肥大型心筋症(HCM)患者では,心機能障害のため運動時に何らかの症状が生じ得る.一方,運動耐容能の客観的評価に呼気ガス分析による最高酸素摂取量(peak VO2),嫌気性代謝閾値(AT)などが有用である.本検討では,HCM患者25例(無症候群12例,有症候群13例),健常人13例を対象にpeak VO2,AT,さらに呼吸性代償開始点(RCP)の有用性について検討した.健常群と無症候HCM群間のpeak VO2,AT時のVO2(VO2AT),RCP時のVO2(VO2RCP)はいずれも差がなかった.健常群と有症候HCM群間のVO2ATは差はなかったが,peak VO2,VO2RCPは有症候HCM群で低下していた.peak VO2は,VO2ATと良好な相関を示したが,VO2RCPとはより強い相関を示した.無症状のHCM患者の運動耐容能は比較的保たれていたが,労作時息切れなどの症状を有するHCM患者の運動耐容能は低下しており,その評価にRCPが有用であった.
A patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) can develop subjective symptoms on exercise because of cardiac dysfunction. Parameters such as peak oxygen uptake (peak VO2) and anaerobic threshold (AT) obtained by gas exchange analysis have been useful in objectively evaluating exercise tolerance. hi this study, we evaluated the usefulness of peak VO2, AT and a respiratory compensation point (RCP) in 25 patients with HCM (12 asymptomatic and 13 symptomatic) and 13 healthy volunteers.
There were no differences in peak VO2, VO2 level at AT (VO2AT) or VO2 level at RCP (O2RCP) between healthy volunteers and the patients with asymptomatic HCM. There were also no differences in VO2AT between the healthy volunteers and the patients with symptomatic HCM, but peak VO2 and VO2RCP, in the symptomatic HCM group were lower than those of healthy volunteers and the patients with asymptomatic HCM. Peak VO2, had a stronger positive correlation with VO2RCP, than with . VO2AT.
Exercise tolerance was maintained relatively well in patients with asymptomatic HCM, but decreased in HCM patients showing symptoms such as shortness of breath on exertion, suggesting the usefulness of RCP in objectively evaluating exercise tolerance.
