Journal ArticleDOI

Avoiding Repeat Cardiac Events: The ABCDESs of Tertiary Prevention.

TL;DR: Multifactorial risk-factor modification—especially intensive ways to manage hyperlipid-emia—may slow, halt, or even reverse the progression of coronary artery disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the mode of exercise appropriate to a "primitive" community.

TL;DR: The physiological response to a given metabolic effort (respiratory minute volume, gas exchange ratio and heart rate) were exaggerated during bicycle ergometer exercise, and in consequence the aerobic power was underestimated by such procedures as the Åstrand nomogram.
Journal Article
