摘要:

In briefThis article presents five case reports of patients whose heart disease worsened while they were participating in an exercise program. The purpose is not to imply a relationship between exercise and the deterioration of the subjects‘conditions but to illustrate the danger of making broad conclusions from case reports or unusual patients. After considering all the benefits of exercise and the other factors that could explain these patients’deterioration, the authors believe that moderate exercise is a sane prescription. They are currently undertaking a randomized scientific investigation that may provide valid evidence to support this belief.

摘要:

In briefThree men and four women, ages 19 to 60, were measured on a battery of laboratory tests before and after a four-week bicycle tour to determine the effects of long-distance bicycling on physical fitness. There was no significant body weight change, although the average total fat weight loss was 1.4 kg. Total skinfold measures showed a significant reduction, and the waist girth reduced 2%. Trunk flexion showed significant improvement, and trunk extension and ankle flexibility showed a slight reduction. Maximal oxygen intake increased significantly (11%). The greatest improvement was the mean bicycle ergometer riding time and resistance to higher work loads (17%).

摘要:

In briefA 46-year-old man presented with symptoms of peripheral vascular disease in 1966. In 1976 arteriography revealed 100% occlusion of both femoral arteries at midthigh and some reconstitution of flow via collaterals into the popliteal region. His cholesterol level was initially 407 mg/100 ml, and his walking tolerance was 100 yards. After a 26-day stay at the Pritikin Longevity Center, his cholesterol dropped from 230 mg/100 ml to 130 mg/100 ml, and his walking tolerance increased to 3 miles in one hour with little leg pain. He has run more than 20 road races and completed a marathon. A recent exercise Doppler exam and a second arteriogram indicated a significant increase in blood flow due to dilation of deep femoral arteries and existing collateral vessels.

摘要:

In briefWhen a young person presents with typical symptoms of claudication that are relieved with rest, physicians should consider a vascular abnormality in the popliteal fossa. The popliteal artery may become entrapped because a cyst or fibrous band compresses the artery or because the artery deviates from its normal course. This article describes the diagnosis and treatment of popliteal artery entrapment syndrome and discusses two case reports. Arteriography is needed to establish the definitive diagnosis. Surgery relieving the entrapment is indicated to alleviate symptoms and to prevent possible future disability from arterial thrombosis and distal embolization or occlusion. This therapy provides excellent results.
