LV end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) was measured on the short-axis cine image of the LV at the level of the papillary muscles. LV end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVi), LV end-systolic volume index (LVESVi), LV ejection fraction (LVEF), LV cardiac output (CO), LV cardiac index (CI) and LV mass (LVM) were measured using a post-processing workstation (Philips Intellispace Portal 7.0 and Advantage Workstation 4.6). LV endocardial and epicardial contours were drawn on LV short-axis cine images (papillary muscles were excluded). LA anteroposterior (AP) diameters were measured on transversal dark blood images. LA volume and function were analyzed using commercial post-processing software (QStrain, Medis Suite 3.1, Leiden, the Netherlands). The LA endocardial border was manually delineated using a point-and-click approach when the atrium was at its maximum and minimum volumes in both the 2-and 4-chamber cine images (pulmonary veins and LA appendage were excluded) (Fig. 1A1-B2). Then the contours were automatically propagated in all frames throughout the entire cardiac cycle (25 frames/cardiac cycle). CMR-FT was visually reviewed to ensure accurate tracking. In cases of inadequate tracking, the endocardial border was manually readjusted and then the propagation algorithm was reapplied. LA global strain and SR were calculated as the average of the two and four chamber views [20 (link)]. Tracking was blindly repeated three times in both the 2-and 4-chamber views, and the results of the LA volume, strain and SR from the three tracking repetitions were averaged in both views. Three aspects of LA strain were analyzed as previously described [19 (link)–21 (link)] (Fig. 1C): total strain (εs, corresponding to LA reservoir function), active strain (εa, corresponding to LA booster pump function) and passive strain (εe, corresponding to LA conduit function, the difference between εs and εa). Accordingly, three SR parameters were evaluated (Fig. 1D): peak positive strain rate (SRs, corresponding to LA reservoir function), peak early negative strain rate (SRe, corresponding to LA conduit function) and peak late negative strain rate (SRa, corresponding to LA booster pump function).
This figure shows a representative example of left atrial (LA) tracking on both the 2-and 4- chamber cines in a normal control subject. A1 and A2 left ventricular (LV) end-diastole and end-systole respectively on the 2-chamber view, B1and B2 LV end-diastole and end-systole respectively on the 4-chamber view. C and D The LA strain and strain rate curves. The total strain (εs), Passive strain (εe) and active strain (εa) were identified from the strain curves. The strain rates during LV systole (SRs), LV early diastole (SRe), and atrial contraction (SRa) were also determined from the strain rate curve. E LA volume curve. The LA maximum volume (Vmax), the pre-contraction volume (Vpre-a), and the minimum volume (Vmin) are shown here
LA volume (LAV) was assessed at LV end-systole (LAVmax), at LV diastole before LA contraction (LAVpre-a), and at late LV diastole after LA contraction (LAVmin) (Fig. 1E). The parameters of the LAV were obtained from a volume curve generated using Simpson’s method. From the LAV, the LA emptying fractions (LAEF) were calculated as follows: (1) LA total EF = (LAVmax-LAVmin) × 100%/LAVmax, (2) LA passive EF = (LAVmax-LAVpre-a) × 100%/LAVmax, (3) LA active EF = (LAVpre-a-LAVmin) × 100%/LAVpre-a [21 (link)]. For estimating the LA segmental function, the software automatically divided the LA wall into 6 segments on both the 2- and 4-chamber views and generated strain curves and SR for each segment. As has been previously described [10 (link)], the LA segments were described as anterior, antero-roof, inferior, septal, septal-roof and lateral walls (Fig. 2A1-B4). The values of the LA segmental strain and SR were obtained from the average of the three repeated measurements. In the case of insufficient tracking quality, the corresponding segments were excluded from the final analysis. Patients with inadequate tracking quality in more than three segments were excluded from the study.
LA segmentation in representative cases of a healthy subject (A1–4) and a NOHCM patient (B1–4). The LA wall is automatically divided into 6 segments by the software [segment1(S1): anterior, segment2(S2): antero-roof, segment3(S3): inferior, segment4(S4): septal, segment5(S5): septal-roof, segment6(S6): lateral]. Comparison of LA global strain (C) and strain rate (D), segmental strain (C1–6) and strain rate (D1–6) between the non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (NOHCM) (yellow line) and the control (white line), the LA global strain and strain rate in the NOHCM were similar to the control, while segmental strain (inferior) and strain rate (antero-roof, inferior, septal and septal-roof) were lower in the NOHCM than the control. The yellow X axis represented the cardiac cycle length of a patient with NOHCM, and the white X axis represented the cardiac cycle length of a healthy control. εs = total strain, εe = passive strain, ε =, active strain, SRs = peak positive strain rat, SRe = peak early negative strain rate, SRa = peak late negative strain rate. Time dependent curves of the strain parameters were plotted offline using raw values provided by software

