BACKGROUND:<\/p>\n

Myalgic encephalomyelitis\/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME\/CFS) causes significant impairment in daily activities, including the ability to pursue daily activities. Chronotropic intolerance<\/a> is becoming better characterized in ME\/CFS and may be the target of supportive treatment.<\/p>\n

OBJECTIVE:<\/p>\n

\"\"To document the effect of repeated intravenous (IV) saline<\/a> administration on cardiovascular functioning and symptoms in a 38-year old female with ME\/CFS.<\/p>\n

METHODS:<\/p>\n

The patient received 1\u200aL of 0.9% IV saline through a central line for a total of 675 days. Single CPETs<\/a> were completed periodically to assess the effect of treatment on cardiopulmonary function at peak exertion and ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT). An open-ended symptom questionnaire was used to assess subjective responses to CPET and self-reported recovery time.<\/p>\n

RESULTS:<\/p>\n

Improvements were noted in volume of oxygen consumed (VO2),<\/a> heart rate (HR), and systolic blood pressure<\/a> (SBP) at peak and VAT.<\/p>\n

Self-reported recovery time from CPET reduced from 5 days to 1\u20132 days by the end of treatment. The patient reported improved quality of life related, improved capacity for activities of daily living, and reduced symptoms.<\/p>\n

CONCLUSIONS:<\/p>\n

IV saline may promote beneficial effects for cardiopulmonary function and symptoms in people with ME\/CFS, which should be the focus of formal study.<\/p>\n
