    Purpose: Marfan syndrome is a dominant autosomal disease provoked by mutations of gene of fibrillin 1, chromosome 15, and may exhibit skeletal, ocular, cardiovascular and other manifestations. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is used as a measure of arterial elasticity and rigidity and is related to the elastic properties of the vascular wall. As the practice of exercise is limited in this population, it was of our interest to analyze the acute effect of moderate to intensive exercise on patients with Marfan syndrome with either no dilatation of the aorta or a maximum of mild dilatation of this vessel. Methods: PWV and physiological variables were evaluated before and after the performance of sub-maximal exercise in 33 patients with Marfan syndrome and 18 controls. Results: PWV in the group with Marfan syndrome was 8.51±0.58 m/s at rest and 9.10±0.63 m/s at the end of the exercise (p=0.002); in the control group, PWV was 8.07±0.35 m/s at rest and 8.98±0.56 m/s at the end of exercise (p=0.004). The comparative analysis between groups regarding PWV at rest (p=0.519) and at the end of exercise (p=0.866) revealed no statistically significant differences. The final heart rate values in the control group were 10% higher than values in the group with Marfan syndrome (p = 0.01). Final systolic arterial pressure was higher in the control group (p=0.02). There was no difference in lactate between groups. Exercise time was greater in the control group (p=0.01). Conclusions: The behavior of aortic distensibility was similar in the patients with Marfan syndrome without or with mild dilatation of the aorta to that of the control group. The chronotropic and pressure responses were lower in patients than in control group.

    Immediate effects of submaximal effort on pulse wave velocity in patients with Marfan syndrome
    (Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica, 2010-04-01) Peres, Paulo Alberto [UNIFESP]; Bernardelli, Graziella França [UNIFESP]; Mendes, Cássia Claudino [UNIFESP]; Fischer, Sven C P M [UNIFESP]; Servantes, Denise Maria [UNIFESP]; Medeiros, Wladimir Musetti [UNIFESP]; Carvalho, Antonio Carlos [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Marfan syndrome (MS) is a dominant autosomal disease caused by mutations in chromosome 15, the locus controlling fibrillin 1 synthesis, and may exhibit skeletal, ocular, cardiovascular, and other manifestations. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is used to measure arterial elasticity and stiffness and is related to the elastic properties of the vascular wall. Since the practice of exercise is limited in MS patients, it was of interest to analyze the acute effect of submaximal exercise on aortic distensibility using PWV and other hemodynamic variables in patients with MS with either mild or no aortic dilatation. PWV and physiological variables were evaluated before and after submaximal exercise in 33 patients with MS and 18 controls. PWV was 8.51 ± 0.58 at rest and 9.10 ± 0.63 m/s at the end of exercise (P = 0.002) in the group with MS and 8.07 ± 0.35 and 8.98 ± 0.56 m/s in the control group, respectively (P = 0.004). Comparative group analysis regarding PWV at rest and at the end of exercise revealed no statistically significant differences. The same was true for the group that used β-blockers and the one that did not. The final heart rate was 10% higher in the control group than in the MS group (P = 0.01). Final systolic arterial pressure was higher in the control group (P = 0.02). PWV in MS patients with mild or no aortic dilatation did not differ from the control group after submaximal effort.
