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
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
: 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.
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
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
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
Within the general population people destined for myocardial infarction are found to be more obsessional and greater worriers than others. Moreover, in the year before their infarction they display high levels of sadness, anxiety-related symptoms, loss of libido, and fatigue, unrelated to angina and
OBJECTIVE
To examine Black, Hispanic, and White women's knowledge of the symptoms of acute myocardial infarction.
METHODS
Descriptive, nonexperimental design.
METHODS
Detroit, Michigan, and San Antonio, Texas, metropolitan areas.
METHODS
A convenience sample of 78 ethnically diverse women. Hispanics
BACKGROUND
The extent to which depression impairs health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in the physically ill has not been clearly established.
OBJECTIVE
To quantify the adverse influence of depression and anxiety, assessed at the time of first myocardial infarction and 6 months later, on the
We report a case of hypercalcemia in an elderly patient due to vitamin D intoxication with clinical features and electrocardiogram (ECG) findings mimicking acute myocardial infarction. A 78-year-old man was referred to our department with symptoms of general fatigue, anorexia and chest pain. The ECG
OBJECTIVE
The study objective was to describe the prevalence and correlates of sleep disturbances among women who retrospectively reported sleep disturbance before their myocardial infarction (MI). MI is frequently unrecognized in women because they may have only vague symptoms, such as sleep
