維持期虚血性心疾患患者及び健常中高年者におけるゴルフ打球中の心拍数

Abstract

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of golf swing on the heart rate level in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease (IHD) and healthy adults. METHODS: Study subjects were 7 male patients with IHD (mean age 59.3±8.7 years) and 7 age-matched, healthy male golfers. AIl subjects underwent golf swing at driving range, during which heart rate and electrocardiogram were monitored via telemetry system. Blood pressure was taken immediately after each golf swing. RESULTS: The average heart rate value for driver shot in the group of patients with IHD was significantly higher (116.1±10.8 bpm, p<0.01) compared to patting. Delta heart rate was calculated from difference between resting heart rate and peak heart rate during golf swing. Delta heart rate for driver shot in the group of IHD patients and healthy controls were significantly higher (32.7±12.5 bpm, p<0.01) compared to patting. CONCLUSIONS: In cardiovascular patients and healthy adults, heart rate of golf swing indicated severe increasing even in driving range.
