Andreassen et al. demonstrated improved exercise capacity and ventilatory inefficiency, both
important prognostic predictors in CTEPH [3, 4], using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (…

Background: Although there is a general fear that exercise training might deteriorate renal
function in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, the effect of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on …

Objective To determine safety and efficacy of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) initiated immediately
following balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) in patients with inoperable chronic …

Background: Peak oxygen uptake (V̇O 2) and ventilatory efficiency (V̇E/V̇CO 2 slope)
measured on cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) are prognostic indicators in heart failure …

Background Despite the success of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) therapy in reducing
atherosclerotic cardiovascular events, a residual risk for cardiovascular events in patients …

Background It remains unknown whether the incidence of cardiac rupture (CR) in acute
myocardial infarction (AMI) and its determinants have changed over years under the medical …

In patients whose cardiac dysfunction was the result of cardiac sarcoidosis, sudden death is
the most common cardiac manifestation. 1) Ventricular tachycardia (VT) and complete heart …

Needless to say, physical conditioning by exercise training improves exercise tolerance,
health-related quality of life, and heart failure hospitalization rates in patients with heart failure. …
