Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) is a chronic condition prevalent
in women; the symptoms are reproducible with repeated low-level
chemical exposure.
Evidence gathered through clinical observations suggests that women
with MCS may be at risk for autonomic nervous system dysfunction as
evidenced by abnormal heart rate and pulse pressure responses to
exercise.
The primary objective of this study was to describe the hemodynamic
response to postural shift in 17 women with MCS. Using impedance
cardiography, hemodynamic measures were taken while sitting and
immediately upon standing.
The hemodynamic response to standing was increased heart rate (p
< .0001), decreased stroke volume (p = .002), decreased left
ventricular ejection time (p < .0001), increased diastolic blood
pressure (p = .01), and increased systemic vascular resistance (p
=.002). Although this pattern of hemodynamic response was normal, the
magnitude of the changes was considerably less than those observed
previously in healthy participants. These findings warrant further
investigation.
