Abstract
Increased sympathetic drive is of prognostic significance in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but its determinants remain poorly understood. One potential mechanism may be chemoreflex-mediated adrenergic stimulation caused by sustained hypercapnia. This study determined the impact of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) on muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) in patients with stable hypercapnic COPD. Ten patients (age 70 ± 7 years, GOLD stage 3–4) receiving long-term NIV (mean inspiratory positive airway pressure 21 ± 7 cmH2O) underwent invasive MSNA measurement via the peroneal nerve during spontaneous breathing and NIV. Compared with spontaneous breathing, NIV significantly reduced hypercapnia (PaCO2 51.5 ± 6.9 vs 42.6 ± 6.1 mmHg, p < 0.0001) along with the burst rate (64.4 ± 20.9 vs 59.2 ± 19.9 bursts/min, p = 0.03) and burst incidence (81.7 ± 29.3 vs 74.1 ± 26.9 bursts/100 heartbeats, p = 0.04) of MSNA. This shows for the first time that correcting hypercapnia with NIV decreases MSNA in COPD.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Autonomic Research aims to draw together and disseminate research work from various disciplines and specialties dealing with clinical problems resulting from autonomic dysfunction. Areas to be covered include: cardiovascular system, neurology, diabetes, endocrinology, urology, pain disorders, ophthalmology, gastroenterology, toxicology and clinical pharmacology, skin infectious diseases, renal disease.
This journal is an essential source of new information for everyone working in areas involving the autonomic nervous system. A major feature of Clinical Autonomic Research is its speed of publication coupled with the highest refereeing standards.
