The impact of high-intensity interval training on ventricular remodeling in patients with a recent acute myocardial infarction-A randomized training intervention pilot study.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Aerobic exercise training is associated with beneficial ventricular remodeling and an improvement in cardiac biomarkers in chronic stable heart failure. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a time-efficient method to improve V ˙ O 2 peak in stable coronary heart disease patients. This pilot study aimed to compare the effect of HIIT on ventricular remodeling in patients with a recent acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Methods

Nineteen post-AMI patients were randomized to either HIIT (n = 9) or usual care (n = 10). A cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), transthoracic echocardiography, and cardiac biomarker assessment (ie, N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide levels and G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 expression) were performed before and after a 12-week training intervention. CPET parameters including oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) and V ˙ O 2 at the first ventilatory threshold ( V ˙ O 2 VT1) were calculated. left ventricular (LV) structural and functional echocardiographic parameters including myocardial strain imaging were assessed.

Results

V ˙ O 2 peak and OUES improved solely in the HIIT group (P < .05 for group/time, respectively). There was a significant training effect for the improvement of peak work load in both groups (P < .05). O2 pulse and V ˙ O 2 at VT1 both improved only in the HIIT group (P < .05 for time, no interaction). HIIT improved radial strain and pulsed-wave tissue Doppler imaging derived e' (P < .05 for time, no interaction). Cardiac biomarkers did not change in either group.

Conclusions

In post-AMI patients, HIIT lead to significant improvements in prognostic CPET parameters compared to usual care. HIIT was associated with favorable ventricular remodeling regarding certain echocardiographic parameters of LV function.
