Abstract Objective To analyze work-environment determinants that could affect emergency healthcare workers’ (EHW’s) personal lives in the Spanish health system. Methods A structured self-administered questionnaire consisted of socio-demographics, work environment-related and EHW’s life-related questions was sent to professionals. Descriptive statistics were used. Bivariable multivariable binary logistic regression analyses performed identify presence an association between outcomes. Results...
Muscle wasting is pronounced in patients with heart failure preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The quadriceps femoris echotexture biomarkers assessed by ultrasound (US) have not been studied these patients.
Background: The 6-Min Walking Test (6MWT) has been proposed to assess functional aerobic capacity in patients with heart failure, but many older adults failure cannot complete it. adequacy of the 5-repetition Sit-To-Stand (5-STS), a simpler test than 6MWT, not evaluated. Objectives: This study aimed usefulness 5-STS estimating maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 peak) preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Methods: A cross-sectional was carried out. Patients 70 years and HFpEF were included. bivariant...
Sarcopenia is an important comorbidity in patients with heart failure preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The ultrasound (US) assessment has all the advantages of being used primary care to assess muscle quantity and quality. Some biomarkers could be indicative mass loss.To describe quantitative qualitative characteristics quadriceps femoris assessed by US older adults HFpEF relationship blood urinary biomarkers, polypharmacy comorbidities outcomes HFpEF.A cross-sectional study was...
This paper aims to assess kinematic parameters related functional capacity, fatigue, and breathlessness during the 6-min walk test (6MWT) in patients with heart failure preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Patients with heart failure preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) have a low functional status, which in turn is risk factor for hospital admission and an important predictor of survival HFpEF. HFpFE heterogeneous syndrome recent studies suggested role careful, pathophysiological-based phenotyping to improve patient characterization. Cardiac rehabilitation has proven be useful tool the framework secondary prevention patients Facilitating decision-making implementing cardiac programs challenge...
Abstract Heart failure (HF)-related factors potentially lead to sarcopenia. Ultrasound (US) assessment has all the advantages of being used in clinical practice assess muscle architecture. This study aimed relationship between quadriceps femoris (QF) architecture with gender, age, body mass index (BMI), strength and physical function older adults HF preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) as well difference these relationships two genders. Patients 70 years HFpEF were included. The age BMI...
It is a challenge to manage and assess heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients. Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) used in this clinical population as functional test. The objective of the study was gait kinematic parameters HFpEF patients during 6MWT an inertial sensor discriminate according their performance 6MWT: (1) walk more or less than 300 m, (2) finish stop test, (3) women men (4) fallen did not fall last year. A cross-sectional performed older 70...
Background: Breast cancer survivors (BCS) frequently show upper limb dysfunctions. The forearm muscle activity measured by surface electromyography (sEMG) in this population has not been studied. This study aimed to describe BCS, as well assess its possible relationship with other variables related functionality and cancer-related fatigue (CRF).Materials Methods: A cross-sectional was carried out including 102 BCS volunteers at a secondary care Malaga, Spain. were included if they aged...
