The aim of the research project is to investigate the influence of resistance-training prescription (repetition duration, time under tension and training volume) and sex have on morpho-functional adaptations of upper and lower-body skeletal muscles. Twenty-four male and female university students were randomly assigned to one of two experimental groups, based on the repetition duration : "fast" group (with 1 second for eccentric and concentric phase) and "slow" group with prolonged duration of eccentric contraction (4 seconds for eccentric and 1 second concentric phase). At baseline and final measurement, cross-section area, one-repetition maximum and tensiomyography parameters (contraction time - Tc and radial displacement - Dm) of elbow flexors (biceps brachii) and knee extensors (4 quadriceps muscles) were evaluated.
Correlation between Myocardial Deformation and Coronary Tortuosity and Analysis of Genetic Factors Among Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Patients
There is existing data in the literature that suggests an additional predictive value of three dimensional ECG with respect to the presence of electrical abnormalities and for an existing cardiac disease. Especially regarding patients who suffered from a myocardial infarction in the past (post MI patients), evidence has been provided for a potential association of 3D repolarisation abnormalities and incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD). In addition, there is some vague evidence of so called 3D ECG and prediction of coronary artery disease. This 3D ECG device is using the technology of 3D ECG vector loops and is assessing the variability of these ECG vector loops in the 3-dimensional space. Based on these data, the parameters of 3D ECG are suggested to carry certain value to predict or to identify individuals already suffering from a cardiac disease or being at risk experiencing a cardiac event in the future. In this context we performed a preliminary study with 3D-ECG device in healthy volunteers evaluating the robustness of this method with respect to reproducibility, intra- and intra-observer variability which could be confirmed. We thus postulate that the 3D ECG technology might bear the potential to serve as a sufficient screening method for diagnosing cardiomyopathy in patients with an unknown heart failure etiology.
This investigations aims to investigate whether supplementation with antioxidant vitamins (vitamin C and vitamin E) can influence, enhancing or blocking, the hypertrophic adaptations caused by strength training in sedentary subjects.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and potential efficacy of IMB-1018972 in patients with non-obstructive HCM.
Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) is a new mode of mechanical ventilation that delivers ventilatory assist in proportion to neural effort. The investigators hope to compare the hemodynamic and pulmonary effect in children after surgical repair of congenital heart disease with right ventricular hypertrophic ventilated with Pressure control ventilation (PCV), Pressure support ventilation (PSV), and NAVA by a crossover study.
The purposes of this study are to: 1. Learn about the safety of CK-3773274 after a single dose and multiple doses in Chinese healthy adult subjects. 2. Learn how healthy subjects tolerate CK-3773274 after a single dose and multiple doses. 3. Find out how much CK-3773274 is in the blood after a single dose and multiple doses. 4. Determine the effect of doses of CK-3773274 on the pumping function of the heart. 5. Evaluate the effect CYP2D6 genetic polymorphisms on how the body metabolizes CK-3773274.
The primary objective of the study is to compare Trans-Perineal Laser Ablation of Prostate versus Trans-Urethral Resection of Prostate in the immediate impact on post-operative pain; in terms of relief in benign prostatic obstruction and preservation of the ejaculatory function in the short term (at 1, 3 and 6 months). The secondary objective of the study is the evaluation of the long-term deobstructive effectiveness (12 months).
Objective to investigate the left ventricular (LV) systolic function by speckle tracking echocardiography before and after percutaneous intramyocardial septal radiofrequency ablation for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). Percutaneous intramyocardial septal radiofrequency ablation (named Liwen Procedure) is a safe and effective treatment approach for HOCM and results in sustained improvement in exercise capacity and persistent in reducing left ventricle outflow tract (LVOT) gradient. However, the systolic function of the myocardial after Liwen procedure in HOCM patients is not well exploration and research. Strain evaluation using speckle tracking echocardiography is an excellent tool for assessing regional and global LV functions. In this study, the investigators aimed to characterize regional and global strain using speckle tracking echocardiography to assess LV radial, circumferential and longitudinal systolic myocardial function in patients with HOCM before and after Liwen procedure.
