Background Oxidative stress and inflammation have been implicated in the pathogenesis of diastolic dysfunction (DD) and are both present in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Purpose To evaluate the role of oxidative stress markers (8-isoprostane) and inflammation (prostaglandin E2, resistin) in the pathogenesis of stress induced left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in non-severe COPD. Materials and methods 104 patients with non-severe COPD (FEV1 &amp;gt; 50%) and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction &amp;gt;50% underwent incremental cardio-pulmonary exercise testing (CPET). Echocardiography was performed before CPET and 1-2 minutes after peak exercise. Peak E/e’ ratio &amp;gt;15 was a marker for stress LVDD. Urine concentration of 8-isoprostanes was assumed as surrogate marker for oxidative stress; urine concentration of prostaglandine-E2 and plasma resistin levels as inflammatory markers. Mass spectrometry was applied for 8-isoprostane and prostglandine E2 (Cayman. Chemical) measurement. Values were normalised to urine creatinine (µmol/l/cre). ELISA was applied for resistin measurement (Raybio_Human) (ng/ml). Results Patients were divided into two groups: subjects with stress LVDD (67) and subjects without stress LVDD (37). 8-isoprostane levels were higher in subjects with LVDD vs those without LVDD (32.9 vs 29.67µmol/l/cre; p&amp;lt; 0.05). The same is observed regarding resistin plasma levels (22.51 vs 15.68ng/ml). Urine concentrations of prostaglandin E2 did not differ between the two groups (50.76 vs 51.07 µmol/l/cre) Conclusions In non-severe COPD patients the levels of oxidative stress (8-isoprostanes) and inflammation (resistin) seem to be associated with stress induced left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.
