Result of the study indicate that females on an average demonstrate 10-12 beats/min greater heart rate (HR) response than their male counterparts at the two su bmaximal work loads on bicycle ergometer. This is indicative of better cardio-respiratory fitness of males than the females of the ...

for chromosomal abnormalities associated with congenital heart disease.

The rate of decline in VO2peak accelerates in older age from 3%-6% per decade in the 20s to 30s to >20% per decade after the age of 70 years (16). Age-related declines in strength and balance exacerbate decrements in VO2peak caused by alterations in skeletal muscle, including atrophy...
18 Perceived Activity and Actual Activity At baseline, participants were asked to rate how active they were on a scale of 1 to 6 on the Leisure-Time Activity Survey (eFigure 4A in the Supplement). On the Moderate or Vigorous Physical Activity Questionnaire, participants were also asked to ...
For age we used the patient’s age at his or her last encounter. For in hospital mortality rate, we utilized a structured data field in the EHR; actual mortality rates are almost certainly higher. The names chosen for the different clusters reflect the significantly overrepresented complaints ...
191 In addition, women are less likely to receive arteriovenous fistulae for hemodialysis,192 and predialysis fistula creation attempts might be associated with a lower risk of sudden death and CV mortality.193 Women receiving dialysis have a similar mortality rate as age-matched men receiving ...
Figure 1. Kaplan-Meier analysis of survival plots for death in the post-transplant period (after first six months after transplantation). Persistence of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50% in the post-transplant period was associated with an eight-fold increase in the rate of death....
Also, this further weighs on the healthcare system as there is the need to allocate adequate resources required for further evaluation of such potential cases, which is usually difficult in resource-poor settings. The high false-positive rate of the WHF diagnostic criteria cannot be completely ...
