The effect of gender on left ventricular function immediately after the wingate test

The effect of gender on left ventricular systolic function and exercise haemodynamics in healthy young subjects was studied during 30-s all-out sudden strenuous dynamic exercise. A group of 22 men [19.3 (SD 1) years] 20 women [19.1 (SD 1) years] volunteered to participate in this study. Two-dimensional direct M-mode and Doppler echocardiograph studies were performed with the subject in the sitting position. The Doppler examination of flow was located with continuous-wave, interrogating ascending aorta measurements. The subjects completed the study without showing any electrocardiograph abnormalities. An interaction effect with stroke volume (P?P??1) for the men and 12.1 (SD 4) l?·?min^?1 for the women compared to the rest values [5.8 (SD 0.4) and 4.7 (SD 0.5) l?·?min^?1, respectively]. Flow velocity integral and acceleration time differed significantly between the two groups at rest (P?P?P?
