Aim: To assess orthogonal ECG system McFee-Parungao in exercise test performed by patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD).

Material And Methods: The trial included 103 patients: 41 patients with IHD, 23 patients with IHD combined with arterial hypertension and 39 control patients free of IHD. All the patients performed bicycle exercise with ECG registration in the corrected orthogonal system of leads modified according to McFee-Parungao. In 11 patients ECG was registered in two systems--orthogonal and standard 12-lead. Sensitivity and specificity in IHD were assessed.

Results: Parameters of the bicycle exercise test registered by ECG in the corrected orthogonal system indicated that sensitivity and specificity of this system in IHD patients are not inferior to sensitivity and specificity of the standard 12-lead ECG system.

Conclusion: The system of orthogonal leads McFee-Parungao is recommended for use in the practice of bicycle exercise tests in IHD patients.

Background: This study aimed to compare the effects of a carbohydrate (CHO) hydrogel with (ALG-CP) or without (ALG-C) branched-chain amino acids, and a CHO-only non-hydrogel (CON), on cycling performance. The hydrogels, encapsulated in an alginate matrix, are designed to control CHO release, potentially optimising absorption, increasing substrate utilisation, and reducing gastrointestinal distress as well as carious lesions.

Methods: In a randomised, double-blinded, crossover trial, 10 trained male cyclists/triathletes completed three experimental days separated by ~6 days.

Background: Given the high prevalence of stage A or B heart failure (HF), comprehensive screening for new-onset HF is cost-prohibitive. Therefore, further risk stratification is warranted to identify at-risk patients. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic utility of cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) with bicycle stress echocardiography (BSE) in patients with stage A or B HF.

Chronotropic incompetence (CTI), the inability of the heart to increase its rate with increased activity, leads to exercise intolerance and predicts overall mortality. We previously reported that cardiac β-adrenergic receptor downregulation occurs in patients with CTI without heart failure (HF), indicating postsynaptic sympathetic nervous dysfunction. However, cardiac presynaptic sympathetic nervous system function in CTI is not fully understood.

Article Synopsis
  • Swimmers exhibit higher arterial stiffness (measured by PWV) compared to cyclists, despite having similar peak oxygen uptake levels.
  • Heart-brachial PWV is lower in swimmers than in untrained controls, suggesting benefits specific to this group.
  • Aerobically trained cyclists show greater reductions in brachial-ankle PWV compared to both swimmers and controls, indicating a difference in cardiovascular adaptations between these exercise modes.
