Sports and Cardiometry

Dear readers

We have decided to dedicate this issue to discussing sports medicine topics, namely, to defining what is the healthy heart performance. We are glad to present some fresh papers considering these problems of physiology in sports from the standpoint of Cardiometry.

Biochemical effects and mechanism of action in succinate-containing substances for improving working capacity and recovery after loading

Now it is the time to consider directly the energy processes in the organism, which make an effect on the athletic performance, and not only thereon. In the organism, there is a coherent system of interactions between anaerobic and aerobic energy supply with the most active role of mitochondria.

Digital heart rate diagnostics

Heart rate diagnostics based on tactile sensations has been known for over 5 thousand years. Medieval doctors used it and modern doctors use it. With the advent of the Marei arteriograph in 1860, heart rate waves became possible to observe, creating visual images, and subsequently analyze them using a computer in digital form.

Comparative analysis of characteristics of electrodes to estimate accuracy in recording long-term ECG signal parameters

This paper presents some results of a comparative analysis of characteristics of electrodes to estimate the accuracy of recording long-term ECG signal parameters. To obtain the characteristics of the analyzed electrodes of various types, the resistance values of the contact conductive substance of each of them were measured.

Doping-free technology to significantly increase efficiency in physiological conditioning in athletes on the basis of heart cycle phase analysis, including regular day-based monitoring of all hemodynamic data

The offered noninvasive device and technology CARDIOCODE (www.cardiocode.ru, www.cardiometry.net) are capable of delivering data on any changes in the performance of the cardiovascular system and tracing development of any processes that may occur in the heart and blood vessel system, and all that in a very simple and most accurate way.

Performance of arteriovenous shunts as an adaptational & protective mechanism responsible for the proper coronary hemodynamics

The paper presents issues on actions and effects made by the discovered phenomena of shunting in the blood flow, when blood is directed from large artery vessels into large-sized venous vessels, on the hemodynamics profile of the proper heart.

Correlation between neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and red cell distribution width to platelet ratio with ST segment resolution and 2 month complications in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing primary coronary intervention

Acute myocardial infarction causes a great number of mortality and morbidity each year. Risk assessment and prognosis is one of the initial steps in approaching a patient with acute myocardial infarction.

ESC Congress 2019 together with World Congress of Cardiology

The regular annual congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) was held August 31 - September 4, 2019 in Paris, France. This year, the congress was held in cooperation with the World Society of Cardiology (WCC), that attracted even more attention to the event. More than 10,000 delegates from around the world attended the five-day congress.

Lecture

The actions and effects produced by external and internal factors on the human organism and sports results from the standpoint of adaptational reactions. Control of reserve capabilities in athletes.

It has long been thought who wants to be healthy and strong should go in for sports: do exercises, run, swim, participate in sports games and so on. Speaking about amateur sporting participants, the result of being vigorous, energetic, able-bodied and physically & emotionally attractive is important for us.

Cardiometric fingerprints of various human ego states

The article presents experimental evidence of the validity of the hypothesis that theoretical construct “ego state”, in addition to the psychological content, actually reflects the physiological mobilization of a human individual to provide a certain type of response. It is shown that the mobilization is manifested in a certain specific pattern inherent to the cardiovascular system performance.

Time-to-reperfusion in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing interhospital transfer using WhatsApp smartphone application

Current guidelines recommend that patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) receive primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a door-to-balloon (D2B) time of 90 minutes. This time frame has been difficult to achieve in developing countries. We aimed to test the hypothesis that using WhatsApp for inter-hospital transfer in STEMI primary PCI would result in shorter D2B time through avoiding emergency department (ED) waiting.
