Athletic Heart Syndrome in the Sled Dog
Athletic heart syndrome is a medical condition common to the endurance athlete, whether human or canine. It is a characterized by the presence of bradycardia, arrhythmia in the form of P wave amplitude increase, QRS wave voltage and amplitude increase, ST segment elevation, and QT segment lengthening.

متن کاملWeight gain--as possible predictor of metabolic syndrome.
Rapid weight gain among patients with mental disorders can further compound psychological distress and negatively influence compliance. Weight gain associated with treatment with atypical antipsychotic medication has been widely recognized as a risk factor for the development of diabetes type II and cardiovascular diseases. This paper describes a 33-year old female patient treated for schizoaff...
متن کاملConditioning Increases the Gain of Contraction-Induced Sarcolemmal Substrate Transport in Ultra-Endurance Racing Sled Dogs
Endurance exercise relies on transsarcolemmal flux of substrates in order to avoid depletion of intramuscular reserves. Previous studies of endurance trained sled dogs have shown a remarkable capacity of these dogs to adapt rapidly to endurance exercise by decreasing the utilization of intramuscular reserves. The current study tested the hypothesis that the dogs' glycogen-sparing phenotype is d...
