Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) generally shows increased systolic function of the left ventricle at rest, although patients with HCM often have decreased exercise tolerance and develop dyspnea or chest pain. The present study was to investigate of left ventricular (LV) function during exercise in 26 patients with HCM using Tc-99m equilibrium angiocardiography, and to elucidate the mechanism of impaired functional reserve during exercise. Controls consisted of 11 normal volunteers and 12 patients with chest pain syndrome who had no abnormality on coronary arteriography or left ventriculography. In patients with HCM, LV ejection fraction decreased from 65 +/- 8 (mean +/- SD)% at rest to 59 +/- 18% at peak exercise, in contrast to an increase among controls (from 56 +/- 9% to 64 +/- 9%). As compared with resting values, cardiac output increased to 168 +/- 24% at peak exercise in HCM, but the increase was significantly less than that in controls (215 +/- 47%). Stroke volume decreased gradually to 83 +/- 16% during exercise in HCM, while it increased to 114 +/- 10% at an exercise level of half intensity, and it decreased slightly to 106 +/- 16% at peak exercise. LV end-systolic volume decreased among controls to 78 +/- 27% at peak exercise, but remained unchanged in HCM (118 +/- 58%). An increase in peak ejection rate at peak exercise was less in HCM than in controls (143 +/- 26% vs 170 +/- 42%). No significant differences were observed between the two groups concerning changes in indices of LV diastolic function including LV end-diastolic volume, peak filling rate or 1/3 filling rate during exercise. In the analysis of LV function curves, pulmonary arterial diastolic pressure increased to a greater extent in HCM than in controls (19 +/- 6 mmHg vs 11 +/- 6 mmHg); whereas, an increase in the stroke work index was less in HCM (80 +/- 26 g.m/m2/beat vs 121 +/- 21 g.m/m2/beat) at peak exercise. Thus, the LV function curve shifted downward and to the right in patients with HCM. The above findings indicate that LV functional reserve during exercise is impaired, especially as to systolic function in patients with HCM, while deterioration of diastolic function may be partly compromised by elevated filling pressure.
