A descriptive design with repeated measures was used to describe patterns of fatigue, emotional stress, and left ventricular (LV) function among 22 patients with myocardial infarction (MI) from day 5 postadmission to day 21 postadmission for the MI. The severity of fatigue in patients with MI during
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of three questionnaires to measure fatigue with myocardial infarction. The Fatigue Symptom Inventory Interference Scale, Profile of Moods States Fatigue subscale (POMS-F), and Short Form 36 (SF-36) Vitality Scale were completed
BACKGROUND
Disturbed sleep has been linked to increased morbidity, mortality and depression and worsened health-related quality of life in patients with chronic illness. Few studies of readjustment after coronary artery disease have explicitly focused on sleep disturbance.
OBJECTIVE
To explore
OBJECTIVE
To investigate changes in self-reported fatigue and depression from four months to two years following a myocardial infarction, as well as to explore gender differences, identify the incidence of fatigue without coexisting depression and finally predict health-related quality of life at a
Fatigue and depressive symptoms are relatively common among patients recovering from myocardial infarction (MI). The symptoms of depression and fatigue overlap. The present study aimed at identifying patient fatigue and at examining the incidence of fatigue, particularly without coexisting
OBJECTIVE
To explore the potential relationship between fatigue following strokes and poststroke mood, cognitive dysfunction, disability, and infarct site and to determine the predictive factors in the development of poststroke fatigue (PSF) following minor infarcts.
METHODS
Ninety-nine functionally
OBJECTIVE
: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is impaired in patients after a myocardial infarction (MI), and fatigue and depression are common health complaints among these patients. Patients' own beliefs about their illness (illness perceptions) influence health behavior and health outcomes.
OBJECTIVE
This work investigated the effects of 3,4-methylenedioxybenzoyl-2-thienylhydrazone (LASSBio-294) treatment on the contractile response of soleus (SOL) muscle from rats submitted to myocardial infarction (MI).
METHODS
Following coronary artery ligation, LASSBio-294 (2mg/kg, i.p.) or vehicle
There is increasing evidence that platelets play an important role in the pathogenesis of acute ischemic heart disease. Therefore an understanding of factors that influence platelet performance is important. This study was undertaken (1) to characterize during evolving myocardial infarction platelet
OBJECTIVE
We investigated the relative effects of fatigue, depressive symptoms, and hopelessness on prognosis at 2-year follow-up in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients.
METHODS
Consecutively admitted PCI patients (n=534) treated with paclitaxel-eluting stent as the default strategy
OBJECTIVE
AIM of the study was to examine the relationships between biochemical and physiological changes induced by exercise in postmyocardial infarction patients (PMIP) during the early stages of cardiac rehabilitation.
METHODS
Forty-nine male non-blockade recent PMIP, aged 63.8 ± 4.7 years,
In order to understand the mechanisms of exercise intolerance and muscle fatigue, which are commonly observed in congestive heart failure, we studied sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+)-transport in the hind-leg skeletal muscle of rats subjected to myocardial infarction (MI). Sham-operated animals
Skeletal muscle weakness and decreased exercise capacity are major symptoms reported by patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). Intriguingly, these skeletal muscle symptoms do not correlate with the decreased heart function. This suggests that CHF leads to maladaptive changes in skeletal
Acetazolamide has been used for a long time for the evaluation of cerebral hemodynamics. Severe side effects as a result of acetazolamide infusion are uncommon. Two patients with unilatral internal carotid artery occlusion presented with enlargement of cerebral infarction after SPECT (single photon
Symptoms of fatigue are often reported by patients in both the acute and chronic stages of recovery following a stroke. It is commonly associated with low mood and sleep disturbances, but can arise in their absence. However, it has also been associated with poorer long-term outcome and, as such, its
