METHODS: Patients admitted due to myocardial infarction (MI), included in the ACTION Registrys and CathPCI Registrys, in a private Brazilian hospital (i.e., the refere...
The influence of aerobic fitness status on ventilatory efficiency in patients w...
Prado, Danilo M.L.; Rocco, Enéas A.; Silva, Alexandre G.; Silva, Priscila F.; Lazzari, Jaqueline M.; Assumpção, Gabriela L.; Thies, Sheyla B.OBJECTIVE: To test the hypotheses that 1) coronary artery disease patients with lower aerobic fitness exhibit a lower ventilatory efficiency and 2) coronary artery disease patients with lower initial aerobic fitness exhibit greater improvements in ventilatory efficiency with aerobic exercise training. METHOD: A total of 123 patients (61.0±0.7 years) with coronary artery disease were divided according to aerobic...

Rocco, Enéas A.; Prado, Danilo M. L.; Silva, Alexandre G.; Lazzari, Jaqueline M. A.; Bortz, Pedro C.; Rocco, Débora F. M.; Rosa, Carla G.OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the following: 1) the effects of continuous exercise training and interval exercise training on the end-tidal carbon dioxide pressure (PETCO2) response during a graded exercise test in patients with coronary artery disease; and 2) the effects of exercise training modalities on the association between PETCO2 at the ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT) and ind...
