Abstract
Impaired primary hemostasis and dysregulated angiogenesis, known as a two-hit hypothesis, are associated with gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding in patients with continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (CF-LVADs). Exercise is known to influence hemostasis and angiogenesis in healthy individuals; however, little is known about the effect in patients with CF-LVADs. The objective of this prospective observational study was to determine whether acute exercise modulates two-hit hypothesis mediators associated with GI bleeding in patients with a CF-LVAD. Twenty-two patients with CF-LVADs performed acute exercise either on a cycle ergometer for approximately 10 minutes or on a treadmill for 30 minutes. Blood samples were taken pre- and post-exercise to analyze hemostatic and angiogenic biomarkers. Acute exercise resulted in an increased platelet count (p < 0.00001) and platelet function (induced by adenosine diphosphate, p = 0.0087; TRAP-6, p = 0.0005; ristocetin, p = 0.0009). Additionally, high-molecular-weight vWF multimers (p < 0.00001), vWF collagen-binding activity (p = 0.0012), factor VIII (p = 0.034), angiopoietin-1 (p = 0.0026), and vascular endothelial growth factor (p = 0.0041) all increased after acute exercise. This pilot work demonstrates that acute exercise modulated two-hit hypothesis mediators associated with GI bleeding in patients with CF-LVADs.
