Studies assessing muscle exercise have revealed an increase in sympathetic outflow as a link to muscle hypoperfusion and exercise limitation. Our primary hypothesis was that muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) correlates with exercise limitation in COPD. MSNA was evaluated at rest and during dynamic or static handgrip exercise. Additionally, we assessed heart rate, blood pressure, CO2 tension, oxygen saturation (SpO(2)), and breathing frequency. Ergospirometry was performed to evaluate exercise capacity. We assessed MSNA of 14 COPD patients and 8 controls. In patients, MSNA was negatively correlated with peak oxygen uptake (VO2 % pred) (r = -0.597; p = 0.040). During dynamic or static handgrip exercise, patients exhibited a significant increase in MSNA, which was not observed in the control group. The increase in MSNA during dynamic handgrip was highly negatively correlated with peak exercise capacity in Watts (w) and peak oxygen uptake (VO2/kg) (r = -0.853; p = 0.002 and r = -0.881; p = 0.002, respectively). Our study reveals an association between increased MSNA and limited exercise capacity in patients with COPD. Furthermore, we found an increased sympathetic response to moderate physical exercise (handgrip), which may contribute to exercise intolerance in COPD."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3109/15412555.2015.1136272"],["dc.identifier.gro","3141749"],["dc.identifier.isi","000381997300009"],["dc.identifier.pmid","26829234"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/646"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.publisher","Taylor & Francis Inc"],["dc.relation.eissn","1541-2563"],["dc.relation.issn","1541-2555"],["dc.title","Sympathetic Activation is Associated with Exercise Limitation in COPD"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

We hypothesized that resistive unloading of respiratory muscles by intermittent non-invasive ventilation (NIV) reduces sympathetic tone at rest and during subsequent handgrip exercise in patients with COPD. Methods Muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) in the peroneal nerve, heart rate, blood pressure, CO2, and SpO2 were continuously recorded in 5 COPD patients with intermittent NIV and 11 control COPD patients without NIV. Static and dynamic handgrip exercises were performed before and after NIV. Results At baseline, heart rate-adjusted MSNA (bursts/100 heart beats) did not differ between groups. NIV did not significantly affect MSNA levels at rest. However, during handgrip exercises directly following NIV, MSNA was lower than before, which was significant for dynamic handgrip (67.00 ± 3.70 vs. 62.13 ± 4.50 bursts/100 heart beats; p = 0.035 in paired t test). In contrast, MSNA (non-significantly) increased in the control group during repeated dynamic or static handgrip. During dynamic handgrip, tCO2 was lower after NIV than before (change by −5.04 ± 0.68 mmHg vs. −0.53 ± 0.64 in the control group; p = 0.021), while systolic and diastolic blood pressure did not change significantly. Conclusions NIV reduces sympathetic activation during subsequent dynamic handgrip exercise and thereby may elicit positive effects on the cardiovascular system as well as on muscle function in patients with COPD."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00408-016-9965-1"],["dc.identifier.gro","3144961"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/2643"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Crossref Import"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","0341-2040"],["dc.title","Impact of Non-Invasive Ventilation on Sympathetic Nerve Activity in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
