Bob is a 36 year old construction worker. He is mildly overweight (BMI=27), has hypertension, a family history of heart disease, no structured exercise and he is presently trying to quit smoking. One month ago, he complained of chest pain at work, and was rushed to hospital. A coronary angiogram confirmed that he had two (2) blocked arteries. Physicians tried to do angioplasty to open his clogged arteries but the procedure did not work. Subsequently, as a preventive measure, Bob had open heart surgery. His recovery in the hospital was excellent. His follow-up Bruce protocol test results (performed at rehab facility) are below.
Previous exercise history/diet history: never exercised before. Only reason he is exercising is because his wife and doctor have told him he needs to. Eats fast food for lunch every day. Only healthy meal is dinner.
Summary of Client Interview: thinks he gets enough exercise at work. “Hey I work hard all day, isn’t that enough?” “When I’m I going to possibly…
Brink studied the effect of postural change on cardiovascular reactivity for a sample of healthy white and African American men and women. Change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) from supine to standing position was used as the measure of cardiac reactivity in a sample of 842 adults. Supine measurement of blood pressure was taken after participants had lain on an examination table for 15 minutes. Blood pressure was measured five times every 2 minutes using a preset automated blood pressure monitor, and the five measurements were averaged. Participants then stood up, and an additional five measurements were made over another 10-minute period and then averaged. Below is a table describing the characteristics of Brink’s sample. (10 pts)

The primary symptom of an orthostatic intolerance is lightheadedness, fainting and an uncomfortable, rapid increase in heartbeat (tachycardia), a common response to a rapid drop in blood pressure as mediated by baroreceptors in the carotid bulb and aortic arch. There are several inconstant secondary symptoms. A syndrome is simply a constellation of symptoms, not all of which may be present in all cases, and as is the case in POTS, a syndrome may also have a wide variety of underlying causes. A subset of POTS patients suffer from a low blood volume. Would you predict that this particular subset of patients has elevated or suppressed plasma levels of renin and aldosterone?

- What characteristics are associated with heart rate, beats/minute? (Heart Rate= 1 missing) Use simple and multivariable linear regression analysis to complete the following table relating the characteristics listed to Heart rate, beats/minute as a continuous variable. Before conducting the analysis, be sure that all participants have complete data on all analysis variables. If participants are excluded due to missing data, the numbers excluded should be reported. Then, describe how each characteristic is related to Heart rate, beats/minute. Are crude and multivariable effects similar? What might explain or account for any differences?
