Résumé

Modern consensus panel guidelines recommend restriction from most organized sports for patients with moderate or severe aortic stenosis (AS). However, there is little published data on how frequently physicians deviate from guidelines, how well patients adhere to exercise restrictions, or the effect of restriction on patient-reported quality of life. In this study, we surveyed 93 subjects with AS and their cardiologists regarding participation in organized sports, physical activity, weightlifting, and exercise restriction. Subjects completed the pediatric quality of life inventory (PedsQL) and the pediatric cardiac quality of life inventory (PCQLI). We found that subjects with severe AS (n = 3) were commonly, but not universally, restricted from organized sports (n = 2, 66%). Subjects with moderate AS (n = 40) were rarely restricted from organized sports (n = 6, 17%). No physician-specific characteristics were associated with increased likelihood of recommending exercise restriction. Subjects were more likely to be restricted if they were older (16 years vs. 13 years, p 0.02) and had moderate versus mild AS (p 0.013). PCQLI scores for teens and young adults with AS (age 13-25) were lower than a comparison group of patients with mild congenital heart disease. For all age groups, the PedsQL social functioning score was lower for subjects with exercise restriction (p 0.052). In summary, cardiologists apply consensus guidelines leniently when restricting patients with moderate/severe AS from organized sports and weightlifting. Patients with AS routinely adhere to exercise restriction recommendations. Children and young adults with AS and exercise restriction have lower QOL scores in the social functioning domain.
