The effect of acute allograft rejection on exercise hemodynamics was evaluated in 8 consecutive cardiac allograft recipients (group 1) when the right ventricular endomyocardial biopsy showed evidence of allograft rejection (R), and when no evidence of rejection (NR) was present. A separate group of 10 cardiac transplant recipients (group 2) with no evidence of rejection on biopsy done at the end of the first and second year post-transplantation served as controls. The exercise hemodynamics were abnormal in both groups in both studies with a moderate increase of the pulmonary artery wedge pressure to a mean of 17.2 (NR) and 19.4 mm Hg (R) in group 1 (p = not significant [NS]) and 20.1 and 21.2 mm Hg in group 2 (p = NS), a mild increase of the mean right atrial pressure to a mean of 10 mm Hg (NR) and 10 mm Hg (R) in group 1 (p = NS), 11.9 mm Hg and 12.5 mm Hg in group 2 (p = NS), and a moderate increase of the arteriovenous oxygen content difference to a mean of 8.5 (NR) and 8.4 vol percent (R) in group 1 and 8.3 and 8.0 vol percent in group 2. No significant difference was observed between the two studies of the same group in any of the hemodynamic parameters except for the heart rate in group 1 (from 91 +/- 16 to 97 +/- 16 beats/min [p < 0.05] with and without evidence of allograft rejection, respectively). In conclusion, heart transplant recipients do not usually manifest further exercise hemodynamic deterioration during mild to moderate rejection.
