Ischaemic Electrocardiograms in Symptomless Men

Electrocardiograms of healthy men after strenuous exercise.

Between August 1954 and May 1957, 682 R.A.F. officers and men volunteered for a study of the electrocardiogram after exercise. Of these, 660 were selected because they had no symptoms, no clinical or radiological evidence of heart disease, a diastolic blood pressure of below 100 mm. Hg, and a normal 12-lead electrocardiogram taken at rest. Certain minor electrocardiographic changes that are bel...

Yield of ischaemic exercise electrocardiograms in relation to exercise intensity in a normal population.

Maximal bicycle ergometer exercise in an asymptomatic male population, aged 40-65 years, revealed 63 subjects with 'ischaemic' ST changes. The work intensity at the time of appearance of this change was expressed as actual heart rate as a per cent ofmaximum heart rate, and oxygen uptake as a per cent ofmaximal oxygen uptake. If the exercise had been stopped at a target heart 'rate of 85 per cen...

Symptomless Hyperpiesia in Dockyard Workers

made neurosis which thereafter effectively prevents them from working even if they are allowed to do so. Symptomless hyperpiesia as it occurs in working men at the age of 60 has been the subject of this small study. My object has been to try and show first whether hyperpietics, who are known to carry a short expectation of life,1 are particularly prone to chronic ill health or to die within a s...

Pre-existing ischaemic heart disease and ischaemic heart disease mortality in women compared with men.

BACKGROUND In all 8353 women and 7058 men aged 45-64 took part in the Renfrew/Paisley survey in 1972-1976. They formed a prospective cohort study of a general population in the West of Scotland; an area with high ischaemic heart disease (IHD) mortality rates. The objective of this study was to investigate three indicators of pre-existing IHD and determine how they predicted subsequent IHD morta...
