Effects of Resistance Training on Vascular and Hemodynamic Responses in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of adjunctive resistance training (RT) in aerobically trained patients with coronary artery disease on systolic blood pressure (SBP), heart rate (HR), rating of perceived exertion (RPE; using the traditional 6-to-20 scale), and rate-pressure product (RPP) responses to lifting fixed submaximal workloads. Additionally, pretest and posttest RT measures of brachial artery reactivity were obtained.

Method: Fifteen patients with coronary artery disease (M = 66.

Systematic review of the agreement of tonometers with Goldmann applanation tonometry.

Objective: To assess the agreement of tonometers available for clinical practice with the Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT), the most commonly accepted reference device.

Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis of directly comparative studies assessing the agreement of 1 or more tonometers with the reference tonometer (GAT).

Participants: A total of 11 582 participants (15 525 eyes) were included.
