Relationship Between Dryland Strength and Swimming Performance: Pull-Up Mechanics as a Predictor of Swimming Speed.

Pérez-Olea, JI, Valenzuela, PL, Aponte, C, and Izquierdo, M. Relationship between dryland strength and swimming performance: pull-up mechanics as a predictor of swimming speed. J Strength Cond Res 32(6): 1637-1642, 2018-This study aimed to examine the validity of the countermovement jump (CMJ) and the pull-up exercise as predictors of swimming performance.

The effect of fenoldopam on the blood pressure of the rat.

1. Fenoldopam mesylate, a benzazepine derivative, is a D1 receptor agonist that lowers blood pressure through vasodilation of renal, mesenteric, coronary and cerebral vascular beds. 2.

[Oral vasodilators in the treatment of congestive heart failure].

Oral vasodilators have proved to be valuable drugs in the management of systolic or diastolic congestive heart failure. They produce a clinical and hemodynamic relief of preload, afterload or both during the resting state or exercise. Although left ventricular hypertrophy is an adaptative response to myocardial stress, in the long run it becomes an independent risk factor leading to diastolic dysfunction.

Congestive heart failure due to hypertensive ventricular diastolic dysfunction.

Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is the first discernible manifestation of heart disease in hypertensive patients. Arterial hypertension with LV hypertrophy leads to reduced preload followed by impaired cardiac output (systolic dysfunction stemming from primary diastolic dysfunction). Diastolic dysfunction leads more often than systolic dysfunction to hypertensive heart failure and is in many cases clearly distinguishable from heart failure with low ejection fraction (EF).
