (A) consisted of 18 patients, Group (B) and (C) of 57 and 42, respectively. 2. In 11 (77.8%) of Group (A), T test was interrupted by angina pain and/or ST depression of more than 2mm (marked ST depression), whereas 27 (6-1.3%) of Group (C) by achieved target heart rate. 3. Sixteen (88.9%) of Group (A) had effort AP with significant coro-nary artery stenosis (more than 50%), whereas 16 (38.1%) of Group (C) had vasospastic angina (0-vessel disease), and 16 (38.1%) had no cardiovas-cular diseases. 4. Of the 86 patients with AP, 12 (75.0%) of 16 in Group (A) had multi-vessel disease, whereas 25 (96.2%) of 26 in Group (C) had 0 or 1-vessel disease. 5. For detection of multi-vessel disease, the sensitivity of poor responder was 46.2%. It was identical to that of marked ST de-pression (42.3%), and the specificity was 93.4% and 87.9%, respectively. 6. Eight of Group (A) underwent coronary artery bypass surgery. At six-month follow-up, T time increased from 4.4 to 6.6 minutes, and ΔSBP increased from 19.0 to 54.0 mmHg (p<0.05).
In conclusion, the poor SBP response (ΔSBP≦25mmHg) induced by T test may be one of the valuable parameters for detecting severe AP with multi-vessel disease. The marked SBP response (ΔSBP≧60mmHg), on the other hand, may be an indicator in identifying mild AP with 0 or 1-vessel disease and chest pain syndrome without cardiovas-cular diseases.
