Insights
Bicycle ergometry helps diagnose climacteric cardiopathy in women aged 41-55. Physical exertion positively impacts myocardial repolarization in these patients.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Women's Health
- Exercise Physiology
Context:
- Investigating cardiac issues in women during menopause.
- Assessing diagnostic tools for heart conditions in middle-aged women.
Purpose:
- To evaluate bicycle ergometry for diagnosing climacteric cardiopathy.
- To determine the effect of physical load on myocardial repolarization in affected patients.
Summary:
- Bicycle ergometry was performed on 60 patients (41-55 years) with cardiac pain and ECG changes.
- The test confirmed climacteric cardiopathy in 39 patients and identified concurrent ischemic heart disease in 23.
- Physical exertion demonstrated a beneficial effect on myocardial repolarization.
Impact:
- Provides a diagnostic method for climacteric cardiopathy.
- Highlights the positive role of exercise in managing menopausal heart conditions.
- Contributes to understanding cardiovascular changes during climacteric.
Abstract:
Bicycle ergometry on the "Elema" electrical bicycle ergometer was conducted on 6, patients of climacteric age (41 to 55 years) with pain in the region of the heart and ECG changes. The method made it possible to confirm the diagnosis of climacteric cardiopathy in 39 and to reveal climacteric cardiopathy and concurrent ischemic heart disease in 23 patients. It was noted that physical load had a favourable effect on processes of repolarization in the myocardium of patients with climacteric cardiopathy.
