Ambulatory electrocardiography in squash players.
Northcote, R J, MacFarlane, P, Ballantyne, D
Ambulatory electrocardiography was carried out in 21 healthy, fit, male squash players (aged 23-43 years) before, during, and after match play. Resulting electrocardiograms were analysed with respect...
Antianginal efficacy of exercise training: a comparison with beta blockade.
Forty men with chronic stable angina and no prior myocardial infarction were studied. Exercise tolerance testing was carried out off treatment and after beta blockade. beta Blockers were stopped and...
