Design and testing of an MRI-compatible cycle ergometer for non-invasive cardiac assessments during exercise
BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important tool for cardiac research, and it is frequently used for resting cardiac assessments. However, research into non-pharmacological stress cardiac evaluation is limited. METHODS We aimed to design a portable and relatively inexpensive MRI cycle ergometer capable of continuously measuring pedalling workload while patients exercise to mai...
متن کامل[Cardiac rupture during exercise testing].
Cardiac rupture during stress testing is uncommon and rarely reported, with less than ten cases described in the scientific literature. We present a patient with left ventricular free wall rupture one week after a nontransmural acute myocardial infarction (AMI), when undergoing conventional stress testing. A 70-year-old man, ex-smoker, with no other cardiovascular risk factors, was admitted in ...
متن کاملPedaling rate is an important determinant of human oxygen uptake during exercise on the cycle ergometer
Estimation of human oxygen uptake (V˙o2) during exercise is often used as an alternative when its direct measurement is not feasible. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) suggests estimating human V˙o2 during exercise on a cycle ergometer through an equation that considers individual's body mass and external work rate, but not pedaling rate (PR). We hypothesized that including PR in t...
متن کاملdevelopment and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle
in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...
15 صفحه اولIsoprene and acetone concentration profiles during exercise on an ergometer.
A real-time recording setup combining exhaled breath volatile organic compound (VOC) measurements by proton transfer reaction-mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) with hemodynamic and respiratory data is presented. Continuous automatic sampling of exhaled breath is implemented on the basis of measured respiratory flow: a flow-controlled shutter mechanism guarantees that only end-tidal exhalation segments...
