Is physical performance associated with markers of vascular inflammation in patients with coronary heart disease?
We demonstrated that physical performance is inversely correlated with levels of pro-inflammatory markers in coronary heart disease patients, possibly retarding the process of atherosclerosis. No effect on inflammatory markers was obtained with a 6-month lifestyle intervention programme when compared with patients who received usual care follow-up.
FS T1-GRE imaging with the subject staring at each of multiple targets is useful for evaluating precisely the size of extraocular muscles.
