Physical Exertion As A Risk Factor For Ventricular Arrhythmia: A Prospective Cohort Study, Harpreet S. Chahal
Physical Exertion As A Risk Factor For Ventricular Arrhythmia: A Prospective Cohort Study, Harpreet S. Chahal
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Episodes of physical exertion are associated with an immediately higher risk of cardiovascular events while physical activity over the long-term is cardioprotective. To assess the transient and long-term risk of ventricular arrhythmia (VA), we conducted a nested case-crossover study within a prospective cohort of 97 patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD). Within an hour of episodes of exertion, the risk of VA was 5.3 (95% CI 2.7 – 10.6) times greater compared to periods of rest. The association was higher among patients with aerobic fitness below the median (RR[relative risk]=17.5, 95% 5.2 – 58.5) than for patients with aerobic fitness above …
The Effect Of A Multiple Modality Mind-Motor Exercise Intervention On Single And Dual-Task Gait, Balance, And Executive Function, In Community Dwelling Older Adults With A Subjective Cognitive Complaint: A Randomized Controlled Trial., John P. Bocti
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Cognitive decline disorders are becoming increasingly prevalent, with older adults at increased risk. Combined exercise has been recently explored as an intervention to help to prevent the decline, however cognitive activation in combination with physical activity has yet to be explored. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to determine the effects of multiple modality exercise programs in combination with a mind-motor task and their effects on mobility and cognitive variables. A total of (n=89) older adults (55+ yrs), with subjective cognitive complaints participated in a multiple modality exercise class, three days a week over six months, with the intervention …
Predictors Of Appropriate Referral To Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Validation Study, Samuel J. Malian
Predictors Of Appropriate Referral To Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Validation Study, Samuel J. Malian
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Approximately 45% of referrals from primary care physicians to arthroplasty surgeons are inappropriate. Currently, Canadians are waiting over three months for consultation with an arthroplasty surgeon. Reducing the proportion of inappropriate referrals will reduce the wait time to first consultation with an arthroplasty surgeon. This study’s objective was to validate a model that identified patient-reported predictors of appropriate referrals to arthroplasty. We screened 258 patients attending their first consultation with an arthroplasty surgeon. Participants completed the questionnaires prior to their appointment and the surgeon detailed each consultation outcome on a standardized form. We constructed our validation model using the same …
