Exercise Capacity According to Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction and Body Composition

September 25, 2023 updated by: Seong-Mi Park, M.D. Ph.D., Korea University Anam Hospital

Differences in Cardiopulmonary Exercise Capacity According to Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction and Body Composition in Patients With Suspected Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

The correlation of coronary microvascular function and body composition with cardiopulmonary exercise capacity will be assessed in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

We will select the patients with chest pain or ischemic symptoms with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (<50% stenosis) in coronary angiography and preserved ejection fraction (≥50%) in echocardiography. All patients will undergo body composition analysis and adenosine stress echocardiography with the evaluation of coronary artery blood flow by Doppler echocardiography and maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) by cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure will be assessed during coronary angiography. Coronary flow reserve (CFR) is defined as the ratio of peak to baseline mean diastolic velocity of coronary blood flow. The correlation of CFR and body composition with cardiopulmonary exercise capacity will be assessed.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
Adenosine stress echocardiography, body composition, and cardiopulmonary exercise test will be done in all of the enrolled patients. Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure will be assessed during coronary angiography.

The color Doppler flow of distal left anterior descending artery will be examined from the modified apical four-chamber view in the anterior interventricular groove.

In regard to body composition analysis, Using InBody S10, impedance is measured in 6 frequency bands (1 kilohertz (kHz), 5 kHz, 50 kHz, 250 kHz, 500 kHz, 1000 kHz) for each of 5 parts (right plate, left arm, torso, right leg, left leg). Reactance is measured in 3 frequency bands (5 kHz, 50 kHz, 250 kHz for each of 5 parts (right arm, left arm, torso, right leg, left leg).

By treadmill exercise test with modified Bruce protocol or bicycle ergometer for patients with orthopedic problems, maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) will be measured using the exhalation gas analysis.

  • Body composition analysis
