conclusions patients with normal exercise echocardiogram results regardless of ischemia or chest pain during the test had excellent outcomes over a one-year follow-up. objectives the aim of this cross sectional study was to assess the prognosis of patients with negative exercise echocardiographic results over a one-year period follow-up. patients and methods the outcomes of 336 patients who had...

Exercise test was reported to be useful for some patients with periodic paralysis. We report here the results of exercise test in three cases of thyrotoxic periodic paralysis, for whom the exercise test was all positive. Exercise test could be one of the diagnostic tools in the "inter-attack" state of the probable cases with thyrotoxic periodic paralysis. However, the case number of this study ...

During exercise the renin-angiotensin system is stimulated. We hypothesized that the increase in serum angiotensin II (AngII) levels after exercise is dependent on exercise intensity and duration and secondly that people with the ACE-II genotype will show a higher increase in AngII serum levels. We also assumed that perfusion of upper limbs is transiently reduced with maximal cycling exercise a...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the specific effects of balance and gait exercises among frail elderly individuals. DESIGN A randomized three-group parallel controlled study. SETTING Geriatric health services facility in Japan. SUBJECTS Thirty-four frail elderly subjects attending the care facility were randomized into a control group, an exercise group with emphasis on balance or an exercise group...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of disodium cromoglycate (DSCG) on gas exchange and ventilation during incremental exercise in asthmatic children with an FEV1 fall less than 15 percent from the baseline after the exercise. Seventeen children (aged 8 to 14 years) with a history of mild to moderate asthma but no clinical and spirometric evidence of exercise-induced asthma (EIA...

background: the appearance of a new innovation in medical science named aquatic exercise has faded the effects of other preventive exercises in patients with multiple sclerosis to a large extent. since exercise is one of the beneficial factors in enhancement of quality of life, researchers decided to investigate the role of aquatic exercise on the patients' quality of life. methods: this study ...

Exercise training can improve angina. A patient whose exercise tolerance test became normal after a year on an exercise programme nevertheless had a positive exercise test when he was taking a beta blocker. These results suggest that it may be undesirable to use beta blockers in patients with angina who are on exercise programmes.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of indirect methods of assessment of VO2max for estimation of physical capacity of trained male and female rowers during a training cycle. A group of 8 female and 14 male rowers performed the maximal intensity test simulating the regatta distance (a 2 km test) and a submaximal incremental exercise test on a rowing ergometer. The suitability of...
