Aim: Assessment of blood pressure during exercise is routine in athletes, but normal values remain equivocal. This study examines the response of systolic blood pressure (SBP) to exercise in a large cohort of athletes and establishes normative values by sex and age.
Methods: Competitive athletes free of cardiovascular disease underwent pre-participation exercise testing on a bicycle ergometer.
Article Synopsis
- Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) utilizes extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to support patients experiencing refractory cardiac arrest, with survival outcomes heavily influenced by the patient's age.* -
- Younger patients typically show better survival and neurological outcomes with ECPR, stressing the importance of age in clinical decision-making alongside other factors.* -
- The review highlights disparities in survival rates between in-hospital and out-of-hospital cardiac arrests and discusses the potential of artificial intelligence in creating predictive models, while also raising ethical questions related to age-based treatment.*
This review examines the relationship between the physiological demands of diving and premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) in divers. In the general population, some individuals have a greater tendency to experience PVCs, often without awareness or a clear understanding of the triggering factors. With the increasing availability and popularity of both scuba and apnoea diving, more people, including those with a predisposition to PVCs, are engaging in these activities.

Here, we analyzed inter- and intraobserver variation in a modified EAM-CT registration using automatic registration algorithms designed to yield higher robustness.
Materials And Methods: This work is based on data of 10 patients who had previously undergone STAR.
