Abstract

It is generally accepted that upright posture decreases preload and afterload, which could alter left ventricular (LV) performance. It is not known if changes occurring with acute standing persist after prolonged ambulatory activity (amb-act). In seven normal subjects echocardiographic end-diastolic and end-systolic diameters, percent shortening of the internal diameter (% delta D) and end-systolic wall stress (ES-WS), radionuclide diastolic volume and ejection fraction, preejection period over left ventricular ejection time (PEP/LVET), and diastolic time and QT-QS2 were measured supine, within 1 to 2 minutes after standing and after prolonged (60 minutes) amb-act. In addition, serial measurements were performed in PEP/LVET for 105 minutes at 15-minute intervals. With acute standing, end-diastolic diameter, diastolic volume, and ES-WS decreased (p less than 0.01); heart rate and PEP/LVET increased (p less than 0.01); while % delta D and ejection fraction remained unchanged. There was an inverse correlation between change in PEP/LVET and diastolic diameter (r = -0.59), but no correlation between PEP/LVET and ES-WS. The diastolic time per beat and per minute decreased (375 +/- 115 msec from 519 +/- 176 msec [p less than 0.01] and 31.3 +/- 4.2 sec/min from 33.7 +/- 4.5 sec/min [p less than 0.01]). The QT-QS2 increased when compared to supine (-7 +/- 7.6 msec from -22 +/- 7.7 msec [p less than 0.005]), but the QT-QS2 relationship remained normal (QT less than or equal to QS2). All the dynamic changes that occurred with acute standing tended to persist during prolonged amb-act.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
