Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, the cardiac function in connective tissue disease, which is known to impair cardiopulmonary function, was compared to that in healthy control during the six-minute walk test with a non-invasive impedance cardiograph device. The results showed the cardiac function in patients was impaired at rest and during walking, in relation to the pulmonary function but not to the cardiac parameters evaluated by transthoracic echocardiography. However, pulmonary hypertension detected by right-heart catheterization reduced the cardiac response during walking. The longitudinal study showed the cardiac function was changed according to the fluctuating pulmonary function, while the distance walked was not changed by the pulmonary function but might be compensated by heart rates.
