Screening with doppler ultrasound for carotid artery stenosis in patients with stroke or transient ischaemic attack
ConclusionsIn a major Danish stroke centre, the national recommended time limit of 4 days in patients with stroke or transient ischaemic attack for screening for carotid stenosis was met in almost all patients. No patients were excluded from surgery as a result of a time limit of 14 days from admission to surgery being exceeded. Of all patients screened, 1·2% underwent carotid endarterectomy.

Simulation of aortopulmonary collateral flow in Fontan patients for use in prediction of interventional outcomes
ConclusionsThe work demonstrates a novel method to include APC flow in predictive simulations of Fontan hemodynamics. APC flow was found to have a significant contribution to the pulmonary flow distribution in Fontan patients. (Source: Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging)

Effectiveness of functional training on cardiorespiratory parameters: a systematic review and meta ‐analysis of randomized controlled trials
ConclusionAccording to the GRADE system, there is very low quality evidence that functional training is better than other interventions to improve cardiovascular parameters. This result encourages new searches about the theme. (Source: Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging)

A call to action towards an evidence ‐based approach to using verbal encouragement during maximal exercise testing
Summary By definition, maximal exercise testing inherently requires participants to give a maximal effort. This is an important practical issue as submaximal efforts can produce invalid test results. Verbal encouragement is commonly used to motivate participants to maintain or increase effort investment during maximal exercise testing. Accordingly, studies have reported significant increases in time to exhaustion of between 8% and 18% during VO2max and multistage shuttle run tests, and a significant 30·5 m mean increase in 6‐min walk test distance. Significant improvements during shorter tests, such as the Wingate and ...
