Warm-up phenomenon in angina pectoris.

M D Jaffe, N K Quinn

    Lancet (London, England)
    |November 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    The warm-up phenomenon, observed in exercise tests, shows reduced ischemia in a second test due to increased coronary blood flow, not decreased myocardial oxygen consumption. This finding is consistent across various exercise protocols.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Exercise Physiology

    Background:

    • The warm-up phenomenon describes reduced ischemia during a second exercise test compared to the first.
    • Understanding the mechanisms behind this phenomenon is crucial for interpreting exercise test results.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate whether the warm-up phenomenon results from decreased myocardial oxygen consumption or increased coronary artery blood flow.
    • To determine the underlying physiological basis of the warm-up phenomenon.

    Main Methods:

    • Patients underwent an initial exercise test.
    • Following a 30-minute exercise period and a 20-minute rest, a second, identical exercise test was performed.
    • Electrocardiographic evidence of ischemia and rate-pressure products were analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • A significant reduction in ischemic evidence was observed in the second test for both bicycle ergometry (95%) and modified two-step tests (75%).
    • Rate-pressure products indicated that reduced myocardial oxygen consumption was not the cause of lessened ischemia.
    • The findings suggest increased coronary blood flow is responsible for the warm-up phenomenon.

    Conclusions:

    • The warm-up phenomenon is likely caused by enhanced coronary artery blood flow during exercise.
    • This phenomenon can be reliably induced in most patients experiencing exercise-induced ischemia.
