1 Relationship Between Exercise Capacity and Brain Natriuretic Peptide in Patients After Cardiac Surgery Yoshihiro J. Akira Kazuto Naohiko Tomoko Akihiko Keiko Tadanori AKASHI, MD KOIKE, MD, FJCC OMIYA, MD OSADA, MD MAEDA TAJIMA OIKAWA, MD AIZAWA, MD, FJCC Hiroyuki Long-Tai IINUMA, MD FU, MD Abstract Objectives. Physical training in cardiac patients can increase exercise capacity and reduce plasma brain natriuretic peptide BNP concentration, but these effects may depend on the etiology of cardiac disease. The change in exercise capacity and BNP during the training period were investigated in patients with different cardiac diseases. Methods. Ninety-one patients after coronary artery bypass grafting CABG and 78 patients after valve replacement VR underwent a symptom-limited incremental cardiopulmonary exercise test before 1 month and 6 months after physical training. Anaerobic threshold and peak oxygen uptake peak-vo 2 were measured during the cardiopulmonary exercise test. Before each cardiopulmonary exercise test, a blood sample was obtained in the resting condition for measuring BNP. Results. Anaerobic threshold and peak-vo 2 were increased significantly from 1 month to 6 months in both groups. BNP in the CABG group indicated a tendency to decrease pg/ml, p 0.1 from 1 month to 6 months. BNP in VR group was significantly decreased pg/ml, p 0.05 during the training period. The CABG group showed a significant negative correlation between peak-vo 2 and BNP at 1 month r0.28, p 0.01 and at 6 months r 0.39, p The VR group showed a significant negative correlation between peak-vo 2 and BNP at 6 months r0.32, p 0.01, but not at 1 month. Conclusions. Six months of physical training in patients after cardiac surgery may improve exercise capacity and reduce BNP. BNP concentration in the VR group before physical training did not reflect functional capacity.
