background: despite the positive outcomes reported with cardiac rehabilitation (cr), its impacts have been reported to be different from a region or country to another, which may be due to the different contents of rehabilitation programs. objectives: to investigate the effect of cr on cardiovascular risk factors. patients and methods: this is a retrospective cohort study on the data from imam ...

a role of adenosine in pathogenesis of syndrome x has recently been postulated. previous studies suggest that aminophylline (an adenosine receptor blocker) improves exercise tolerance in this disorder. present study was performed to examine the efficacy of theophylline in syndrome x and to determine the incidence of cardiovascular risk factors and clinical, ecg and angiographic findings in thes...

conclusions in short term, using the self-management program can lead to increased exercise tolerance and decreased dyspnea in patients with copd; thus, this program is recommended as an effective way to improve the functional statuses of these patients. results there was no significant difference between the groups in exercise tolerance at base line; but, they were significantly different at t...

Objective(s):Morphine is widely used to treat chronic pain. However, its utility is hindered by the development of tolerance to its analgesic effects. Despite the renowned beneficial effects of physical exercise on cognitive functions and signs of morphine withdrawal in morphine-dependent rats, little is known about the roles of voluntary and forced exercises in tolerance to analgesic effect of...

cardiac function during exercise is assumed to be important in determining exercise tolerance. the aim of this study was to evaluate hemodynamic changes of blood flow at anaerobic threshold and its effect on exercise tolerance. 24 patients with coronary artery disease were voluntarily divided into two groups of experimental (n=12) and control (n=12). the experimental group participated in 8 wee...

The relations of systolic and diastolic blood pressures to alcohol intake and exercise tolerance levels in 15,612 men and 3,855 women were investigated. Alcohol intake was assessed by questionnaire and stratified into seven levels for men and six for women according to the ounces of ethanol consumed per week. Exercise tolerance was determined by maximal treadmill exercise testing and was catego...
