On the tenth day of admission, nerve conduction studies showed reduced amplitude of sensory and motor action potentials from all the nerves tested (median sensory 1-5 uV; ulnar sensory 2-1 uV; sural sensory 1-2 uV; median motor 5-5 mV; peroneal motor 1-3 mV). The fastest sensory and motor conduction velocities and the shortest distal motor latencies, and F latencies were normal. EMG studies with a concentric needle electrode were normal, except for a slight increment of polyphasia. Blink reflex studies were normal, as was repetitive stimulation. Brain stem auditory evoked responses, somatosensory
Congenital heart diseases are a frequent cause of cardiology consultation. New diagnostic and therapeutic techniques have allowed greater survival and quality of life of patients who wish to participate in sports. What they can do is not always easy to determine. Guidelines are helpful at the time of deciding, although finally is the doctor the one that must determine in each case the situation of the patient and the type of exercise they can do depending on the severity and type of cardiopathy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
