Low skeletal muscle mass is associated with low aerobic capacity and increased mortality risk in patients with coronary heart disease: a CARE CR study. (2018)
Journal Article
NICHOLS, S., O'DOHERTY, A.F., TAYLOR, C., CLARK, A.L., CARROLL, S. and INGLE, L. 2019. Low skeletal muscle mass is associated with low aerobic capacity and increased mortality risk in patients with coronary heart disease: a CARE CR study. Clinical physiology and functional imaging [online], 39(1), pages 93-102. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1111/cpf.12539

In patients with chronic heart failure, there is a positive linear relationship between skeletal muscle mass (SMM) and peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak); an independent predictor of all-cause mortality. We investigated the association between SMM and...

Is cardiorespiratory fitness related to cardiometabolic health and all-cause mortality risk in patients with coronary heart disease? A CARE CR study. (2018)
Journal Article
NICHOLS, S., TAYLOR, C., PAGE, R., KALLVIKBACKA-BENNETT, A., NATION, F., GOODMAN, T., CLARK, A.L., CARROLL, S. and INGLE, L. 2018. Is cardiorespiratory fitness related to cardiometabolic health and all-cause mortality risk in patients with coronary heart disease? A CARE CR study. Sports medicine - open [online], 4, article number 22. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1186/s40798-018-0138-z

Higher cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is associated with lower morbidity and mortality in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). The mechanisms for this are not fully understood. A more favourable cardiometabolic risk factor profile may be resp...
