    Mild hypertension impairs systolic left ventricular function during exercise, leading to reduced ejection fraction and stroke volume. This indicates early cardiac stress in hypertensive individuals even without other cardiovascular disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Cardiovascular Physiology
    • Hypertension Research

    Background:

    • Mild-to-moderate diastolic blood pressure elevations can affect cardiac function.
    • Systolic left ventricular (LV) function is a key indicator of cardiac health.
    • Understanding exercise-induced changes in LV function is crucial for managing hypertension.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of mild-to-moderate hypertension on systolic left ventricular (LV) function during upright exercise.
    • To compare LV function in hypertensive patients versus normal subjects under exercise stress.
    • To identify subgroups of hypertensive patients with varying responses in LV ejection fraction (EF) during exercise.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized upright exercise first-pass radionuclide angiography in 28 hypertensive patients and 20 normal subjects.

  • Assessed resting and exercise LV function, including end-systolic volume and ejection fraction (EF).
  • Categorized hypertensive patients into three groups based on EF change during exercise.

    • Main Results:

    • Hypertensive patients exhibited significantly greater end-systolic volume and lower ejection fraction (EF), stroke volume, and peak oxygen uptake during exercise compared to controls.
    • Subgroup analysis revealed that patients with a decrease in EF during exercise (Group 3) were older and had lower peak oxygen uptake.
    • Exercise-induced changes in LV function, specifically higher end-systolic volumes, were observed in hypertensive subgroups with minimal or decreased EF response.

    Conclusions:

    • Mild-to-moderate hypertension is associated with impaired systolic left ventricular (LV) function during exercise, even in asymptomatic individuals without other cardiac abnormalities.
    • Exercise radionuclide angiography can reveal subtle deficits in LV systolic performance in hypertensive patients.
    • A subset of hypertensive patients demonstrates a reduced or declining ejection fraction (EF) during exercise, suggesting a more compromised cardiac response.
