Non-occupational physical activity and risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer and mortality outcomes: a dose-response meta-analysis of large prospective studies
Conclusions Inverse non-linear dose–response associations suggest substantial protection against a range of chronic disease outcomes from small increases in non-occupational physical activity in inactive adults. PROSPERO registration number CRD42018095481.

Herculean mistake: mephentermine associated cardiomyopathy.
Authors: Singal AK, Deepti S, Sharma G, Kothari SS Abstract Case presentation: A 32-year-old professional bodybuilder presented with acute decompensated heart failure. He gave a history of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) use for >2 years and mephentermine use for the preceding 3 months.Management: Transthoracic echocardiography showed severe left ventricular (LV) dysfunction with a large pedunculated, mobile thrombus attached to the ventricular apex. The patient had an embolic stroke during the hospital stay, with complete neurological recovery. Following the cessation of mephentermine use, there was a stea...

Possible Consequences of Parathyroidectomy on Hypertension in Primary Hyperparathyroidism
When counseling patients regarding the potential benefits of parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), surgeons discuss the possible short-term and long-term consequences of operation. The short-term benefits may include alleviation of fatigue, bone aches, depressed mood, and frequent urination. While it is extremely rewarding to improve these symptoms, it is the long-term benefits that may be truly life-altering and potentially lifesaving. The organs most likely to be negatively affected by PHPT are the bones, kidneys, brain, and heart. Medical students everywhere still learn about the effects of this dise...

Change in Physical Activity and Cardiac Structure over 10 Years: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Conclusions After accounting for baseline PA, greater positive changes in leisure-time PA levels were associated with a more eccentric-type of LV remodeling pattern over 10 yr. The clinical implications of such findings remain to be determined.

Persistent Impairment in Cardiopulmonary Fitness after Breast Cancer Chemotherapy
Purpose Anthracycline chemotherapy (AC) is associated with acute reductions in cardiopulmonary fitness (V˙O2peak). We sought to determine whether changes in V˙O2peak and cardiac function persisted at 12 months post-AC completion, and whether changes in cardiac function explain the heightened long-term heart failure risk. Methods Women with breast cancer scheduled for AC (n = 28) who participated in a nonrandomized trial of exercise training (ET; n = 14) or usual care (UC; n = 14) during AC completed a follow-up evaluation 12 months post-AC completion (16 months from baseline). At baseline, 4 months, and 16 months, p...

Atrial Fibrillation and Exercise
ATRIAL FIBRILLATION (AF), A COMMON CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA AND A LEADING CAUSE OF STROKE AND HEART FAILURE, CAN DECREASE EXERCISE TOLERANCE AND QUALITY OF LIFE. COMPREHENSIVE, INDIVIDUALIZED EXERCISE PROGRAMS ARE SAFE AND CAN REDUCE CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE RISKS AND ENHANCE PHYSICAL FITNESS AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN MEDICALLY CLEARED CLIENTS WITH AF.

Physical Activity, All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality, and Cardiovascular Disease
Conclusions To avoid the risks associated with premature mortality and the development of ischemic heart disease, ischemic stroke, and all-cause heart failure, all adults should strive to reach the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.

Exercise as a Prescription for Patients with Various Diseases
Publication date: Available online 18 April 2019Source: Journal of Sport and Health ScienceAuthor(s): Xin Luan, Xiangyang Tian, Haixin Zhang, Rui Huang, Na Li, Peijie Chen, Ru WangAbstractA growing understanding of the benefits of exercise over the past few decades has prompted researchers to take an interest in the possibilities of exercise therapy. Because each sport has its own set of characteristics and physiological complications that tend to appear during exercise training, the effects and underlying mechanisms of exercise remain unclear. Thus, the first step in probing exercise effects on different diseases is the s...

Évaluation de la prévalence de l’hypertension artérielle de l’adulte en milieu du travail à Kinshasa, République Démocratique du Congo
ConclusionL’HTA est une pathologie fréquente en milieu de travail et l’obésité en est le principal facteur de risque modifiable. L’élaboration et la mise en place d’un programme de prévention et de prise en charge dans le cadre de la santé au travail s’avère indispensable.AbstractBackgroundArterial hypertension (AHT) is a major cardiovascular risk factor in the occurrence of stroke, heart failure, renal insufficiency and coronary heart disease, which are the leading causes of death worldwide. Insufficient data on high blood pressure in the workplace in the Democratic Republic of Congo, led us to carry out ...

Comparisons of Noninvasive Methods Used to Assess Exercise Stroke Volume in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction
Conclusions: Constituting a clinically impactful step towards construct validation testing, these data suggest SVACET, SVECHO, and O2pulse demonstrate moderate-to-strong concurrent validity for measuring/predicting exercise SV in HFpEF.
