Obesity-Related Biomarkers Are Associated With Exercise Intolerance and HFpEF

Circulation: Heart Failure

We defined HFpEF based on the presence of elevated left ventricular filling pressures at rest or during exercise. Fasting blood samples collected at the time of the cardiopulmonary exercise test were used to assay obesity-related biomarkers. mL/kg per min lower peak VO2(β, −2.35±0.19;P<0.001). for all).

Non-ischemic phenotypes of low-risk chest pain patients based on exercise stress echocardiography: a pilot study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

We aimed to identify non-ischemic phenotypes in low-risk NSTE-ACS patients by analyzing a wide range of parameters available during exercise SE.MethodsInpatients [n=103, median age 56 (4665)years, 65 (63%) men] with suspected NSTE-ACS without high-risk criteria underwent exercise SE using a semi-supine cycle ergometer.

Investigators identify novel plasma proteins linked to future risk of hypertension

Medical Xpress - Cardiology

Exercise testing can serve as a powerful physiologic probe to unmask subclinical cardiovascular abnormalities well before disease onset. For example, blood pressure changes during exercise (EBP) can reveal a latent tendency toward future development of hypertension.

Hemodynamics of Exercise-Induced Hypertension and Relationship to Outcomes in Adults With Coarctation of the Aorta

Circulation: Heart Failure

EIH was defined as systolic blood pressure (BP) at peak exercise >210 mm Hg in men or >190 mm Hg in women.RESULTS:In this prospective cohort study, we assessed patients with COA (n=41, age 4314 years, 26 [63%] men) and healthy controls (n=41).

Early Renal Denervation Attenuates Cardiac Dysfunction in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundThe renal sympathetic nervous system modulates systemic blood pressure, cardiac performance, and renal function. In addition, renal injury, oxidative stress, inflammation, and profibrotic biomarkers were evaluated to determine pathways associated with RDN.

Physiology Friday #230: Cutting Sugar vs. Cutting Carbs for Cardiometabolic Health

Physiologically Speaking

So rather than investigate how specific nutrients affect health biomarkers, there’s a growing interest in how restricting or supplying these nutrients might affect physical activity and energy expenditure, key factors in overall health. It’s also important to acknowledge that each of us respond to nutrients and food differently.

Physiology Friday #211: Morning vs. Evening Exercise for Blood Pressure and Autonomic Nervous System Health

Physiologically Speaking

There’s a surge in research devoted to finding the best time to exercise. In a new study, evening exercise, but not morning exercise, reduced blood pressure, lowered sympathetic activity, and improved baroreflex sensitivity in a group of adults with treated hypertension.