The CircAdapt model was used to obtain a simulation that represents the healthy human cardiovascular system. A resting cardiac output of 5.1 l/min and heart rate of 70bpm, and an exercise condition of three times cardiac output and doubled heart rate, were used to adapt tissue volumes and areas in the cardiac walls and large blood vessels as described previously [24 (link),28 (link)]. Mean arterial pressure of 92 mmHg was maintained at both rest and exercise. The resulting baseline human simulation was used as the basis for all subsequent simulations. All parameters used in the reference simulation may be found in the PRef Matlab structure that is part of the code provided in the online supplement (.txt files).

A whole-body impedance cardiography device (CircMonR, JR Medical Ltd, Tallinn, Estonia), which records the changes in body electrical impedance during cardiac cycles, was used to determine beat-to-beat HR, stroke index (stroke volume in proportion to body surface area, ml/m2), cardiac index (cardiac output/body surface area, l/min/m2), and PWV (m/s) [29 (link)-31 (link)]. Left cardiac work index (kg*m/min/m2) was calculated by formula 0.0143*(MAP–PAOP)*cardiac index, which has been derived from the equation published by Gorlin et al. [32 (link)]. MAP is mean radial arterial pressure measured by tonometric sensor, PAOP is pulmonary artery occlusion pressure which is assumed to be normal (default 6 mmHg), and 0.0143 is the factor for the conversion of pressure from mmHg to cmH2O, volume to density of blood (kg/L), and centimetre to metre. Systemic vascular resistance index (systemic vascular resistance/body surface area, dyn*s/cm5/m2) was calculated from the signal of the tonometric BP sensor and cardiac index measured by CircMonR. To calculate the PWV, the CircMon software measures the time difference between the onset of the decrease in impedance in the whole-body impedance signal and the popliteal artery signal. From the time difference and the distance between the electrodes, PWV can be determined. As the whole-body impedance cardiography slightly overestimates PWV when compared with Doppler ultrasound method, a validated equation was utilized to calculate values that correspond to the ultrasound method (PWV = (PWVimpedance*0.696) + 0.864) [30 (link)]. PWV was determined only in the supine position because of less accurate timing of left ventricular ejection during head-up tilt [30 (link)]. A detailed description of the method and electrode configuration has been previously reported [31 (link)]. PWV was also recorded after the head-up tilt in all subjects, and the average difference between the mean PWV before and after the head-up tilt was 0.024 ± 0.388 m/s (mean ± standard deviation), showing the good repeatability of the method (repeatability index R 98%, Bland-Altman repeatability index 0.8) [33 ]. The cardiac output values measured with CircMonR are in good agreement with the values measured by the thermodilution method [31 (link)], and the repeatability and reproducibility of the measurements (including PWV recordings) have been shown to be good [34 (link),35 (link)].

Immediately after inclusion, one of the investigators (RP) injected five successive cold boluses, each according to the manufacturer's recommendation [7 ]. For each bolus, we injected 15 mL 0.9% saline at 6°C through the distal port of the internal jugular catheter. The injection was performed as rapidly as possible, irrespective of the respiratory cycle. The injectate temperature was carefully checked to be <6°C for all boluses, as displayed by the PiCCO device. For ensuring that boluses were <6°C, we used two packs of saline, one frozen and one at 6°C. For each bolus, we sampled 20 mL from the 6°C saline pack, injected it into the iced pack and re-sampled 15 mL from this saline that had been cooled by the contact with ice. These 15 mL were used for performing the bolus. The thermodilution curve recorded by the arterial thermistance was automatically analyzed by the PiCCO2 device, allowing obtaining the value of cardiac output, of GEDV indexed for body surface (GEDVi) and of EVLW indexed for predicted body weight (EVLWi). The five boluses were performed one after another, as soon as blood temperature had returned to its baseline value, as indicated by the device. The values of CI, GEDVi and EVLWi obtained from each thermodilution were collected. No thermodilution curve was rejected from analysis. Treatments were kept unchanged and patients were not mobilized during the study period. All measurements were performed by the same operator (RP).

