RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Exercise intolerance in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) results from both cardiac dysfunction and skeletal muscle weakness. Respiratory muscle dysfunction with restrictive ventilation disorder may be present irrespective of left ventricular ejection fraction and might be mediated by circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines. OBJECTIVE: To determine lung and respiratory muscle function in patients with HFrEF/HFpEF and to determine its associations with exercise intolerance and markers of systemic inflammation. METHODS: Adult patients with HFrEF (n = 22, 19 male, 61 ± 14 years) and HFpEF (n = 8, 7 male, 68 ± 8 years) and 19 matched healthy control subjects underwent spirometry, measurement of maximum mouth occlusion pressures, diaphragm ultrasound, and recording of transdiaphragmatic and gastric pressures following magnetic stimulation of the phrenic nerves and the lower thoracic nerve roots. New York Heart Association (NYHA) class and 6-min walking distance (6MWD) were used to quantify exercise intolerance. Levels of circulating interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were measured using ELISAs. RESULTS: Compared with controls, both patient groups showed lower forced vital capacity (FVC) (p < 0.05), maximum inspiratory pressure (PImax), maximum expiratory pressure (PEmax) (p < 0.05), diaphragm thickening ratio (p = 0.01), and diaphragm strength (twitch transdiaphragmatic pressure in response to supramaximal cervical magnetic phrenic nerve stimulation) (p = 0.01). In patients with HFrEF, NYHA class and 6MWD were both inversely correlated with FVC, PImax, and PEmax. In those with HFpEF, there was an inverse correlation between amino terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide levels and FVC (r = -0.77, p = 0.04). In all HF patients, IL-6 and TNF-α were statistically related to FVC. CONCLUSIONS: Irrespective of left ventricular ejection fraction, HF is associated with respiratory muscle dysfunction, which is associated with increased levels of circulating IL-6 and TNF-α.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: In lung transplant recipients (LTRs), restrictive ventilation disorder may be present due to respiratory muscle dysfunction that may reduce exercise capacity. This might be mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). OBJECTIVE: We investigated lung respiratory muscle function as well as circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines and exercise capacity in LTRs. METHODS: Fifteen LTRs (6 female, age 56 ± 14 years, 63 ± 45 months post-transplantation) and 15 healthy controls matched for age, sex, and body mass index underwent spirometry, measurement of mouth occlusion pressures, diaphragm ultrasound, and recording of twitch transdiaphragmatic (twPdi) and gastric pressures (twPgas) following magnetic stimulation of the phrenic nerves and the lower thoracic nerve roots. Exercise capacity was quantified using the 6-min walking distance (6MWD). Plasma IL-6 and TNF-α were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. RESULTS: Compared with controls, patients had lower values for forced vital capacity (FVC; 81 ± 30 vs.109 ± 18% predicted, p = 0.01), maximum expiratory pressure (100 ± 21 vs.127 ± 17 cm H2O, p = 0.04), diaphragm thickening ratio (2.2 ± 0.4 vs. 3.0 ± 1.1, p = 0.01), and twPdi (10.4 ± 3.5 vs. 17.6 ± 6.7 cm H2O, p = 0.01). In LTRs, elevation of TNF-α was related to lung function (13 ± 3 vs. 11 ± 2 pg/mL in patients with FVC ≤80 vs. >80% predicted; p < 0.05), and lung function (forced expiratory volume after 1 s) was closely associated with diaphragm thickening ratio (r = 0.81; p < 0.01) and 6MWD (r = 0.63; p = 0.02). CONCLUSION: There is marked restrictive ventilation disorder and respiratory muscle weakness in LTRs, especially inspiratory muscle weakness with diaphragm dysfunction. Lung function impairment relates to elevated levels of circulating TNF-α and diaphragm dysfunction and is associated with exercise intolerance.
