[Behaviour of left ventricular systolic time intervals after isometric exercise in patients with ischemic heart disease (author's transl)].
The authors describe differences in behaviour of left ventricular systolic time intervals after isometric exercise between patients with ischemic heart disease and normal control. Isometric exercise consists of tonic hand-grip, which is to be gauged by hand-grip dynamometer for 5 minutes at 30% of the patient's maximum voluntary contraction or for 2-3 minutes at 50%. The parameters referred to are pre-ejection period and left ventricular ejection time index (PEPI, TETI), the PEP/TET ration, heart rate and arterial pressure. The authors conclude that from isometric exercise it is possible to point out the heart failure degree in patients with ischemic heart disease.
