There is No Association Between the Omega-3 Index and Depressive Symptoms in Patients With Heart Disease Who Are Low Fish Consumers
2017, Heart Lung and CirculationCitation Excerpt :Height and body mass were used to calculate body mass index (BMI) and fasting venous blood samples were collected from which LCn3PUFA status was measured in erythrocyte membranes. Angina status was measured by the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) [36] and the Canadian Cardiovascular Society Classification for Angina Pectoris (CCSA) [37]. The SAQ assessed four domains of interest for this study (angina frequency, physical limitation, quality of life and treatment satisfaction).
Assessment of physical activity in cardiovascular diseases
2005, Annales de Readaptation et de Medecine PhysiqueValidation of a specific activity questionnaire to estimate exercise tolerance in patients referred for exercise testing
2001, American Heart JournalCitation Excerpt :The advantages of these approaches include their ease of use and the avoidance of the time, expense, and risk associated with maximal exercise. Their disadvantages include the fact that they are subjective, and early approaches, such as the New York Heart Association (NYHA),18 Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS),19 and Specific Activity Scales (SAS),4 were limited by classification into only 4 functional groups, by having relatively poor interobserver reliability, and by the fact that they generally provided only modest associations with exercise tolerance measured by exercise testing.1,4,6,20-23 A more recent application of an activity or symptom questionnaire is to help individualize an exercise protocol before performing an exercise test.2,3,8,24
