متن کاملPhysical activity during daily life and mortality in patients with peripheral arterial disease.
BACKGROUND We determined whether patients with lower-extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD) who are more physically active during daily life have lower mortality rates than PAD patients who are less active. METHODS AND RESULTS Participants were 460 men and women with PAD (mean age 71.9+/-8.4 years) followed up for 57 months (interquartile range 36.6 to 61.9 months). At baseline, particip...
متن کاملPhysical Activity Monitoring in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
Reduced physical activity (PA) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality (e.g. exacerbations) and eventually leads to disability, depression, and social and physical isolation. Measuring PA in this population is important to accurately characterize COPD and to help clinicians during a baseline evaluation and patient follow...
متن کاملStudies in Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease
A controlled clinical-pathologic study of peripheral arteriosclerotic gangrene is reported in which all amputated specimens were examined by a special technic of injection and dissection of the arteries. The type of patient in whom gangrene usually develops is defined. The effect of various clinical and pathologic conditions on the degree of arterial insufficiency is discussed from the viewpoin...
