Effect of Cardiorespiratory Fitness on Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death in Overweight/Obese Men Aged 42 to 60 Years
2018
The purpose of this study was to examine the subject and combined associations of cardiorespiratory fitness (fitness) and body mass index (BMI) with the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in middle-aged men. This prospective study was based on a population sample of 2,357 men aged 42 to 60 years, who were followed up in the Kuopio Ischemic Heart Disease cohort study. Fitness was directly measured by peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) during progressive exercise testing to volitional fatigue. Participants were divided into 4 groups (fit-normal weight, unfit-normal weight, fit-overweight/obese, and unfit-overweight/obese) based on the median values of fitness and BMI. A total of 253 (10.7%) SCDs oc…
Effects of sauna bath on heart failure : A systematic review and meta-analysis
2018
Background: Sauna bath has potential as a lifestyle treatment modality for heart failure (HF). It is important to analyze the current evidence to help suggest paths of future study and potential for clinical application. Hypothesis: Sauna bath has a positive effect on HF patients. Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL databases were searched to identify randomized and nonrandomized controlled studies to compare effects of sauna bath with no sauna bath. Studies were searched for both infrared sauna bath and Finnish sauna bath. The strength of evidence was rated using a modified GRADE approach. Out of 1444 studies, nine met the inclusion criteria and were included in this review. Seve…

Effects of exercise training on maximal oxygen uptake in heart failure : a systematic review and meta-analysis
2012
SUMMARY Aims. Low cardiorespiratory fitness is a common physical status among patients with heart failure. Several studies have examined the effects of exercise training on maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) in heart failure. Though, these studies had relatively small sample sizes and highly variable results. Therefore the aim of this study was to systemically review the effects of exercise training on VO2max in heart failure patients. Methods. Database search of randomized controlled trials was conducted from Ovid MEDLINE and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Search was allocated to studies with patients with heart failure, structured exercise intervention, control group receivin…
Exercise cardiac power and the risk of heart failure in men : A population-based follow-up study
2022
Background Little is known about exercise cardiac power (ECP), defined as the ratio of directly measured maximal oxygen uptake with peak systolic blood pressure during exercise on heart failure (HF) risk. We examined the association of ECP and the risk of HF. Methods This was a population-based cohort study of 2351 men from eastern Finland. The average time to follow-up was 25 years. Participants participated at baseline in an exercise stress test. A total of 313 cases of HF occurred. Results Men with low ECP (13.92 mL/mmHg, highest quartile), after adjusting for age. Low ECP was associated with a 1.96-fold risk (95%CI: 1.38 − 2.78, p < 0.001) of HF after additional adjustment for conventio…
Peritoneaalidialyysipotilaiden elämänlaatu sekä ikääntymisen yhteys hoitojen sujuvuuteen, potilaana selviytymiseen ja elämänlaatuun
2015
Suomalaisen väestön yleisimpiä pitkäaikaissairauksia ovat perinteisesti olleet erilaiset sydän- ja verisuonisairaudet. Diabeteksen esiintyvyys on voimakkaassa kasvussa, jonka vuoksi siitä on tullut myös yksi maamme yleisimmistä pitkäaikaissairauksista. Yhdessä nämä sairaudet ovat edesauttaneet erilaisten munuaissairauksien yleistymistä. Myös ikääntymisen on nähty olevan yhteydessä munuaissairauksien lisääntymiseen. Tässä pro gradu- tutkielmassa mielenkiinto kohdistettiin kroonista munuaisten vajaatoimintaa sairastaviin yksilöihin. Tutkimuksessa tarkoituksena oli tutkia peritoneaalidialyysipotilaiden elämänlaatua sekä ikääntymisen yhteyttä hoitojen sujuvuuteen, potilaana selviytymiseen ja el…
Fecal pancreatic elastase-1 levels in older individuals without known gastrointestinal diseases or diabetes mellitus
2011
Background - Structural changes occur in the pancreas as a part of the natural aging process. With aging, also the incidence of maldigestive symptoms and malnutrition increases, raising the possibility that these might be caused at least in part by inadequate pancreatic enzyme secretion due to degenerative processes and damage of the gland. Fecal elastase-1 is a good marker of pancreatic exocrine secretion. The aim of this study was to investigate the fecal elastase-1 levels among over 60 years old Finnish and Polish healthy individuals without any special diet, known gastrointestinal disease, surgery or diabetes mellitus. Methods - A total of 159 patients participated in this cross-section…
Running away from cardiovascular disease at the right speed: The impact of aerobic physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness on cardiovascular …
2020
Higher levels of physical activity (PA) and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) are associated with lower risk of incident cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the relationship of aerobic PA and CRF with risk of atherosclerotic CVD outcomes and heart failure (HF) seem to be distinct. Furthermore, recent studies have raised concerns of potential toxicity associated with extreme levels of aerobic exercise, with higher levels of coronary artery calcium and incident atrial fibrillation noted among individuals with very high PA levels. In contrast, the relationship between PA levels and measures of left ventricular structure and function and risk of HF is more linear. Thus, personalizing exercise …

Liikuntaharjoittelu sydäntä synkronoivassa tahdistinhoidossa : omatoimisen liikuntaharjoittelun yhteys vajaatoimintatahdistinpotilaan fyysiseen suori…
2014
Sydämen vajaatoiminta on kasvava terveysongelma. Monet tutkimukset ovat osoittaneet, että sydäntä synkronoi-valla tahdistinhoidolla (CRT) voidaan parantaa sydämen vajaatoimintapotilaan suorituskykyä ja elämänlaatua. Kuitenkin tutkimuksia liikuntaharjoittelun vaikutuksesta vajaatoimintatahdistinpotilaan suorituskykyyn ja elämänlaatuun on rajoitetusti. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää sydäntä synkronoivan tahdistinhoidon yhteyttä sydämen kroonista vajaatoimintaa (NYHA I-IV) sairastavien henkilöiden suorituskykyyn ja elämänlaatuun kolme kuukautta tahdistimen asentamisen jälkeen. Lisäksi tarkoituksena oli tutkia, saadaanko kolmen kuukauden kohdalla tahdistinhoitoon liitetyllä omato…
