Article Synopsis
- The study examined how two different high-intensity interval training (HIIT) programs (low-volume and high-volume) combined with Mediterranean diet recommendations affected cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and body composition in individuals who had experienced a myocardial infarction (MI).
- 70 participants were randomly assigned to either an attention control group or one of the two HIIT groups, where they completed a 16-week intervention, training twice a week.
- Results showed that the HIIT groups had reductions in waist circumference and improvements in CRF, while the attention control group showed no significant changes; both HIIT volumes were similarly effective, with low-volume HIIT being time-efficient for enhancing fitness.
Ablation of Arrhythmias in Patients with Adult Congenital Heart Disease.
Arrhythm Electrophysiol Rev
May 2014
Arrhythmias in adults with congenital heart disease, most commonly related to previous surgical procedures, are a frequent comorbidity in this growing population thanks to the improved outcome of surgical techniques. Re-entrant circuits around areas of scarring and natural barriers, combined with abnormal haemodynamics and the underlying anatomy, are the most common cause for these arrhythmias. They are often poorly tolerated and medical treatment is frequently inadequate.
