Significant differences in the hemodynamic response to upright and supine exercise have been reported in patients with coronary artery disease. The purpose of the present study was to compare the degree of myocardial ischemia as assessed by ST segment depression during upright treadmill and supine bicycle exercise in 98 patients with coronary artery disease and in 34 patients with normal coronary arteries. The amount of ST segment depression at maximal exercise in patients with coronary artery disease was 0.90 +/- 0.80 mm for treadmill and 1.34 +/- 1.09 mm for supine bicycle (p less than 0.001). The amount of ST segment depression during treadmill and supine bicycle exercise tests was also compared at highest similar heart rates (0.68 +/- 0.77 versus 1.17 +/- 1.01, p less than 0.001), at highest similar rate-pressure products (0.71 +/- 0.77 versus 1.08 +/- 1.04, p less than 0.001), at highest similar metabolic equivalents of oxygen consumption (MET) levels (0.69 +/- 0.75 versus 1.20 +/- 1.05 mm, p less than 0.001) and at the onset of angina (0.84 +/- 0.73 versus 1.18 +/- 0.88 mm, p less than 0.001). The rate-pressure product achieved at maximal exercise was similar in both tests (18.74 +/- 5.80 x 10(3) versus 18.81 +/- 5.17 x 10(3), p = NS). The occurrence of angina during treadmill and supine bicycle exercise tests was similar (47 of 98 versus 48 of 98, respectively, p = NS). For the detection of coronary artery disease, the sensitivity was 50.0% for treadmill and 63.3% for supine bicycle (p less than 0.05) and the specificity was 73.5 versus 70.6%, respectively (p = NS).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Background: Exposure to high altitude may unpredictably lead to acute mountain sickness (AMS). The purpose of this study was to identify the predictors of AMS at low altitude using exercise stress echocardiography (ESE).
Methods: A total of 40 healthy adults were enrolled and underwent comprehensive supine bicycle ESE at low altitude, including pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), right ventricular area index at the end of diastole, B-lines, and inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter.
Effect of low-frequency neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with passive cycle ergometry on hemodynamics in healthy adults.

There have been few studies that have examined hemodynamic responses to low-frequency neuromuscular electrical stimulation (LF-NMES), and the effects of combining passive cycle ergometry are still unclear. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a combination of LF-NMES and passive cycle ergometry on hemodynamic responses with a primary focus on the Fick principle in healthy adults. A randomized, crossover trial was conducted to evaluate the responses to three types of supine exercises (LF-NMES alone, LF-NMES with passive cycle ergometry, and voluntary cycle ergometry) adjusted to the same exercise intensity as the oxygen consumption of 14 mL/kg/min in 13 healthy adult men.

Background: Invasive exercise right heart catheterization is a gold standard in diagnosing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Body positions during the test influence hemodynamics. However, the discrepancy in HFpEF diagnosis between exercise testing in supine versus upright position is unknown.

Head-down tilt bedrest is a terrestrial model for weightlessness and induces orthostatic intolerance. We hypothesized that lower-body negative pressure (LBNP) or cycling followed by wearing venous constrictive thigh cuffs mitigates orthostatic intolerance after head-down tilt bedrest.

Article Synopsis
- * The case study focuses on a male patient in his 70s who had surgery for a left temporal subdural hematoma, which he developed after a bicycle accident, leading to gait issues and reduced consciousness.
- * Post-surgery monitoring using NIRS revealed significant changes in cerebral oxygen dynamics, particularly on postoperative day 2, indicating its potential role in assessing recovery and guiding rehabilitation efforts.