A modified Astrand-Saltin incremental treadmill protocol was used to determine peak exercise capacity.13 (link) Measures of ventilatory gas exchange were made by use of the Douglas bag technique. Gas fractions were analyzed by mass spectrometry (Marquette MGA 1100), and ventilatory volumes were measured with a Tissot spirometer. V̇O2max was defined as the highest oxygen uptake measured from at least a 40-second Douglas bag. Cardiac output was measured with a modification of the acetylene rebreathing method, with acetylene as the soluble gas and helium as the insoluble gas.14 (link) Measurement of cardiac output by acetylene rebreathing has been validated at rest and maximal exercise.14 (link)–17 (link) This method assumes that cardiac output is equal to effective pulmonary blood flow to ventilated lung, which can be assessed by the rate of decay of acetylene concentration during rebreathing.15 (link) Adequate mixing of the rebreathing gas in the lung was confirmed by a constant level of helium in all cases. Arterial-venous oxygen difference (a-vDo2) was calculated by the Fick equation. The ventilatory threshold was determined by commercial software (First Breath, Marquette). The heart rate at the work rate that elicited the ventilatory threshold was defined as the heart rate at maximal steady state (MSS), which was generally equivalent to ≈85% to 90% of the maximal heart rate.

All participants underwent a graded CPET on a bicycle ergometer (Ergoselect 150P, ergoline GmbH, Bitz, Germany) within 1 week before HIIT. Minute ventilation ( E) and oxygen consumption ( O2) were measured breath by breath using a computer-based system (CareFusion MasterScreen CPX, CPX International Inc., Germany). O2peak was defined as described in the ACSM guidelines for graded CPETs [26 ]. The oxygen uptake efficiency sloe (OUES) during exercise was determined as described in our previous work [7 (link)]. A noninvasive continuous cardiac output (CO) monitoring system (NICOM, Cheetah Medical, Wilmington, DE, USA) was used to measure peak CO (COex) during CPET. The CPET procedure and determination of cardiorespiratory parameters are detailed in Additional file 2.

A closed-loop circulatory flow system was designed that included a centrifugal pump (Cole-Parmer, IL, United States), reservoir, flow meter and ultrasonic flow probes, and pressure transducers as shown in Figures 1A,B. The flow loop was connected to the cerebrovascular model, which was placed in the supine orientation. The inlet and outlet flow rates and pressures were monitored using ultrasonic flow probes (Transonic Systems, Inc., Millis, MA) and pressure transducers (Merit Medical, South Jordan, UT), respectively. The pressure transducers were connected to an analog data acquisition module (DAQ, National Instruments, Texas, United States) and recorded using LabVIEW software (National Instruments, Texas, United States). Similar to Riley et al. (26 (link)), the working fluid consisted of a mixture of water (60% by weight) and glycerol (40% by weight) to obtain a density and dynamic viscosity that is representative of blood (1.09 ± 0.03 g/ml and 3.98 ± 0.14 cP, respectively) at an operating temperature of 22.2°C. Experiments were performed using a steady inlet flow rate of 5.17 ± 0.078 L/min, corresponding to a Reynolds number (Re) in the inlet tube of approximately 3890. This inlet flow rate was chosen to correspond to a representative mean physiological cardiac output of an adult. An extended tube of 900 mm in length was attached to the model inlet such that the flow entering the model inlet was fully developed. To study the effect of a stroke condition on the mean arterial pressure and flow rate in the cerebral arteries, nylon spherical clots of three different sizes (3.15 mm, 4.75 mm, and 6.38 mm in diameter) were manually inserted into the right MCA (RMCA) to completely block the vessel and the corresponding flow through outlet 4, as depicted in Figure 1C. Three separate experiments were performed for both conditions (normal and stroke) to measure the flow rate and pressure at the inlet and various outlets in order to provide boundary conditions for the CFD simulations and for validation. Because the fluid heats up as it is continuously pumped through the flow loop, we waited for 30 min to allow for the fluid temperature to reach a steady state (22.2°C) before measuring the flow rate and pressure. Importantly, the viscosity of the fluid was tuned to account for the effect of this temperature rise, so as to obtain the desired value of 3.98 cP at the steady-state operating temperature. The regional distribution of the flow rate was tuned to match available literature data (30 (link), 31 (link)) by adjusting clamps downstream of the pressure and flow rate measurement sites. This yielded a regional flow distribution such that 73.2% of the flow passed through the descending aorta and 26.8% of the flow was distributed to the remaining arteries stemming from the aortic arch. The flow rates to individual arteries were also tuned to match that reported in the literature (30 (link), 31 (link)), which are summarized in Table 1.

