Geometric patterns of time ‐delay plots from different cardiac rhythms and arrhythmias using short‐term EKG signals
ConclusionsModified Poincaré plots with smoothed lines connecting successive points could accurately classify different types of arrhythmias based on short RR interval sequence variability. Characteristic emergent patterns can be visually identified and eventually could be distinguished by an automatic classification system able to discern between arrhythmias. This work provides an alternative method to interpret time‐delay plots obtained from short‐term EKG signal recordings. (Source: Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging)

The impact of exercise frequency upon microvascular endothelium function and oxidative stress among patients with coronary artery disease
ConclusionSix months of aerobic exercise training performed with high frequency is preferable to low frequency aiming endothelium microvascular function increases in patients with coronary artery disease. The mechanisms involved in this response are unclear and warrant additional research. (Source: Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging)

Contrast ‐enhanced ultrasound using bolus injections of contrast agent for assessment of postprandial microvascular blood volume in human skeletal muscle
Summary Methods capable of measuring blood flow in a tissue‐specific manner are needed. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether contrast‐enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) using bolus injections of SonoVue® is an useful method for assessing postprandial changes in microvascular perfusion in the vastus lateralis muscle. Ten healthy, young subjects were recruited for this study. Six subjects participated in washout and reproducibility protocols to assess washout time of SonoVue® and the reproducibility of the method when measuring microvascular blood volume (MBV). Six subjects (two of which also participated in th...

Physiological and methodological aspects of rate of force development assessment in human skeletal muscle
Summary Rate of force development (RFD) refers to the ability of the neuromuscular system to increase contractile force from a low or resting level when muscle activation is performed as quickly as possible, and it is considered an important muscle strength parameter, especially for athletes in sports requiring high‐speed actions. The assessment of RFD has been used for strength diagnosis, to monitor the effects of training interventions in both healthy populations and patients, discriminate high‐level athletes from those of lower levels, evaluate the impairment in mechanical muscle function after acute bouts of eccent...
