A new stress test for thallium-201 myocardial imaging in which pharmacological coronary vasodilatation with dipyridamole is combined with dynamic exercise is described. In 38 patients with coronary artery disease the sensitivity, total number of defects, degree of redistribution, and visual quality of thallium-201 imaging were greater after dipyridamole with exercise testing than after exercise...

This study is to find effectiveness of combined aerobic and resistance training over aerobic exercise on blood glucose level to improve quality of life in type II diabetes.Thirty subjects randomly divided into two equal experimental and control group. Both groups were trained for 10 weeks; 3 days a week with duration of 60 minutes per session. The experimental group trained with aerobic exercis...

Exercise training or chronic treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors can ameliorate glucose intolerance, insulin resistance of muscle glucose metabolism, and dyslipidemia associated with the obese Zucker rat. The purpose of the present study was to determine the interactions of exercise training and ACE inhibition (trandolapril) on these parameters in the obese Zucker rat....

The use of β-blockers is mandatory for counteracting heart failure (HF)-induced chronic sympathetic hyperactivity, cardiac dysfunction and remodeling. Importantly, aerobic exercise training, an efficient nonpharmacological therapy to HF, also counteracts sympathetic hyperactivity in HF and improves exercise tolerance and cardiac contractility; the latter associated with changes in cardiac Ca(2+...

PURPOSE To determine the efficacy of exercise training and its effects on outcomes in patients with heart failure. METHODS MEDLINE, Medscape, and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Registry were searched for trials of exercise training in heart failure patients. Data relating to training protocol, exercise capacity, and outcome measures were extracted and reviewed. RESULTS A total of 81 studies...

Abstract Background Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease (CTEPD) without hypertension could cause significant exercise limitations. However, interventional or surgical treatments for CTEPD with mild normal pressure are on controversy. Purpose We aimed to evaluate cardiopulmonary function through test (CPET) stress echocardiography and determine whether can explain limitations in patients mP...

At the time of hospital discharge, patients with COVID-19 present reduced functional capacity and exercise hyperventilation. Peripheral factors, namely oxygen extraction (myopathy) anemia, which are not fully compensated by a supernormal cardiac output response, account for limitation before exhaustion respiratory reserve. Enhanced chemoreflex sensitivity, rather increased dead space, mainly ac...

We studied the effect of three programs, diet restriction (D), individualized exercise training (E) at the maximal lipid oxidation point (LIPOXmax) and diet combined with exercise (D+E), on body mass, plasma lipoprotein and adiponectin levels in obese girls. Eighteen obese adolescents girls aged 12-14 years were studied. A longitudinal intervention was carried out, consisting of a two-month die...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Aims. Combined cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) and stress echocardiography (ESE) provides a non-invasive tool to study pathophysiology. We analyzed how cardiac functional reserve during relates peak oxygen consumption (VO2). Methods Results. performed symptom-limited graded ramp bicycle CPET-ESE in 30 healthy controls 357 pat...