A biventricular test loop created HF scenarios utilizing dual pneumatic pumps (Abiomed AB5000™, Danvers, MA, USA) controlled by a double output driver. Inflows for one CFTAH (Figures 3A, B) and two UVADs (Figures 4A, B) were configured for both atrial and ventricular cannulations (15 (link)). Assessing BVADs occurred on a static test loop, which resulted in the generation of pressure-flow curves from several pump speeds. For each trial, the BVAD was operated over its entire range (i.e., device-specific motor speeds, aortic pressure ranging from 20 to 120 mm Hg), data was recorded, and pressure differentials were monitored and measured throughout the device. In our feasibility study, the cannula had a longer length and smaller diameter, which resulted in an increase in flow resistance, requiring the pump to be operated at higher speeds than are typically used in a clinical setting. Ventricular cannulation was verified by measuring device inlet pressures with cannulae clamped proximally. Via fluid-filled pressure lines, hemodynamic data were recorded from both outflow cannulae. From fixed points on the outflow cannulae, near both pump outlets, total cardiac output was recorded.

Patients’ demographic information, medical comorbidities, associated clinical data, and medications were extracted from the medical records in the geriatric cardiovascular department during the study period. Comorbidities, including diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease, coronary artery disease, chronic heart failure, and cerebrovascular disease, were determined on the basis of inpatient ICD‐9 diagnoses codes. Among these, chronic kidney disease was diagnosed by impaired glomerular filtration rates (< 60 ml/min/1.73 m2), or proteinuria (urinary albumin/creatinine ratio values ≥30 mg/g), persisting for more than 3 months. All participants underwent measurement of body mass index (BMI), serum urea, creatinine, uric acid, homocysteine, brain natriuretic peptide, spot urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, and brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) during their hospitalization. Total 85.9% participants completed 24‐hour blood pressure monitoring and had effective data. Estimated glomerular filtration rates were estimated from serum creatinine levels and the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation.9 The baPWV was automatically measured by two trained researchers using form PWV/ABI instruments (form PWV/ABI, BP‐203RPE III; Omron‐Colin, Japan). Further screening for secondary hypertension, including serum potassium, renin, aldosterone, plasma metanephrine levels, thyroid function tests, 24‐h urinary potassium, renal artery ultrasound or computed tomography angiography, adrenal computed tomography scan or magnetic resonance imaging, and polysomnography, and so on, which was guided by history, clinical examination, and baseline laboratory data, was conducted in patients who were diagnosed as RHTN according to the latest guidelines.10 The diagnosis of secondary hypertension, including chronic kidney disease, obstructive sleep apnea, primary aldosteronism, renovascular disease were conducted according to the associated guidelines.11, 12, 13, 14For measurements of systemic hemodynamics, a CNAP™ monitor (CN Systems Medizintechnik AG, Graz, Austria), which is a continuous noninvasive arterial pressure measurement device, was used. The CNAP™ monitor has been validated for arterial BP, cardiac output, and other hemodynamics.15 Hemodynamic measurements were performed by two fixed trained researchers. An appropriately sized finger cuff of the CNAP™ monitor was affixed to each participant's finger, after a 5‐min supine resting period, and the measurement hand was placed on side of the body. The beat‐to‐beat measurements of systolic BP, diastolic BP, heart rate, cardiac output, and systemic vascular resistance of all participants were performed in the supine position.

The smoothed 2D meshes were imported into Star CCM+ (Siemens cd-adapco, 2020.3, version 15.06.007-R8,) to create polyhedral meshes, with a median mesh size of 509,269 (IQR: 126,501–1,927,197). Mesh independence of these kinds of simulations were previously investigated and assured (19 ). The blood flow simulations were performed by solving the Navier-Stokes equations and were based on the finite volume method. Walls were assumed to be rigid. Simulation settings included laminar flow (Reynolds numbers in the aorta are in the order of 2,000) and the blood was modeled as a Newtonian fluid with a dynamic viscosity of 0.004 Pa*s and a constant density of 1,050 kg/m3. Blood is an inhomogeneous fluid, but the effect of non-Newtonian behaviour in large vessels is negligible. Therefore, modeling the blood as a Newtonian fluid a satisfactory assumption for the aorta. Due to the retrospective design of the study, direct flow or pressure measurements of inflow conditions were not available. Therefore, inflow was set at a constant cardiac output velocity of 0.4 m/s approximating the average normal flow velocity in the ascending aorta (8 (link)), outlet boundaries were defined as zero pressure outlets (i.e., no distally increased vascular resistance). Extensions were created at the ascending aorta and all vessel branches, to have a fully developed flow at the inlet and to avoid outlet boundary conditions effects on the outlets.
