OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to investigate the heart rate turn point (HRTP) in the time course of the heart rate performance curve (HRPC) in patients after myocardial infarction, and the relationship between the HRTP, the left ventricular function, and the second lactate turn point (LTP2). METHODS We studied the degree and the direction of the HRPC and the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in 49 male patients 57 +/- 8 d after their first posterior wall infarction (MI). An incremental cycle ergometer test was performed and three phases of energy supply were defined (I: aerobic; II: aerobic-anaerobic transition; III: anaerobic) via blood lactate LA concentration. HRTP and LVEF-turn points (LVEFTP) were assessed by linear turn point analysis. The degree and direction of the deflection of HRPC were described as factor k (k > 0.1: downward deflection; -0.1 < k < 0.1: linear time curse; k < -0.1: upward deflection). The LVEF was determined by RNA. The difference between Pmax and LTP2 was calculated for LVEF (delta LVEF). RESULTS An HRTP could be found in 44 and a LVEFTP in 47 cases. The HRTP occurred at 85 +/- 17 Watt (W), which correlated (r = 0.95; P < 0.001) with the LTP2 (84 +/- 17 W) and the LVEFTP (84 +/- 17 W, r = 0.93; P < 0.001). From LTP2 to Pmax a significant decrease in LVEF was found. There was a correlation between the percentage of HRmax at the HRTP and k (r = 0.70), as well as delta LVEF (r = 0.56). CONCLUSIONS To prevent myocardial overloading, it seems to be useful to determine the HRTP, which indicate the workload where LVEF decreases.
