OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of self exercise in cardiac rehabilitation on cardiopulmonary exercise capacity for selected patients with coronary artery disease. METHOD The subjects of this study were patients who received percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and who participated in a cardiac rehabilitation program. The supervised exerc...

purpose : the present study was designed to evaluate the effects of aerobic and strength training on cardiac variables such as blood pressure, heart rate (hr), and metabolic parameters like cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (hdl), triglycerides and anthropometric parameters of obese women of punjab .   methods: this study was performed as an experimental study, in which subjects were random...

introduction: several supra spinal areas such as rostral ventrolateral medulla (rvlm) area are involved in basic cardiovascular regulation. the kolliker— fuse nucleus (kf) is located in pons and is heavily connected with rvlm. the cardiovascular effect of kf nucleus has been shown and it is suggested that kf is involved in sympathetic vasomotor tone and basic cardiovascular regulation. therefor...

background: noise is one of the annoying agents in the environment and it is harmful agent in workplaces that its occurrence with work load, there are in many workstations. the aim of this study was to determine the combined effects of exposure to noise and work load on heart rate changes. methods: this cross-sectional study performed on 14 male students into climatic chamber in 2011.the mean ±...

most fetal heart rate patterns can be interpreted accurately so that management decisions can be made correctly. how-ever, few fetal heart rate patterns are so ambiguous that the obstetricians cannot interpret them precisely. a 27-year-old woman at 38 weeks' gestation in her first pregnancy was admitted with heavy vaginal bleeding and decrease in fetal movements. fetal status was indeterminate ...

objective(s): in this study, the effects of crocin against subchronic toxicity of diazinon (dzn) on systolic blood pressure (sbp) and heart rate (hr) were evaluated in rats. materials and methods: rats were equally divided into 7 groups; control (corn oil), dzn (15 mg/kg), crocin (each group received 12.5, 25 or 50 mg/kg crocin plus dzn), vitamin e (200 iu/kg plus dzn) and crocin (50 mg/kg) tre...

background and aim: low back pain is a common complaint in communities which has negative effects on different aspects of life. an effective method for reduction of low back pain complications is foot reflexology. foot reflexology has a positive effect in reduction of complications in low back pain. foot reflexology reduces respiratory rate, blood pressure and pulse rate. this study is an inves...

Two maximization problems of Rényi entropy rate are investigated: the maximization over all stochastic processes whose marginals satisfy a linear constraint, and the Burg-like maximization over all stochastic processes whose autocovariance function begins with some given values. The solutions are related to the solutions to the analogous maximization problems of Shannon entropy rate.

Numerous studies have examined the effect of temperature on in vivo and in situ cardiovascular function in trout. However, little information exists on cardiac function at temperatures near the trout's upper lethal limit. This study measured routine and maximum in situ cardiac performance in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) following acclimation to 15, 18 and 22 °C, under conditions of t...
