BACKGROUND: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is used in the evaluation of unexplained dyspnea. However, its interpretation requires expertise that is often not available. We aim to evaluate the utility of ChatGPT (GPT) in interpreting CPET res...
INTRODUCTION: Iron deficiency affects exercise capacity because of the critical role iron plays in the optimal functioning of skeletal muscle metabolism. We hypothesized that intravenous iron may improve exercise tolerance, quality of life (QoL), and...
BACKGROUND: Despite improvement in lung function, most lung transplant (LTx) recipients show an unexpectedly reduced exercise capacity that could be explained by persisting peripheral muscle dysfunction of multifactorial origin. We analyzed the cours...
Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
Mar 31, 2020
BACKGROUND: Low cardiovascular fitness is common poststroke. Conventional subacute stroke rehabilitation does not meet Australian National Stroke Guidelines for cardiovascular exercise, particularly in mobility-dependent patients. Walking robotics ca...
Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography : official publication of the American Society of Echocardiography
Feb 1, 2019
BACKGROUND: The authors used cluster analysis of data from cardiovascular domains associated with exercise intolerance to help define prognostic phenotypes of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
European journal of applied physiology
Nov 29, 2018
BACKGROUND: The hybrid assistive limb (HAL) is the world's first cyborg-type robot suit that provides motion assistance to physically challenged patients. HAL is expected to expand the possibilities of exercise therapy for severe cardiac patients who...
Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography : official publication of the American Society of Echocardiography
Aug 23, 2018
BACKGROUND: Stress testing helps diagnose heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), but there are no established criteria for quantifying left ventricular (LV) functional reserve. The aim of this study was to investigate whether compreh...
Research quarterly for exercise and sport
Dec 20, 2017
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine differences in heart rate recovery (HRRec) and oxygen consumption recovery (VO recovery) between young healthy-weight children and children with obesity following a maximal volitional graded exercise ...
BACKGROUND: The objective was to better understand Doppler hemodynamics and exercise capacity in patients with Fontan palliation by delineating the hemodynamic mechanism for temporal changes in their peak oxygen consumption (V̇o).
