Abstract

Heart rate recovery 1 min after exercise termination (HRR-1) is a prognostic predictor. However, the influence of the exercise mode on HRR-1 is incompletely characterised. Twenty-nine young and healthy subjects and 16 elderly patients with chronic heart failure underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing using cycle ergometer and treadmill ramp protocols in random order. HRR-1 and heart rate recovery 2 and 3 min after exercise (HRR-2, HRR-3) during active recovery and peak oxygen consumption (peak VO₂) were measured. In both healthy subjects (32 ± 14 vs. 27 ± 10 bpm) and HF patients (19 ± 8 vs. 14 ± 9 bpm), HRR-1 was faster after cycle exercise (p = 0.029; p for between group difference 0.94). In contrast, HRR-2 and HRR-3 were similar after both tests in both groups. Peak VO₂ was lower during cycle as compared to treadmill exercise in both groups. In conclusion, in both healthy subjects and HF patients, HRR-1 depends on the mode of exercise as peak VO₂ does.
