Abstract

Background: Respiratory muscle unloading through proportional assist ventilation (PAV) may enhance leg oxygen delivery, thereby speeding off-exercise oxygen uptake ((V)over dotO(2)) kinetics in patients with heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF). Methods: Ten male patients (HFrEF = 26 +/- 9%, age 50 +/- 13 years, and body mass index 25 +/- 3 kg m(2)) underwent two constant work rate tests at 80% peak of maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test to tolerance under PAV and sham ventilation. Post-exercise kinetics of (V)over dotO(2), vastus lateralis deoxyhemoglobin ({[}deoxy-Hb + Mb]) by near-infrared spectroscopy, and cardiac output (Q(T)) by impedance cardiography were assessed. Results: PAV prolonged exercise tolerance compared with sham (587 +/- 390 s vs. 444 +/- 296 s, respectively; p = 0.01). PAV significantly accelerated (V)over dotO(2) recovery (tau = 56 +/- 22 s vs. 77 +/- 42 s; p < 0.05), being associated with a faster decline in Delta{[}deoxy-Hb + Mb] and Q(T) compared with sham (tau = 31 +/- 19 s vs. 42 +/- 22 s and 39 +/- 22 s vs. 78 +/- 46 s, p < 0.05). Faster off-exercise decrease in Q(T) with PAV was related to longer exercise duration (r = -0.76; p < 0.05). Conclusion: PAV accelerates the recovery of central hemodynamics and muscle oxygenation in HFrEF. These beneficial effects might prove useful to improve the tolerance to repeated exercise during cardiac rehabilitation. (AU)
