ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
This study intended to explore the relation between heart rate recovery at 1 minutes (HRR1) during the recovery phase of cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) and exercise capacity in female systemic lupus erythematosus associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (SLE-PAH) patients.METHODS:
Twenty-one female SLE-PAH patients underwent right heart catheterization (RHC), pulmonary function test (PFT) and CPET. Forty-two healthy subjects matched with SLE-PAH patients in age, sex and BMI were recruited as a control group. The correlations between HRR1 with clinical and CPET parameters were performed.RESULTS:
Peak HR, ΔHR, HRR1, Peak HR-warm HR1min , Peak HR-warm HR2min and CR were significantly lower in SLE-PAH than in controls (P < .01). Increased incidence of CRI was seen in SLE-PAH. Except for the Peak PET O2 , which was higher in controls, all other CPET parameters were lower in SLE-PAH. SLE-PAH patients with HRR1 ≥ 16 had longer 6MWD, lower NT-proBNP, better percent of predicted gas transfer index or diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLco% pred) as well as better CO and CI. Peak HR, ΔHR, HRR1, Peak HR-warm HR1min , Peak HR-warm HR2min , CR, Peak Load, Peak VO2 , Peak PET CO2 , OUEP and OUES were lower and duration of exercise was shorter in patients with HRR1 < 16. HRR1 had positive correlation with 6MWD, DLco% pred, CO, CI and some key CPET parameters.CONCLUSIONS:
HRR1 is an easily obtained auxiliary parameter in SLE-PAH patients to reflect an altered autonomic tone. SLE-PAH patients with HRR1 < 16 have more severe hemodynamics, worse clinical findings and marked oxygen uptake inefficiency than those with HRR1 ≥ 16.Palabras clave
