The hemodynamic status monitoring of high-risk surgical patients and critically ill patients in
Intensive Care Units is one of the main objectives of their therapeutic management. Cardiac …

Several techniques assessing cardiac output (Q) during exercise are available. The extent to
which the measurements obtained from each respective technique compares to one …

While acute treatment with beetroot juice (BRJ) containing nitrate (NO3−) can lower systolic
blood pressure (SBP), afterload, and myocardial O2 demand during submaximal exercise …

The study investigated whether high-intensity exercise impairs inspiratory and expiratory
muscle perfusion in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of two techniques for the continuous
assessment of cardiac output in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF): a radial artery …

Introduction Impedance cardiography (IC) derived from morphological analysis of the
thoracic impedance signal is now commonly used for noninvasive assessment of cardiac …

Background Expiratory flow limitation and lung hyperinflation promote cardiocirculatory
perturbations that might impair O2 delivery to locomotor muscles in patients with chronic …

Background Patients with fibromyalgia (FM) exhibit low peak oxygen uptake (V˙ O2peak).
We aimed to detect the contribution of cardiac output to (Q˙) and arteriovenous oxygen …

Key points Exercise intolerance is common in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD) patients. In patients with COPD, we compared an interval exercise (IE) protocol …

Purpose. Despite the increasing popularity of marathon running, there are no data on the
responses of stroke volume (SV) and cardiac output (CO) to exercise in this context. We …
