Based on Study by Barnard, K.L., K.J. Adams, A.M.Swank, M. Kaelin, M.R. Kushnik, and D.M. Denny. Combined high-intensity strength and aerobic training in patients with congestive heart failure. J. Strength Cond. Res. 14(4):383–388. 2000, what was the difference in INCREASE between AT (Aerobic training only) vs. ATST (Aerobic training, plus strength training) group?
|
The ATST group significantly improved strength in comparison with the AT group, with an average increase of 26%.
|
What is MI, and what is/are typical cause(s)?
|
MI stands for Myocardial Infarction, typically caused by thrombus formation in the coronary artery, due to established CAD (Coronary Artery Disease) or Atherosclerosis.
|
The genesis of atherosclerosis is slow and progressive and has a long asymptomatic phase (36,176). What factors likely play a direct or indirect role in atherosclerotic development?
|
Diabetes (i.e., metabolic injury), physical inactivity, obesity, smoking, hypertension, blood concentrations of homocysteine, C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleuken-6 (IL6), the aging process, genetic makeup, and gender-related factors (15,27,32,77,79,85, 95,111,139,140,174,177).
|
What are some common Sx of MI?
|
Angina pectoris, unusual shortness of breath (i.e., dyspnea) profound weakness, profuse sweating (i.e., diaphoresis), loss of consciousness (i.e., syncope), confusion, dizziness, nausea.
|
Name some general Rx for Diabetes.
|
For Type-1 = InsulinFor Type 2 = Sulfonylureas (chlorpropamide, tolbutamide, glipizide, glyburide, and glimepiride), Biguanides, Thiazolidinediones, Alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitors, DPP-4 Inhibitors
|
Define metabolic syndrome.
|
It's a term for endogenous risk factors that increase the risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), type 2 diabetes mellitus, and recently reported, kidney disease (16).
|
What are some pharmacological treatments for hypertension?
|
1. ACE inhibitor or ARB class of drugs2. Decreased sodium intake3. Increased physical activity4. Decreased psychological stress
