Muscle and femoral vein temperatures during short-term maximal exercise in heart failure. 1985

F G Shellock, and H J Swan, and S A Rubin

Core temperature decreases throughout short-term maximal exercise in heart-failure patients. To investigate possible causes for this unusual response to exercise, we studied core (pulmonary arterial blood), femoral vein, muscle, and skin temperatures in eight patients with severe heart failure who performed maximal upright incremental bicycle exercise to 50 W. A normal group (n = 4) was exercised for comparison. In the heart-failure patients, core temperature was 36.95 +/- 0.37 degrees C at rest, significantly (P less than 0.05) decreased at 25 W of exercise to 36.59 +/- 0.40 degrees C, and at 50 W remained decreased to 36.57 +/- 0.40 degrees C. In comparison, we found that the resting core temperature in the normal subjects was 37.28 +/- 0.34 degrees C, was the same at 25 W (37.29 +/- 0.41 degrees C), and increased significantly (P less than 0.05) to 37.50 +/- 0.32 degrees C at 50 W of exercise. Femoral vein temperature in heart-failure patients (n = 6) was below core temperature throughout exercise to 25 and 50 W (36.22 +/- 0.62 and 36.34 +/- 0.65 degrees C, respectively). Muscle temperature (n = 7) was significantly (P less than 0.05) lower in the heart-failure patients (34.8 +/- 1.1 degrees C) at rest compared with the normal subjects (36.2 +/- 1.0 degrees C). During exercise, muscle temperature increased above core temperature in only four of the heart-failure patients and was significantly (P less than 0.05) lower (36.5 +/- 1.3 degrees C) compared with the normal subjects (38.0 +/- 0.2 degrees C).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
