P638High intensity interval exercise training improves endothelial function in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Abstract Background Cardiac rehabilitation has traditionally invoved low-to moderate intensity continuous exercise training (MICT). There is growing evidence that high intensity interval exercise training (HIIT) shows similar or greater efficacy compared with MICT. However, the relationship between...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract Background Cardiac rehabilitation has traditionally invoved low-to moderate intensity continuous exercise training (MICT). There is growing evidence that high intensity interval exercise training (HIIT) shows similar or greater efficacy compared with MICT. However, the relationship between the training modality and its effects on endothelial function still remains to be elucidated. Purpose To evaluate the impact of high intensity interval exercise training versus low-to moderate intensity continuous exercise training on circulating blood markers of endothelial function: the stable end product of nitric oxide (NOx), S–nitrosothiols (RSNO–reservoir for bioavailable nitric oxide), dimethylarginine (ADMA) and symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) in patients (pts) with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Methods A total of 43 pts with HFpEF (mean age 57.5±6.8y) admitted at residential rehabilitation center were enrolled in the study. Patients were randomized to HIIT, (HIIT group, n=20) and MICT, (MICTgroup, n=23). At baseline and 3 weeks later, in all pts values of NOx, RSNO, ADMA and SDMA were determined and exercise test was performed. Results After 3 weeks NOx increased significantly in both groups: in HIITgroup (from 34.7±7.5 to 48.5±8.3 μmol/l, P
