For a long time, physical activities have been contraindicated in haemophiliacs or were restricted to few activities. Sports are nowadays advocated for haemophiliacs. Although various lists of physical activities have been proposed, scuba diving is never mentioned.

[Study of myocardial metabolism of NADH by laser fluorimetry during cardiac catheterization].

Laser fluorimetry of reduced nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide (NADH) p6 a new technique used for in situ and real-time study of myocardial metabolism. We have evaluated its applicability to clinical situations in 5 patients undergoing haemodynamic exploration. An optic fibre was inserted in a catheter the end of which was positioned in the postero-diaphragmatic part of the left ventricle.
