Cardiopulmonary exercise testing for personalized job reintegration after acute cardiovascular attacks: a pilot cross-sectional study

Background:Cardiovascular diseases (CVD), particularly the ischemic heart disease, are a growing public health issue. In addition, the return to work after an acute cardiovascular attack represents a complex challenge.Objectives:To evaluate utility and safety of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), particularly performed “on site”, to promote a return to work in line with the residual working capacity.Methods:Fifty-nine workers affected by a major cardiovascular event, aged 18-63 years, have been enrolled between 2015 and 2018. All the patients underwent a CPET in outpatient clinic. Eleven workers also underwent the “on site” CPET, recorded during their working activities.Results:Outpatient clinic CPET outcomes (i.e. normal, mild impairment or moderate/severe impairment of cardiopulmonary function) were associated with the subjective perception of workers’ health status after returning to work. The “on site” CPET was found to be safe and reliable to promote a personalized return to work of patients. In 7 out of 11 patients, the values of O₂ consumption (VO₂) during the working activity were higher than 40% of VO₂ max as obtained from laboratory CPET.Conclusions:This study provides evidence for safety and usefulness of “on site” CPET for a personalized statement of fitness for work. This may facilitate the job retention of patients characterized by a high risk of unnecessary job loss. The use of CPET represents a first step of energy expenditure evaluation associated with specific working tasks.Key words: Acute coronary syndrome, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, return to work     

2型糖尿病患者脂蛋白（a）水平、载脂蛋白（a）多态性和冠状动脉粥样硬化严重程度的关系

背景:针对糖尿病患者Lp(a)水平和冠状动脉疾病(CAD)严重程度之间关系的研究较少并且结论有争议。另外,目前尚无关于apo(a)多态性与上述疾病关系的研究。本研究旨在探讨大样本2型糖尿病患者中冠状动脉粥样硬化的程度与Lp(a)水平及apo(a)多态性的相关性。方法:连续选取227例2型糖
